Keep in mind, if ICAC finds anyone guilty while they are in office, they lose it all, like their pensions, govt office, etc. Not so if they are out, apparently. So what does bailing now say? What message does it send?

beetrooter barney has been running around bad mouthing the NSW ICAC but if there was a federal one he’d be toast not to mention quite a few govt front benchers.
 
I think Barnaby just likes to hear the sound of his own voice sometimes.

Does anyone here have an opinion about the Juice Media videos? I like them but I do wonder about their level of popularity whether it's a niche group of followers or do they have wider appeal?
 
They are niche... but it's a big niche, and getting bigger. I like 'em.

I guess so but places like australian politics on Reddit ban the videos... "you can't post satire" apparently.

Any thoughts on AUKUS?

The French subs were nuclear subs we just asked them to do the hard bit and remove all the nuclear bits and stick diesel engines into them.
 
r/AustralianPolitics are VERY right wing. Can't even post FJs stuff, when he's serious.

I think I said elsewhere I like the Quad agreement because it unites (putative) democracies against the CCP which most certainly doesn't. AUKWD, not a fan, perhaps an evil necessity.

Ah yes. The best way to deal with corruption is to suppress all talk of it.

It's disturbing how so many people are ok with criminal behavior so long as it's their 'side' that's doing it

The Libs walked away from conservatism years ago
 
Hey, I was OK with Obeid and mates getting it in the neck in the early days of ICAC, because an honest govt is a better govt, for all sorts of reasons. The only people suppressing talk is the MSM. The hagiography on these two corrupt people is already in full swing.

Federal ICAC NOW.
 
Agree, a federal commission could spell the end of the Liberal Party, if we're lucky.

Gladys deserves jail time, her negligence and refusal to lead is directly responsible for the thousands of infections we've seen

Bruz deserves jail time for acting like a mafioso

What are your thoughts on the new Premier of NSW and his let the virus run free attitude?
 
Great to see big business finally starting to get the good government they pay for?

Seriously though, hoping the virus kills me quickly and without too much discomfort.
 
Tasmania is starting a three down lockdown from 6pm tonight because of the actions of one selfish man. I hope the lockdown will not have to be extended after Monday.

Yes he breached quarantine, and didn't offer any kind of help with questions when asked by authorities.
