1/ Australia and in particular #DicksonVotes I give you Peter Duttons contribution to our democracy in 2021.
Including his belief that
"Debating in parliament is a contest of ideas"
Warning: Contains Nuclear Grade Hypocrisy
#Auspol #ScottyTheLiar #LNPDisgrace

2/ Some fun history👇
The "No Longer Heard" motion was created in 1905, when speeches had no time limits. Its creation was controversial & PM Deakin said "It should rarely, if ever be used & never for partisan purposes".
He never imagined this mutant variant of a government.

3/
Its 1st used was @ 5:30am, an all-night sitting for estimates, debate went from £1M pound naval ships to "Uniform Penny Post"
The UK had begun “Penny Post” to Aus in 1905, our parliament didn't approve it until 1911
Things were getting heated in the chamber with one member♨️

🧵1/ NDIS, some facts to help with the "Blame NDIS" deflect and distract talking points.

I had wanted to do a comprehensive NDIS thread, instead I'll post this as MYEFO is out tomorrow and 'leaks' to News Corp have begun already.

2/
When Labor was developing NDIS it was fully costed. The initial productivity commission work was revalidated by the government actuary (to appease the Liberals). The table below is from the actuaries report showing $22B cost in 18/19.
So costs were known

3/
More than known, the Liberals made a point of saying the big bad number in their parliamentary speeches.

The costs in 18/19 were lower than forecast, but this was because of liberal incompetence making the rollout go slowly AND then used to create the 'back in black' surplus

1/ $66M Because the Liberals didn't foresee more pandemic leave being needed?
Bizarre🤔A special appropriations determination that is exempt from parliamentary scrutiny (can't be disallowed) was raised last Saturday.
It goes to the NRRA who have $200M+ in unspent money.
#Auspol

2/ The explanatory memorandum has some clues;
👉to do this, the money must be "Urgent" & "unforeseen" (or from error)
👉It's for the $1,500 Pandemic Leave payments
👉$66M allows for 44K payments
👉They only budgeted $12.6M because of Delta.
👉They only realised last week.

3/ The NRRA new & has attracted scandals from the beginning
Liberals gave Liberals mate Shane Stone $617K salary as Chair of this new agency.
Asked about his appointment in estimates Mr Stone said he was informed by “the Prime Minister’s office by one of the very senior advisers”

1/Re: Leaked Text- 🐂💩 & a Dumpster Fire
Here is my dismantling of @CroweDM illogical propaganda piece.

🔥Dumpster Fire
A. Australia has now leaked text messages from the French President. How is leaking confidential text msgs going 2 help restor trust.
theage.com.au/politics/feder…

2/ B. Nothing in the text messages proves Emmanual Macron was not telling the truth. The selective leaking invites speculation by the reader to assume a contract (for what we don't know) may not proceed.
C. Read without the 'selective spin' this can easily be about one component

3/ or one phase, or even a milestone sign off. It seems implausible that the French President would ask whether an entire $90B contract was going to be cancelled via text and then not follow up.

@smh

1/ FACT CHECK:
Nancy Pelosi was repeating what Scott Morrison had said. Nancy was NOT making any assessment.
Shame on @smh for your deceitful headline (Included on tweet 4 if you aren't aware)
Who will tell Nancy Pelosi she met #ScottyFromMarketing

#Auspol #ThisIsNotJournalism

2/
Also worth noting, Nancy wasn’t making a ‘special’ statement, it was near the end of a press conference to with a focus on tax changes and supporting women.
The full transcript is here

3/
If you have been lucky enough to not see this deceitful propaganda piece, here it is.

1/
$91M-GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND FAILURE:
A short thread to explain why this $91M grant is yet another consequence of the Liberal & National party abysmal failure in its role as custodians, regulators, auditors & managers of the Aged Care sector.
grants.gov.au/Go/Show?GoUuid…

2/
The grant is to deal with staff and skill shortages.
8 years ago on the last sitting day before xmas the Liberals rammed through a bill to remove $1.2B meant to staff wages. Tony Burke got up to speak and was gagged. Please read the entire speech the Libs allowed.

3/
In 2011 Labor finalised the agreements with the states to make the federal government 100% responsible. This was a huge achievement, one of the reasons was the unclear responsibility for dealing with abuse. Inadequate staff numbers led to many abuses (e.g. use of sedation)
