It seems that our ex-government has found a fall guy to take the heat for their Robodebt debacle, an ex-munster, alleged sex offender, coverup merchant and an obviously bad lawyer.

Former social services minister Christian Porter takes responsibility for Robodebt failures at royal commission.

The Robodebt inquiry takes another bad turn. Almost a million bucks just thrown away with nothing to show for it. :-O

Taxpayer-funded review that found 'flaws' in Robodebt scheme was discontinued by Department of Human Services, royal commission told.

On this state's level the ex-leader and ex-member of the other half of our right wing coalition government gets treated with kit gloves.

Assault charges against former NSW deputy premier John Barilaro dismissed due to mental health.

I wonder how his mental health is going now with this revelation.

NSW ICAC handed report into bushfire grants, as opposition scrutinise John Barilaro's role.

The slimy little bugger should consider having himself committed.

The federal right wing will not be happy with their remaining 2 state counterparts.

Premiers, chief ministers throw support behind Indigenous Voice to parliament.

Australia’s premiers and chief ministers have formally thrown their support behind the Indigenous Voice to parliament.

Anthony Albanese and the leaders of the six states and territories all signed a bipartisan statement of intent to back the Voice referendum at a national cabinet meeting at Parliament House in Canberra on Friday.

Australians will vote later this year in a referendum which, if successful, will change the Constitution to embed a body to provide advice to the parliament of the day on policies affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

In their statement signed on Friday, the Prime Minister and the premiers and chief ministers said they would commit to working together on the referendum....

How the Robodebt inquiry is going so far in short and it's not good.

The Robodebt Royal Commission is hearing damning evidence of public sector dysfunction. Now it must probe the question of culture.

I'll just quote this little bit.

...She reflected how the then government divided its view of the media between "left wing" and "right wing/more friendly" media in a way that is something to behold.

She recounted how the government dismissed the growing avalanche of stories of people receiving extraordinary assessments of what they owed — often tens of thousands of dollars — because they were being run in the "left-wing" media....

The bold type can be changed to "Murdoch media" and we all know that Rupert wants to run the world (cue Elliot Carver).

Yet another 1 of slimy SloMo's decisions comes back to bite us.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese won't be drawn on the future of NSW PEP-11 gas project.

How many more boundaries has he crossed that we don't yet know about?

Now that's something that will cripple the crooked right who love to indulge in this practice (and it does need to be stopped).

NSW Labor vows to legislate against pork-barrelling in allocation of grants.

Our right wing state government gets caught out yet again with 2 other damning reports being released.

Menindee Lakes water saving project lacked transparency, ignored scientific evidence, study finds.

Barilaro trade appointment had all the hallmarks of 'jobs for the boys', inquiry finds.

Those will not be helpful for them at all with just 7 weeks to go until we vote and things were not looking at all good for them to survive before their release.

Another corrupt slimy right ex state pollie faces court.

Former MP Daryl Maguire fronts Sydney court on visa and migration fraud charges.

Mining billionaire and far right wingnut gets kicked in the guts.

Clive Palmer’s plan for a coal mine near the Great Barrier Reef is rejected.

The government has blocked a planned coal mine because it would endanger the Great Barrier Reef, a decision hailed by environmental groups as historic.

Mining billionaire Clive Palmer’s scheme would have created an open-cut coal mine 10km from the reef, it said, threatening a marine wonder and UNESCO world heritage site that has suffered in recent years from heat-related coral bleaching.

“I have decided that the adverse environmental impacts are simply too great,” Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek said in a video statement.

“The risk of pollution and irreversible damage to the reef is very real,” she said, also citing risks to breeding grounds for fish and to fragile seagrass meadows that feed dugongs, a marine mammal.

The federal government received 9,000 submissions from the public in 10 business days about the planned mine in Queensland, she said, as part of a consultation undertaken before she confirmed an initial proposal made last year to stop the mine.

Responses from the public overwhelmingly opposed the planned Central Queensland Coal Mine....

It's no wonder why the slimy right tried to keep this quiet.

This official history of Australia's role in the 1999 Timor-Leste crisis unpacks our 'military myths'.

...So what's so controversial about the text?

