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

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

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

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

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…

Want to hear some Broken News? Well the news is that Rex Patrick via Michael West media is trying to play thevogfiles game. "Pin the tail on the Pig" I am not trying to Torpedo him but Patrick needs a new Sub-editor Read on thevogfiles.com/hot-topics/pin… The highlights of the allegation are that Labor has a $200 million scheme where they have chosen, before any evaluation, the recipients of the alleged Rorts. There are a couple of problem with this. Firstly the use of the Largest graphic Pink Pig available and secondly the use of

BROKEN NEWS ALERT. Why are the coalition blaming Labor and specifically Katy Gallagher for "What she Weaponised" Well Quietly the leftover must be quaking in their boots. There is a Tsunami of Sewage coming their way caused by a tidal wave of corrupt conduct during their 9 years in power. Lets list a few. 1/ The National Anti Corruption Commission is standing up in July. thevogfiles.com have 2 solid years of grants rorts analysis just waiting for the NACC to go over.

BREAKING OPINION. If you are confused about the details of an alleged rape that occurred at parliament house in 2019 can I suggest the following. 1. Don't believe what is written in the Murdoch press. 2. be very skeptical about what is written in other main stream media incl the ABC. 3. Don't look for expertise in Legal matters from the press. They are writers not Legal experts. 4. Read the statuatory declarations of experts at Inquiries such as the Sofronoff inquiry. here is the link. cjsinquiry.act.gov.au/public-hearing…

More broken news re NSW Regional Grants. we at thevogfiles.com have analysed the NSW regional Grant fund. and found the following. It was a difficult analysis and involved the superlative IT skills of @SteveCBR with the data from the following page. nsw.gov.au/regional-growt… . Imbedded in the main funds were 11 other funds.

I thought I would make some comments on the Liberal party Election review and point out where they had a point right but the Analysis wrong. here is Loughnane and Hume's appreciation of "developments" which went wrong. I agree with point a. but what was the reason? Well if you remember the pandemic was just up to 2 months old when national cabinet met and Morrison abrogated all of his Section 51 (ix) (of the constitution) responsibilities for Quarantine to the States, who then took on the

Good morning tweeps, Today's tutorial is on Liberal party Political tactics with an excellent example. It goes like this
1. Choose part of a data set, Publish it
2. Amplify it through the Main Stream media (who never check) and
3. Hope to hell none checks the evidence. The Example is Defence.
1. the Semi truth is that Labor doesn't fund Defence very well because in 2012 they took $2.5 billion out of defence.
2. They amplified it through Simon Birmingham on ABC breakfast and then #insiders picked it up as well.
3. BUT Vincent checked the facts.

Bit late to the deal today, but wanted to have a say about the censure of Scott John Morrison. When I joined the West Midlands police in 1974 one of the like minded new coppers was a bloke called Paul who used to be a Sargent in the Coldstream Guards. He was a story teller and was fond of saying anyone who Bullshitted had a lot of "clack". Watching Morrison today I was reminded of Paul. I heard Morrison's speech and later downloaded the Hansard record of it. His speech epitomises the very reason Australians kicked him out. He argued that he wasn't

ROBODEBT. couple of points. It's very hard to get any help from DHS/centrelink when you need it. You have to jump through hoops to get a payment of any stripe. You have to tell them about everything financial you have, have had and what your partner has as well. Once you are through the hoop and get the Payment from them to keep getting it you have, under pain of death from reading their documentation, to tell them what you earn fortnightly, AT THE TIME YOU ARE GETTING THE PAYMENTS. So in 2015 someone in DHS/centrelink decided that there was a

Thread. Greetings tweeps. Time to explain some more devious liberal/National shit which has a bearing on the cost to of mortgages and the price of houses. Remember Joe Hockey? The man who said "Australia is open for business" Well earlier this year I tabulated all of the Foreign Investment review Board approvals for the years 2010-11 to 2018-19 and the largest money spent was on Real Estate. He is the Table. $1.680 trillion spend by Foreigners in Australia Overall of which Real Estate was

Thread. Yesterday @laborforfarrer posted this article penned by the Swan hill Guardian. Anne Webster is the nationals member for Mallee the next electorate over from Farrer. The article was completely misleading. As many of you will know I and my small team have been analysing grants for over 2 years and those can be found at thevogfiles.com/rorts-central.… we have analysed 17 Grants worth (now) $7.4 billion. Overwhelmingly they have shown a bias in funding to Coalition Electorates

Greeting Tweeps far and wide, Trolls far and wide and Sewer rats who inhabite this cess pool of Journalistic nightmares called twitter. I have an announcement. Since 2013-14 for the last 7 years the Coalition and the press in Australia have been taking the piss out of you. Why? I did do a little bit of an analysis of the Taxation data released by the Tax office of entities who earn over $100 million per annum. Since 2013-14 for the subsequent 7 years there have been 14,991 entities who fitted that category. They earned total income of 13,596,295,760,735

goodness the Liberals and Nationals are out in droves today laying on the Dross. Telling punters the biggest lies. Today Bridget (hair toss ) lady said that cutting regional programs was hurting Regional and Provincial Australia. So i have decided to release the Building the better regions Fund summary document which I completed just after the ANAO report came out. I looked at how much was given to All the Regional and provincial seats in Australia to all Political parties. i did this by political party and by seat. here it comes but
