  1. I wouldn't say "incompetence"; I would say capitulation and sycophantic compliance to their overseas masters.

  2.  @A38  : In Australia, just as the US, certain interests promote the Left-Right paradigm to divide and conquer. While these rubes fight amongst themselves, it creates a distraction for those in power to carry out their atrocities unhindered. And the rubes have a short attention span; by the time the next election rolls around, they will have forgotten everything that happened. The rubes still haven't worked out that politics no longer runs on policy, but on personal attack as a further distraction. Many of these rubes can appear to suffer from personality disorders, but they can also be bots paid to muddy the waters. What the rubes never tend to contemplate is why are there pictures of the Clintons socializing with the Trumps? It's all a Hollywood stage act folks.

  3. But understand, there is a reason for all of this. There is a reason Assange is rotting in a Covid infested hellhole for exposing the crimes of the Anglo-American Empire; there is a reason honorable people are prosecuted for exposing the crimes of the corporate imperial state. And it's the same reason Terrorist legislation was introduced in western government's after 9/11; it's the same reason there is a global (5 Eyes) surveillance system including large data storage units (e.g. Utah Data Center) to "take and store everything"; it's the same reason there are militarized police waiting to enforce the orders of the Washington puppets in Canberra. Understand the "War on Terror" is a misnomer; it's actually a corporate war against the people in disguise. In the US, people protesting the Keystone Pipeline have already learned the "Terrorist" legislation introduced after 9/11 is not for terrorists, but for those "recalcitrants" who question the actions of the corporate state. This war began at the turn of the Millennium and has been accelerating ever since. I believe Warren Buffet said it best, “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning”. So get used to an oppressive state with the surveillance system that would put the Stasi to shame; get used to growing inequality specifically designed to create a permanent precariat underclass majority; get used to government institutions (e.g. Medicare, Social Security, Education) being slowly dissolved and privatized to benefit the new corporate state; get used to the accelerating propaganda you see on mainstream media aligning Australia with the Anglo-American Empire in their fascist expansion into independent sovereign states for hegemony and profit. At the end of the day, all honest men looking to be free to expose corruption will be like Snowden; desperately looking for somewhere to hide. What you see now in Australia is just the first step to Plutocratical Techno-Feudalism. So learn from "Witness K" what happens when the Washington puppets in Canberra are forced to act when a whistleblower exposes the crimes of Global Oil & Gas companies that now own western governments. Don't be intentionally ignorant of what are called "Investor State Dispute Settlement" Agreements and learn how corporations now control state judiciaries. It's possibly a little late, but may I suggest you be careful with your personal information from now on. We should have learned from Operation Paperclip those decades ago; welcome to the Rockefeller Western Corporate Fourth Reich.

  4. I admit that Queensland hasn't had the best record; and naming dams after "the Fitzgerald - paper bag" Joe Bjelke-Petersen and "catch me if you can" Russell Hinze didn't help. Ah yes, the old Minister for Racing and the Minister for Police Hinze (no conflict of interest there) ; and you thought ScoMo was criminal when he was holding multiple portfolios.

  5.  @damianjones8300  : The key to solving this problem is for those honorable individuals on the left and the right to come together and work as a collective group. If you haven't noticed over the last 80 years, there have been plutocratic interests working to undermine social alliances and unions. The politicians (puppets of the plutocrats) have done their best to smash these groups and break up unions on behalf of Global Capital. Remember when Reagan pushed the idea of the "Individual"; remember when Thatcher famously said, "There is no such thing as 'Society'"? Remember when Hollywood and the corrupt media made out unions to be a den-of-iniquity? They were setting the people up to be divided-and-conquered. This is not a "Conspiracy Theory"; this is real. In 1975 the US Ambassador (Marshal Green) helped the CIA and MI6 overthrow the Whitlam government because it was attempting to "Buy Back the Farm" from Global Capital. Read the 24 October 2014 article in the Australian "Guardian" titled "The British-American coup that ended Australian independence" and you will see what I mean. Since that Australian day, it has been downhill all the way. Before he died, Malcolm Frazer tried to warn us about the US Empire in his book, "Dangerous Alliances", but very few read his book. The most important tool you can have to understand what is going on is - Know Your Enemy!

