@CottonPru @AustralianLabor 1/ Here goes.
Vote No, they will be blasted as being anti religion, we know its not true but media wont care. Suddenly LNP own 'compassion, fairness etc.)
Vote Yes, The give fodder to other left wing people who will accuse labor of being anti LGTBI.

Now it gets curly.

@CottonPru @AustralianLabor 2/
Labor has always supported the international covenant on civil and politicl rights.
As they say on pg 201 of the report.
So a No vote would see them labelled as hypocrites.
Particualry as state labor parties have done this years ago.

@CottonPru @AustralianLabor 3/
Now we see the stitch up, the Libs put impossible timeframes of the inquiry, As highlighted below. If Libs were genuine the inquiry would've started 3 years ago. 71 days shows Libs are using religion as a wedge and a weapon.

Labor knows that the bill would get passed anyway.

1/ $3.5b tender for Job-Active contracts soon 2B awarded
Repeating the failed payment model from the 2nd fleet
The 2nd fleet paid on quantity & 40% arrived dead or soon 2 die.
Contracts move to quality, 'how many arrived in good health'
Add health oversight & only 1% died
#Auspol

2/ Here is the tender, the closing date in February 1. With the duraction being 3 years.
The majority of Jobactive contracts end on 30/06/22
This is the type of contract that makes an incoming government become stuck with the 'old way' of doing things and makes reform impossible.

3/ In 2015 the Jobactive outsourcing bean with $7.4B in contracts issued.The majority ($7.1b) Bexpire in June 30.
No budget has been published, however I am assuming it will be a bit over the current ~$1b per year, $3.5billion in total.

1/ Rapid Antigen Testing - It's by design
The govt invited 'sponsors' to bring RAT's into OZ. Specs published by the TGA. 18 now approved
#ScottyFromEugenics has granted an exemption for all COVID-19 measures to not include a regulatory impact statement. See RAT's amendment👇

2/
Cost to apply to sponsor a product is $10K approx.
We now have 18 approved sponsors. Wholesalers/Retailers can purchase RATs from these 18
It was a deliberate decision to use the "Free Market" to manage supply/demand for critical health needs.
Shops will buy cheap & sell high

3/
We are not 'informed consumers' we will have no idea if we are buying the cheap one that is only suitable for use after 7 days or the one that'll work after 1 day.
RATs have varying levels of sensitivity, depending on how long/much COVID you have.

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”
