I wonder if these ex-political ex-right wingnuts paid taxes on their double dipping.

The path from MP to big business is well trodden — and defence and AUKUS is in their sites.

In Australia there has long been disquiet about the revolving door between high political office and big business.

A survey published two years ago by a major public health journal found two-thirds of people believe public officials — including politicians — should either be banned from lobbying altogether, or subject to a cooling-off period of as long as five years.

Last January, a report by the Human Rights Law Centre found former officials were more often granted meetings with government as well as a "sympathetic audience". The shift of bureaucrats and politicians into corporate roles was creating an "elite class of the politically powerful and the incredibly rich", while alienating the Parliament from "the values and interests of voters".

The research focused on tobacco, gambling and mining. But there's another area of public policy where the path from politics to the corporate world has been so well-trodden, for so long, it's worn to a shine: Australia's sprawling defence portfolio, where billions of dollars in contracts are showered on arms-peddlers every year.....

I reckon that it's past time to stop this sort of corruption, jobs for the boys must be stopped.

Our current government says sorry for what the previous government did and there's still no apology, but still plenty of denial, from the slimy lowlife who set up the whole disgusting debacle.

Federal parliament apologises to Robodebt victims.

There's no peace amongst our extreme far right joke of a party full of lowlife moronic clowns fighting against each other.

A former One Nation senator who sued Pauline Hanson tried to shove money between a staffer’s breasts and kiss her “passionately”, a court has found.

Our own version of MTG is making wild claims again.

Senator Lidia Thorpe says she was ‘set upon with a weapon’ in Brisbane.

More likely the poor person was trying to fend off a feral attack with a handbag or something.

WTF? Right wingnut leader shows his inner Voldemort by making a hypocritical response as he pushes the No campaign to the Voice for our indigenous people.

Dutton flags second referendum if Indigenous Voice to Parliament fails.

So basically he's saying that it's not a good idea unless it's his party of greedy racist idiots says it is and his name is attached to the bill instead of someone else's.

Would a second referendum be an 'idiotic' waste of time or a rousing success?

Meanwhile a better mind shows up the error of the PTSD affected ex-cop's mighty white mob's side of the No argument.

A professor has expertly shut down a key argument being used by many non-Indigenous Australians as an excuse to vote No in the Voice referendum.

The most hypocritical part of the whole thing is the the right said that they were going to do it when they were trying to get back in power, but after 9yrs and 3 prime ministers they did not do a thing to bring about the promise they made that got them back into power at that time (and the Mad Abbott made himself munster for Indigenous Affairs as well).

This right wingnut certainly won't missed in the slightest either.

Liberal senator Marise Payne to retire from politics.

Sadly they don't mention all the cover, foul ups and blatant lies that she has in her baggage from over many years.

For a party that always told the people how fiscally responsible they are, the total costs of our totally incompetent ex right wingnut government are still mounting at an insane rate. :-O

Federal government spent $100 million on now abandoned nuclear waste dump near Kimba.

I wonder what other additional costs to the taxpayer will come to light next from that mob's chaotic time in office.

It looks like the Greens finally worked out that if they didn't support the measure then they'd lose seats.

After a months-long standoff and $3bn in extra funding, the Prime Minister’s election promise has sailed through the parliament.

They were expecting thousands to turn up, but only a few hundred turned up to the mighty white rallies pushing for a No vote.

No voters hold unofficial referendum rallies in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.

More right wing skullduggery uncovered.

Home Affairs secretary Mike Pezzullo referred to public service commissioner over texts to Liberal powerbroker.

At least this moron decided to do the correct thing for a change of doing the usual right wing job.

A powerful public servant has agreed to stand aside after a number of texts between him and a Liberal Party powerbroker were made public.

This is getting beyond ridiculous now and so much like U.S. right wing moronic political stupidity that it's getting beyond a joke here as these greedy hypocritical morons that let (if not encouraged) the little leprechaun to get away with what he was doing right from the beginning (just ask the Mad Abbott, SloMo and Voldemort, that's if they'd give an honest answer).