Professor Fernandes said it lies in how the book frames Australia's role in the lead-up to the 1999 Timor-Leste crisis and how this has been portrayed since then.

Rather than presenting Australia as an earnest saviour of Timor-Leste, the book shows an Australia that had a "determination to avoid an independent East Timor" for decades. This was so it could keep its powerful ally Indonesia on side.

"Stockings has unmasked the deep roots of Australian foreign policy, showing how DFAT protected Indonesia's genocidal actions for more than two decades," Professor Fernandes said.

"Prime Minister John Howard and Foreign Minister Alexander Downer were forced to support something they had long tried to prevent – an independent East Timor. Like their predecessors, they refused to contemplate independence for that territory because Australia's diplomats had put 30 years of work into getting control of its oil."...

We all knew that Howard was an untrustworthy slime, but this goes to show that he is even lower than that.

After being chewed up and spat out at the last elections the right is now ignoring 1 of the very reasons that they got wiped out on, even going against something that they themselves set up.

The Coalition will vote against the Safeguards Mechanism for reducing emissions, dashing Labor's hopes of ending the climate wars.

If they keep on with their fossil fuel loving and polluting ways they may not have a party left at all at the next elections, but what else do you expect from a bunch of hypocrites?

Scandal plagued right wing federal MP finally does the right thing.

Liberal Alan Tudge quits politics.

Another loophole that needs to be closed that the right and a mining magnate used to funnel donation funds.

Deal sees payment flow from Gina Rinehart's company Hancock Prospecting to Liberal Party.

Aster 10 years in limbo Thousands of refugees to be granted permanent visas as Labor moves to fulfill election promise.

..From Monday, around 19,000 refugees who arrived in Australia before Operation Sovereign Borders started in 2013 will be able to apply to transition to a permanent Resolution of Status (RoS) visa.

The move affects people who hold Temporary Protection Visas (TPV) and Safe Haven Enterprise Visas (SHEV) which Labor promised to abolish at the last election and have been described as cruel by human rights groups.

Those granted a new visa will have the same rights and benefits as all other permanent residents, and will be immediately eligible for social security payments, access to the NDIS and higher education assistance.

They will also be permitted to apply to become citizens once they meet the necessary citizenship requirements and will be able to sponsor family members to come to Australia....

Not only does that get them off charity, but will also help fill many job vacancies.

Voldemort finally says sorry.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has made a major concession on the 15th anniversary of a historic moment in Australian parliament.

While Pirouette sounds like that his wage freeze party hasn't been looking after the books real well.

The N.S.W. government has issued an urgent warning against a Labor policy it says will cost taxpayers billions of dollars.

What have they been doing all these years while crushing workers into the ground?

I wonder which way Pirouette will spin this time.

Firm engaged to find Dominic Perrottet's brothers summoned to Hills Shire Council inquiry.

But I find what he said very funny.

...Charles and Jean-Claude Perrottet are both factional figures of the Liberal Party in the Hills area.

When asked on Tuesday, Premier Dominic Perrottet said he had not spoken to his brothers.

"Let's be very clear, this is Labor and the Greens playing politics a month out from the election," he said.

As it was a member of his own party blew the lid off of this scandal.

..The inquiry was launched after Liberal MP for Castle Hill Ray Williams alleged members of the NSW Liberal Party had been "paid significant funds" to install new councillors in the Hills area to benefit the development company Toplace.

Mr Williams made the allegations under parliamentary privilege in June, and the inquiry was called six months later....

You can always tell when the end is nigh when they crack and blame the wrong people for their own problems.

Perrottet lashes out at Hills Shire Council inquiry focus on his brothers.

He seems to want to forget that the whistle was blown my his own member who said that the party could not be trusted to conduct an internal investigation.

Oh well in a few weeks time all his problems will be over.

The rot within the right gets further exposed as the election looms closer and this guy is suppose to be the finance minister.

NSW minister Damien Tudehope says he had no idea he held shares in toll giant Transurban.

I wonder if his bookkeeping is as bad as his federal counterpart's was.

And even more right wing corruption is uncovered.

NSW Liberals suspend upper house MP Peter Poulos over leaking of explicit photos.

Oh these elections are going to be fun (for some).
