Hey @ScottMorrisonMP

Lark Distillery, part-owned by a billionaire Lib donor, got over $330K in #JobKeeper but didn't suffer any 'significant impact' bcuz of COVID

a) Did they pay it back?

b) Why are you giving them $4.5 million of taxpayer money?

#auspol #ausvotes
But wait, there's still more

Lark got $330K #JobKeeper for 2st year

They also got another $350K in JobKeeper the following year

They actually received a total of $680K as discovered by @jommy_tee

Didn't pay it back

On @abcnews @PatsKarvelas discusses Morrison's scare tactics about a hung parliament..."Chaos" PM wails

No Parliament could be more chaotic than the 46th Parliament

Morrison- cut sitting days, had majority yet LOST votes in House, gagged debate

Utter chaos

Question for Sen McKenzie

Are all NAIF recipients meeting their indigenous engagement responsibilities?

E.g., Coalition gave cattle barons, Angus family $30.5 million to build an abattoir on their own land for their

own cattle to reduce their own transport costs

Recently, Angus' sponsored ICMJ & sent a team who won several awards even tho the abattoir has only been open for a few mths

3 of the 7-strong team were daughters/niece of the recipients of $30.5 mill

Is this the 'way of life' Morrison was talking about this morning that he's trying to 'protect'

No diversity? Nepotism?

The Coalition don't govern for all rural Australia, just the Squattocracy, big ag, big beef & mining

Nats follow the money

Morrison: "I designed OSB & the turnback policy of our govt"

"I'm just looking for accuracy & the truth"

PM didn't design 'turnbacks', he copied from Howard

Morrison became an MP in 2007

Howard turned back 5 boats btwn 01-03

Is it illegal to seek asylum by boat?
No

Is Australia a signatory to the Refugee Convention & Protocol?

Yes, Australia voluntarily acceded to the Refugee Convention & Protocol
🐝
#auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2022
Since 2015, Labor has supported 'turnbacks'

So, Morrison asking Albo if Labor supports 'turnbacks' illustrates the PM is woefully uninformed about Labor's policies for the last 7 yrs

It's always wise to know your adversary's policies well

Now, this is what really pisses me off

@The_Nationals have endorsed Kimberly Hone (nee Goldsworthy) as their candidate for Richmond (NSW)

Kimberly is a woman of faith but you wouldn't know it from her bio on Nats' website

Lying by omission
🐝
#auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2022
Kimberly doesn't mention a word about her deeply-held faith

So, either she's deliberately trying to hide her faith from voters or she's not really a woman of faith

Her social media is all about her faith
Her business is all about her faith

🐝
#auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2022
I don't have a problem at all with Kimberly Hone being a woman of faith, not at all

But, I have a huge problem with her & the Nats not being honest about it in an election campaign

That's just deceptive behaviour

It's done to deceive voters

Hi #ausvotes #AusVotes2022

Let's have a chat about the election

A 🧵

On May 21, 2022 Australians will vote in a federal election. Voting is compulsory for all citizens over 18.

If you're not enrolled, you still have time:
Close of Rolls is Monday 18 April, 2022
🐝
#auspol
Australians will vote for candidates in the House of Representatives (Lower House) and a half Senate election (Upper House)

This is NOT a 'double dissolution' election, so that means we are only voting for half the Senate (38 Senate seats will be contested)
🐝
#auspol #ausvotes
First of all, starting with the House of Reps

All 151 seats will be contested.

The Green Ballot Paper is for the House of Reps

You DO NOT have to vote according to 'How To Votes', these are a guide only.

You can choose which order you put your numbers in

Hey @ipeaAusGov

I've just been double-checking @mattjcan's expenses for Oct-Dec 2021

Senator Canavan has claimed Travel Allowance of $1332.00 for 4 nights 'Parliamentary Duties' 5 Dec 21 to 8 Dec 21

&
Unscheduled Transport $1075.67 4 Dec 21 to 13 Dec 21
🐝
#auspol #insiders
Senator Canavan was in Newcastle on 7 Dec 2021

Same day, there was a Select Committee on Job Security hearing in Newcastle.

Senator Canavan is Deputy Chair of the Job Security Select Committee

But Senator Canavan didn't attend that hearing
🐝
#auspol #insiders
As a Senator from Queensland, and no longer a Minister, Senator Canavan would not have 'Parliamentary Duties' outside of QLD

Except, if he actually attended the Senate Select Job Security hearing, that would constitute 'Parliamentary Duties', but he didn't
