http://www.theage.com.au/federal-po...130-gu1atu.htmlThe Age posted:Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has refused to follow the lead of other world leaders and criticise Donald Trump's harsh new immigration measures, saying he would not "run a commentary on the domestic policies of other countries". There you go. There's the death knell for the libs. Agree all you like with the offshore death camps, nobody likes Trump and nobody with a future wants to look cozy with him. They might dump Turnbull but they won't dump strong borders, and have now successfully wedged themselves. In other news, the libs also doubled the debt since taking power somehow.

"Scott Morrison has declined to criticise Donald Trump’s contentious travel ban, saying it is up to the United States to determine its border control arrangements, and noting the rest of the world is now “catching up” with Australia’s harsh deterrence policies." gently caress me.

I said earlier that I expected to see Trump's policies put in place here over the next ten years, which is the usual length of time Australia follows behind the US. Looks like the LNP jumped aboard the express train with this one.

Nando's franchisees across the country are in open rebellion against head office moves to get them to renovate – or lose their stores for nothing. Many say they have been quoted hundreds of thousands of dollars to renovate their stores, with head office making franchise renewals conditional on renovations.

Most of the stores in WA were updated in the last 18months or so, I assume this is some subset of franchisees

Picture: Annette Dew The Australian12:00AM January 30, 2017Save Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on email Share more... 106 Comments SARAH ELKS Queensland political reporterBrisbane @sarahelks Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has been forced to “encourage” three of her ministers to publicly disclose 27 cash-for-access meetings with businesses at last year’s Labor state conference. Ministerial diaries show 56 companies, including banks, property developers, coal miners, and lobbyists, paid at least $5000 each for 144 meetings with 14 members of Ms Palaszczuk’s cabinet at the Gold Coast event in October, tipping more than $280,000 into the party’s coffers. But Treasurer Curtis Pitt, Education Minister Kate Jones and Domestic Violence Minister Shannon Fentiman initially failed to report 13, 11, and three closed-door meetings respectively. The meetings were disclosed only after questions from The Australian prompted the Premier’s office to scold her ministers for the oversight. Party-related meetings do not have to be disclosed under the rules, but all Labor ministers published the details of their cash-for-access meetings in 2015. “In the interests of transparency, ministerial offices are encouraged to list one-on-one meetings with businesses at the conference as was done for the 2015 conference,” a spokesman for Ms Palaszczuk said. One of Mr Pitt’s previously secret meetings was with Plenary Group, a major infrastructure investor and developer that specialises in public-private partnerships and received a massive contract from the Newman government to build 10 state schools. Mr Pitt also met coal miner TerraCom, major Chinese development company Wanda Ridong, and Suncorp. Audit and advisory giant KPMG’s donation bought the most access of any company, securing 10 meetings with ministers. The firm has been awarded a slew of government contracts under the Palaszczuk government, including being hired to advise on the merger of state-owned power assets, the delivery of the Cross River Rail project, the state’s domestic and family violence services and the previous government’s boot camp program. KPMG’s professional services competitors Ernst & Young and PwC each paid for five meetings with ministers, while Singaporean sugar company Wilmar and accountancy firm Grant Thornton each scored six. Labor’s business observers program was revived in 2015 with Ms Palaszczuk’s blessing after it was axed by former premier Anna Bligh in 2009, following an investigation by The Australian into government integrity. Last year, the $5000 basic package bought companies lunch with Deputy Premier Jackie Trad and federal Labor’s transport spokesman Anthony Albanese on the Friday, dinner with Ms Palaszczuk and her cabinet that night, and breakfast with federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten the following morning. It also included the prized, but brief, one-on-one meetings with cabinet ministers. Ms Trad and Mines Minister Anthony Lynham were in the highest demand, each taking 19 meetings. Eighteen companies paid for access to Energy Minister Mark Bailey, while 16 bought Environment Minister Steven Miles’s time. Businesses missed out on personal meetings with Ms Palaszczuk, Transport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe, and then-police minister Bill Byrne when ministerial business got in the way. Ms Palaszczuk was hosting a domestic violence summit with Ms Fentiman, Mr Hinchliffe was dealing with the unfolding Queensland Rail driver shortage crisis, and Mr Byrne was being briefed about the murder of a Brisbane bus driver. Spokespeople for Mr Pitt and Ms Fentiman said the failure to publish complete diaries was due to an “administrative error”. Ms Jones said her office manager determined that because the meetings were party business, they did not have to be declared under the rules.
