Sunday morning presser @ScottMorrisonMP on @abcnews said
"You ask me 'what is the evidence the govt's border protection policies work? - There have been no boats"

So, that would mean ZERO increases in Illegal Maritime Arrivals (IMAs) right?

Um... no Prime Moron is lying

Interesting tidbit... "William Willshire, who became notorious for his skill in “dispersing the natives”

Willshire was once defended by Sir John Downer.

Ancestor of 'nation-builders' @AlexanderDowner & @Georgina4Mayo

A fact they don't mention.
#auspol
news.com.au/national/polit…
In 1891 Willshire's men attacked sleeping Aborigines camped at Tempe Downs station. Two men died and their bodies were cremated. F. J. Gillen, Alice Springs sub-protector of Aborigines, investigated the reported episode & committed Willshire to Port Augusta for trial for murder.
As he was the first policeman to be so charged, and colonists felt their rights challenged, emotions ran high: public subscriptions provided Willshire's £2000 bail and retained Sir John Downer for his defence. Aboriginal witnesses attended, but problems over

Let me tell you what you need to do about a disability Royal Commission, @ScottMorrisonMP. And listen up, because we are 20% of the population (even before carers are counted). We vote.

You need to get this right. Here's how to do it. #RoyalCommissionNow #auspol @Jordonsteele Royal Commission now into disability violence<br /> <br /> New line - into institutions boarding houses hospitals schools family homes - all the places where we are abused
2/ You need to focus on ALL the disabled people in ALL the places they are abused. I understand that you'll be worried about cost and that you think you should narrow the TOR. Many of us are voiceless - it's why you CAN go as broad as possible and not just 'the sector' or 'care'.
3/ This is why. There are multiple issues that need to be addressed - not just workforce or culture or NDIS or one single dimension. There are issues for adults being killed by carers, their family members - people who are victims of hate crime. Hospitals, schools prisons.

⚠️ Morrison’s Liberals are starting a war on facts over the impact of medevac bill on return of people smugglers ⚠️
How will journos cover these lies? How should we respond?
A thread 👇🏻
This exchange between @murpharoo and @ScottMorrisonMP is the foundation of Liberals’ rhetoric strategy in response to medevac bill passing.
Morrison’s strategy is to lie by saying the medevac bill will ‘bring back to boats’, saying the people smugglers will see the opportunity to bring asylum seekers to Australia. This is an attack on Labor using their tired ‘Liberals better on national security’ fear campaign.

hearing—"#China's Worldwide #Military Expansion" is a dramatic bellwether of growing concerns in Washington & beyond.

Now online—hard-hitting arguments + many data points, some deeply-analyzed yet hard to find elsewhere in public domain:

CAPT Jim Fanell, USN Ret, former @USPacificFleet N2:

"today, the PLA Navy consists of over 330 surface ships & 66 submarines, nearly 400 combatants. As of 4 May 2018, the @USNavy consists of 283 battle force ships: 211 surface ships and 72 submarines."

"By 2030, it is estimated [by Fanell & @SCheneyPeters in their chapter in @NavalWarCollege @ChinaMaritime Studies Institute's Chinese Naval Shipbuilding volume amazon.com/Chinese-Naval-… @USNIBooks that] the PLANavy will consist of some 550 ships: 450 surface ships & 99 submarines."

"A prime minister with a golden heart" 😃

A government that listens. Felt like a myth, right? But now, not only does the government listen, but even ACTS. Here are a few incidents when the PMO directly intervened to help the common man, at times even saving lives.

#PeoplesPM
🔹An 8-day-old girl was suffering from a grave medical condition. PM Modi ensured a traffic-free passage for the rescue team who air lifted the child to a hospital. The child was saved.
"He is our God today," said the child's father for PM Modi.

🔸Vaishali Yadav, a class 2 student, needed surgery for a hole in her heart, but her parents couldn't afford it. She wrote to PM Modi and the response was immediate. Her operation was funded by the PMO.
Below is a heartwarming picture of PM Modi with Vaishali.
