Future Rorts: Why buy one election when you can buy three? michaelwest.com.au/future-rorts-w… via @MichaelWestBiz
“The Government has teed up a “community chest” of future rorts to target marginal seats in two more elections. The blatant manipulation of voters does not end with #sportsrorts and other assorted grants rorts.”
“Jommy Tee has uncovered a cunning plan which could see Community Development Grants pork-barrel another two election campaigns.”
Using our money to bribe their way into two more terms of government. We’re stuck with lnp greed, corruption & cruelty, whether we like it or not.

Now here’s something msm won’t tell you.

“Australia’s high concentration of media ownership is eroding its democracy, getting in the way of critical action on issues like climate change and limiting what stories get told, media experts have warned.”
thenewdaily.com.au/news/politics/…
“The warning comes as former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd called for a royal commission into media concentration on Saturday, launching a petition to Parliament that amassed thousands of signatures within hours of going live.”
“Australia’s media landscape is dominated by two players – Nine Entertainment which owns the The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald mastheads among others, and News Corp, owned by former-Australian Rupert Murdoch, which controls between 60-70 per cent of the metropolitan market.”

“Back in August, the PM bristled at the scathing critique of his govt before the Aged Care Royal Commission.

Counsel Assisting the Commission, Peter Rozen, QC, had not held back in summing up where the Government had failed heading into this pandemic.”
abc.net.au/news/2020-10-0…
“When the criticism was put to Scott Morrison, he dismissed it.
"This is not a royal commission finding," he told reporters. "That’s a statement that’s been made by counsel assisting. So that is not a finding of the Royal Commission. That is a position that has been asserted”
“Well, now we have the views of the royal commissioners themselves. Tony Pagone, QC, and Lynelle Briggs were chosen by none other than the Prime Minister to investigate the aged care sector before the pandemic struck.”

Remember sports rorts? Here's why we mustn't forget that shameful episode smh.com.au/national/remem…
“Before the Morrison government starts the hard sell of its budget, it's worth recalling a recent episode it would rather the community forget.”
“The sports rorts affair shows us that the public service is becoming a political service, that the Morrison ministry is adept at using public money for private benefits, that it is content to ignore unlawful activity, & misleading Parliament and public is a matter of no moment”

Covid-19 aged care guidelines: ‘They’re not a national plan. This is a plan!’ michaelwest.com.au/covid-19-aged-… via @MichaelWestBiz
“Dr Sarah Russell critically examines two documents that Scott Morrison asserts were the federal government’s pandemic plan for aged care.”
“The first is a set of vague guidelines that places responsibility for protecting residents on individual providers. The second is a plan for the health sector, not aged care.”

Guess who’s coming to dinner? Glencore, Peabody and BHP michaelwest.com.au/guess-whos-com… via @MichaelWestBiz
“The move by Josh Frydenberg to exclude Greenpeace, The Australia Institute and the Australian Conservation Foundation from next week’s Budget lock-up continues his long history of favouring business groups over green groups dating back to when he was Environment Minister.”
“Jommy Tee reports stunning new evidence of fossil fuel influence.”

Fossil fuel gaslighting: accept climate change but undermine action michaelwest.com.au/fossil-fuel-ga… via @MichaelWestBiz
“Lobbyists for the fossil fuel industry have enjoyed a meteoric rise in influence both locally and globally over the past few decades, writes Ian Dunlop.”
“Despite the supposed success of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement in uniting disparate parties behind the common objective of tackling climate change, the words  “fossil fuels”, “coal”, “oil” or “gas” do not appear in the entire document,”
