watched Q & A last night and enjoyed Jim Molan being laughed out of the room, particularly when he said, "I don't rely on evidence", when quizzed about the fires and climate.

Have we ever had a more morally, ethically & financially corrupt government in our countrys history.

What these sh*t heads have forgotten is that they were elected to run Australia for the good of the country & its people, not for the good of themselves & their rich & powerful benefactors & mates.

It's way past time they were held to account for their actions.

Labour also must share much of the blame because of the p1ssweak effort they apply to being in opposition. It's time they grew some kahunas & applied the blow torch to Scumo & his cohorts.

Apologies for the crappy cropping, done on a laptop without a mouse and a big screen.

Haaarrrgh, oh my. Think I've just seen some of the best television ( apart from watching the Tigers winning flags ) that I've ever seen.
Was doing my usual channel surf through a beige miasma of crap when I hooked into the Trumpster giving his State of the Union address.
There's the old Trumpster spouting away about how he's saved the world ( well at least America ) from being *smile* n becoming brilliant n all his Republican arse kissin numpties are hopping up and down cheering n applauding every time the Trumpster farted. T'was truly amazing to see, but then the cameras kept showing the Democrats sitting in their seats n looking extremely constipated while poor old Fancy Nancy was sat directly behind the Trumpster's shoulder looking like she was chowing down on a huge plate of Trumpster nuggies :vomit :rotfl1. I only caught part of the show but it was seriously worthy of a lung rattling chortle n then I'm led to believe old Nancy fair cracked it n tore the old Trumpster's report into shreds.
Ahhhh, someone else's politics seriously laughable n enjoyable. Poor old numpties here in Oz are just way off the pace.

So the Liberal party refused to table the secretary of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinets report into the sports rort. Bridget McKenzie has resigned over the matter, so why won't they produce the report?
I reckon ScoMo's fingerprints are all-over the sports rort affair, and the Libs are desperate to keep his name out of it.

Scummo tried to defend the corruption by saying all recipients were eligible (forget worthy). Now we learn more than 40% of the rorts were for ineligible projects.

They are deadset liars, thieves, and criminals. They stole the election. They used taxpayers' money to buy votes. And don't tell me it's been done before. It's never been done on this scale, this targeted, this blatantly, ruthlessly, cynically, desperately wrongly.

*smile* traitors.

Just like everything else, each generation simply does it a bit bigger, smoother, better, more blatant then the last. Pollies have been practicing for a such long long time, it's virtually an art form.

I don't know how there can be generational improvement at lying, but there is., especially from so called christians like Abbott and Morrison.
The generational contempt for honest and transparent government is off the Richter scale too.

Politics is 90% about power, position, perks n pocket pissin. The other 10% is just the bones you have to throw the dogs to keep them from chewing on your arse.

The more ya practice at bull shittin the smoother ya get at it, eventually there's that much *smile* dribblin out ya don't even notice it runnin down your chin n staining your shirt.

Ah TM, you're just getting old and bitter. Getting to that age where the thought of changing the status quo just doesn't make sense because we only have a few more years left to worry about it, so why worry.

******* traitors.
Nah, Shorten and his muppet puppets lost it through their inability to read the voters as well as Morisson and his muppets. The Labs policies or rambled ideas were inexplicable. Shorten tried to pass on an understanding but was nothing more than a train wreck.

This funding is not a rewrite of the failings of the red brigade.

Furthermore, if the actions of the government were illegal, throw the book at them.

And now after getting caught with their hand in the till, they have gone from "all the projects were eligible" to "no project which received funding, under this sports grants program was assessed as ineligible at the time the decision to allocate funding was made".

A hypothetical question.

If I ask my young bloke whether he took any money from the cookie jar, and he says no, only to later confess that he did, but he used it to buy me a bottle of rum. Does that make it ok?
His motives may been the same, trying to win favour.

You must live in Queensland. Every other state and territory in the country voted for the ALP by a comfortable margin. Only Queensland, where all the papers are owned by Murdoch, voted for the Lying Nasty Parties.

Good idea, getting the book thrown at them. Maybe the AFP could conduct an investig - oh. Never mind.

Corrupt to the core. Another $420 million rort uncovered. Over a billion stolen from the public for Liberal/National Party propaganda now. It's indefensible. Anyone trying to is just blindly barracking for their team. #standbyscummo
