Lab-ah
Run by Bill Shorten Joe De Bruyn and the Shoppies Union, the Labor party stands for regaining power and doing whatever the right faction of the caucus wants. Shorten's current strategy is to sit back and watch the Libs eat each other.
Joe De Bruyn is a dutchman who hates dykes.

I was listening to the background briefing documentary on robodebt and Paul Shetler is such a goon:
quote:
Mr Shetler said the approach was typical of the giant Department of Human Services.
"Generally speaking they were difficult to work with and very, very defensive...'nothing is wrong, everything is good, the house is burning down but everything is fine,'" he said.

Centrelink's robo-debt crisis: Who is Hank Jongen?
Newsflash everybody: Hank Jongen is not the boss of Centrelink.
And the public servant who has acted as front man for the "robo-debt" crisis engulfing the nation's welfare system is not in charge of the Centrelink's giant parent department, Human Services, either.
Play Video
Yes, it's easy to get that impression when Mr Jongen is introduced in a TV or radio interview as "the general manager" of Centrelink or the Department of Human Services.
It makes it look or sound like the person at the top, or close to the top, a real decision maker, is fronting the media to defend those decisions, being accountable.
It's an impression that Mr Jongen and his small army of taxpayer-funded spinners do nothing to correct either.
But Mr Jongen is not an operational or policy decision maker. He is a spin doctor, a comms man, a media spokesman, albeit a highly paid one.
Now, it is true that one of his official titles - Mr Jongen has had many, over the years - is general manager.
But there are more than 30 Department of Human Services bureaucrats sporting the title "general manager".
And, no, none of them are the boss either.
Journalists, TV and radio producers are busy people, if someone says they're the general manager of a government department, it doesn't get checked.
But of course, DHS never explicitly claims that Mr Jongen is running the whole show, just that he is "general manager". Sort of sounds like he's the boss, without actually telling a fib.
Clever eh?
We asked DHS if it had ever corrected the record when media outlets referred to Mr Jongen as the boss of the department, or if it was concerned that the public might be getting the wrong end of the stick.
This was the department's response:
"Mr Jongen is a general manager in the Community Engagement Division, and is the department's official spokesperson.
"He represents the department on this basis."
Now, that might be handy for everyone to know. Just so we're all clear on where we stand.
When Mr Jongen invited members of the public to email him "directly", they were invited, implicitly, to believe they were contacting a decision maker. But they were not.
Mr Jongen has been called many things down through the years. Back in the 1990s, he was variously, "National Manager" of Centrelink, national manager, Communication of Centrelink, Assistant Secretary, information and public relations for the Department of Social Security, or sometimes just plain old and more accurately; "spokesman".
But his job has always been more or less the same.
It can be hard to keep up, but more recently, as in mid-2015, Mr Jongen was the general manager, communication, according to the department's annual report.
A year later, his title was simply "departmental spokesman".
For the record, the real boss is Kathryn Campbell, Secretary of the Department of Human Services.
The man responsible for Centrelink's "service delivery" is Grant Tidswell.
Neither of them have been interviewed in the media since the robo-debt crisis erupted.
But why would they, when they have their "general manager" to take the fall instead?

A Turnbull government cabinet minister has been caught out failing to properly declare her financial interests, potentially placing her in “serious contempt” of federal parliament.
Employment Minister Michaelia Cash did not declare a mortgage on a $1.4 million investment property for almost four months – and finally made the disclosure only after questions from Fairfax Media.
Ms Cash bought the house next door to her home in the upmarket Perth suburb of Floreat in early November, property records show.
It’s the fourth house in her portfolio, and second investment property. Ms Cash took almost three months to declare the house but did not declare the new mortgage – both of which are required under the rules.

Well as was shown in the Gold Coast recently it's pretty easy to just buy a house of that price on a whim and kind of just forget to declare it.

I wonder if it is just the women who are not declaring houses or if people are just white anting them. It's Ley and now Cash who have made the news for this and it seems unlikely that they're the only two.
The same journalist who broke the Ley story broke the Bronwyn Bishop story, there's something going on I reckon.

