This government really has no shame.by Kay part 2

Peace not war. So, we will, via our shonky government, provide weapons to aid wars that will create asylum seekers who will then be denied refuge by the government who was instrumental in their displacement.

Tim Costello of World Vision says ‘whatever money we make from this dirty business will be blood money’

Agree with that.

so funny, Shorten promises the ICAC we all want and immediately the IPA releases a statement

you have to click on that image to be able to read it

Geez!

great link that AC

I haven't yet.. but glad you posted it. I'll go through them one at a time later

And where's the AFP and ASIO.. Some of these are supposed to be defence documents aren't they?

And who is responsible.. A file cabinet full of paperwork would be much heavier than an empty file cabinet. Whether it had keys or not.. Yet no-one noticed?.

It's all very odd

And we all know who they’ll go after. It won’t be ScoMo for his appalling proposals, it’ll be the pleb tasked with asset management.

here's an article on Rudd suing the ABC

the more I read about it AC.. the less convinced I am that it was an accident... so many things don't add up

lik the documents being in 3 states.. Brisbane Sydney and Melbourne ( though they haven't actually said if they were at ABC offices in the 3 states )

and that all the documents are national security docs from 2008- 2013 under a Labor Govt.

first they blamed Penny Wong, who now it turns out had nothing to do with it

there has been a leak on Morrison. Abbott and a smear of Kevin Rudd ( which was misleading and incorrect)


was there a smear on Dutton??? I can't remember

and of course no smear on Turnbull

thanks AC.. I didn't have time to read it before we went and am only about half way through it

wow!! what a fluffy story... the flies were buzzing and the dogs were hanging around LOL

One was journalist Michael McKinnon, the ABC's Freedom of Information editor. The other was a bushie who had lived in and travelled to different parts of the country.

McKinnon had been as far as the High Court fighting for documents. He'd been appointed the nation's first FOI editor — by The Australian    — and was clearly committed to documents being published rather than suppressed.


His brother is Allan McKinnon, a deputy secretary of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet who is currently in charge of national security for the Federal Government.      ( what the?? LOL).... wow that leaves me unconvinced



Everyone involved in the process at the ABC agreed that any documents which could endanger public safety or national security if published would not be published.



Instead, we focused on stories which, while embarrassing to certain political figures such as Kevin Rudd, Penny Wong, Scott Morrison and Tony Abbott, were clearly not of any security threat.   


(interesting to note is that the files never even had anything to do with Penny Wong)

Barnaby's in town (just been to Canberra airport). Couldn't drive up to the pick up area outside Arrivals as it was cordoned off.. not sure what that was all about (someone more important than Barnaby arriving?).. had to park in the building (no free minutes, grr).

Dodgy business the filing cabinets with files still in them..

I think my favorite part of the day today was watching Fox News have to interrupt their live coverage of Trump bragging about the economy in order to cover the historic Dow Jones stock market drop.

that's a tweet  I came across today that made me laugh

That's very much like Turnbull blaming Labor for everything 6 years on

The similarites are a bit scary really