‘Fines or jail’: Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie issues fresh warning to former Qantas boss.

The right just seems to be getting even bigger hypocrites by the day.

The last right wing controlled state is teetering on the edge.

Tasmania's government is crumbling. Would an election be fatal to Liberals' nine years in power?

Meanwhile it looks like our previous right wing federal government dropped the ball here as well and now they're calling on reforming laws that they themselves introduced back in 2017.

Beijing-owned businesses using Australian law firms to advise on takeovers of critical projects.

The final report on this 1 should be interesting.

Voldemort has been caught short yet again for his performance (or there lack of) while he was a government minister.

Peter Dutton has been slammed by the federal government following the release of damning findings in a review of Australia’s “broken” immigration system.

All from a bloke that reckons that he maybe suffering PTDS after a brief period of being a copper. Personally I reckon that he's suffering from a lot worse than that.

Another stupid decision by the ex SloMo government has been reversed and welcomed.

Australia to re-join UN's green climate fund after Morrison government withdrawal.

Australia will once again tip money into the United Nations-led Green Climate Fund, reversing the former Morrison government's decision to pull out of it in 2018.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong confirmed Australia will make a "modest" contribution to the fund this year.

The climate fund takes donations from developed countries and uses the money to finance climate mitigation and adaptation projects in developing countries.

It has raised more than $20 billion in two funding rounds since it was launched in 2015, and while Australia contributed to the first round, it and the United States were notable absences in the second.

Funding includes both grants and concessional loans, and is distributed by a board made up of both developed and developing countries.

Projects funded in recent years include a $10m solar project in Fiji and a $47m project to help Tonga shift away from a reliance on diesel-generated power......

And SloMo and his mob just wasted those $'s pork barreling instead.

To our nation's shame and the breakdown of it.

Beyond No, here’s what we know about the Voice results.

It just keeps on getting worse for our incompetent ex right wing government's bungled Snowy 2.0 project.

A sinkhole, toxic gas and the $2 billion mistake behind Snowy 2.0's blowout.

t was the start of night shift when the tunnel began filling with gas.

Workers going underground at the Snowy 2.0 site say they were told that there was nothing to worry about, that it was just water vapour.

But on that Saturday in early July, chemistry had finally caught up with them.

The previous year, the giant machine digging tunnels for the project had caused a sinkhole to open up.

Workers had spent seven months trying to stabilise the nearby ground, pumping in thousands of litres of grout, cement and polyurethane foam.

Now that foam had triggered a chemical reaction, producing toxic gas.

Snowy Hydro, owned by the federal government, has never disclosed this safety breach, even as it pumps out highly produced videos and press releases.

It was not meant to be this hard.

The pumped hydro project, trumpeted as a grand "nation-building" scheme, was first estimated to cost just $2 billion. It's blown out to $12 billion.

It was expected to produce its first power next year — now, it won't be keeping any lights on for at least another four years.

Snowy Hydro has revealed to Four Corners as much as $2 billion of this blowout can be blamed on the stalled tunnel boring machine they call Florence.

Its 15km journey below Kosciuszko National Park should be well underway by now, but it's gone just 150m.

Insiders say warnings were ignored — Florence was doomed from the start.....

The slime, Bruce Lehrmann, who was at the center of the Brittany Higgins rape in parliament house scandal that our ex right wing government tried so hard to cover up has apparently been at it yet again, but he also tried very hard to keep hard not to be named.

Bruce Lehrmann named as man charged with alleged rape of woman in Toowoomba.

That will now pretty much kill a few legal cases he has running against others over the Brittany scandal to try and make millions out of them.

There'll also be a few right wing pollies (current and ex) that now have further egg on their faces after this news.

...There'll also be a few right wing pollies (current and ex) that now have further egg on their faces after this news.

Now you have to wonder what they knew of this latest case and when as is this why certain members of the right suddenly dropped their legal proceedings on the original case matter a while back?

Bruce Lehrmann rape charges heading back to court as timing of alleged offences revealed.

The High Court rules that the previous right wing's inhuman policy must be changed.
