For the funniest tragedy of the century watch the The Killing Season on their ABC at 8.30 pm.

Unfortunately the making of it cost the Australian taxpayer dearly. Six years of spending, 50 years to pay it back.

It will be interesting to observe how the Labor Party will fair from the outcome.

I am a bit suspicious about the ABC behind it......The ABC may have a hidden agenda.
 
Costello has something to add to the debate:-

Remember that when Rudd was elected he was, he claimed, an economic conservative. Yet in 2009 the government increased spending by nearly 13 per cent, an increase that had no precedent in modern economic management except for the height of the Whitlam mania.

Rudd said he did it to “save” Australia. Over two years the Rudd government lifted spending as a proportion of the economy by three full percentage points. We have never balanced a Budget since. It is still at that level today.

I watched the ABC "KILLING SEASON" and as far as I am concerned, this first episode was all about the justification of Rudd's extravaganza of GFC spending on useless school halls and pink bats.

It gives me the impression the ABC are trying to bolster up Labor economic credentials which were a disaster in 2008/2009

I hope the next episode improves.

The ABC hidden agenda is being exposed.

A couple of brief lines on the Tampa disaster.....A short word on how Kevin07 "TRIED"to turn back the boats.

Not a word about the 50,000 he let into the country which cost the tax payer over $11 billion and still counting with some 80% of those bludgers still on welfare and it all happened in the GFC.

Not a word about the $1 billion a week interest bill we are still paying on the money he borrowed.

Combet mentioned about the lives lost with the rushed through pink bat disaster but no mention of the 200 + house lost by fire as a result of Rudd's hare brain scheme.....Not a word about the compensation which the tax payer has to fund for those lost lives and houses.

Yes, the ABC in its usual manner has let Labor off the hook.

Janet Albrechtsen sums up the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd era very nicely and Bill Shorten is out of the same mold.

Rudd, Gillard and Labor were solely focused on how to get power and how to keep it. Anthony Albanese may be right that the truly toxic personal hatreds of the Rudd-Gillard years are over.

But that misses the point of Labor’s troubles. That Bill Shorten leads Labor points to the party’s failure during and after those dismal years. Shorten has not overseen any real policy review of Labor’s record election loss in 2013.

The same political sin of hubris explains Shorten’s defining moment as Opposition Leader. In March this year, ABC radio’s Jon Faine asked Shorten what he believed in. Shorten has had ample time to prepare for this simple question. He’s been in politics since 2007, was a minister and has been Opposition Leader since September 2013. Yet all he could muster was a discombobulating piece of nothingness. “Everybody is somebody,” Shorten told Faine.

It harked back to that other pivotal moment in Shorten’s political career. Sky’s David Speers is an unflappable kind of guy. Yet even he looked bewildered when he asked Shorten whether he agreed with the position of Gillard about an issue of the day in April 2012. Shorten said: “I haven’t seen what she’s said, but let me say I support what she said.” Even by lowly political standards, it was so intellectually vacant it made headlines overseas.
 
Wake up Ms.Palaszczuk and stand the Police Minister Jo-Anne Miller while she is under investigation by the CCC for contacting key witness in the Rick Williams corruption scandal.....She telephoned McLean the next day he blew the whistle on Williams.

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/...williams-scandal/story-fntuy59x-1227391960834

It is understood an initial assessment of the allegations against Mr Williams identified areas that warranted further inquiry.

It is believed other potential witnesses have come *forward with information about the MP.

Meanwhile, Mr Mc*Lean told the CCC officers that he had felt “uncomfortable” about the timing of Ms Miller’s call, which was made on the morning his allegations against Mr Williams were revealed.

I wonder what a royal commission would find if it investigated the if the LNP had been approaching these "witnesses". After three years of overtly dodgey governance from the last mob, I can't see them changes horses mid stream. I see the latest revelation involves granting of development licences while in caretaker mode, to none other effectively than their individual selves :rolleyes:
 
Opposition immigration spokesman Richard Marles believes that refusal leaves the door “wide open” to the idea the government is handing wads of taxpayers’ cash to smugglers.

Is that like the $20 bn , and still counting, that the last Labor government cost taxpayers and the $28bn that it will cost if Labor gets another 4 years in power (and goes back to their old system).

Shhhhh dutchie, we are not supposed to talk about that neither does the ABC, Insiders, QandA, GETUP, FACT CHECK, THE 7.30 REPORT, Media reoprt and LATELINE.....These are all controlled by the Green/Labor socialist left known as the Fabain society.
Control the media and you have control of the people.

Yes, doesn't 24 hours make a difference.

I heard on the radio that during Monday's question time, the ALP were all over the Libs about payments in Indo to people smugglers. Today, not a peep.
 
Bizarre union video...


'Bizarre' union video pulled from YouTube​


One of the country's biggest unions has been forced to pull a video off YouTube, after social media expressed shock and dismay over its suggestion that union members should reassert their "values" in the ALP over same-sex people, environmentalists and other members.

The South Australian branch of United Voice originally posted the clip in late May but removed it on Friday afternoon, with the national office quickly distancing itself from the production.

On Twitter, people variously described it as "strange," bizarre", "awful" and with "shades of White Australia Policy".

United Voice represents about 120,000 workers in the hospitality, health care and aged care industries. It is generally seen as one of the more progressive unions - backing Labor deputy leader Tanya Plibersek's recent call for a binding vote on same-sex marriage.

On Friday afternoon, United Voice national president Jo-anne Schofield distanced the national office from the clip.

"The video has been withdrawn by the South Australian branch. I endorse this decision," she said in a statement.

It looks as though Labor, are descending into their normal state of confusion again.

For the last 8 years, they have been going on about 'middle class' welfare, now the issues are being addressed they oppose them.:D

The middle class don't trust them and the rest don't believe them.

I think they are wedging themselves, between a rock and a hard place, but they obviously enjoy being there.
