It is claimed that over 2000 people on unemployment/disability benefits committed suicide over poorly-overseen, computer-generated false debts. We are a small nation, but we punch above our weight when it comes to #bastardry.
Looks like it is back to the future ... liberal party has put Nuclear Power back on the agenda. .
Just like John Howard in 2007 and Tony Abbott in 2017, when are they going to get it that the Australian public aren't supportive.Let's move on to new ideas #auspol #nuclearpower #LiberalPartyofAustralia

Excellent analysis by David Solomon on Dutton’s strategy to shrink, versus Menzies’ strategy to expand, the #LiberalPartyofAustralia #auspol
It's utterly amazing how direct the connections between broad chunks of our mainstream politics are:
- 3 Prime Ministers with direct links to Fascists ( Keating's father was a B.A Santamaria acolyte and Abbott was Santamaria's protege. Howards father was in the New Guard)
- Direct familial connections to Fascist war crimals ( Former Liberal leader in the Federal Senate, Eric Abetz and his brother who is a state MP in WA are related to Otto Abetz who was in charge of the Nazi occupation of France)
- Large numbers of MPs have direct connections to Domestic Catholic Fascist organisations (Every single SDA MP, Katter and several hard right Catholics in the coalition including Barnaby Joyce.)
- Open and self described fascists such as Wilfred Kent Hughes helped found the Liberal Party with Menzies and served as ministers in his government
"Hi #Fakebook, we are an #Australian news outlet that makes over $150,000 on news, (not that that is any of your business or anything). Given that what we publish is in the #publicInterest, how about you pay us off, so the things we publish are less in the public interest."

Woops, did say that aloud?
