So she def winked.

Was it clear from what she was saying what the wink was referring to? It seemed she was answering if something had happened between specific dates.

We must be due for a new terror threat soon

Awesome to see the people running the AFP still have zero idea about harm minimisation, backed up by their idiot analogues in the LNP

Commissioner Kershaw said it could lead to ā€œnarco-tourismā€.
ā€œIt’s going to mean that organised crime will want to target this community in particular, because they can move their product quite easily,ā€

" Liberal senator for the ACT, Zed Seselja who said that decriminalisation of such drugs was ā€œa reckless proposal that endangers the lives of Canberra familiesā€."
He said that Canberra would become a ā€œmagnetā€ for drugs gangs if the law was softer in the ACT than elsewhere.

ā€œIt is clear - there is no such thing as personal use of hard drugs,ā€

Glad’s lawyer reportedly asked Barilaro if he had disclosed all his intimate personal relationships.
He said his disclosures were consistent with Ministerial standards

It’s not just the wink, it’s the way she unashamedly, blatantly lied to the committee. They have turned lying in to an artform. She is the PM’s office department secretary. She continually runs cover for the PM’s office. She can look at you stony faced and in her soft voice blatantly lie to your face, without batting an eye (or a wink). You can not ever believe anything that comes out of her mouth again.

She’s not a staffer, she’s a public servant and may have stepped over the line in covering up for the Government.
Gaetjens - also a public servant- had advised the Committee that he had selected which officers would appear , across the areas of expertise in PM&C functions.
That is not the function of a public servant…
It is wrong if public servants are being coached by Ministers.
There is a requirement for a Minister to attend Estimates but their role is to step in if the Committee Qs go beyond its authority .

Crown Royal Commission hands down their report. Finds that Crown is not suitable to hold a casino licence. Then recommends that the govt let them continue to hold it anyway.

The strongest force in the univese is the one which keeps licences in the hands of casinos, as some philosopher on Twitter said…

Very good point raised by Murray Watt on an interview on Sky just now about the way the morrison government operates. They have inner city liberals saying all the right things about climate and covid vax ect on one hand, while at the same time allowing all their National party and far right liberal loonies like Rnnick and Christiansen and others to say the complete opposite. They are a sneaky, loathsome and hopeless government
