https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/aug/31/peter-dutton-accused-of-misleading-parliament-over-au-pair-visa-saga

quote:

On 27 March, Greens MP Adam Bandt asked Dutton in question time to categorically rule out “any personal connection or any other relationship between you and the intended employer of either of the au pairs.”

Dutton responded: “The answer is yes.”

On Thursday, Guardian Australia revealed Dutton saved an Italian au pair from deportation, who was due to work for a former Queensland police colleague.
Watch as nothing at all comes from this because born to rule fuckos think it's fine for them to poo poo all over the rules, as long as no one else does.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Through all the pain being caused by the current government, the chaos being sown by media personalities with a diminishing reach, and hot European au pairs running rampant around the country with their young Asian girlfriends we can take solace in one thing always being true

one thing that unites all Australians

If I was personally well off and a former pollie that's what I'd do. Sit in an apartment in Paris with a glass of red and dump everything that wouldn't get me sued.


Dutton's gonna get away with his poo poo, but this can't stand. She's refusing to cooperate with police for fucks sake.

Plus lower running costs, higher resale value, and much more growth potential, and you won't need to rebuild the drat thing in a decade's time.

Both plans still suffered expensive backhaul and regional interconnect costs.

Labor NBN was costed at $43 billion and an NBN Co. business plan revised it down to $37.4 billion after they were established. To be funded by the Government to the tune of $30.4 billion with the rest by private investment. It intended to begin paying dividends back to the government in 2021 and be fully paid off by 2034 with return rates of 7.1% and revenue of $21.3 billion by 2021.

The Liberal party initially stated that the Multi-Technology Mix (MTM) would be completed by 2016, however this was changed after the election to 2019 and then again to 2020. The project cost jumped from the Liberal Party's estimated $29.5 billion before the 2013 federal election to $46-56 billion afterwards. NBN Co. said it was on target for $49 billion but now it's $51 billion.

If only we had a federal anti corruption commission. Annual revenue is currently below 600 million per year at the moment I believe.
