I have wanted to express this for the last three days. here goes. I am disgusted at the lack of Integrity and dishonesty of the main Stream media in Australia. Because they have been knobbled by the Coalition generally. This week they have been discussing Labor Branch stacking
Ad infinitum in Victoria. branch Stacking is NOT an offence. It is a manipulation of the Internal labor Party rules. What might be an offence is the fools of MP's who used employees on the Public payrole to do this manipulation. I agree that that needs to be addressed. If those
MP's have committed offenses against State or federal laws, then they should rightly suffer the consequences. The press have been spending an inordinate amount of time discussing this this week. YET they have totally ignopred another outrage perpetrated by the sitting Federal
Coalition Government. The reporting of the rorting of the latest round of the BUILDING THE BETTER REGIONS FUND ROUND 5. This was reported in the Guardian and the New Daily within days of it being released. I was one of the people who analysed it. Here is a graph of the uneven
distribution of the funds.
I cannot understand how this is not Newsworthy, especially in the Light of the following NINE other analyses done and hardly reported by the press. The first was Sports Rorts. Value $100 Million
The next was Community Development grants between 2013 and 2019 Value $1.1 Billion.
The next was Regional Development Programs from 2013 to 2019 to the value of $714.5 million
The next was Community Development grants in 2020 for a value of $392.3 Million
The next was Building the Better Regions fund in 2020 for a value of $158.4 Million.
Then there was the Female facilities and Water Safety stream Grants worth $135.75 Million
followed by The Commuter car Park Fund. Worth $704.39 Million
Then there was Drought Communities fund for a Cool $188.5 Million.
And finally (of those already analysed) The Local Roads and community Infrastructure Fund worth another cool $499.1 Million.
The total of all of these rorts adds up to $4.3 Billion.

This is the reason we need an:-
INTEGRITY COMMISSION,
CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT AND A
DECENT AND LESS DISHONEST PRESS WHICH SHOWS INTEGRITY IN THEIR BALANCE IN REPORTING. Ping That means you @InsidersABC
The last time i checked this Government had allocated $63 Billion in grants since 2018 and since 2013 had awarded tender contracts worth $374 Billion. AND THIS ISN'T NEWS? Give me a break.

Broken breaking News. What a week of extremely poor Journalism all around. What a week for the opinionated Avatars who say everything the majority of the punters on twitter want to hear. Firstly lets take the NACC and Robodebt. This RC was never reported properly in the press
but it was reported very well by @strangerous10 on Twitter. At the end of the RC part of the report was sealed because it had been referred to other agencies incl the NACC. The NACC came out and said it wasn't doing anything more. Very disappointing however when you read the

An real example of How Liberal Party policy hurts Australia. In 2018, my wife and I bought a 2nd hand Car. Good brand low Kms for $9,000. bit small but nice car. time to buy again. Thought about Trade in. Same car now with 83k kms worth $14,000. Why? Well in 2013 when
Abbott came to power, the Liberals and Nationals wouldn't subsidise the car industry to the tune of $500 million. He called Holden untruthful in Parliament and they decided to leave next day. That was the end of the car industry. It destroyed many things. 200,000 jobs, many many
skills and a lot of acquired knowledge. I wrote about it here in a submission to the parliament. It's a long read and also about grants. BUT back to the car industry. So when the manufacture stopped the supply of new vehicles dropped. They had to bethevogfiles.com/uploads/1/3/5/…

Time for a bit of policy and general discussion about Electricity supply in Victoria in light of the outright untruths and lies which have been told about the blowing over of power lines and subsequent shut down of power to various areas because of the power line being down.....
The blame has been applied to 1. Renewable energy and 2. To the Victorian labor Government. Both of these factors are untrue. In the case of 1. renewable energy, that electricity is exactly the same as coal fired electricity. The electricity produced in Victoria is mainly
Coal fired. See this explanation. energy.vic.gov.au/about-energy/a…

So what does #Nemesis mean? ("a formidable and usually victorious rival or opponent"). What did the program mean? Did it mean that Abbott's Nemesis was Turnbull and Turnbull's was Morrison's, or is that too simplistic? Who's was Morrison's Nemesis? My theory is that all of their
Nemesis was "the truth". So why did it take 9 years for the truth to be told? The answer to that actually lies in the last episode and it sticks out like Canine gonads. It is the part when Covid 19 is discussed by Morrison and where he says that health is the responsibility of
the States. This is the sort of half truth that Morrison is always allowed to get away with. He very cleverly conflates funding and responsibility and the specific responsibility for Quarantine, which is what Covid19 was all about. That responsibility lays with the

Nemesis barely covered what a load of Self serving people the Liberal party are. The ABC missed what was going on at the time, big time. They didn't even report Nationally on the Robodebt RC. The 2015 budget, engineered by Morrison was as big a shocker as the 2014 "entitlement
over" budget. As well as robodebt, which was predicated on the lie that all people on Job start were frauds, they also introduced the cashless debit card, predicated on the Lie that all indigenous people were Drunks, gamblers and drugies and then they reduced the Pensions saying
that all the pensioners were wealthy (the ones who owned a home. Another huge Lie. There is one thing that the liberal party can be relied upon to do and that is LIE. I wrote a paper about these changes here. It's a lot of work to understand what theythevogfiles.com/policy-gone-ro…

As usual the ABC are pussy footing around. At we have run the actual Budget figures since 2007-2008 to Last Mays budget. Budget paper 4 contains two figures Estimated (for the current year and three more years) and Estimated actual (for the last years thevogfiles.com
estimate. The budget was made up of four elements until 2016 when Defence Materiel was merged into Defence, the other two are defence housing and veterans affairs. At we discussed the ongoing lies, repeated as fact by the ABC. Since thenthevogfiles.com/defence-number…
We have upgraded the spreadsheet figures to reflect the May 2023 Budget figures. This graph is the upgraded figures incl 2023 budget. Image
