The greatest risk to our national security is a gormless Deputy PM making life & death decisions based on US sycophancy.
And a PM who has shown little sign of reining him in.
A perfect example of why NO decisions to commit the nation to war should be made without full parliamentary debate. #auspol

When the #robodebt royal commission report was handed down, imagine if victims and their families had been told:
- the #NACC would whitewash the whole episode
- NO government minister would be held to account
- the key criminal - Scott Morrison - would receive the nation's highest honour. #auspol

It’s almost 2yrs since the day Commissioner Catherine Holmes handed down her final report on Robodebt & referred those responsible for criminal prosecution. It was a day we felt like finally something was happening.
I’m so sorry to all victims who are STILL waiting for justice.

Final meeting of the Awards Committee:
'OK, #robodebt was an awful illegal scheme that caused misery to thousands and drove many to suicide.
And #ScottyFromRobodebt has never been held to account.
We know that victims and their families never got justice.
So, how can we publicly insult them?'

The King's Birthday Honours have always favoured privileged men for doing their job. But Scotty didn't just do his job, he
- appointed himself to five others
- did a job on welfare recipients with the horror of #robodebt
- imposed #AUKUS on us
- lied, a lot.
Awarding Morrison is beyond parody.

Scott Morrison will be given Australia’s highest award for service as part of the King’s Birthday honours. The awardee list is currently embargoed, but Crikey has obtained and is choosing to report on it.
Scott Morrison is getting Australia's highest honour despite a laundry list of scandals and embarrassments
Media have been circulated a list of every Australian set to get a King’s Birthday honour. Scott Morrison — whose legacy includes robodebt, multiple ministries and habitual lying — is the latest politician to be given the award.

And when Australia is the second biggest exporter in the world, but over half of the gas exported attracts no royalties, you know big gas is taking the piss!

My latest on the Coalition’s crazy. ‘The Nationals’ demand that the Coalition again support a policy of untested & impossibly costly nuclear energy is, for the urban-based Liberal Party desperately in need of renewal, a vapid form of political suicide’ #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
The Coalition is back together, that may not be a good thing
The critical question is whether the Liberals will succumb to Nationals' demands and constrain Sussan Ley’s promised post-election review.
