Harassed and bullied....
So long SloMo....
Hasta la vista...
Au revoir...
Adios...
Auf wiedersehen
Etc etc...
The Prime Minister is so terrified of the implications from the Senate’s inquiry into the unlawful removal of Christine Holgate that he has resorted to a brazen attempt to corrupt the process. His government and the Australia Post board have displayed extreme contempt for Parliament and due process by announcing a new CEO literally the day before the Senate hearing that is to resolve the question of Christine Holgate’s resignation and employment status.
Laughable....

She shouldn't have been in that position to begin with. This is what happens when you bow to quotas and employing too many women JUST because they are women.

SloMo has backflipped on his mass vaccination comments...
He originally disagreed with the merits of mass vaccinations...
Similar to the backflip he made when he disagreed with the UKs
version of JobKeeper/Jobseeker....
Then introduced a similar initiative...
He is a weak leader...Call an election SloMo, before everything else turns to shit......
Wont even apologize to Holgate....
Says things got heated in Parliament that day...
Well SloMo, you know what they say about getting out the kitchen
if it gets too hot...
Maybe he should ask Jenny what to do.... :rofl :rofl :rofl

Australia Buries Afghan War Crimes,
Toes U.S. Hostile Line on China

Finian Cunningham
April 15, 2021


The issue of war crimes in Afghanistan renders the Australian government morally compromised in serving as America’s cheerleader, Finian Cunningham writes.

Nearly five months after publishing an explosive inquiry into alleged war crimes in Afghanistan committed by Australian special forces, it is becoming clear that the Canberra government has no intention of bringing any of the perpetrators to justice.

Last November, the long-awaited internal investigation known as the Brereton Report was published which found that dozens of Australian special forces had been involved in unlawful killings of Afghan villagers and detainees, including children. The report limited itself to 39 murder cases, suggesting that the real number of war crimes committed by Australian troops is much larger. They were deployed as part of the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan along with several other NATO and non-NATO nations.

When the Brereton Report was released, there was a lot of handwringing and shame expressed by Australian public figures. However, an Office of Special Investigator set up by the Australian government for the purpose of bringing criminal prosecutions against military members appears to have been sidelined. Indeed Australia’s newly appointed defense minister Peter Dutton and his aides have recently begun a media campaign indicating that, as far as the Brereton Report goes, it will be of no consequence in terms of holding military members to account.


Ironically, the only person facing prosecution from the whole affair is the whistleblower David McBride. The former Australian Defense Force lawyer has been charged with unlawfully disclosing classified information which first brought the issue of war crimes to public attention. He faces up to 50 years in jail if found guilty.

McBride (57) was deployed to Afghanistan on two tours of duty in 2011 and 2013, the period when many of the violations by Australian military occurred. Aware of the criminal allegations against troops, he tried to bring the matter to the notice of senior commanders, but he says he was blocked from doing so. During 2014-16, McBride began leaking what became known as the Afghan Files to Australian media which broadcasted several reports detailing horrific killings. The public controversy prompted the establishment of the inquiry led by Major General Paul Brereton which would take four years to complete.

Ever been in a war or known someone who's been dropped in hostile lands to fight and kill for your freedoms? Murderers? BS! Blame the politicians who sent them there and then bind them with restrictions whilst they fight an enemy who has none.

You're sounding like a 'progressive' virtue signalling leftist, Bobby.

But we are not talking about fighting a war -
we're talking about war crimes -
shooting unarmed prisoners and civilians.
They did that in our names.

NO...
The accusations in the Brereton report only suggest that...
They are unproven accusations which have seen our serving members
sacked from the military without a trial.
The stripping of the Meritorious Unit Citation Award from SAS members
was legitimized by Morrison well before the Brereton Report even came out.
SloMo berates everyone in support of Porter, saying that everyone is innocent
until proven guilty.....but not so apparently when it comes to the SAS....hypcrite
who gobs off without thinking....another sign of a poor leader.....

Shooting unarmed civilians is something the
Nazis did.
