This is the Department Peter Dutton controlled I meant didn’t wasn’t it? He had is finger on the pulse of Home Affairs and Immigration didn’t he? Or wishing it was on the pulse of two opers a major decision saying Yes rather than Nope for spud. All forensic examinations by experts reported that these departments were dead and should have been buried. The cause MURDERED by the LNP due to lack of care and policy.
What a fabulous trove The Pezzullo Papers are. The hundreds of recently disclosed text messages sent by the Home Affairs Secretary Mr Michael Pezzullo to a person described as a “Liberal Party powerbroker” are morbidly fascinating. Poor Pezzullo – in a few days he attracted as much public commentary, most of it unflattering, as platoons of traditionally reticent departmental Secretaries would cop in their lifetimes and afterwards.
there is more than enough evidence that the regulation of official behaviour by values and principles, including “stewardship” for Secretaries, and a code of conduct, has been insufficient. Thus, the relevant provisions in the Public Service Act should be thoroughly re-thought with a view to making the rules less ambiguous, possibly more prescriptive and better able to support a non-American kind of public service. ( The Steve Bannon Principle a Partisan Public Service)
Mr Pezzullo’s present prominence is a reminder of the credit he’s been given for his hand in the creation of the Home Affairs portfolio. This may be his gravest mistake as the portfolio contradicts just about every sensible principle of organisation design that can be imagined. It’s as if it had been set up to be the tragic failure it has been. And it’s not as if it is too big – there are many bigger agencies. Nor is too powerful – there are many more powerful, such misplaced concerns likely being agitated by Pezzullo’s pushfulness and willingness to attract attention and create enemies. The real problem is that the portfolio is organisationally nonsensical. Therefore, the Government should take the chance to:
Dutton proves to us when it comes to logic and or reason he lives his life and leads with none. He is after all mr Boomgate and acts before he thinks. According to Waleed Aly
Currently the system has the government allocate money by whatever mechanisms currently exist. It’s the system over which Peter Duttons Coalition itself presided most recently for nine years. The exact system that a No vote would preserve. However according to Dutton “The system is broken” which is the argument you make for change or “Yes”, not for the status quo. But, for whatever reason you might support it, a No vote simply delivers the status quo.
Somewhere amidst the array of tangential arguments surrounding the Voice, the idea took root that governments across Australia spend more than $30 billion a year on Indigenous Australians. The figure isn’t so much a lie as it is misleading. It gives the impression of being the amount spent on programs exclusively for Indigenous Australia, but it’s actually not, Only about $4 – $6 billion answers that description. The rest – outlined in a 2016 Productivity Commission report – is simply the Indigenous share of government spending on all Australians on things like health and education.
The common thread is the trope of special treatment. Perhaps the most persistent criticism of the Voice is that it gives Indigenous Australians an institutional status no one else can have. In this view, it is not a proposal for reconciliation, but for privileging. That’s what the No campaign means when it calls the Voice “divisive” and racial. For some, that objection is limited only to its presence in the Constitution,
The system is in desperate need of some proper advice, perhaps from a representative body of some sort. That’s the promise the Voice holds, really. A kind of rolling audit, admittedly without the authority to compel or punish but, importantly, also without the party-political imperatives. that have over ridden past decisions. According to Aly then, it’s a matter of which auditor you prefer. And in recent times that choice has been PwC or any other corrupt big 4 that Dutton has turned to for the last 9-10 years but not on any account an Indigenous Voice or Black and therefore Racial

Unlike the Australian LNP Modi’s BJP unites the majority Hindu Nationalists in a fanatical rather than Democratic manner.
“Since May, Hindu nationalist militants have killed over 100 Christians in northeastern Manipur, destroying churches and displaying 50,000 people in a brutal campaign of terror.”
Oborne and his co-author do not shy away from warning that the Modi-Hindutva state is showing genocidal urges. “This is a moral emergency and thus far nobody seems to have noticed. US President Joe Biden, supposedly the leader of the free world, recently gave Modi a hero’s welcome in Washington.” Modi’s renaming of the stadium sent an ominous “message that the Indian cricket team represents his own political party – the Bharatiya Jana Party (BJP) – and not the nation as a whole.”

On August 29, 2023, Prigozhin was buried in a small cemetery on the outskirts of the city, next to his father’s grave. No official announcement was made. Newspapers reported on the funeral only after it was over. Twenty to thirty people attended, they reported, only relatives and close friends. Police stalked the perimeter against unexpected guests. Prigozhin did not receive the military salute he was due as the Hero of Russia. But severe traffic jams clogged this part of the city the following day, as Russian patriots streamed in pilgrimage to Prigozhin’s modest grave. A warning for the oligarchs and the fifth column—and perhaps for the rest of us too.

