1/ 103 Advertising/Propaganda contracts.
This year alone the Liberals have issued 103 advertising contracts worth $68M.
The chart below shows the start & end date for each contract. #Auspol#FederalICAC#AlboForPM#ScottyFromMarketing
2/ PEAK PROPAGANDA
Assuming each contract expends its money evenly over the contract duration then we see 'peak propaganda' being reached just prior to the election being called and dropping off at the end of financial year. #ScottyFromPhotoOps
3/
Notes:
💰Many contracts are likely unpublished, so the real numbers are likely significantly higher
💰The data was taken from Austenders using the keyword advertising
💰The daily burn rate was derived by dividing total contract value by the number of days in the contract.
4/ The Liberal and National party have wasted billions of dollars that our kids and grand kids will be forced to repay.
What do we have to show for it? SFA #ScottyThePathologicalLiar

1/ Cook preselection
Not long after Scott Morrison was sacked, he took Cook amidst a culture of factional deals, dirt and use the of media to dog whistle, promote and undermine others. This is a series of news clippings from the time
Alex Hawke plays a key role
2/ Alex Hawke & Hillsong. It seems Hillsong is an excellent addition to a Liberal CV
We see Coleman, who has rarely been in Canberra for the last 2 years, he teams up with Paul Fletcher. The thread shows David was against Morrison
Marise Payne is involved, perhaps as a pawn.
3/ Shane Stone was given the head job at the NRRA and recently blamed people for living in flood area.
Turnbull gave glowing references of Scott Morrison
1/ Aged Care: The endless rort.
The latest grant to 'SummitCare-Baulkum Hills' is extraordinary. Easily the largest grant given out under the 'COVID Preparedness Fund'. It's just over 4 years old. Shown are two Liberals at the opening.
2/ The owner appears to be doing extremely well from the 8 places he owns, shelling out $37M for this place.
3/ Peter does have a charitable side, I'm sure it’s just a coincidence that the charity has some of the most powerful people in Australia and elsewhere involved.
1/ How good is bypassing democracy.
The Liberals made 33 changes to laws over Christmas & made them 'exempt from disallowance' (Can't be challenged or stopped)
The LNP led senate committee for 'scrutiny of bills' said NOT 1 of them was justified. #Auspol#FederalICAC
2/ The bypassing of democracy is scandalous, the exempt from disallowance provisions are meant for administration or critically urgent.
When the LNP⬆️debt limit to $1.2T it was done using delegated legislation & the exempt from disallowance power👇
The abuse of the
3/ exempt from disallowance issue has been repeatedly raised by the Senate committee for the last 2 years.
From Jan 1st 2020 to July 30 2020 the Liberals used it on 48 of the 249 legislative instruments made in those 6 months.
1/🧵FAIL: RC-National Natural Disaster Arrangements
🌊Big disasters-no longer 'unprecedented'
🌊Upcoming floods-more than just houses inundated
🌊Shane Stone is remarkable
🌊Key new departments: 'Australian Climate Services' & 'National Resilience & Recovery Agency' #Auspol
2/ The 2 new departments and the existing EMS make up the Liberal governments design for disaster management. Shown in the freshly minted disaster management document (1st created by Labor in 2012 as part of the 1st ever COAG disaster agreement).
3/ A bit more on that document.
Who updated a key document in the middle of 'storm/xmas season'. The document does not appear to have been given to or endorsed by the states.
🧵1/ INDUE- Cashless Debit Card
"A card by any other name would control as much"
📺A video showing the both the Liberal & National party support for a nationwide Cashless Debit Card
📖A small thread to provide background/context for this crucial issue. #Auspol#AlboForPM
2/ In 2007 (Liberal's Attempts 1.0) The Liberals pushed for a big bang approach, putting all government services onto one card. It was given the name the “Access Card”.
In 2016 (Liberal's Attempt 2.0) the creeping control began with the first trial of “Indue”
3/ The “Access Card” aimed to put all government services onto one card.
The legislation was created & tabled in parliament.
Imagine how easy it would be to privatise our social services if they are all on one system.
1/ Unemployment-The forgotten facts
If you have a job, but haven't worked because of illness, Injury or sick leave. You are still counted as employed.
We can see the extraordinary level of people connected to work, but not working in the chart below #Auspol
2/ A massive increase in people who worked fewer hours because of illness, injury or sick leave
3/ Side by Side we can see the massive increase in both the zero hours and fewer hours cohort.
