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
The most important part being. "to investigate and report on serious or systemic corruption in the Commonwealth public sector, refer evidence of criminal corrupt conduct" My point being that they said the investigation had already been done. Where was the Journalism on this?
Because it's sealed no one knows which other agencies the RC referred people to. This has left a vacuum of information where the grief of the families affected by the decision are once again traumatised. Unfortunately that vacuum is filled by the Anonymous Avatars of twitter
Who are telling the other armchair experts what they want to hear. Somehow it's all @AlboMP 's fault about everything. Somehow he's all of a sudden a Bland man " the incredible shrinking man" among many unfounded accusations. I see rubbish like Labor and the LNP are hardly
indistinguishable from other commentators. One only has to look at the Labor National Policy platform and to compare it with the liberals and all other Political movements in Australia to see that they are by far the most comprehensive set of policies of any of the movements.
Labor might not be good at the politics, but they trump (not a pun) every other party hands down with good policy. This is an analysis the Media and the Anonymous armchair experts on Twitter tend to fail at. The ABC even tend to eat their own. look at the way a top journalist
Laura Tingle was treated this week. It was a disgrace. I also wanted to make some comments about the pile on of @AlboMP and @SenatorWong and the misinformation about their and the governments stance on Gaza. What do you all want? Representations re ceasefire have been made and
ignored by the government of Israel, both in Government to Government and as part of the United Nations. Please lets all try to do better than this. Lets not fall into the Anonymous posters thrall. Lets read a bit more and not be so quick to agree with crap commentary. Thats it

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
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.
@4corners Dear 4 Corners I applaud you for exposing (tonight) the 4 big consultancy firms who received 7.6 billion from 2012 to 2023.
Showing their share of the largesse by Calendar year.
Yet when I came to you with a much bigger Story in March/April 2020 you decided it wasn't worth you effort. Just by comparison the Grants granted between 1 Jan 2018 and 21 May 2022 are in excess of $95 billion. Eveidence? See attached.
