Excellent read. And the flawed logic used by Dep Comm Kylie Kilgour is extremely well analysed.

Unfortunately, the institution which didn't identify a conflict of interest of its Comm, also didn't identify any wrong doing by the #Robodebt6.

The NACC is a failed institution.

Australians are right to ask β€˜is this good enough?’ when it comes to the Nacc’s final robodebt report | A J Brown The anti-corruption watchdog’s long-awaited findings provide some answers, but raise even bigger questions about what exactly the body is for

Power protects power.

People have most of the power. It’s time we wake up and use it.

It would be naive to think this offensive homophobic bigot was accidentally pre-selected by the SA Liberals. This was no accident. Don’t forget Alex Antic is in charge.

Perhaps a more worrying for Australia that our oppression class is tethering themselves to the most racist dumb fucks in the country.

Moderators at PETER VAN ONSELEN's 'Daily Mail' happily printing comments calling for the death of Laura Tingle, currently stranded in Dubai. This one of the tamer ones. Their 'House Rules' are just for show.

Nice for them that they both get to essentially read their obituaries and find out how everyone is glad they are gone.

Usual practice match caveat, but I'm liking what I've seen from Melbourne. Ball movement much zippier, Windsor looks set for a terrific season, Lindsay & Langford exciting, and Van Rooyen might be about to go up a cog. Maybe Dees aren't as far away as some think. #afldeestigers

News story running that the LNP will not be releasing the much publicised election review from their disastrous last election.

Why you may ask?

Because it is so scathing about Dutton that he threatened to sue them if they release it.

Hanson issues partial apology for suggestion there are no 'good' Muslims The One Nation leader qualified her earlier remarks, which had been met with condemnation, while reiterating calls for tougher vetting processes for Muslim migrants.

White trash racist reminding everyone why they have never won a lower house seat in the 20 years she has been on this grift.

Well, glad they cleared that up; kicking a car in America is punishable by being tackled & immobilised by 6 masked men in the street, beaten in the head with a tear-gas cannister and then shot 10 times at point-blank range.
