I seem to have developed a medical condition, not sure of the name of it. When Scott Morrison appears on the t.v. I automatically start swearing .... hope there is a cure ?
Tony Burke calling out Dutton and he doesn't like it. Speaker scrambling to protect Dutton as usual. Like Tony, I have had a gutful of Peter Duttons duplicitous responses too.

I hope ABC FOUR CORNERS is doing a program on Morrison/Royal Commission into ROBO-DEBT. The facts need to be widely known and understood. Too much damage was done to people who had done nothing wrong. ARE YOU LISTNENING ITA?

Albo making a good point re Morrisons Gvmnt. handling of folks who made small errors re Centrelink Robodebt driven to suicide & despair - LNP make horrendous mistake with taxpayers money and it's "move along, nothing to see here".
Pauline Hanson asking “where has the money gone that went to aboriginals” - “if we hadn’t taken the children away they wouldn’t have survived” -THEY DID FOR 60,000 years. White folks raped and murdered them with impunity -HANSON IS AN IGNORANT DISGRACE i.m.o.

Can’t fault this ladys’ reasoning on any of her points ….let’s face it, does anyone really think Megsy would have hooked up with Harry if he was a plumber..Not bright, relatively inexperienced sexually ( at least by comparison to Meg) and so sorry for himself for losing Diana ?

Caller on radio, self described as a dedicated Christian said no Indian born Australian citizens should be allowed back in “they’re not white you know” she said before being cut off. Plenty of them out there and they vote. Explains the dire state of integrity in Australia

Watching Dutton spew bile on Albanese re politicising Robodebt. Is he really as vile as he seems….. or just completely lacking in intelligence/integrity ???
Prosecutor tells Senate Estimates they are considering dropping charges against ATO whistleblower Richard Boyle This man is a hero in my estimation. He risked everything to tell THE TRUTH. He and his family have been put through hell & it’s just not right

TIP of the day - Buy The Saturday Paper, read every article, have a little cry for what Morrison did (or failed to do) over 3 terms to destroy the fabric of our Democracy -it really is that bad & we have only scraped the surface. Mark Dreyfus has a huge task but he’s good
Barnaby commits adultery with a staffer and he’s free and clear…. Morrison in collusion with the Governor General becomes- co-Minister without their knowledge just walks away …. Gladys pays the price ……The “boys-club” is alive and well then ??

I REALLY think Dr Norman Swan is the person to listen to with regard to this Pandemic… not Morrison from marketing and his team of incompetents ?

So many people grow up in appalling circumstances and turn out, after a lot of effort, as good decent people. The poor Queen having to deal with all this mans nonsense…
While accepting free meals, subsidised bar, chauffeur driven car, accomodation /flights and probably more I am not aware of ! Public really needs to stop the snouts in the trough of our politicians ….I fear it is obscene.
Linda Reynolds has suggested a co-payment should be made by those receiving NDIS services. How very typical of an LNP politician to want to further punish those who have suffered misfortune and disability.

I do wish someone could calculate how much revenue would have been raised by Gillard government mining tax if LNP & Greens hadn't trashed it. Governing needs to stop being a "game for the boys" to win - it's a bloody disaster and KEEP YOUR RELIGION OUT OF IT !

Let me just say that -having watched entire Royal Commission evidence I don’t know how Scott Morrison lives with himself. Commissioner made it clear Morrison was advised from beginning scheme was illegal. RIP all those that suicided over a debt they probably didn’t owe. SHAMEFUL

Good to see Speaker of the House removing Deputy Speaker after several warnings …. Citizens of Australia are paying for a Question Time and need it to be orderly. LNP setting up the gallery to intrude on proceedings …. Are they just an unworthy rabble ??

Kevin Rudd has written a letter in response to a criticism of his position on climate change. I support him. I too recall the Green Senators siding with Abbott to kill effective carbon pricing in 2009. Someone should calculate how much revenue could have been accrued ??

Good news of the day - I understand that there is a move to ban Dorothy Dixers and Mobile Phones from Question Time. Both are disrespectful of taxpayers i.m.o. AND not conducive to informing the public of the truth or facts on many issues.

Regarding ROBODEBT - Morrison is the person I want to be brought to account for the whole disaster. To see him holidaying overseas and still collecting the $$$ just makes me angry …. And ashamed how it could be possible in our Democracy.
