This is a good call, from memory Fraser-McGurk had quite a storied domestic and international junior career and it hasn't clicked at senior level. Obviously it may never. having said that, Victoria reportedly wanted to keep him contracted, so presumably they see something there.

Watched the last session. Head is in serious form. Middling everything

Surprised that Carey hadn't made a ODD ton before. Glad to see he's in some nick. As for the rest, as expected.

Putting to one side all the other nonsense, if you go a full 360 you end up facing exactly where you started.

https://indaily.com.au/news/local/2019/07/04/ombudsmans-maladministration-finding-over-bureaucrats-food-and-booze-spending/ Seem to remember a few of the usual critics of the state government crying foul over Deegan's sacking. Quelle Surprise.

Lol. Want to try again after reading the posts in context?

Realistically, if people continued turning cheeks rather than taking offense at peoples (offensive) deep rooted beliefs southern American states would still have coloured/non-coloured drinking fountains, mandela would still be locked up etc. And yes, standing up to these generated far more...

Almost certainly. But realistically, Bolt, Sky After Dark etc. have x amount of hours to fill each day anyway. They're going to pour something into the outrage machine to fire up the numpties anyway.

Indeed, all evidence is that Turnbull unimpeded would have lead the Liberals to a much greater victory.

This would seem to be a somewhat unfair attempt at having it both ways. Particularly given the Government's confrontation of some of its key backers sacred cows such as Land Tax Amalgamation. Personally I don't like the budget, GST shortfall put the Government in a hardplace, but very...

Honestly, the protection racket between the Pharmacy Guild and Hotel Association with respect to their products entering supermarkets is absurd.

Lol. Aren't there hundreds of posts here about you complaining about Lucas privatising to eradicate the state bank debt? This is a very interesting have cake and eat it to proposition.

The amendment to Land Tax aggregation that Lucas is announcing tonight is going to set the cat amongst the pigeons. For all the ridiculous suggestions as to Lucas on here this is one of the more anti-business amendments to have been suggested by a government in years.

Agree, however there needs to be built ins to ensure that there's a higher minimum threshold to qualify for funding. Fed up with operators in it to make a profit

Disagree about the relevant of that metaphor in these circumstances. It is a movement as a whole, but particularly in the construction industry that thrives on intimidation and lawlessness. It's not a problem with one person, Setka, but the Union and its philosophy as a whole. They're...

Pretty weird how everyone is pretending that the issue is limited to John Setka and not the CFMEU (and realistically the Union movement as a whole).

So you now accept your initial position was misconceived?

Haven't watched Mediawatch since they sacked Stewart Littlemore. And I haven't expressed any views as to whether the raids were a good thing. Just the suggestions that they happened at the order of or involving Dutton were the stuff of paranoid fantasy and betrayed a fundamental...

The AFP do not report to Dutton. Leaf through the Australian Federal Police Act.

14 months is pretty quick for something like this to get committed to trial. By all means take offence at the actual powers themselves, but trying to draw a conspiracy ignores the reality

It reeks of the original leaker being committed for trial and the week after that the CDPP needing to build up a brief. A lot simpler and more likely explanation than the Federal Police disegarding the law and taking instructions as to what to do from politicians.

https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6192028/ex-defence-whistleblower-charged-over-leak-to-journalists-committed-to-stand-trial/ And there's your reason. Note the date of the committal. Odds are this is about crown law reviewing the brief and seeking further evidence.

Direct responsibility =/= a lack of independence. In the same way Corey Wingard is Minister for Police here, SAPOL remains an independent agency. As to the delay, i have no heavenly idea. It would depend on the report, what steps the Police took to assess the report, whether it sought the...

lol Paranoia aside, do you have anything to suggest why your allegation might be true?

Not to dispel a good yarn, but the AFP are an independent agency. They don't do things at the direction of the Federal Government.

Labor's primary vote being terminally stuck around 1/3 of the population is the real story here. They have a fundamental problem in appealing to the population and really need to re-think their basic raison d'etre. In my view a split from the Union movement needs to be seriously considered...

Initial signs are that Shorten is intent on doing a bigger wrecking job to Albanese than Beazley did to Crean.

https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/bill-shorten-may-not-have-abandoned-his-leadership-ambitions-20190530-p51sr4.html Bloody hell, even Tone Abbott feigned at being a team player for longer than a fortnight.