Currently, the Voice has been ramped up as a major racial divide in a country in which the racial divide has existed since 1788. It was only recently that the LNP was insisting Multiculturalism was the nation’s biggest mistake in Australian Immigration in the 70s letting the Lebanese and other non-Anglos in. They now insist we should return to focus on who we let in and Assimilation policies instead.
Remember Australian Education needed to establish a degree in Western Culture and that black arm history not be taught in primary or secondary schools. Dutton made it perfectly clear that Muslims and Africans were unwanted and mocked Pacific Island neighbor’s fears of Climate Change . Boomgate revealed the true nature of the LNP and even showed Morrison the ad-man freaking out. Abbott wanted the return of Knights and Dames and us to be a part of NATO, not the Pacific or Asia. Morrison gave us AUKUS. He saw political advantage in promoting division. He used the Cronulla riots employing fear and bullshit to win his own preselection for the seat of Cook. The LNP has never really welcomed us being a Pacific Nation but has always preferred to see the nation through a European Western and a white Christian lens. Korea in the 50s, Indonesia, and Vietnam were a threat in the 60s, and the Chinese here, and China always a threat this century. Howard even stole Pauline Hanson’s Asian hatred out from under her, My god we had a ALP PM who spoke Chinese for god’s sake.
Division has been central to the LNP’s strategy and tactic and still is in order for them to maintain any political relevance. It’s why fear, fragmentation, and Voting No is so important to them
It has often been suggested that the LNP have always used an underlying fear and insecurity in the general public as a means of securing voting support on the basis that they offer better protection against external and internal threats. Typically, these threats are left vague, yet it is wholly evident that the main stream media is intent on ramping up China as an external threat and Middle East and youth crime gangs as an internal threat. Is Climate Change presented as a threat to our security? Rarely, and usually in an entirely non-systematic manner.

Dutton claims “fraud” has been allowed by indulging in Divisive Indigenous Policies and is now calling for a “Robodebt audit” on the most disadvantaged people in the country
A political figure with a genuine interest in improving the efficiency of Indigenous programs would recognise this. But that’s not Dutton, and that’s not his Indigenous Australians spokeswoman Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, who rejects the need for any Indigenous-specific programs or even an Indigenous affairs portfolio.
The No campaign has already peddled long-debunked lies massively overstating the value of Indigenous programs. That paves the way for the argument that it must be cut back, with an “audit” as the pretext. Notice Dutton’s language: “a travesty to see money taken away from those who are most deserving of it”, compared with those “misappropriating” it; “Australians have worked hard and paid their taxes, expecting that the taxes to be spent in accordance with the law”. That is, this isn’t merely poor policy on the part of governments acting with good intentions, but deliberate criminality — a fraud being perpetrated on taxpayers by malicious actors siphoning money away from “deserving” communities.
While one might wonder why the Coalition allowed this fraud to continue while it was in government, it acts as a rejoinder to the Yes camp’s argument that a Voice to Parliament would enable money to be spent more effectively, by identifying the real problem as deliberate fraud.

It began at $40 B then dropped to $ 30 B the claim by No Campaigners money wasted on Indigenous Australians. However, $26 B was what Indigenous Australians would have received for simply being ordinary Australian citizens from a pool of $550 B. The No campaign exaggerated that 6% was an outrageous exception.
$4 B was allocated for their special needs which now Dutton and Price claim was wasted and needs to be strictly audited. Yes, it sounds like a demand for a Robodebt audit. Well, it certainly wasn’t wasted by Indigenous Australians or the ALP was it!!
But now Dutton says an audit is needed because Ken Wyatt who was Indigenous, supported Yes and resigned from politics was incompetent. While Price is maintaining special allocations or an Indigenous Affairs Dept was never needed anyway. More efficient Government supervision is what is required for a population of which some 80% live below or on the edge of poverty and are worse off than the disabled due to a systemic disregard and lack of opportunity.
The idea of an audit smells exactly like LNP “victim blaming” again. Bill Shorten found organized fraud and misappropriation not among the clients but by the NDIS providers. That it was intentionally disregarded to politically bankrupt the service. Dutton is claiming fraud or incompetence in the Aboriginal Affairs dept. Well, a report just released into Immigration suggested under his watch, organized crime took over and ran amok in the Dept while he sat back and did nothing. The LNP it seems did little or nothing in the way of service in any Ministerial sector of government. Nothing over their nine years but tripled the nation’s dept and are now claiming they alone are, and always were Australia’s better money managers.
Who for a moment believes that Boomgate Racist Dutton has changed his spots?
Wyatt doesn’t say it, but he might as well have: claiming that yet another audit will fix this, from the party that just conducted two dozen of them, is, as the witticism goes, the definition of insanity. But it doesn’t matter to Price and co whether these arguments make sense – only that voters feel a sense of personal aggrievement at the money being spent – wasted – on Indigenous Australians. There is no doubt a small amount of money in this area is being misspent, as it is many areas of government policy, and sometimes for personal or political gain. But as Uluru statement architect Megan Davis wrote on social media this morning, “the ‘audit’ response is status quo”, which is exactly what “No” seeks to maintain.”

And what of guilt or shame that this was partly the work of Marr’s distant relatives? “I feel no guilt for what Reg did,” Marr writes, adding, however, “I can’t argue away the shame that overcame me when I first saw that photograph of Sub-Inspector Uhr in his pompous uniform. I was also intrigued by the shadowy forms of today’s politics emerging from the frontier wars—particularly the still potent belief in many quarters that the Aboriginal people deserve nothing for the continent they lost.

In fairness, having dealt with politicians for years, many are hard-working and well intended. Many will vote for the things which are in the public interest, although it may cost them a few pennies.
When it comes to the sacred cow of property, however, it is hard to see real reform because more than 60% of Australians own their own home. So, there is no money in it, and there are no votes in it, and voting against the interests of most of one’s peers makes the whole damn thing harder, as does the reality of voting with the party line. Imagine a politician taking a policy to the party which would affect the personal finances of so many of their peers.

The longer the burning of fossil fuels goes on, the worse the problem will become. The cost of extracting oil will continue to increase as accessible reserves decrease. When we stop burning oil, all that will be left in the oilfields will be the expensive dregs to extract for making our soap. The sensible approach now would be to encourage the death spiral as quickly as possible. Force the end of fossil fuels for power and preserve as much of our reserves for the rest of society to use. But governments are generally not in the business of forcing huge industries to collapse.
