Lol - from the shovel

BREAKING: The investigation into the Australia Post CEO has been dropped after it was revealed she actually spent $100 million on watches (not $3k) and gave them to executives living in marginal Liberal electorates. Scott Morrison has apologised for the misunderstanding

She's broken numerous ministerial standards alone, that in itself is worth sacking.

Another smoking gun just came apparent -> https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-14/gladys-berejiklian-daryl-maguire-meeting-roads-project/12764732?utm_medium=social&utm_content=sf238832505&utm_campaign=fb_abc_news&utm_source=m.facebook.com&sf238832505=1&fbclid=IwAR0bOSXdiPCIDUsUucWpOnDBNf-0NS5toq7j-KhLrWo7DZWRR-H42Sa7avg

She is in trouble if perjury is applicable in ICAC proceedings. She said a number of things denying any knowledge, before the counsel assisting played tapes where it is obvious she did know. In New South Wales, perjury is governed by Section 327 of the Crimes Act and carries a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment. 

Agree. My initial impression was that it was just a "she had a long term relationship with him" but there is more to the story.

Gladys #gone soon

Everyone is entitled to a private life.  In this case however the private life is a corrupt politician using his office to line his pockets. She knew about this so the relationship is immaterial really.  In a legal sense she is an accessory.  She can't be Premier.

If that’s the case then a whole new dynamic and then it’s not just the relationship aspect.

This. Agree with Albo’s position.

Fair enough then.  Haven't been following it enough to comment with authority.

It's not about who she may or may not be sleeping with.

It's about what she knew ( recordings played to prove that ) over years & years in the course of that relationship & did or said nothing about it.  Her boyfriend is a slimy,corrupt property developer go between who was lining his pockets. It's complicity

Yeah Dan is the victim with 800 people dead under his watch.

+ 1 here......

Nah.   Her personal life is hers.  Only thing that would swing me is if she either knew or was doing favours for her boyfriend.

I mean what exactly is her crime?  Shagging someone dodgy?  Been there, done that.

Gladys should resign. It's the right thing to do. Shit sticks. 

Even the ABC is going soft on her lol

-PB

Sky news to do just that

Looking forward to the Daily Telegraph headline tmw. No doubt something to do with Sam Burgess. 

Looking forward to the hacks at the presser tomorrow pressing Dan Andrews to resign because it's his fault Gladys has dodgy mates.

She won't resign.  Also knives? Besides the abc I haven't read or heard about it 

Knives out for Gladys lol

Gladys @ ICAC and they're playing private audio conversations, oh to be a fly on the wall in there lol

I'm the same - we have eroded the tax base needlessly but wait for the call for an increase in the regressive GST which hits the poorest amongst us hardest.

Yep as someone that will benefit more than most in terms of paying less income tax, I'll barely notice it and it will not increase my spending one bit

Back in black.

Pretty much. I hope this will be the end of this deficit/surplus rubbish - but I doubt it. It makes sense to not have constant deficits but it also makes sense to spend when needed.

268 billion over 10 years they're giving up in revenue because of these tax cuts.

The debt ceiling has been raised to over a trillion dollars and they're giving away even more money!?

Imagine if this was the ALPs doing 

Not to mention that keeping Seeker/Keeper at their higher rates will do far more for the economy than any tax cut ever would.

-PB

ALP advised him earlier in the year that if you were to have tax cuts bring them forward to July 1 this year when they would give people extra money to spend and keep business going. They will now come in 1/7/2021 after the damage is done. Soon after they will call an early election for August 2021 with the tax sweetener uppermost in people's mind. They had the choice to do it when it was needed for the country but they chose the party over the country.

Nice
