The shut thing is that this 100% isn’t a new thing, it’s just previously it stayed hidden because social media wasn’t a thing.

Why do you think they're so keen to dismiss it is a shrill echo chamber.

Has there been more scandals and more cockups in a goverments term than what is currently happening now? Can't even use the West Coast excuse of them being good at what they do so give them a free pass.

Littleproud, Cormann, Cash, Paladin, Reefgate, the Au Pair affair, MDB cotton farms, Sussan Ley, Stuart Robert, Choppergate. I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten.

If the voters forgive this because LOOK OVER THERE! BROWN PEOPLE!......

I wonder which mate is being considered for this contract?

Labor has threatened to withdraw from a $1bn contract if the Coalition pushes ahead with a controversial plan to privatise the visa processing system before the election.

The opposition has consistently opposed the plan, citing the threat to national security, but the shadow finance minister, Jim Chalmers, and immigration spokesman, Shayne Neumann, have upped the ante by warning, if elected, Labor will examine “all responsible options” if contracts are signed.

The comments are designed to put potential bidders for the $1bn new visa processing system on notice, as well as warn the public service that Labor intends to unwind any deal, in the same way it has signalled it would force the Great Barrier Reef Foundation to return a $443m grant if elected.

The decision to outsource visa processing has sparked alarm from the Community and Public Sector Union and the former immigration department deputy secretary Abul Rizvi, who has warned it will lead to increased automation and “premium” services that could undermine the integrity of the system.

In October Rizvi told Guardian Australia the potential for a private provider to create a fast lane for processing had “frightening” long-term implications, providing an incentive to lower the bar for subjective criteria.

Neumann wrote to the home affairs department noting that phase one of the tender is due to close on Wednesday, with successful tenderers finalised by October, after the election.

On Tuesday Chalmers told Labor caucus the “massive outsourcing of government responsibility” should be opposed, including by warning the public service to write provisions into the contract allowing Labor to junk the policy in government.

Chalmers told Guardian Australia it would “be dodgy in the extreme if the Liberals fast-tracked the process and signed contracts before the election”.

“If contracts are signed, and if we win the election, we are giving notice that we will examine all responsible options then with an eye to keeping this service in public hands,” he said.

So not only did Joe Hockey use his position to push HelloWorld to line his pocket and the Liberal parties treasury budget according to Paul Bongiorno at least 4 more Liberal MPs didn’t declare freebies they received.

The only surprising thing about that revelation is that it is only 4 others.

It’s probably 4 so far...

It's a good thing that the HM's bitch in Yarralumla is a Liberal stooge. A decent person would put this government, and the rest of the country out of our misery. They don't have control of the house and there are so many members of it under a cloud that it's no longer tenable
