finally the work of David Shoebridge gets a look in. Now that we have spent hours and hours broadcasting the Liberal Party perspective of a Liberal Party leader resigning due to being under investigation for multiple counts of dishonesty and corruption.
it’s not just this one grant, says Shoebridge. There have been hundreds and hundreds of millions of public dollars handed out for party political gain.
should ICAC have waited due to covid? asks glover for the eleventeenth time. He is very enarmoured of this claim made by a politician about the independent commission against corruption that is investigating her for corruption.
all these Liberal Party politicians rushing to sing the praises of a colleague under investigation on four counts of corruption and dishonesty lmao they admire corrupt and dishonest conduct that much. Love it. The pro-corruption party.
there seems a lot of confusion around why Berejiklian resigned. The reason is the NSW Liberal Party room decided she is too big a political liability given the ICAC publicly announced it is investigating her on four counts of dishonesty and corruption.
they moved on her when the ICAC made public what they all knew was coming. It is not rocket surgery.
btw, as transport minister, Gladys Berejiklian oversaw the shift from transit officers to over 600 fully armed police patrolling NSW trains and stations. Police issue more infringements and proceed with more charges for fare evasion against 10-17 year olds than any other offence.
like Morrison and his #Robodebt trajectory from Human Services to Treasurer to Prime Minister causing huge devastation. Berejiklian as Transport minister, treasurer and premier is responsible for violent and targeted mass criminalisation of kids from low income families on PT.
kids with unpaid fines cannot get their drivers licence and then can not compete for jobs. Berejiklian spent her time as transport minister actively causing [further] marginalisation and disadvantage and enabling criminalisation of children and young people in western Sydney.
not the corrupt married man from Wagga. Berejiklian. THEN she chose not to contain the Bondi covid outbreak and complacently watched it spread devastation across west and south west Sydney where her policies have been causing huge hardship long before the pandemic.
but sure, keep asking whether ICAC should have delayed its investigation into four counts of corruption and dishonesty because she is the Premier - whose decisions have caused thousands of people in west and south western Sydney to get very sick as well as criminalised.
the ABC remembering Berejiklian for “she introduced the Opal card” yes with its mass expansion of police surveillance of people on city, western, and south western train lines. Gladys was nothing if not her big government carceral politics.

theguardian.com/world/2016/dec…
“freedom” rhetoric is always a deadset giveaway of big expensive surveillance government and carceral politics like Berejiklian has enacted throughout her political career.
please leave my mentions with this false “Perrottet is worse” dichotomy. So what. Morrison is worse than Turnbull. So was Abbott. So is Dutton. The Liberal Party only recruits and promotes terrible people. Berejiklian is one of them/ fin.
it gets broadcast when even former Liberal Party politicians say the quiet part out loud. Image

and is there ANYTHING with less news value than the opinion of retired Liberal Party politicians. We know exactly what they are going to say. This never-ending parade of washed up partisans who joined a disgusting organisation to make the world a worse place.
I mean they are experts in what exactly? Lying about how factional hatreds play out? So fucking what? Most are losers who failed the people while in government and failed in their own ambition. And this parade of partisan legacy promotion is foisted on us constantly.
oh and actual current elected officials as well as political journalists deliberately spreading misinformation about how the system works. She took herself out, as only she - between elections - can. It is like they do not know why Porter is still in the parliament.

comms hack: when any Morrison government rep says “we will continue to”, they are lying and covering up repeated and predictable corruption and failures.
this morning it was a rushed statement while Kelly was interviewing Ben Gauntlet on RN about evidence-based findings that the government has not prioritised vaccinating disabled people, saying “we will continue to prioritise” vaccinating disabled people, a lie.
it is part of the gaslighting manipulation of timeframes that bookend all their lies - the past happened differently to what evidence shows, the present is somehow not a shitshow, while campaigning on future outcomes which are never realised.

Berejiklian is at Shanes Park to announce a 500 hectare national park. She says second doses are just off 60% which seems to mean over 16s as she then adds 12-15 year old first dose figures.
incredibly rare sighting of Berejiklian mentioning when unvacccinated people will be able to “participate”. She reels off cases and deaths and goes back to the Shanes Park announcement.
btw Shanes Park is a semi-rural spot between Mt Druitt and the Blacktown Road of mostly jerry-built shacks interspersed with land-value wealth McMansions. The minister is bouncing with benevolence for western Sydney and calls the park “your very own Noah’s ark”.
