Dear @abcnews I think it's time to give you a bit of a lesson in Journalism. Yesterday I listened to your presenter on News breakfast make light of @AlboMP bring out the "Little green Card" due to an announcement on an Extension to medicare. The day before another commentator seemed to take delight in Albanese falling off a stage and then the allegation that he lied about it. What absolute dross. What bottom of the barrel political commentary coming from the infant school of journalism. Let me tell you why that "little green card" and falling over

🧵🧵Welcome to another Liberal/Dutton fact check. Today Peter Dutton said that the Coalition always spends more on Defence. Well this is an old claim, made by Tony Abbott in 2012, then by Simon Birmingham in 2019 and so I decided to check the claim. A claim that the @abcnews also decided to regurgitate on Insiders some time ago. So I actually downloaded all of the Budget Paper No 4 Papers and put the figures into a spreadsheet. So the source is impeccable. Firstly What is Defence? Well in 2008 when I started the series, it consisted of Defence,

🧵🧵Liberal Regional Infrastructure News. Well well well we have a Liberal National Policy announcement. Described in this article by the ABC. abc.net.au/news/2025-04-1… Lets have a look at it. Firstly it says. "a $1 billion dividend each year to pay for infrastructure and services that local councils cannot afford including ways to boost phone and internet connectivity." Couple of points here. Firstly Australia's telecommunications was supposed

More Broken News. Today I have been talking about Policy work and here is a great example of that type of work. Let me introduce Max Chandler Mather who appeared on QandA last evening and let me introduce his Feature Stump policy. It's a bit confusing as to whether its Housing, homelessness, Rentals or a mixture of the three. These three are really three different problems. Housing is very complex and involves different social policy ingredients than homelessness and/or rentals. As an analogy they all contain Salt and pepper and Garlic and

🧵Breaking OLD News. What the Press haven't yet worked out and the Coalition haven't either is that when they crtitisise the Labor Prime Minister and Labor Policies they are actually having a go at the whole Labor membership. They do it for two reasons Firstly because they are terrified of a bunch of working people being able to run a country for everyone. and secondly because they are so frightened of the depth and Breath of Labor Party Policy. Why is this? Well any organisation is always better when the majority think of the best and fairest way for

🧵Breaking News. Serious News. Yesterday @PeterDutton_MP announced he was going to deregister the CFMEU. This is a Liberal stump speech Staple. As usual there was no detail and no reason why he would do so. This is troubling for a man who spent nine or ten years in the Police in Queensland. Police usually find evidence of wrongdoing to de register any organisation or they have an enquiry....Oh yes the Liberals did try that. They had the Union Corruption Enquiry, where they found little wrongdoing by many people. (I actually did a spreadsheet of the

Information you need to know About Defence spending on VETERANS AFFAIRS. We at have just updated the Defence spending spreadsheet. It is real data which can be checked against Budget paper 4 of the budget Papers. It tells a tale of the difference betweenthevogfiles.com The Coalition and The Labor parties and the way they support our Veterans. Please read the following Excerpt from the Budget paper No 4.

🧵It's time to remind people what a Shocking 10 years we had under the Liberal/National Coalition. During the dying especially to do with Welfare. Please read the attached piece I wrote about this in 2021 Still valuable today. thevogfiles.com/pensions-the-c… The article starts off with Tony Abbott and his now infamous SBS interview where he ruled out changes to many services.

if you do nothing else today you must read this. Yesterday the @abcnews showed it's complete lack of Quality. Specifically in the 7.30 report Where the presenter was let down really badly by her producers and researchers. The treasurer Jim Charmers was in the firing line. He was asked about a policy which Peter Dutton had released, which would reduce or ban foreign investors purchasing Residential property. Specifically he was asked if he would match the policy. Answering that a range of fess had been made to make it difficult for foreign buyers

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…

@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.

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. The detail with the spreadsheet evidence is available thevogfiles.com/rorts-central.…

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…

BREAKING BREAKING BREAKING As seismic as the earthquake last night in Melbourne is the latest analysis of Infrastructure spending given to Victoria between the 2018-19 to 2021-22 financial years. thevogfiles.com/hot-topics/som… Was Victoria short changed? read on. Lets firstly look at the total Grant spend during this period. Over $90 billion. All Grants and all Departments.

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.
