Indeed, what have they got to hide?

The Morrison government had legislation to create a federal anti-corruption body ready before the Covid-19 pandemic but has still failed to introduce it to parliament.


Talking points from the prime minister’s office, released on Thursday, instruct Coalition MPs to recommit to create a Commonwealth Integrity Commission and to promise it will come “as soon as possible” after Covid-19 recovery efforts.

Eric Abetz sums up the Liberal party. Who else would put up with this crap?


https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/oct/16/eric-abetz-refuses-to-apologise-for-demanding-chinese-australians-denounce-communist-party



A conservative Australian senator has refused to apologise after he caused a storm of outrage by demanding three Chinese-Australians publicly and unconditionally condemn “the Chinese Communist party dictatorship”.


With the witnesses before a Senate inquiry denouncing the “McCarthyist” tactics, and with the opposition Labor party likening it to a loyalty test based on ethnicity, the veteran Tasmanian senator Eric Abetz insisted his questioning had “nothing to do with race and everything to do with values”.

Cant see an issue with it personally

[Diocletian]

McCarthy was right....

Gotta love the spin from Morrison (or was it honesty?)


Gets stranded in Cairns and has to postpone National Cabinet until next week. His reaction: "That's ok, we had nothing to talk about anyway"


But The Libs are far too busy to set up a Federal Corruption committee.

I thought it was Dictator Dan with the chinese connections.

A Melbourne man charged with preparing an act of foreign interference within Australia is still a fee-paying member of the Liberal Party.


Di Sanh Duong, president of the Oceania Federation of Chinese Organisations and deputy chairman of the ­Museum of Chinese Australian History in Melbourne, on Thursday became the first person charged under Australia's landmark foreign interference laws.

You compare a lnp member over a 35k cheque  to a man who has disgraced himself in all facets of leadership during his tenure ultimately resulting in death.

Move along. No wonder posters don’t post on this topic anymore.

I think Dan Andrews is going to win the next election in a canter.

Morrison is a dead man walking.


https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/daniel-andrews-and-scott-morrison-a-study-in-contrasts-20201125-p56hwj.html


Morrison refuses to hold anyone accountable for anything. Robodebt, the Western Sydney Airport land scam, the aged care disasters, the forged documents about the Sydney lord mayor’s travel budget, water allocations and other accumulating scandals – not too strong a word - makes the Prime Minister not just look weak but it unsettles the entire government. Stuart Robert, Alan Tudge, Angus Taylor, Paul Fletcher, Michaelia Cash, Richard Colbeck... A government with so many walking wounded is fundamentally weakened.

[Francois Jackson]

is that like when you said shorten was a dead set certainty? or when scomo should walk for going to hawaii, and andrews shouldnt?

your assumptions over the years are amusing to say the least.