  6. But understand Australia is governed by a two-party duopoly. The only two political parties allowed to dominate (by Murdoch) work for the same interests. The only difference is the Labor party is always given enough wiggle room to manipulate the rubes into believing that Labor will work for them - but they won't. Notice how Albo spends most of his time throwing rotten tomatoes at the intended ScoMo target and not a policy in sight; that's how the game is played. That’s how this system gives the illusion of adversarial politics to those poor rubes driven only by their emotions. They get those emotionally driven rubes to continually swing between Labor and Liberal ever few election cycles; and together with a compliant media, that ensures the continuation of the two-party duopoly status quo. It not that Morrison is incompetent (which he is), or that Morrison is an empathy-lacking sociopath (which he is); it's just that the establishment believes to continue this farce unabated; it's now time now to revert to the Labor party for a while. Well, until they rebuild the image of the Liberals for another go in a few years. No don't get too enthusiastic about Albo; he won't be saving Medicare; he won't be recovering those tens of billions stolen by large corporations during Covid relief; he won't be forcing those large corporations to pay their fair share of tax; he won't be implementing the recommendations of the Royal Banking Commission; and he won't be implementing an effective Federal ICAC. The best you can hope for is a few dollars to be thrown at some schools to buy an air conditioner, maybe renovate a building here and there, and possibly a rail-line fixed somewhere to keep some commuters happy. Labor will be allowed to do just enough to keep the rubes believing they live in a democracy. If you wish to understand this scam further, just Google the term, "Political Ratchet".

  7. Speaking about the credibility of "documented" modern history; I would have been interested to hear Carr's comment on the recent attempt by the Canadian parliament to rewrite the parliamentary Hansard when the facts contradicted the narrative?

  8.  @itookallthenames  While Zelenskyy was recently in the Canadian parliament, they must have wanted to make him feel at home. So the Canadian parliament brought a 98 year old member of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician) into parliament and gave him a standing ovation. This gentleman was a Nazi war criminal that had given an oath to the Hitler cause, and had been given residency in Canada around the end of WW2 (similar to Operation Paperclip in the US). When it went public and created a public uproar in Canada, Canadian politicians attempted to rewrite Hansard and shut the media down. The Speaker of the Canadian parliament (Anthony Rota) took the fall on behalf of Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland (Canada's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance) and resigned. I know it was blacked out in Britain and had minimal coverage in the US, but wasn’t this news article on Australian media? There are multiple videos on YouTube but probably without the nuance.

  9. Don't feel bad; it could be worse. You could be a voter in a country that is currently supporting genocide. Or at least, supporting a starvation program designed to instigate ethnic cleansing. Oh wait!, you do live in one of those western countries.

  11. The police representatives and their politicians appear to be so poorly prepared; I wonder if that was intentional? And no one asked the how Barilaro was actually “threatened” or what act actually induced Barilaro’s fake psychological stress. With politicians running from corruption inquiries and low IQ police unquestioningly following their political criminal's orders, the only two things missing here are paper bags full of dollars and the planting a political foreman in the jury trial of a political criminal. Yes, this definitely reminds me of the days of a pre-Fitzgerald Bjelke Peterson and Russ Hinze Queensland. Have you ever considered your own Fitzgerald inquiry to clean out the criminal politicians and corrupt police?

  12. FYI, the only reason we have the current propaganda splurge against China is the US sent all its well-paying jobs to China and 70% of the US GDP depends on the US consumer. The US consumer is now drowning in debt and even at near zero interest rates cannot service any more debt; and now the only direction for interest rates now is up. Combine that Ponzi with the US Empire running out of justification for a 780 billion dollar Defense budget (54% of its tax revenue), and you can see why the US plutocrats are looking for another enemy. And if you think the submarines produced with US and British “technology” will one day belong to Australia, you are too naïve to exist. The 100 billion submarines and the 280 billion missiles we are going to buy from the US Military Industrial Complex and will be pointed at China to protect the sea lanes Australia uses to trade with China? Can you see a problem with the logic behind that strategy? If you wish to understand the real meaning of AusUKUS, just jumble the letters and add the French (F): US.FUK.Aus.

