It’s been a very long year for the prime minister — with the pandemic and subsequent mess of a vaccine rollout to the ongoing climate disaster to majorly pissing off France to just about everything else. And honestly, it can be easy to forget some of the truly batshit crazy things that our national leader did this year — luckily for you, we’ve compiled the worst of them.
" “When those 12 ships turned up in Sydney, all those years ago, it wasn’t a particularly flash day for the people on those vessels either,” he said at a press conference in Queensland at the time. “What that day, to this, demonstrates is how far we’ve come as a country and I think that’s why it’s important to mark it in that way.”
Today Australians are the most incarcerated indigenous peoples on the planet with nearly 500 dead in custody in recent times. Children from the age of ten are currently 90% of children imprisoned by our judicial system that readies them for a life of adult incarceration. 25% of Australians in jails are Indigenous but are only 3% of the total population. It would seems Morrison has far more sympathy for white convicts than he does Aboriginals whose lands were about to be taken over on Jan 26th to see an estimated population of once 750k to be halved.

Biden tells his pet dog "what's his name" to jump and he has. When it comes to human rights it was "what's his name" who sold Tony Abbott's model of how to deal with asylum seekers to the rest of the Western world. Trump listened and now Johnson is too.
A final decision will be made within days on whether to follow the US and launch a full diplomatic boycott in a rebuke of Beijing over its human rights record.

Details of how Peta Credlin came to make a public apology not told. Typical of Murdoch Media and Sky News.
Sky News host Peta Credlin’s apology to the South Sudanese community for comments which incorrectly linked them to a Covid-19 outbreak was a condition of a resolution to a human rights commission complaint against her. On Friday, Credlin issued a four-minute on-air apology for blaming the community for an outbreak in Melbourne and making other harmful comments. Her apology came almost 18 months after the offending statements were broadcast on 26 June 2020. Two individuals, who were also acting on behalf of other members of the community, made a complaint to the Australian Human Rights Commission on 3 November 2020 regarding Credlin and Australian News Channel (ANC), the company which operates Sky News Australia.

The complainants alleged the segments were discriminatory, contrary to s18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, and lodged a complaint on behalf of themselves and “other members of the South Sudanese community in Victoria who are aggrieved by the making and by the making and broadcasting of the Credlin Imputations”.

The ABC has never been under attack more in it's history than it has been in the past 9 years. Budget cut by a $1B and assailed for it's very Statuary existence by and increasingly desperate fascist leaning government on all sides. It's need for lawyers never more evident than when the most litigious government we have seen is made up largely of lawyers itself who are complaining that the ABC has better ones it seems. Henderson is both a lawyer and an ex- journalist who surprised worked for News Corp and the Herald-Sun. Henderson it seems needs to step in and bark as Matthew Guy isn't gaining traction when it comes to anything Media. So it's Henderson with nothing to say does what the LNP does best is attack the ABC.
Lets face it the ABC doesn't have the "privileges" parliamentarians have against defamation and have offices nation wide unlike Henderson. They are the biggest producers of Australian made TV and Radio product in the country and write more contracts than Bills Henderson has ever passed in a year. So, having 50 lawyers employed in multiple offices in house only makes sense. Henderson MP waves a wand when she wants one and it can't be said to be to the taxpayer's advantage. Government cost saving legal history proves she's more likely to be a waster of our money. Peter Dutton certainly wants a legal carte blanche guarantee for parliamentarians. I think the ABC is way way ahead of her when it comes to economic responsibility and efficiency because of the Billion dollar cuts forced on them by the LNP government over the past 8 years. Aunty runs on the equivalent of their 1984 budget.
Henderson can't guarantee that same efficiency or cost/benefit with what comes out of her office today. If she worked at the ABC she wouldn't be getting anywhere the money or staff she has today and would be more closely watched to produce value for money.

Henderson says the ABC’s employment of 50 staff lawyers is “obscene”
and “completely disproportionate” to the broadcaster’s needs.

Our financial analysis of the major earners from the publicly funded jobactive model suggests that it is primarily American-owned multinational corporations who are profiting, in the billions, from the privatised employment services model. The two largest jobactive providers, Max Solutions and APM are both controlled by American investment firms and together account for 56% of the $3.3 billion handed out to employment service providers since its inception in 2015.
