Karen Middleton has written a very balanced and slightly heartbreaking article on the incident-that-shall-not-be-named.

💧Michael West Jommy Tee 🌐 I can't update Hurley's wikipedia or add this article as I am in the naughty corner. Can someone please do it. Legacy and all en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hur…

Part 2

From q&a

More (actual independent) experts yelling at politicians so they look sheepish and in trouble please.

Part 1 because of limits

Trees & their hollows are homes for wildlife, including threatened species such as the Gouldian finch, black-footed tree-rat & northern brushtail possum. Today they're being destroyed at Lee Point in Darwin, after @Tanya_Plibersek's approval. Ecocide in action. Environment laws?

The body of a young woman has been found in a unit in North Bondi, NSW.

A 32 year old man believed to be the woman's partner is helping police with their inquiries. He was out on an outstanding arrest warrant

She becomes the 32nd or 33rd woman killed in Australia in 4 months.

The House crossbench has written to the Prime Minister outlining immediate and longer term actions to address violence against women in Australia.

These proposals follow extensive consultation with experts from the sector.

There is of course a serious side to the Hartley/Hurley relationship.

It goes to accountability and whether the GG’s involvement with Hartley in the King’s Cup clouded his judgement regarding subsequent advocacy for the Australian Future Leaders Foundation.

When the grant was rescinded by the Albanese government, after cross bench pressure, the GG should have also been sent packing.

David Hardaker, in Crikey, really hit the nail on head with regard to conflict of interest👇

Think:

* appointing Scott Morrison to multiple ministries (supposedly not his job to tell the Australian public)
* starring in a promotional video for his builder (yes he apologised - inadvertent error on his part)

So let's begin.

My take on the GG - he's probably the worst one since SIr John Kerr.

Hurley's list of indiscretions includes: secrecy, conflict of interests, and poor Vice-Regal practices.

Summary:

The Governor General lied when he claimed he barely knew the man who came calling for $18M in taxpayer money from Scott Morrison - money that went through no probity checks at all

Turns out David Hurley, our departing GG, had actually known the man for many years

G'morning all

Who is this journalist? Some great questioning here by him, especially the question on the missing Bond-villain Hamas lair under Al Shifa that Israel claimed was there, & produced 3D renderings of, but have never actually showed us in real life.

Bravo, for this interviewer 👏🏽👇🏽

Please, Tanya Plibersek, you can STOP this madness, today.

Please, don’t let something so precious be destroyed.

Save Lee Point, it’s an urban biodiversity gem that all should be able to enjoy!

LJ Tim Nope, don’t care about her actions. I’m concerned with the actions of men. We need something done immediately, funding for DV victims to leave, then something mid term such as additional funding to organisations and long term education. Oh and magistrates locking up perpetrators

🧙 MFW 🧙 All our news media require controversy, conflict, prejudice, fear, loathing, hate, greed & jealousy to build modern audiences. Clicks & media are a large part of the problem.

There have now been many well documented examples of Zionists showing up to racist, bigoted, and violent. And we won’t see a single headline reflecting that.

If you want to see how environment ministers are letting down wildlife, this photo tells you all you need to know.

They’re letting developers build across the corridors of Sydney’s last healthy expanding koala colony.

Why can’t Penny Sharpe and Tanya Plibersek stop this?
