🗣️Federal govt needs to own its mistakes

🔥The Federal authorities have taken a very minimalist approach to the aftermath of the Namadgi ACT Fire that threatened the southern suburbs & destroyed an estimated 80% of the ACT's iconic national park.

The recent $1 million plus

spend on restoration works in the Namadgi National Park in the wake of the Orroral Valley fire is another example of the ‘hands off' approach of the Morrison Government.

Despite the fire having been STARTED by an ADF helicopter crew, who then FAILED to report its location

to authorities for 45 minutes, the ACT's REQUEST for Commonwealth DISASTER RECOVERY Funding was REJECTED earlier this year.

The outcome of a compensation claim for the destruction of an estimated 80% of the National Park still hangs in the balance.

IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

🚨Info on the NSW Airport Quarantine Breach

For starters it was a Car rental employee who tipped off authorities to travellers who skipped Sydney Hotel Quarantine & flew to Melbourne

The travellers, who flew from GERMANY, are understood to have used online services to

check into a domestic flight & fly to Melbourne on Sat afternoon, which later sparked a warning to 130 of their fellow passengers to ISOLATE immediately.

Vic Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed reports that an employee at a car rental company had overheard a conversation,

picked up something wasnt right & reported the matter to authorities.
(shows how luck can often play a significant role in whether there's a Covid Outbreak. ie NSW has been VERY LUCKY to date)

It remains unknown how the pair managed to leave Sydney's international airport

🏴‍☠️Inspired by SKY. Cooked in a DARK room. Delivered by the OZ. This is how a NEWS CORP exclusive is made.

Wed @SharriMarkson published an exclusive “investigation” which claimed there was “foreign interference” in the Royal Commission petition....

A delicious thread..🧵

with over 1000 fake names on the petition “paid for & generated” overseas. The information had come from a “whistleblower,” & there would be an “official investigation.”

🙄As it turns out, Markson’s “exclusive” was drawn from an unknown Melbourne blogger, Nicholas Smith’s

😩The Government is using the pandemic to lock in LOW WAGES & INSECURE WORK

The latest wages data released on Wed shows wages grew SLOWER in the past 12 mths than ever before.

But MORE worrying is that even when the economy recovers, the Government is WORKING to ENSURE

Wages Growth REMAINS WEAK.

The situation has not been helped by the Government’s changes to the jobkeeper payment.

In the June quarter, private sector wages grew just 0.1% - the 2nd straight quarter of such WEAK growth

The public sector fared little better – just a 0.2% rise

Over the past yr private-sector wages grew just 1.2% & both private & public combined grew a record LOW of 1.4%

🗣️Malcolm Turnbull has accused Prime Minister Scott Morrison of working as "a team" with News Corp newspapers & Sky TV.

"They're not holding him to account for failings, & they're criticising his opponents. & yeah, they're operating like a team."

"The critical thing, u

for a Royal Commission into Australia's media landscape. (he represents the state's 77 councils)

"To go through what we've just seen in the US, the positions that various media organisations have taken, I think that UNDERMINES what DEMOCRACY is all about," he said.
