Josh Frydenberg

 An MBA from Harvard? Frydenberg should demand his money back.  He couldn't have got things sooo effen wrong when it came to JobKeeper. He allowed accountants with lesser degrees than his scam his tits off. Meanwhile we are discovering more and more that everyone including the drovers dog was telling him "you've got it wrong you dumb motherf......" Isn't it time we had a Federal ICAC to investigate this degree of incompetence?

The Australian Tax Office also warned Frydenberg in July 2020 that big businesses and tax agents were “amending” prior sales records to potentially help them qualify for wage subsidies during the pandemic. It wasn’t until October that the eligibility criteria was tightened. The revelation is contained in a ministerial submission from the ATO’s deputy commissioner, James O’Halloran. It was produced under freedom of information and first reported in the Australian Financial Review.

The Morrison government’s reluctance to reduce and prevent corruption, to shine light in dark places, is not limited to its rejection of a genuine federal integrity commission – it’s also running dead on disclosing corrupt foreign money being invested and laundered here. That was the key local angle in Monday night’s Four Corners story on the Pandora Papers – the government’s failure to deliver on a repeated commitment to introduce a beneficial ownership register.

Molnupiravir pill from Merck.

 Greg Hunt announced Australia has purchased 350,000 doses and heralded it as a great achievement on his part

A five-day course of molnupiravir, the new medicine being hailed as a “huge advance” in the treatment of Covid-19, costs $17.74 to produce, according to a report issued last week by drug pricing experts at the Harvard School of Public Health and King’s College Hospital in London. Merck is charging the U.S. government $712 for the same amount of medicine, or 40 times the price.

  Australia’s unemployment benefit is one of the lowest in the OECD. This isn’t just a by-product of austerity politics — it’s designed to force the unemployed into low-paid, casual work, undermining wages and conditions across the board.

 ‘I behave appropriately at all times’: Premier insists he has always acted with integrity

  I heard  the laziest of Journalists today making out they were "breaking news" when in fact they were manufacturing it. If these incopetents were made to re-sit Journalism 101 they'd simply fail. Not having a clue, what IBAC Vic is doing, they are asking Dan Andrews to speculate on whether or not he's being investigated?  Dan the only sensible person in the room legitimately responded by saying "don't ask me ask IBAC. Have you? No, I don't think so?".

 Needless to say "little" Matthew Guy has jumped on board and declared on Ch9 tonight that he knows. Knows that Dan Andrews "is" being investigated by IBAC. Meanwhile like the journos, he too knows sweet FA and hasn't asked IBAC. What we see is not news but and exercise in fabricating news by dumb ( Mainstream Media ) and even a dumber Matthew Guy.

 Premier Daniel Andrews stood his ground after being linked to an IBAC investigation involving the United Firefighters Union, but the state opposition says he should resign.

Forbes estimates that Trump’s net worth fell by about $US600 million  during the pandemic, leaving him with $US2.5 billion.

 Had Trump simply invested his father's inheritance 45 years ago and done absolutely nothing the self-proclaimed "greatest businessman on the planet" would be worth in the vicinity of $12.5bn. His wealth however is currently generously estimated at $2.5bn and going down. He's left a wake of debt and unpaid taxes behind and even more going forward. DJ Trump is currently living off  the donations of the generosity off his MAGA followers and not paying those owes. 

DJ Trump will go down in history as America's greatest "grifter". Dr Mary Trump his niece, who he's currently suing, warned America but Murdoch and a band of other camp followers  ensured taht there was enough noise she was drowned out.

Donald J. Trump, a businessman, entertainer and then president whose personal brand has always been closely intertwined with his wealth, is no longer considered one of America’s richest people. At least not according to Forbes. The former president was left off the Forbes 400 list of America’s richest people for the first time in a quarter-century, the magazine reported on Tuesday (US time).
