I support exposing lies, scams, corruption & injustice and promoting causes which are beneficial to humanity. Our future depends on it. Knowledge is power!
The Government plans to send Australia deeper into recession. A commitment to #80aDay is sensible economics because people on low incomes inject it back into the economy
So let me get this one straight.
We (rightly) award a rape survivor & her #letherspeak campaign our highest gong. PM gets photo op, sings praises, makes speech. Then when actual rape/s occur on his watch he tries to bury them. What’s the point of him

February 20, 1913: Home Affairs Minister King O'Malley drove the first peg for Canberra, the new national capital. Parliament moved to Canberra from Melbourne in 1927.

Seventy-five of News Ltd’s journalists wrote to Murdoch, complaining about his papers political bias and describing their paper as ''a propaganda sheet''. That was in 75 - what’s changed?
The pompous NewsCorp mouthpiece Paul Kelly concedes that Morrison’s handling of the rape allegation is “a significant political liability”.
When the key Murdoch strategist cannot bring himself to defend Morrison you know he is in trouble!

Given that all the media companies’ financial deals with Google have been the consequence of the Government’s media bargaining code, the public are entitled to know precisely how much is being paid. Look forward to full disclosure.
Have we noticed the role of the Dept of Finance - the HR dept of Parliament House - in the rape cover up?
Steam cleaning couches, "investigating" breaches, telling off security guards.
Mathias Cormann was the responsible minister then.
Perhaps the
Really concerning watching middle class men arguing about how much poor people ought to be given to feed, cloth & house themselves. I've managed to survive the past 10 years but, I suspect, not without long term impacts on my health. That will cost in the long run.
There isn't a good theory of housing supply. Researchers usually rely on a bunch of ad hoc assumptions.
This is my attempt at a coherent dynamic theory of housing supply.
Is shows why developers do not behave as assumed by static supply-demand logic.
Why “battle” over Wyangala - a $2.1b project, that will create a 4 year man-made drought and have no impact on water allocations or drought resilience in the long term.
Quite apart from the fact that Brittany Higgins told us that Yaron Finkelstein had contacted after the 4Corners ep, and she had a text telling her Morrison’s CoS also knew, there are good reasons to be sceptical of PMO’s “we just thought it was a security beach” story:
Two of Morrison’s top advisers – Kunkel and Finkelstein – knew of the security breach and the termination that first following day. The idea they didn’t know of the rape is bullshit of the highest order. https://smh.com.au/politics/federal/morrison-must-be-held-accountable-for-inaction-that-left-women-vulnerable-20210218-p573s0.html…
Umm, I would have thought job of NSW Police Commissioner is to focus on keeping organised crime out of all of NSW itself, not just NRL.
Conflicts of interest in whole idea, stupendous,
#BREAKING: Health Minister Greg Hunt says the first COVID-19 vaccines will be administered in Australia today – with the Prime Minister at the front of the line.
He’s been in Parliament for 13 years, a Cabinet Minister for 6 years and the Prime Minister for 2 years.
If only Scott Morrison was in a position to do something about this ‘culture problem.’
Brittany Higgins this week will make a police statement alleging rape. Of 15,000 complaints of sexual assault in a year only 3% resulted in conviction. Alleged perpetrator entitled to fair trial. But “justice” now also on trial.
I can’t follow Police Commissioner Mick Fuller’s extra curricula work moves. A week ago he resigned from the board of the Police Bank because of the demands of his $650k pa day job. Days later he has all the time in the world to reform the NRL. Can anyone help?
Collectively, Kunkel, Finkelstein & Gaetjens have been high level political staffers in just about every federal Liberal government (on and off) since 1997.
That's fucking 24 years of political adviser brethrenship.
All that experience should see them get to the bottom of it.

Workers inside Parliament have a right to be safe as does every worker. 1 year on and not one of the 55 recommendations of the Human Rights Commission Inquiry into sexual harassment at work have been implemented by this Government #insiders
"It is unacceptable to the Australian 'government' that an offshore giant media organisation should define what our citizens should see as news." - Paul Fletcher, Minister for Communications.

When Fiona Brown sacked the alleged rapist for a “security breach” she knew Ms Higgins had been half undressed & unconscious on the minister’s couch & that security had kept watch on her overnight. Did she not?
All very chummy in the world of the Prime Minister's men....
The call for fully independent investigations must be heeded.
Does Gaetjens ever think of recusing himself when he digs into the PMO?
Fun fact: Kunkel took over from Gaetjens as Morrison's COS back when Morrison was Treasurer in mid 2018. Gaetjens went from Morrison's COS to Treasury sec then PM&C sec. Now Morrison has announced Gaetjens is seeking to find out what PMO knew.
Sweet.
This comment about Scott Morrison's cosplay today, where he dresses up in Sharkies get-up to post a tribute video to a Daily Telegraph employee - is so sadly accurate it hurts.