Voters will desert Coalition if deals done with One Nation, former Nationals senator warns
Ron Boswell accuses Arthur Sinodinos of ‘legitimising people voting’ for Pauline Hanson and says Coalition must challenge One Nation or ‘be dragged to the right’
The National party stalwart Ron Boswell has said the industry minister, Arthur Sinodinos, would rue the day that he legitimised Pauline Hanson and warned the Coalition that voters will desert them if they did deals with One Nation.
His comments come as the acting prime minister, Barnaby Joyce, said a country run by One Nation would go down the toilet and criticised Donald Trump’s anti-trade agenda.
Boswell is a former senator who led the National party fight against One Nation during its first incarnation. He retired from the parliament in 2014 with a warning to his party room and the Liberal party that its founder Robert Menzies understood that the Coalition had to govern for the centre.
“I said to my colleagues last week, you stupid bastards, you are governing for two weeks out,” Boswell told Guardian Australia on Tuesday.
“All you are worried about is getting your next piece of legislation through. You’ve got to do that but when Sinodinos said she is nice and she is better than she was, I thought you’ll rue that day.
“Because all you are doing is legitimising people voting for her. Making it safe for people to vote for her.”
Thus far, he has not spoken out about the resurgence of One Nation but he told Guardian Australia he was “really worried” that the conservative side of politics generally were not taking Hanson on.
“I don’t want to be in the same position as the Labor party where they get dragged to the left all the time,” Boswell said. “If we don’t fight her back that’s where we’ll end up. We will be dragged to the right.”
On the same day, Joyce told the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (Abares) that if One Nation was running the country, Australia would go “down the toilet”.
“This is not My Kitchen Rules, this is not Dancing With the Stars, this is running the country,” Joyce said.
“And fundamentally I believe in the common sense of the Australian people ... do you want them to be going out of Indonesia and discussing how to move more product?
“If you come to the conclusion although it might be entertaining...then you have to ask where do you think the nation will go if those individuals are running the country. I can tell you where it will go as an accountant. I will tell you exactly where it is going to go. It is going to go down the toilet.”
Joyce also said the protectionist agenda promoted by Trump was absurd.
“Where does this end? Obviously you become wealthy because nations have traded,” Joyce said.
“Think about what has happened around the globe. Think about where we were in the 1800s and where we are now? Look at you, look at humanity, look where we have got to, the standard of health, the standard of education, the life expectancy. Terrible things that have happened since we started trading with each other in a more open way.”
Boswell welcomed Joyce’s comments on One Nation, saying “I think Barnaby is doing all he can” but he had an agriculture portfolio to manage and the leader’s job.
“When I pushed back [against One Nation] I had a brilliant team, speech writers and writers and that’s all I did but he hasn’t got that time,” Boswell said.
Boswell said Hanson’s agenda was bad for the bush. He said her criticism of immunisation was “straight out of the book on the League of Rights” and if One Nation was governing, Australia would have no fluoride in the water.
He said there could not be anything worse for the bush than One Nation-supported Citizens Initiated Referendum “on the numbers” where citizens can push issues with a general vote.
“What about if you lost live cattle? poo poo no. What about if you lost kangaroo culling? What about abortion? All those things will go but no one ever challenges her,” said Boswell.
He underlined he did not challenge Hanson’s right to be in parliament but he warned against glorifying her and her party.
“She legitimately got into parliament and the bastard that ever put her in jail should be horsewhipped but Barnaby’s saying if these people get in you would be dragged everywhere.
“But I was told and I am hearing it again, she’ll run out of oxygen. Bullshit, she is getting stronger and stronger.”
Boswell acknowledged Coalition members had suggested the government needed her three votes on the Senate crossbenchs for some legislation but he warned former colleagues not to build up the minor party.
“Don’t build something up there, explain it to the people,” he said.
“[Otherwise] you’ll get another backlash this way. People will say hell if I have to deal with a government that is supported by One Nation, I’d rather stay Labor. There will be that backlash against you too and I have seen that happen.
“I saw it in Queensland. When we gave preferences to One Nation the people walked away and said no, we’ll back Labor.”

A line of police blocked the protesters after they climbed Parliament’s stairs and started shouting a short distance from the building’s front door.
The protesters then retreated, but said they would remain in front of the building until the debate, which is scheduled for this afternoon…
The Victorian Government is planning to introduce industry-wide changes, including regulating Uber and scrapping taxi licences.
It has argued the changes will create a more even playing field and better services.
But the taxi union has been critical of the Government’s compensation offer of up to $250,000, saying it does not cover what many drivers originally paid for their licences.
Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said the Government’s compensation scheme was fair.
“There are some that are facing additional financial hardship because of the level of debt they have entered into,” she said.
“There is a $50 million fairness fund which recognises the financial hardship they might be facing.”
