Fighting Fake News with REAL 26/3/21 Is Morrison creating scandals to distract from what's really going on? King Hit the NDIS in secret

 

 Minister for the NDIS Stuart Robert is considering significant changes to the program.

 Murdoch unites with women to threaten tearful Morrison’s leadership

Murdoch unites with women to threaten tearful Morrison’s leadership

Recent events show a prime minister in self-preservation mode and if king-maker Murdoch is also off-side, then Scott Morrison's days at the helm are surely numbered. Managing editor Michelle Pini reports. ...

Morrison's behaviour is indicative of a man that when threatened can only attack. It is emblematic of abusers. And in a prime minister, it is simply unacceptable.

It should be remembered that it was around this time, about a year out from the two previous Federal elections, that Rupert Murdoch intervened, employing his media might, to topple both former sitting prime ministers, Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull (as well as the two Labor ones before that).

If anyone could save Morrison at this juncture, it would be Murdoch of course. But now, well, if even Murdoch has lost the appetite, as recent events would suggest, then Scotty’s days are numbered.

Last night Morrison turned to Costello's Ch9 not Murdoch to explain himself. Also a sign he's on a rocky and no longer solid foundation.

 Parliament House has become a cesspool and Morrison is blocking the drain

The rancidness of our Liberal Party Government, with its recent sex scandals and accusations of rape, starts from the very top and seeps down.

You don’t need me to tell you about all of the scandals, the corruption, the self-serving, insider trading, treachery and dirty double-dealing. IA has been covering it for ages, but let’s just recap some of the highlights.

Reefgate. Angus Taylor. Barnaby Joyce. Michaelia Cash. Sports rorts. Peter Dutton. Christian Porter. Of course, this is not an exhaustive list of the scandals. Forgive me if I missed your favourite.

All of this was common knowledge well before Louise Milligan pricked the Canberra Bubble on Four Corners back in November 2020.

Since then, we’ve learned of the severely problematic, brutal and deeply misogynist frat-boy culture inside Parliament House and heard allegations of rape, assault, sex workers smuggled into MPs offices and debauched “solo sex acts” by a cabal of depraved and privileged young men who think they are born to rule the world via their big swinging dicks.

We, the voters of Australia, are entitled to ask: “What the actual fark is going on?”

The mood within the Liberal Party has shifted, and Morrison is diminished

There's one way to fix the misogynistic behaviour of men at work

By Xanthe Mallet

As a criminologist, I interpret men's sexually aggressive behaviour — whether it is desecrating a women's desk or a sexual assault — as an activity born of a need for power and control, writes Xanthe Mallet

Fury mounts as police reveal another Aboriginal death in custody

Advocates devastated after police reveal today that a man died a week ago when officers went to his Broken Hill house, the fourth Aboriginal death in custody this month.

According to statement, police pursued Mr Sullivan, 37, when he ran from the Silver St property. Soon after, they say, he suffered a "medical episode" and officers tried to resuscitate him, but he was declared dead at Broken Hill Hospital.

Mr Sullivan's death is the latest in a series of recent deaths in custody.

Too many young African-Australians are in jail. Some blame police, but the data tells a different story

African-Australian kids are being locked up at concerning rates and some believe racial profiling by police is to blame. That's unlikely, writes Stephane Shepherd.

While aspects of the model are not new (similar versions have been trialled in Scotland to counter knife violence) the combination of three principles are pivotal to the intervention:

  • 'Focus' requires police to expend their energies and resources on the people and places where offending is likely to occur. By observing higher-risk individuals, they are less likely to cast a wide net and profile law-abiding young people.

  • 'Balance' involves police immediately connecting high-risk young people with trusted service providers and mentors that can address the young person's complex needs and offer them pathways out of crime. This provides a non-punitive intervention for young people who are at-risk for a serious offence.

  • 'Fairness' has police earning the support and legitimacy of the communities that experience the most intervention. This involves relentless outreach, transparency, and an open line of communication with the community to ensure that trust is maintained. Importantly, the community needs to be reassured that policing is held accountable and that avenues for complaint are taken seriously.

    Isn't it time to stop calling these kids "African" but rather the specific area they come from? One label doesn't fit all yet it stereotypes a greater number than are actually involved. After all we don't do the same for "European" immigrants, "Middle Eastern"or Asians. So why do we use the blanket term for Africans?
