@Qldaah Sergeant Self-Dealer and his family are heavily invested in the extraction businesses. He was born into the Joh Bjelke-Petersen cartel.

From 2021 “ Nationals’ Deputy Leader David Littleproud has the most resources-heavy share portfolio of anyone in the party. He owns shares in BHP, mining company South32, Blue Energy (oil and gas exploration) and Atlas, an iron ore company run by Gina Rinehart, whose Hancock Prospecting acquired it in 2018. He also has shares in Ausenco, an engineering company primarily servicing the resources industry. Littleproud’s dependent children are listed as having BHP and South32 shares.”

I reckon he’d frack his grandmothers grave if there was a quid in it. Dig up one piece of ground, turn it into a wasteland, move on toe the next one.

They let the frackers go to NT because they've already fracked the water table in Queensland.

Revealed: nearly a quarter of federal Nats own mining shares

The parliamentary register of interest reveals five of the 21 Nationals in government have more than a mere philosophical interest in the resources sector.

Been a poorly kep secret for a long time that Scott Morrison’s handling of a major advertising contract when at Tourism Australia was dodgy AF.
Michael West media has been picking through the mostly covered-up trail.

Long, but worthwhile read.

The crux of it though is that Liberal Party lobbying firm, Crosby Textor, got a sweet deal to do research for a advertising company that hadn’t even been awarded the contract yet.

Surprise surprise, the company, M&C Saatchi, got the contract (without a tender process) and then billed Tourism (ie the taxpayer) for the research done by the Liberal party lobby firm.

Liberal Party lobby firm Crosby Textor was awarded a secret contract, not put to tender, when Scott Morrison ran Tourism Australia.

When a report says "#restrictions", replace that word with "#protections". If the sentence still makes sense (it almost always does) then someone is trying to #indoctrinate you.

Hint: It's normally a #corporatist.

Hi,

Have a read of #GameOfMates by #DrCameronMurray to understand how a #cartel, #mafia, #organisedCrime can form over time, with little more than exchanging small #favours (at first).

When it comes to the #media there's a thing called #access, another called #revolvingDoor. Often also a thing called #advertising (many commercial networks get ad revenue from "#defense" contractors.)

Our govt just being in more people via irresponsibly high #immigration levels so industry never see a down day.

#GDP is a terrible measure of an #economy. Our govt know about #GenuineProgressIndicators (aka #GPI) but they choose to help there #banker and #donor #mates in #bigFinance.

A good #book we can recommend is #GameOfMates by #DrCameronMurray, exposing a #cabal of #Aussie #racketeers.
