Former cable jointer, former Union Vice President, former Barrister, Soliciitor. I want the place to be fairer and nicer. Bundjalung country. MND sufferer
Can't help the feeling that this whole Porter blind trust thing is much bigger than appears. Given what the Speaker did and then the Gov voting against the referral there seems to be tension. A protection racket not only for Porter but possibly big names outside parliament.
Morning everyone. A line from a Guardian article today says "The Australian prime minister will use a key foreign policy speech on Monday to warn against “a transactional world, devoid of principle, accountability and transparency". Kinda describes him and his Government to a tee
So now that Labor have won the election the ABC is now highlighting everything that is wrong in this Country. What a pity the didn't do that for the last nine years.
#abc730
Scott Morrison refused to speak to Leigh Sales on 7.30 last night but today speaks with that bastion of Women's Rights and Activism Ray Hadley. Make his speech yesterday look even more hollow.
Imagine being Gerry Harvey and say that we shouldn't help the homeless because they contribute nothing to society while taking $22m in Government assistance he never really needed, making $462m profit and not give it back. What a knob.
So
@BradHazzard
called the anti-mask idiots in Bondi "those Greenies in Bondi". Incredible. They were not Greenies, Brad they were very likely anti-covid LNP supporters. Don't try this it will not end well for you.
Cadbury's chocolate at my local Coles was put up to $6 from $4 a couple of weeks ago. Today it's on special for $4 proudly announcing I'd save $2.
They've got to be fucking taking the piss.
Hey Journo's. Are you really gonna let Morrison do a daily press conference and dictate what questions he will be asked? Don't turn up if he won't answer questions about Tudge, Porter or anything else he doesn't want to talk about.
Make no mistake. The No campaign from the Murdoch media has nothing to do with Indigenous rights or equality. It's a campaign to try to ensure Labor has an embarrassing loss to be exploited until the next election to ensure a one term Gov. It is an undermining of democracy.
So when
@KKeneally
addresses the Press Club on Government integrity the ABC decides that a repeat of Call the Midwife is a better option to show on TV. FFS what has happened to you
@abcnews
. Disgraceful
The lawyer in me. We pay tax (money) to the Government to provide infrastructure and services. Does the Government hold that money in trust? When they use that trust money fraudulently (and I'm talking about sports rorts and carpark rorts) can we sue them for breach of trust?
No Sam Maiden. Lower wages growth was not an ALP allegation of an unspoken policy of the LNP. Matthias Corman actually said it was policy some years ago
#thedrum
.
So given, it appears the Premiers and the AMA were taken by surprise by Morrison's late night AZ announcement, are we seeing a desperate PM making vaccine policy on the run and without consultation?
@RonniSalt
Things Lidia didn't do
1. Rape anyone
2. Continue a relationship for six years with a dodgy dude
3. Screw a dude who was married, had a kid with them and now has a column in the Murdoch press.
4. Charge taxpayers money for internet to run their Christian business
There's more..
Scott Morrison says he'll talk to his Chinese counterpart early in 2021. So after he goes on holidays. I wonder what Australia's exporters think of this.
Why would the ADF announce that a Chinese ship lasered a plane? What purpose does it serve? It does nothing to assist them in defending our borders but it did give the PM a talking point. Mmmmm
Morrison saying that voting ALP means you'll also get Greens (you won't) completely disrgards that voting for him means you get a National Party deputy PM. We've all seen how devastatingly bad that is.
Dutton's comments on Today saying sarcastically that Labor always seems to inherit problems epitomises the fact the he and the current members of the LNP will never be fit to Govern.
Let's face it AZ is half the price of Pfizer. That is why the Government didn't do a deal with Pfizer last year. Purely for budgetary reasons and their belief one type of vaccine would suffice. All this despite warnings from just about everyone. Abject failure.
I really don't like denigrating a women its not my bag but I think Jenny is every bit if a grifter as Psycomo. She has enjoyed the trappings of his office but has done nothing. Not one word in support of a charity or women's issues (which i guess she could hardly do....
Voters in Fadden. Caldwell is a Pentacostal the same as Roberts. Same ideology and grifting that forced Roberts to resign. This so-called Christian accidentally dressed in a pirate suit and had a drink in a swingers club. That's pretty much all you need to know.
Vote for Bee
If Morrison had any leadership abilities or power within his party he would have immediately stood Porter and Reynolds down, investigated Brittany Higgin's assault, expelled Laming from the party and be actively finding out who had sex workers inside PH and deal with them.
Went to a mate's funeral today. 46 yrs and camcer. Bit of a triggering day given its sixteen months since the boy hanged himself. See you all tomorrow when I will continue to fight the good fight.
@sophieelsworth
Catch up Sophie. We in Tweed Heads and other regional areas now have to wear masks in the shops. Four square metre rule also applies as does sitting while having a beer. If Gladys had have followed Victoria's example this would not have happened.
So Dutton will happily go on an all expenses paid (by the Zionist Lobby) trip to Israel but I'll bet he won't attend the Garma Festival.
