Talking Politics

[TT33]

I have a question for those who vote for the LNP. Would you accept the same behaviour from a Labour Govt. as we are experiencing from the present Liberal Govt. I bet I know what the answer will be.
To be quite honest I know I wouldn't.
I detest what our Government has become, the Lying, rorting, manipulation of policy to advantage mates, cheating the system, ripping off the disadvantaged, the pork barreling, ( the pork would be mammoth sized).

Frankly I'm really not fussed which party is in Government. What I want most of all is a Govt. that does what's best for Australia & Australians, NOT what's best for the pollies themselves & their fat cat mates.

Is that too much to ask.

Maybe it is.

Nats bush telegraph in Canavan meltdown

The party’s WhatsApp group issued an ultimatum to the rogue senator - to no avail.

That climate sceptic rogue from Rockhampton, Queensland Liberal National senator Matt Canavan, fired up social media with an attention-grabbing post asking “Does anyone know whether the Taliban will sign up to net zero?”


A vote for the Libs/Nats is a vote for quality people like Matt Canavan.

I suspect many LNP voters have this thread on ignore.

Like to hear Morrison's reason for this.

Indeed, and with such secrecy, I read that earlier and apparently the WA government didn't know.

Typical Morrison obfuscation tactic of scattering information between covid & Afghanistan to scramble the messaging during their press conferences. Making it difficult for the press & listeners to follow.
One minute of covid, one minute of Afghanistan..rinse repeat.
*smile* assholes.

Ruby Princess report by the Commonwealth's Inspector-General of Biosecurity has been released. Pretty much what we all thought. Fed *smile* up but twisted by the to blame the states.

Report finds federal government failings likely contributed to Ruby Princess COVID-19 disaster

A scathing audit has exposed further errors when the virus-plagued ship returned to Sydney last March and passengers were allowed to disembark.

Has anyone read up about ICook foods and SlugGate?

After watching the interviews today I think Brett Sutton among others are in huge strife. It will become a huge story as the year progresses.

This explains a snippet of what happened today.

Inquiry hears claims of council bullying and doctoring of slug photo

The chair of a parliamentary inquiry into the closure of a Melbourne caterer says it has become clear a photo of a slug in a kitchen had been altered.

It’s disgusting what’s happened with iCook foods.
I fear though that nothing will come of the investigation with convenient memory losses, scapegoats and further cover ups to happen. I hope not and it’s going to be a fully open and public investigation

How could anyone, even someone who would never vote for anyone but the Libs, approve of the job Morrison is doing as PM??

Well Albo has never been PM so it's really a vote for the unknown. It would be good to see a preferred PM poll putting Morrison, Abbott and Turnbull up against each other.

so when given the choice between someone we know is a terrible PM, or an unknown people choice the terrible PM?
Bizarre.

Labor needs a stronger leader

 

[TT33]

Labor needs a stronger leader

That should read "Australia Needs a strong Leader"

 

[MB78]

If Albo and Michael O’Brien want to get elected they need to both have a platform of corruption. For example increase by 5 times the funding of IBAC. This would be revenue positive as it will weed out so many corrupt practices that are are both levels of Government.

I doubt that they will do it, though as they are all too comfortable and want to pull the same levers if they were in Government.
