I see the LNP has quietly slipped Christian "Tobias Funke" Porter and Andrew Laming back into parliament under the convenient distraction of yesterdays budget announcement. But while Laming is clearly a slimy character, its Christian Porter's return which really gets in my grill.
The accusations against him are not only heinous, but IMO totally credible, and he'd be up on criminal charges if NSW police hadn't acted so gutlessly by delaying taking the victims statement.
But the only test we have for this is the defamation proceedings he's bringing against the ABC. The fact his legal team have succeeded in putting a temporary suppression on the ABC's filed defence doesn't come across as the actions of an innocent man who's eager to clear his name in court. More like someone who wants to hide further evidence of his buggering ways from coming to light.

Just thinking, puts a new slant on the Australian bozo lingo term "Well I'll be buggered."
No thanks !!!

So Laming was again voted as the chair of the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training. Voted by the same LNP females who made a token media appearance telling everyone how they disgusted they were in him. I guess a 2 hour online "Empathy" training session is enough to make everything good again.
Actually, I wonder if Laming would be able to pass the Working with Children Check with his history. As the Chair of the Education committee, you'd expect he would have to.....

Morrison finally turned up on the ABC's 7.30 Report. Absolutely grilled alive by Leigh Sales.

Scott ‘we must live alongside the virus' Morrison taking credit for Australia's efforts in keeping Covid contained always makes me laugh.
If he'd had his way instead of the Premiers taking control of their states, things would have been very different here.

Yeh, there's nothing to say we wouldn't be in a worse position if the feds controlled quarantine, given their poor perfomance in the vaccine rollout.
Has a national quarantine approach made any ground?
just highlighting the Liberals constant dishonesty, but clearly honesty isnt considered a big issue for anyone who would vote for the current government.
I am "surprised" that all those that rail against the supposed subsidies renewable energys received are not then railing against the government intervention the energy market with a $600m subsidy for a polluting fossil fuel.
I chuckled that the "Market Forces" the Libs believe will solve the world's problems, refused to touch their new gas fired plant because it makes no sense.
As a letter in The Age said this morning - don't worry, it will never be built. They made the announcement and they will do their usual and not deliver.

I don't think political parties belong in local Governments. The Age report about Anab Mohamd South Yarra is horrible reading and if factual she must be sacked. This is a true test for the Greens. Hate speech like that shouldn’t be accepted by the Greens otherwise they will be the biggest hypocrites in the political system.
