Comstar posted:4 Corners has an expose about off shore tax havens tonight. I haven't seen any reference to anyone in Australia or the US mentioned yet. I would think it will impact the election, if any current politicians are mentioned. There was a fair bit about it on ABC24 this morning, 11 million documents released, they were naming people from FIFA, South American druglords, Putin's relatives.. The Australian Tax Office (ATO) is investigating 800 Australian residents named in a massive leak of tax and financial records known as the Panama Papers. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-04/tax-office-investigating-800-australians-in-panama-papers-leak/7296512 e. also Jackie Chan? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-04/unprecedented-leak-of-offshore-financial-records-exposes-secrets/7293524 CATTASTIC fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Apr 4, 2016 |

SMH reporting Kevin Andrews would challenge Turnbull. I find that hard to believe in any multiverse, let alone this one.

MiniSune posted:SMH reporting Kevin Andrews would challenge Turnbull. Yeah this reeks of bullshit. He has zero credibility in his own party - even with the hard Right - after his craven behaviour during the spill. Only possibility is that he's aping Crean's challenge of Gillard, so that the real Right candidate can put their hand up to be considered when the party room meets. It gives their preferred candidate the fig leaf that they didn't directly challenge if it all goes sour.

Re: Carmichael: Queensland's Environment Minister, Dr Stephen Miles, has appeared to have deactivated his Facebook page. Background: Dr Miles was Labor's big ticket environment campaigner and was run in one of Brisbane's most progressive seats, Mount Coot-tha. Mount Coot-tha has consistently high votes for the Greens, LNP candidates are usually from the pro-business side of town, and Labor hasn't done well historically in the area and recent candidate choices like Dr Miles (and Stephen Hegedus for the Federal Division of Ryan) . It's a bit like Melbourne: rich and well-educated. Dr Miles generally does not get given the "unpopular" decisions to announce, either in an attempt to maintain his environmental credentials, his genuine opposition to decisions, or because the Natural Resources and Mines Minister, Dr Anthony Lynham, is much easier for people to hate. Which is why, unsurprisingly, Dr Lynham was the one stuck with making this announcement this morning (and, you know, because mining leases is completely within his portfolio, but don't let facts get in the way of a good rubdown).
