Real evidence from my workplace which I'm not allowed to reveal.If it's real evidence based on actual data, it will be in the public domain - so post it.
Rachel Withers has the number of these Coalition gas whores inciting cooker murderers.
Cooking with gas
Is there anything that can stop the Coalition from encouraging conspiracy theories and misinformation?www.themonthly.com.au
High on their own supply
It has never been more apparent that the Coalition works directly for the gas companieswww.themonthly.com.au

Many thefts, 90% are going unreported and no punishment.
I agree. I don't know.Which just proves that the royalty system is broken and should be updated to reflect higher prices. I assume the legislation was engaged whilst prices were at a much lower level.
They don't need to reinvent the wheel (the Norwegians haven't forced through this type of legislation whereby they are trying to force through cost + margin, they have just taxed profits throughout at higher levels).
Why do Bowen and Albo think that the best route is going down a route that no other western country has gone down? The policy is more akin to what they do in countries like Venezuela (they are going well right).
Why not just take a lot of the benefits of schemes like they have in Norway to better share the wealth from higher energy prices.
Well, I'm guessing you're saying that it doesn't get to the police by what you're saying above.Might stop in there.
People seem to be getting upset with what I'm saying.
But yes, the majority of crimes committed that I have to deal with, through business, gets no treatment by authorities.
If it does, the majority are let go through to the keeper.
No I'm not talking $100,000 plus but still hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars worth of crime at a time.
I do laugh when I read the papers and either the headline or close to the top of the story they say “facing up xxxxx years in prison” or “ the maximum term for this crime is xxx years jail”. While technically both statements ,or variants of, might be true, how often do those found guilty ever get anywhere near that?Well, I'm guessing you're saying that it doesn't get to the police by what you're saying above.
I have very, very close family members who work in multiple parts of the justice system.
I can categorically say, that the offenders that are brought to them, get a punishment. The catching and prosecuting doesn't seem to be too hard.
What is hard, is the fact that the actual penalties are *smile* weak and are focussed at treating the poor helpless victim (aka the offender). There is an
overwhelming number of cases - particularly juvenile offending - where the offender gets less than a slap on the wrists and released back into the community.
One instance where an offender had repeated the same crime nearly 20 times, before they were given a custodial sentence.
There's also the parole side of ledger, where the offenders are given waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much leniency and "support"
to meet their obligations. Like Bunnerz, I can't speak to it in detail here, as I would likely get family members displined (even though the info
couldn't identify an individual specifically). On top of that, we have a section of the community, which have their own tribunal where if they
lapse in terms of obligations, they receive a different treatment than the rest of the community.
I've said elsewhere in this thread or otherwise, I am usually biased towards the centre and lean a little left in my politics. But the stuff I see in
this space, has me questioning why I don't move firmly to the right (of course the idiots in the hard right such as white supremicists and
conspiracy theorists push me away from that side of politics too!). We are far too lenient on crime in Australia.
Interesting I worked with a guy who’s sister was shot with a gun by her partner and the guy involved (with a history of violence) gets a relative slap on the wrist and not charged with anything serious. The argument is something about not knowing the gun was loaded. Took them years and a large personal cost to get the law changed.Well, I'm guessing you're saying that it doesn't get to the police by what you're saying above.

Yes, it's good to see Australia being more diplomatic in regards to it's dealings with not just China, but all of the Asia Pacific.It is hard to not be impressed with Penny Wong as foreign Minister
It is so good to have our top diplomat understanding what is required to build rapport and steer a course between values and pragmatism in dealing with China in particular.
Anyone who has had anything to do with China (and I am sure there are many on this site) know that bluster and shaming never works with China.
The language she uses and the calm measured way she conducts herself is exactly what is needed.
Incredibly impressive imo.
Not sure where to find it but the footage of Scott Morrison giving evidence at the Robodebt Royal Commission is tremendously entertaining.
Not sure entertaining is the right word. Embarrassing and shocking are the words I would use but I know what you mean.Not sure where to find it but the footage of Scott Morrison giving evidence at the Robodebt Royal Commission is tremendously entertaining.
