(1) The fact is that the LNP are guilty of the inappropriate use of government funds. Christine Holgate has been attacked, bullied and humiliated because she chose to spend $20k on a personal and thoughtful gift, rather than spend $150k on cash bonuses.
(2) Christine Holgate chose to save $130k of taxpayer dollars and give the executives a gift rather than cash bonuses, but she is now being treated like a dirty criminal, when the LNP has misappropriated, stolen and wasted hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars.
(3) When Barnaby Joyce paid Angus Taylor $80m for non existent water, for licenses that were actually worth only around $1.4m - WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE?
(4) When the government paid $444m to the tiny Great Barrier Reef Foundation with no proper procurement process or justification - WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE?
(5) When a company that was registered to a beach shack on Kangaroo Island and had a post box in Singapore was awarded a $423m contract for offshore detention - WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE?
(6) When copious numbers of LNP members of Parliament constantly use taxpayer funds for personal trips, or claim travel allowances $300 a night) when shacking up with their latest squeezes outside of their electorates for months on end - WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE?
(7) When Liberal Party donors are given millions of dollars in government contracts WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE?
(8) When the LNP pays $30m for a tiny parcel of land to millionaire Liberal Party donors, land that they won’t need did another 30 years or so - WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE?
(9) When LNP marginal seats are given hundreds of thousands of dollars for female change rooms, or wealthy yacht clubs in posh blue seats are given grants for bbq areas, or a blue seat North Shore swimming pool given a REGIONAL community funding grant - WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE?
(10) When fossil fuel companies receive BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars in subsidies, destroy our environment, contribute to climate change, yet pay no taxes - WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE?
(11) When the LNP gave tens of millions of dollars to Rupert Murdoch, who then took our taxpayer money right before closing down hundreds of regional newspapers - WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE?
(12) The Liberal National Government has kicked sand in our faces for years. They continually use our taxpayer money to prop up their party so they can continue to hoodwink hard working Australians, and increase their’s and their cronies’ personal wealth.
(13) Australian women are being raped, abused and murdered, while the LNP looks the other way and slashes funding to domestic violence services. Women in Parliament House itself are being sexually abused by men in the space that makes the laws for this country.
(14) And an alleged rapist - a man who since he was in school, has known nothing but privilege and entitlement, and who it has been demonstrated through witness accounts to have a scathing contempt for women, is protected from any investigation.
(15) Yet Christine Holgate - a capable, intelligent & professional woman - has been metaphorically raped by the very men in the LNP for her “inappropriate use of government funds”, by the VERY men who has built their careers on the actual inappropriate use of government funds.
(16) The utter hypocrisy, misogyny and entitlement of the LNP, led by misogynist in chief, Scott Morrison is breathtaking. Nothing I have said in this thread can be refuted or denied. I speak fact and truth only. Everything here is on the public record.
(17) So I say again, WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? What depths has this country been allowed to sink to in order for this completely incompetent & uncaring government to thrive? The ONLY solution to our grave situation is to elect the @AustralianLabor Party next election. #TheLNPMustGo

I'm incredibly angry about the interview that @mjrowland68 did with Greg Hunt this morning. I'm angry at how the Liberal Party has politicised the APS, so I have looked into the advertising guidelines to show that @GregHuntMP has breached the AusGov advertising guidelines -THREAD
According to the AusGov Guidelines on Advertising Campaigns, gov’t advertising campaigns are designed to support the effective delivery & implementation of gov’t policies, programs, assistance, initiatives & services.

(3) Non-corporate Commonwealth entities (entities) under the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act) must comply with these Guidelines. The Department of Health, therefore, MUST comply with these Guidelines.

I’m HORRIFIED & GOBSMACKED with @GregHuntMP’s behaviour on @BreakfastNews just now. It’s disgusting. @mjrowland68 asked a very legitimate question about WHY Greg Hunt has put LIBERAL PARTY BRANDING in the announcements for the vaccine, when it is an AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT thing
(2) I was in the public service for YEARS, including working in government advertising. While the rules around advertising during a campaign preclude using political party promotion in government ads, I have never actually seen such blatant political opportunism from a government
(3) it’s is not the Liberal Party rolling out this vaccine, @GregHuntMP. It is the AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT. It is thousands of public service who do all of the hard work to make this happen while you take credit for the hard work of Australian Public Servants.

Friends, I need your advice. So many of you have so generously donated to my campaign costs (thank you from the bottom of my heart), but I’m still well below what I would need to mount a campaign that would give me some traction. So I need to decide how to spend the money (1)....
(2) ...where I will get the best value for money. What are your thoughts on letterbox drops? I’ve been advised I might need to deliver around 50k leaflets, which is a massive ask for my friends to help me deliver them. But an even bigger issue I have with them is the wastage.....
(3)....not only is it a lot of paper to use, but my observations have been that people hate having these put in their letterboxes, and most go straight in the bin - and into landfill. As someone who wants to reduce waste going into landfill, I have an issue with paying for.....

A very close friend of mine has just alerted me to a really serious issue related to our health system that will have serious consequences if CMO Brendan Murphy and the Aus Gov don’t act now. This is a thread...
(2) Aust is currently experiencing a shortage of solvents critical to COVID-19 response, due to Australian manufacturers selling overseas. WilmarBioEthanol and Recochem are the only two Aus companies that make the solvents needed in Australia's hospitals and pathology clinics...
(3) But these two companies have decided to sell their product - ethanol and isopropanol - to the highest bidders- overseas companies. Normally 50 cents a litre, now around $2.20 a litre. And the foreign companies in the region are snapping it up. Meaning companies can’t buy it.

Oh wow. @4corners. I’m actually feeling incredibly nauseous after watching tonight’s program. Nauseous, angry, frightened and intimidated. Here’s my take on tonight’s episode....
China are teaching their youth a narrative that the West has humiliated China over the last 100 Years, and now China are flexing their muscles, ready to fill the void when the US collapses as a super power.
Part of this narrative is to infiltrate and influence Australia, and our universities have become the perfect place to do it. Since the Australian Government sucked funding out of Australian universities, the latter has become very dependent on the international student dollar.

If anyone is interested in a breakdown of the history af the Family Court and why the gov is so hell bent on destroying it, here is a thread (not written by me), explaining it.

The Family Court was set up in 1976 by the Labor party....
In the early to mid 90’s, things worked really well - the court processes were simplified, it was funded with Registrars, Judicial Registrars and Judges - all dealing with different levels of complexity of cases.
court application. The mid 90’s also saw an enormous shift away from “custody” language, to focusing more on the responsibilities of parenting - the rights moved to the children.