  13. ​ @adamwest1138  : Yea, I miss the days when the National party smuggled their Treasurer into the courts to act as foreman on Bjelke-Petersen's trial. The Fitzgerald Inquiry was like shining a light on a nest of cockroaches; watching them scurry was almost a sport. Having a Queensland police officer (probably Dutton) verbal you until you confessed; those were the days. Nothing like that happens anymore; Queensland today may be honest but it's actually quite dull compared to the gerrymandering Bjelke-Petersen police-state. And then there was old Flo professing her Christianity and baking her pumpkin scones while her husband was running a den of thieves; it's that always the way? (I know Morrison professes to be a Christian, but does Dutton?) No more Terry Lewis (Minister for Police post Hinze) and his criminal associates in the Queensland police force being overtly paid off by Queensland criminals. Well, that's' the criminals that weren't already on the payroll. Unlike most other politicians, they certainly didn't feel the need hide behind the cloak of "Plausible Deniability"; did they? I expect they thought they owned the place so they didn't have to. Speaking about a name from that past, do you remember Joe’s “friend” old Sir Edward Lyons. Lyons was pulled up in his Rolls and taken into custody where he was shown to have a blood-alcohol content of 0.12 by a novice police officer? The duty inspector and supervising sergeant told him to "forget about the matter and take Sir Edward Lyons home". I wonder where that order came from and what ever happened to that police officer. Lyons was also chairman of the Queensland TAB (betting agency for Queensland racing – see Russell Hinze) and a former National Party trustee; Lyons almost did own Queensland. However, you can’t forget about Campbell. He tried to introduce electronic voting; he must have thought the paper version didn't reflect his interests. I suspect Campbell was attempting to replicate the electronic voting in the US; and hasn't that worked so well. Combine electronic voting with gerrymandering and the US Super-delegates and you can dial up the result you want (just ask Debbie Wasserman Schultz). The US has such a "credible" electoral process! If you get a chance, watch the YouTube video "Hacking Democracy".

  15. "What does it serve putting McBride in jail?" What does it serve prosecuting Assange? This ensures others will think twice before exposing the machinery behind, and the crimes of Empire. Just wait until Albo follows the commands of his foreign masters and passes the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill that does not apply to either the politicians or the media; you won't even be able to communicate these atrocities.

  16. When the Attorney General invokes the universal government scam of "National Security" to impede transparency; the same "National Security" these corrupt governments use to prosecute whistleblowers, you know NSW (and probably much of Australia's) corruption goes right to the top. And why did they even bother asking questions of the Crown Solicitor? Nonetheless, it's gratifying watching these political and state militia rats scurrying away from the sinking ship.

  17. There is a mechanism in politics called a "Political Ratchet". It's a tactic used by the Uniparty (Labor & Liberal) to slowly move the Overton Window (perception of political acceptance) in the direction beneficial to the elites. You vote in the Liberals and they implement policies that cause you problems but benefit the elite. Next you vote in Labor that promise to reverse what the Liberals have done, but only manage a partial reversal. Then being disgusted by the apathy and "incompetence" of Labor, you vote in the Liberals and they expand their original policy to swamp the Labor retraction and extend the disaster even further. Again, Labor promise to fix the problem and are voted in to power and again have a weak response to the Liberal policy disaster. You are again disgusted by Labor weak response and again look for an alternative. It's a political ratchet; where both parties work together (Uniparty) to slowly move the perception of political acceptability (Overton Window), while the rubes vote desperately trying to find some political party that will reverse the disaster. Sadly, no such party will ever be allowed onto the ticket; you live in a one party (Uniparty) state. The rubes will continually swap the only two allowed political parties looking for an exist to the disaster that never comes. After a millennium or two they may eventually realize they are incapable of reversing the direction of the country and that they vote in vain. Trump and Rinehart have won. GAME OVER!

  18. Wake Up Australia! Drew Pavlou is just another Zionist CIA agent whose wife works for the National Endowment for Democracy (CIA). These tools of US Empire are ubiquitous in Australia; they can be found on most Australian campuses (e.g. ANU) and they work hand in hand with the Murdoch press.

  19. In a country controlled by foreign interests, the quislings the empire selects to run that vassal are usually compromised in integrity and/or courage. So don't be surprised when a power vacuum is created within that vassal, and this vacuum is usually filled with those who live by the law of the jungle.

  20. Quite correct. The corrupt corporate media has transformed democracy into nothing more than than sleaze manipulating morons.
