Tax negotiations jeopardised as Dutton angers crossbench

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has put a 'cordial relationship' at risk with his eagerness to repeal refugee transfers.

Senator Griff said the government’s rhetoric was “all about creating fear” and that Mr Dutton’s claim about more arrivals was an “outright lie” because the law only applied to asylum seekers already on Manus Island and Nauru.
“Anyone else who goes to Manus or anywhere else is not covered by this bill,” he said.

“At this stage, the minister is effectively spinning misinformation. The law is not a mechanism to open the floodgates to Australia.”

Peter Dutton claims asylum seekers refusing resettlement in the US due to medevac laws

He seems to ignore the 100,000 that came by plane last year and how his concern for asylum seekers drowning is ignored by encouraging boats to go from Africa to South America. Dutton's "floodgates" are 32 people transported here due to the Medevac Bill (ODT)

'He's seriously just gone and made up a number again'

 Medical transfer requests from 50 refugees and asylum seekers are being reviewed by support organisations ahead of a final referral to the government, activists say, disputing Peter Dutton's claim that 250 cases are in the queue.

 Mr Dutton's claim that "two doctors from Nimbin" could bring offshore detainees to Australia ignores the process set up by refugee and asylum-seeker support groups. He's a total farce as a responsible Minister.

"These statements have never been true, and now there is ample evidence on the public record that shows Mr Dutton is not speaking in facts, but scaremongering."

1. And now for the good news… the economy is awful.

   The Australian stock market has been on a tear after taking a thumping late last year, notching up one of the strongest performances in the world. And things will only get better as the global economic news gets worse, writes Ian Verrender.
   
   Global debt now stands at more than $US250 trillion ($360 trillion), more than three times it's level 20 years ago, much of it backed by property.
   Having painted themselves into a corner by issuing so much debt and printing so much cash, central banks, including our own Reserve Bank, are now so frightened about the potentially catastrophic impact of a downturn in either stock or property markets, that they are prepared to do almost anything to avoid it.
   Market values must be maintained.
   It's a great strategy for anyone who owns a home or has a share portfolio. For those who don't, it's a recipe for disaster — or at the very least a widening of inequality and the wealth gap.

    Major newspapers largely leave a new report of sexual assault by Trump off their front pages

   
    The next day, several major newspapers failed to report the story on their front pages, even though it is horrific, detailed, and extremely similar to the accounts of numerous other women. It also echoes comments Trump has made in the past, saying in 2005, “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”
   
   Why didn't it matter that Tony Abbott touched up a female student during his days at University and threatened another woman with a punch to the wall next to her head? Because Mainstream didn't report it when it occurred. The media don't find it editorially important enough. 
   It was denied when it came to light and was defended as "Fake News" back then by people like Bolt, Sheridan and other News Corp hacks and boosters for Abbott. In previous times it was the Catholic Church that helped with the whitewash back then. When it did come to light this century, it was treated as "Fake and Old News" should it have gained traction. 
   The papers in America haven't even put it on the front page when it came to Trump this time around or make even the slightest fuss of it. In Trump's case, it's now acceptable behaviour that won't really sell papers and might lose advertisers. Politics and the Media have combined to make it simple and go away. Media is in the business of selling it's public ratings to its advertisers. 
   As for Boris, bad behaviour has been normalised as it has with Trump, so why amplify it. Mind you if it were any Democrat or Labor politician it would be back as frontpage scandal not to be ignored or filed away as entertainment. Frankly, ratings seem of greater importance to them rather than what any audience thinks. Particularly an audience that really doesn't any longer have much faith in any of their politicians let alone Conservative ones. Politics has become a circus in the interest of those in the job and no longer an interest in the Nation.
   However what is more important in Boris's case is his avoiding any debate with Hunt his competitor for PM before the vote for the top job actually takes place and that too has nothing to do with the country. (ODT)
