Did this come out before or after Higgins?
After would be suspicious.

Good question, but I'm not sure what it is...
We need a recreated timeline of events to see how this all fits together.
What a shamozzle.

How dumb are we?
This was one of the reasons why The Voice failed. We did not trust the activist High Court.

WHAT the rest of my post will have me banned something far worse that the Good Cap't could deliver.
Politically incorrect, is there a leaky boat available to send said scum bag off shore

We have deported a lot of crims that have completed their sentences (ask the Kiwis).
I don't see what the difference is here.
The govt should have the option of rescinding citizenships in cases of criminal behaviour and throwing people out of the country.
We don't need people like him here.

This is a good start, now all we need is it to cover politicians as well.
"Dodgy deals, done dirt cheap", sounds like it should start from the top down.
Australia, roll up, roll up, the less you do the more you get, maybe there is a new national anthem in there somewhere.

Tax advisers will have to dob in their colleagues’ wrongdoing or potentially face jail time, while big-four executives will be banned from membership of the regulating Tax Practitioner Board in a major overhaul of the system that enabled the PwC tax leak scandal.
The Greens have secured a bundle of amendments to treasury laws to go before the Senate on Wednesday to cast greater transparency over the dealings of major accounting firms following the misuse of confidential government information to help clients avoid paying taxes.

Dob in a dodgy tax adviser or face jail: New laws to stop another PwC scandal
The Greens have also secured an amendment for “kicking the foxes out of the hen house” for transparency at the Tax Practitioner Board.

Maybe we can get something even simpler?? How about the government stops paying the big 4 billions $$$ for 'advice' and instead listens to the +16 million voters? Would that work?This is a good start, now all we need is it to cover politicians as well.

What a crock of sh*t
I'd bet the big 4 advised the politicians on this 'whistleblower' law and are now advising their partners on how to get around it.

No now we are inclusive, they aren't criminals they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and the only reason they are criminals is someone saw them there, so basically they are a victim of circumstances.
The same as our unemployed shouldn't have to go and pick fruit, because it is hard work and doesn't pay much and also they don't want to go bush so why should they.
But it is o.k to import South Sea Islanders to do it, because they aren't like us and it isn't like Nike or something, where they use slave labour.
We are a strange country, full of strange rich people, trying to make themselves out to be caring. The voice is a great example IMO.

The Voice showed how far removed the Lefty elites are away from the battlers who decided that whinging about dispossession doesn't cu t it if you can't afford to pay the rent .

Way too many people sitting on their balconies, overlooking Sydney harbour, the Yarra, or the ocean, with way too much say and no actual skin in the game.
Affluence breeds indulgence and smugness, Australia is smothering in it IMO.

Activist High Court? FFS the High Court made a judgment based on law, the issue is governance or lack of basically Dutton is a fu(kwitt either used the wrong legislation or the Coalition left to many holes in the legislation used by Dutton take your pick another mess Albanese will have to fix up.
BTW the High Court determined our right to free speech, you realize that can be reversed!!!

Nah the Voice showed how much Australians don't like Aboriginals and refuse to deal with the issues rather winge about how much money is paid rather than who, why and how.
Meanwhile we have a 3rd world population living right here in Australia.

Absolutely and they are black and white.
I have a mate who is actually in Wiluna at the moment, how many do you want to take in, he can bring them down? Aboriginals or whites, both are available for help.
I have a small unit so can't help out.
The globalist liberal agenda has been getting crazy lately. No middle-class/working-class Australians want the levels of immigration we have been getting in the 21st century. We have foreign workers shoved in our throats to support the lifestyles of selfish and greedy upper class.
Everyone wants Australia and other developed nations to be more diverse. What about India? Can we please make India more diverse. They need to have at least 10% Africans and 10% Europeans.

Yes how many African, Iranian, or any refugees do China or Japan take, I guess that is one of those questions that is out of bounds.
No country should "take" refugees unless they have a significant value add to their society

My view it showed how much Australians have lost confidence in government and aren't going to give them additional powers over any matter.
Indeed I think at this point most would be thinking more that the federal government ought be severely reined in until such time as it can sort out the messes it's already made with everything from education to energy to housing.
Get the existing things sorted before taking on anything new.
Politicians have an arrogance with our money and lack of accountability. How long till the public start holding them personally to account I wonder?My view it showed how much Australians have lost confidence in government and aren't going to give them additional powers over any matter.

Seems to be starting in other countries and we saw snippets here during covid lockdowns.

Politicians really are dumb.
In this day and age, when every utterance you make is recorded and readily acessible at a later time, you need to be careful what you say.
Since Jim Chalmers became treasurer after the statement below, we have had 10 rate increases, and inflation has been higher than the inflation rate that he bagged the previous government.
Thats not to remove blame from the previous government, but at some point you cease to get away with blaming hte previous government.
That time is fast approaching, or may have even passed.
