When Australia implemented the Phoenix pay system, and it failed miserably and created countless damage, the conservative government of Stephen Harper then forced in the Phoenix system...and it failed the same as in Australia, and is still causing harm 15 years later.

When Canada suffered corruption from KPMG, who illegallly helped the wealthy offshore their pile of gold to avoid taxes, Australia failed to investigate KPMG for corruption, and now Australia is suffering harm from KPMG.

Canada and Australia just can't stop electing governments that are rubes for corporate criminals.

Dear Aussies, be wiser than Canadians and don't let your government pay off the crooked rich people like Canada did for KPMG crimes. You wisely cancelled Phoenix when it was proven bunk, unlike dumbass Canada.

A quotation from Twain

A strange thing, when one considers it: to wit, the world applies to Czar and System the same moral axioms that have vogue and acceptance in civilized countries! Because, in civilized countries, it is wrong to remove oppressors otherwise than by process of law, it is held that the same rule applies in Russia, where there is no such thing as law — except for our Family. Laws are merely restraints — they have no other function. In civilized countries they restrain all persons, and restrain them all alike, which is fair and righteous; but in Russia such laws as exist make an exception — our Family. We do as we please; we have done as we pleased for centuries. Our common trade has been crime, our common pastime murder, our common beverage blood — the blood of the nation. Upon our heads lie millions of murders. Yet the pious moralist says it is a crime to assassinate us. We and our uncles are a family of cobras set over a hundred and forty million rabbits, whom we torture and murder and feed upon all our days; yet the moralist urges that to kill us is a crime, not a duty.

THE NAME THAT APPEARS 12,000 TIMES IN THE EPSTEIN FILES AND NO ONE WANTS TO SAY

The Rothschild name appears nearly 12,000 times in the Epstein Files. Wexner confirmed under oath that Epstein represented the family. A $25 million contract is in the DOJ documents. Hillary Clinton asked Lady Rothschild for "penance." And the mainstream press looked the other way.

A quotation from Montesquieu

For it is clear that in a monarchy, where the person who executes the laws holds himself above them, less virtue is required than in a popular government, where the person who executes the laws is aware that he himself is subject to them and that he will feel their weight.
 
[Car il est clair que, dans une monarchie, où celui qui fait exécuter les loix se juge au-dessus des loix, on a besoin de moins de vertu que dans un gouvernement populaire, où celui qui fait exécuter les loix, sent qu’il y est soumis lui-même, & qu’il en portera le poids.]

Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) French political philosopher
Spirit of Laws [The Spirit of the Laws; De l’esprit des lois], Book 3, ch. 3 (3.3) (1748) [tr. Stewart (2018)]

WIST Quotations

It’s strange. As a paramedic for 18 years I never felt the need to punish or assault a person who caused harm to another person*.

So I have difficulty understanding why the police should consider it permissible for them to.

Oh, I know why it’s because #ACAB

*including when they assaulted me.