Not a leader's bootlace.
So I'm heading that
@ScottMorrisonMP
was missing for six days because getting hair plugs was more important than running the Coubtry during a pandemic. Apparently he wants to hold a comb.
ABC News breakfast having the obligatory coffee shop owners on discussing the minimum wage. Two permanent staff and two casuals which means they'll probably have to fork out an extra hundred and fifty odd bucks a week which has ruined their plans to have a baby. FMD what nonsense
Morning all. Scott Morrison seems to confuse health advice with electoral advice. Every announcement is not based on the health or well-being of the community. Its based on whether it will deliver him votes.
Littleproud: "Nuclear energy performs at a higher heat so that would benefit manufacturers".
WHAT?
Does this clown even know what he's talking about? Is he proposing smelting aluminium inside a nuclear reactor?
#Insiders
In the 1960's we voted overwhelmingly to give Aborigunal people the vote. When Kathy Freeman held the Aboriginal flag with the Australian flag she had iverwhelming support from Australians. What the fuck has happened to us?
Given half the LNP have flown to England for a bullshit conference their criticism of Albo fly to Countries in our national interest seems rather hollow.
Albo like any property owner is entitled to sell it. He gave this rooster 90 days notice when the requirement is only 21 Days. This bloke also saved tens of thousands of dollars in rent and he runs to the Daily Telegraph proving no good dead goes unpunished.
Dutton will go down in history as the bloke who wrecked The Voice and indigenous reconciliation. He will also never be PM. Once the Voice vote is over the LNP will look at his polling and it will be all over for this creep.
I first met and worked with Ed in the nineties. One of the most intelligent and integral blokes I've ever met. I'll take him over that potato brained Dutton anytime.
Labor Minister Ed Husic says people should be able to express their concern for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza without fear of being “professionally blacklisted”. In response, Opposition leader Peter Dutton says Husic's comments are "ill-considered" and go “too far”.
"They want to inflict a political loss on the Prime Minister."
Dan Bourchier on the Opposition's call for constitutional recognition for Indigenous Australians without a Voice

#auspol
Good morning all. Just wondering would Scott Morrison have the temerity to dissolve Patliament on Wednesday rendering it impossible for Albo to do his budget reply speech? It would be the ultimate move that the member no longer be heard.
Dai Lei on Afternoon Briefing saying that Lucas Heights generates so much energy it should be integrated into the electricity grid. She also says gas is clean energy.
No fucking idea. Just a Liberal in independent sheep's clothing.
Morning all. Paul Murray has called on his audience to vote LNP because his show and SkyNews in general would be in danger if Labor get it. I'm looking forward to a massive Labor victory even more so now.
#AlboForPM
i want to thank
@PeterDutton_MP
for flying across the country to spend 40 mins at my birthday party, costing taxpayers $6k.
oh hang on! that was for gina. not me.
everything he said is a lie. dutton has adopted trump's playbook: lie & accuse everyone else of your biggest flaws.
Peter Dutton asking why Albo won't release the Voice legislation is the same as arguing why legislation wasn't released before the Constitution was drafted. He thinks Australians are idiots
We are going to need an entirely new Government if we are to repair the damage in our relationship with France and the EU. This one will never be trusted again.
Morning all. The gas lead recovery of the former LNP Government has turned out to be the biggest policy failure of their term. Businesses potentially going to the wall and power prices set to rise. They should never govern again and nobody should forget this economic vandalism.
Right wing media: "Governments aren't doing enough to help with cost of living"
Steven Miles: "we're giving everyone in Qld $1000 off their electricity bill"
Right wing media: Government announced cash splash hoping to garner votes".
Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
Nerves get to Peter Dutton who runs off from journos after being grilling for still having no 2030 Climate target or an energy policy.
Journo asks if public will see anything “by the end of the month?”
Dutton “We’ll…we’ll make announcements…uhhh…when we…uhh…”🤦♂️💥🚂
We have lowest unemployment and the lowest rate of payrises for years. So inflation has only one cause. Companies are taking excessive profits. So instead of hitting mortgage holders how about the various Governments hit the companies. Isn't that what should always have happened?
Can't wait for Morrison to announce a Federal Government flood relief package. You know. A package that doesn't actually provide any money for flood relief. Should be funny.
So
@AngusTaylorMP
lied about the reason Tomago shut down. There was plenty of supply but the price spiked. A spike that could have been resolved if Snowy Hrydo fired up the Colongra gas plant on the Central Coast which currently runs at less than 1%. So why build this $600m....
Libs saying the Labor nuclear memes are childish. I think they're pretty funny and perfect for mocking such a juvenile announcement. If your announcement is a joke you should expect jokes and sarcasm in reply.
News from me (not good). Last week I was diagnosed with motor neurons disease. It's affected my walking and my right arm. I'm still mobile with the aid of a walking stick and can still drive atm but am unable to work.
Anyway fuck Trump and fuck motor neurons. As you were.
