you hear people talk about how the holocaust didn't just happen, there was a build-up

i'm not exaggerating when i say dutton is a potential hitler and this is one of his mid-rise power moves. i hope he never gets the opportunity to kill millions of people (deporting people to developing nations is as good as a death sentence, the people on top know exactly what is in store from global heating by now, they're just pretending not to) but if he gets that opportunity he will take it

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
On Friday former Labor MP Ernest Wong was advised “to carefully consider” his evidence over the weekend. On Monday it was clear he’d given it no thought at all.

Take the phrase: “Are you sure about that?” For most people facing a corruption inquiry those words provide a very strong clue that something deeply unpleasant is about to be revealed.

But Mr Wong appears to be a slow learner.

He was being grilled at the Independent Commission Against Corruption about whether he’d helped cover up the $100,000 cash donation made to the NSW branch of the party by Chinese billionaire property developer Huang Xiangmo, a banned donor, in 2015.

When asked if he had spoken to a key witness Jonathan Yee about the ICAC inquiry, which is it itself a breach of ICAC regulations and a possible criminal offence, Mr Wong was adamant that he had not. “Are you quite sure about that?” asked counsel assisting Scott Robertson.

With undue alacrity Mr Wong repeated his denials only to be shown notes about a discussion with Mr Yee about planned responses to ICAC. The notes were on Mr Wong’s own phone.

And had he ever asked people to make false declarations claiming they had made donations, when they hadn’t? After his protestations of innocence cue an email popping up on the screen in the hearing room showing he had asked someone to fill out a fake disclosure in 2014.

At times his evidence was so fanciful that even Commissioner Peter Hall appeared nonplussed.

According to Mr Wong, on the night of the infamous Chinese Friends of Labor fundraising dinner it was very late, he’d had a few drinks and as an elected MP he didn’t want to take home a large bag of cash which he claimed had been collected from various donors connected to Mr Yee on the night.

“I myself would never handle a big, sort of like, you know, bag of cash…And then apparently Mr Huang was there and he said that he was going to see Jamie Clements at the head office, you know, probably the next day or so and then he said that he probably would be able to deliver the money,” offered Mr Wong.

"Here was the alleged billionaire offering to do a delivery run with a bag of cash," said the commissioner. Did that strike Mr Wong as unusual?

"Not at all," replied Mr Wong.

Fast forward 18 months to September 2016 when the scheme to hide the true source of the money was unravelling as the NSW Electoral Commission was investigating. Mr Wong asked Kaila Murnain, Jamie Clements' successor, to meet him at the back of Parliament House. He said he wanted to discuss the possible “misinterpretation” of Mr Huang and his bag of $100,000 in cash. He said he didn’t recall her saying, “What the poo poo?”

He denied speaking to Mr Huang about the investigation only to be shown his phone records. Within 15 minutes of the Murnain meeting he’d been on the phone to Mr Huang.

Good to see how corrupt all our politicians are and how we definitely don't need a federal ICAC to deal with it.

Like no poo poo racist bullshit about an outsider menace that is both weak and worthless and to be held only in contempt (we stopped the boats) but also mighty and powerful and threatening society (we deal with the threat of boats every day) is one of the few commonly agreed hallmarks of out and out fascist demagogues.

The research by associate professor Nicholas Biddle found that vote switchers who delivered victory to the Coalition were more likely to be older, women, non-Indigenous, non-university educated and living outside the most disadvantage areas in Australia.

It concluded the election was “partly a story of people leaving the Coalition between November and April, and returning during the election campaign”.

Biddle said the results prove who a person says they’ll vote for on a particular day is far from a perfect predictor of who they’ll end up voting for, meaning “more care and transparency” is needed in examining how polling is adjusted.

The polling for 2016 was actually nearly spot on, it was the breathless idiots who didn't understand Margin of Error and odds who got pantsed.

Also as our good IK hinted and most of us refused to believe at the time, the polling data actually also spotted the 2019 result in Aust as well.

On a National level the polls got primary votes for Labor and the Coalition wrong by 2-3% each, and in Queensland the error was twice that (and well outside the margin of error). There's also the fact the polls were consistently wrong in a way that suggests herding.

The polling data didn't suggest the result at all.
