Justice prevails
A useful recap of the Luddite stupidity of the Liberals on the NBN over the years. At the behest of the Murdochracy, of course.

The Coalition has spent the past decade denigrating Kevin Rudd's plan for faster internet. Today, they're enacting it... so it’s worth having a look at what the Liberals have said about fibre to the home over the years.

Coalition tax cuts blasted by former Reserve Bank boss in new ad campaign
Critics of Morrison’s tax cuts, including a Nobel laureate, have come out swinging with a new TV ad
Meanwhile, the progressive think tank, the Australia Institute, is funding the new advertising campaign declaring that tax cuts won’t create jobs or pump prime the economy. The campaign is endorsed by former Reserve Bank governor Bernie Fraser, former Liberal leader John Hewson, Nobel laureate Peter Doherty, the chief executive of the Australian Council of Social Service, Cassandra Goldie, and a number of academic economists and former officials
In statements endorsing the campaign, Fraser said: “The unfolding Covid pandemic is a stark reminder to all policymakers of two fundamental truths: that while many of us work and spend in economies, we all live and die in communities; and, secondly, the most vulnerable groups in those communities are always hit the hardest in major crises like this pandemic.”
Hewson said the government “naively” hoped that tax cuts are good politics, “but they won’t be as they increase inequality and fail to ensure job security and increasing wages with our economy still struggling to exit recession”.
Guardian Australia understands the government has already signed off on the big-ticket items for the looming budget, including tax cuts and infrastructure spending.
Australian Liberal MP Andrew Hastie and
Labor Senator Kimberley Kitching, co-chairs of the Inter-Parliamentary
Alliance on China, said Dr Zenz's findings on the situation in Tibet
were just as alarming as the treatment of Uighurs in Xinjiang.
"Just as the international community was rightly outraged by the details presented in the Xinjiang papers, and the treatment of the Uighur people, they will be just as troubled by this report on forced labour camps in the Tibet Autonomous Region," Hastie and Kitching said in a joint statement.

FAKE NEWS
China forces 500,000 Tibetans into labour camps
China is pushing hundreds of thousands of Tibetans into forced labour camps to to reform 'backward thinking'.
One might ask is this something that has just begun happening? Did the media just discover this new Chinese perversion and did satellites not see the buildings going up? Why have they been so silent all this time and is Hastie's press release regarded as investigative reporting on the part of The AGE. It seems a discovery of political convenience in a world in which very little is a secret.
What's odd is tourists have been going to Tibet for quite some years overland from India and absolutely no mention of this has filtered through until now. Why would that be as they aren't prevented talking to Tibetans in Lhasa?
The technology spying on China is the world's most sophisticated.
Hastie we know has an agenda against what he regards as the godless nation and he's turned to a Dr Adrian Zenz a lecturer at an Evangelical Theological Institution and a senior fellow in China studies at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation
for his information not mentioned by The Age's not so investigative journalists..
The Fulang Gong once a cause for people like Hastie have turned out to be a false one as they were found to be a cult worse than the CCP when it came to "brainwashing". Strange isn't it how they are presenting the very clever Chinese as being very dumb. Particularly when Andrew Hastie MP supports our very brutal Asylum centres that have detained people for up to 11 years and who have been deprived of any communication devices with the outside world. Let's not forget Hastie even denied NZ taking our detainees on human rights grounds.
"Just as the international community was rightly outraged by the details presented in the Xinjiang papers, and the treatment of the Uighur people, they will be just as troubled by this report on forced labour camps in the Tibet Autonomous Region," Hastie and Kitching said in a joint statement.
TURNING WHITE BRUCE PASCOE BROWN
Craig Ruddy, finalist in the Archibald Prize, is just the
latest artist or photographer to face this dilemma. They look at Bruce
Pascoe and see a white man. But they - and their clients and audiences -
really, really want him to seem Aboriginal instead. So how to show this
"Aboriginal author" in the best light? Here's how they did it.
CORONAVIRUS: THE DYING STOPS IN EUROPE. ARE WE MORE IMMUNE THAN THOUGHT?
Something very strange is happening in Europe: there is a
huge second wave of infections - but almost no second wave of deaths.
Has the virus mutated into something safer? Even stranger: Swedish
infectious diseases expert Soo Aleman says research suggests up to 30
per cent of people are already immune, perhaps through having had a
cold. Watch.
