Trump’s 2025 plan includes a nightmare list of Cabinet picks — and purge of career officials: report | Salon.com

This was always the plan when the end goal is to install a dictatorship and means are regarded as justified. If the goal is to protect Democracy they’re not. The LNP were equally as aggressive in the destruction of the Public Service, the ABC, and other bodies to which heads were once appoined according to merit rather than political affiliation. Branch stacking is a misdemenour when compared to the stacking, and privatisation of Australia’s public institutions from the ground up. The LNP were up for selling the furniture and appointing their cronies everywhere.

Former President Donald Trump’s top allies are preparing to purge potentially thousands of career civil servants and install MAGA loyalists in key administration positions if he wins the 2024 presidential election, according to Axios.

Liberal and Labor leaders must respond to ‘cancerous’ branch stacking
Prominent Liberals Michael Sukkar and Marcus Bastiaan have become embroiled in claims of branch stacking.

If one considers the LNP to be better fighters because they have the IPA, Murdoch and money behind them does that mean they are better governors and organizers than the ALP? Australia would still be a backwater nation corporately owned more than it is now if it weren’t for the ALP. Unfortunately the privatization of everything has resulted in the dysfunction we are witnessing to day in our institutional inability to deal with eithet COVID and Climate Change. The battle for the common good is weakened by the neoliberal institutions we have inherited. (ODT)

August 25, 2020 — 11.59pm View all comments Branch stacking is one of the most unedifying, if not sordid, features of Australian politics. It is a fundamental tool of the factions evident in both Labor and the LNP. Labor has been at it longer, and is better at it. Indeed, Labor factions are more structured, disciplined and effective – LNP factions are more amateurish and aspirational.

This is why the LNP and Peter Costello’s Ch9 went in boots and all with the very old cherry of branch stacking they couldn’t attack the unions deemed squeaky clean by the LNP’s Royal Commission. Branch stacking is what brought us our now very own PM Scott Morrison (ODT)
