Are these the same Brethren that the Morrison government awarded massive contracts to during Covid?
This tonight on 4Corners is important viewing - it is my view that the Plymouth Brethren should be investigated for their oppressive practices to members and those who leave the church, and for whether it’s appropriate they are tax exempt and have charity status

Law firms and investors making millions from class actions while victims get just thousands www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...
Barrister charged $5k-an-hour for class action that got workers as little as $10k
They are meant to deliver justice for ordinary Australians, but class actions are being used by law firms to profit at the expense of some of the most vulnerable members of society.

We learnt a lot about Scott Morrison after he was dismissed by Australian voters in May 2022. We continue to learn more, none of it good.

And now, the worst insult to all Australians, Morrison is a King’s Birthday recipient of a Companion of the Order of Australia.

Honouring Scott Morrison makes a mockery of awards system
The fact that every Australian prime minister routinely gets one of these gongs is yet another reason to review our honours system.

Former PM Scott Morrison secretly appointed himself to five ministries, botched vaccine rollout, left Aussies stranded overseas, oversaw Robodebt, and championed AUKUS without transparency.

Now he’s awarded the nation’s highest honour for “eminent service.”

What a disgrace.

The ABC has removed an interview with Nasser Mashni, head for APAN, so The Shot is republishing our interview as a standalone piece.

Listen to this man speak his powerful, human truth. Spread his word, it's being censored by your state broadcaster. Fuck the genocide

Richard Boyle should have been rewarded, not prosecuted.

He did the right thing but paid a huge price.

We need urgent reform & a whistleblower protection authority.

The xbench & I have a bill to establish the authority. The govt should get on with it.

A reminder that Andrew Hastie - despite his natty haircut - is anti-gay marriage & comes from a family of deeply religious creationists, with a father who has quite the track record of patronising women

Young Andrew also isn't helped by the fact he has the intellect of a bag of two week old turnips
Andrew Hastie explains reason he doesn’t agree he “got it wrong” to say that women are not capable of combat roles in the ADF, saying it’s coz he is just being “honest”
Suggests it’s just his own personal misogynistic views
