Oh No!!! Another Labor SCANDAL!!! Poor Little Bammy won't want to get out of bed!!!

Police raids on Labor votes for rorts scandal - front page of The Australian
Friday, 03 August 2018

The whistleblower, who worked for police minister Lisa Neville, has also been arrested and given the strip-search, shoelaces and drawcord from his trackie dacks confiscation treatment.

Someone at VICPOL might care to read the Al Capone files and see how far US authorities would have gotten without the evidence of his whistle-blowing accountant.

Dodgy Dan and his 40 Thieves trying to lose the Vic election.

Latest news from 'Dodgy Danistan', is that Ashton's Circus Police Farce, shamed out of their snoring slumbers and into furious action by Deborah Glass's richly rewarding competent investigation which turned up a typically huge A.L.P. swamp of dirt, filth and rampant corruption where the A.L.P. Crim-friendly Farce Command and its seeing-eye dog could see absolutely nothing, has forcefully strip-searched a peasant whistleblower formerly on the staff of Police Minister, Lisa Neville.

The poor whistle-blowing peasant wasn't the offender. The peasant wasn't in a sufficiently high office to know at the time, of the wrong and the criminality allegedly being perpetrated, but they strip-searched him anyway, though God knows what compelling evidence they expected to find in any of the particular bodily cavities they investigated. Deborah Glass didn't see the need to delve up to her elbows in the bodily cavities of casual staffers in order to conduct her COMPETENTLY conducted investigation.

No doubt the Police Minister is now waiting with bated breath, for one of her Coppers to knock on her door, don the long rubber glove and issue the dreaded commands: "Bend Over", and "Open wide" (though I understand that "say ahhh", is entirely optional in this particular procedure).

I wonder whether the A.L.P. presstitutes will be as forthcoming with details about the strip-searching of Dodgy Dan, his 6 errant Cabinet Members currently under active criminal investigation and the remaining members of his 40 Thieves, when they are also, in the interests of thoroughness of investigation, strip-searched (or being A.L.P., are they exempt from equal investigative treatment - just like Dodgy Dan's missus is exempt from being breathalysed when she knocks kiddies off pushbikes whilst driving?).

It would be interesting if Dodgy Dan and his Dodgy Cabinet members (Police Minister included) are strip-searched (though you'd want some VERY sturdy rubber gloves before attempting it). With the next State election due in around 4 months time, investigators might find a complete list of all of Dodgy's election promises and plans in there, if they are anything like as full of crap as the last lot of election promises were.

In all of this fuss, we should not lose sight of the fact that the $388,000.00 of taxpayers' hard-earned cash which was allegedly embezzled in the disgraceful and dishonest "red shirts affair" by Dodgy Dan and his 40 Thieves, (and that's not even counting the additional million taxpayer dollars the A.L.P. spent in fighting their own State Ombudsman and trying to stop her investigation) represents around 78 TIMES the amount of the helicopter flight that cost the Liberals Bronwyn Bishop, her job.

Bishop stepped down, but typically, being A.L.P., Dodgy Dan and his 40 Thieves, from the philanthropic goodness of their hearts, are still hard at work, selflessly trough-snouting taxpayers' cash for all they're worth.

Good timing there, Dodgy Dan!

Shorten accepted upgrades at hotel under a human-rights cloud
By RORY CALLINAN 12:00AM AUGUST 8, 2018 376 COMMENTS

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten. Picture: Aaron Francis

Bill Shorten accepted free room upgrades from a hotel business that has been boycotted by public figures over its connection to a monarch who wants to legalise the stoning to death of homosexuals and adulterers.

The federal Opposition Leader accepted six upgrades from the Brisbane-based Royal on the Park, which is owned by the Brunei Investment Agency — the sovereign wealth fund for Brunei — a small Asian monarchy ruled by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.

The sultan, one of the world’s richest men, has promised to introduce sharia-style laws to his kingdom, including a penalty of stoning to death for same-sex relations and adultery, and amputation and whipping for theft.

Human rights activists, reacting to the proposed laws, have successfully called on public figures to boycott hotels owned by the wealth fund, which include the Dorchester in London and the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles.

Mr Shorten’s register of interests reveals he accepted the upgrades when he stayed at the Royal on the Park on May 14 and July 2, 17, 21, 22 and 23.

His acceptance of the upgrades and use of the hotel was criticised this week by human rights campaigner Matthew Woolfe, who runs the Brunei Project, an organisation seeking to raise awareness of human rights issues in Brunei and to prevent persecution of LGBT residents in the kingdom.

“We would be expecting someone in his position if anything would be avoiding anything associated with a country that doesn’t have the best human rights record,’’ said Mr Woolfe, who is banned from Brunei. “It is concerning that he would be basically supporting the interests of the government of Brunei in this regard.”

A spokeswoman for Mr Shorten said the Opposition Leader had not been aware of the hotel’s ownership. “Mr Shorten makes a point of getting out of Canberra and hearing from Australia around the country,’’ she said. “It is impossible to vet every single hotel or motel that he stays in.’’

The spokeswoman declined to confirm whether Mr Shorten’s staff stayed at the hotel, how much the upgrades were worth or whether he would continue to stay at the hotel.

The hotel’s website describes the venue as one of Brisbane’s most iconic, and offers several ranges of rooms including the 84sq m executive suite which is billed out at approximately $518 a night and comes with “complimentary French champagne”. The Australian asked the Royal on the Park why the upgrades were given or if any other politicians had stayed at the venue, but hotel management declined to comment.

Property searches show the hotel property is owned by Sejahtera One (Australia) Pty Ltd, which has one shareholder, the Brunei Investment Agency — Brunei’s sovereign wealth fund. The fund is managed by a board of directors on behalf of the Brunei government, which is controlled by the sultan.

The boycott on the hotels was called after the sultan’s announcement in 2014 that Brunei would phase in the “syariah penal code”.

Celebrities Stephen Fry, Ellen DeGeneres and Virgin Group founder Richard Branson boycotted the hotel group.

Registers of interest show Malcolm Turnbull received a silver incense urn from the sultan, which he surrendered, while Defence Minister Marise Payne declared receiving a book from the sultan earlier this year.

Amnesty International’s 2018 report on Brunei describes the proposed laws as “taking Brunei back to the dark ages”.

The penal code is expected to be rolled out in three parts, with the final phase encompassing a penalty of stoning for same-sex relations potentially due to be introduced within the next two years.

The fartlighters at the Young Liberals are too busy lighting their farts to answer the simple question: Where's the scandal? That's why they mischievously IGNORE it when it's asked or repost months-old articles.

Their childish misdemeanour has been corrected. Maybe they should be more closely supervised.

The politically correct beings are trying to change the subject with off topic SPAMMING and make believe fantasies about their HERO - ME!!!

But back on the TOPIC that gives the Political Correct beings the shudders - the Victorian Red Shirt massive SCANDAL!!!

Dan Andrews is counting the last few weeks of the grossly incompetent imposter Vic Labor Govt.

'Red Shirts' scandal could rip through Victorian Labor's election plans
Luke Henriques-Gomes Sun 5 Aug 2018 06.00 AEST

At the crack of dawn on Thursday morning, police raided the homes of 17 former Victorian Labor party campaign staff. They were arrested and interviewed. No charges were laid. At least one person said he was strip-searched and placed in a holding cell.

“It wasn’t explained to me why I was being strip-searched,” says Jake Finnigan, a former Labor campaign organiser, whose decision to expose the party he had supported his entire life helped set off the police investigation. “I wouldn’t wish anyone else to go through that humiliation.”

With the state election less than four months away, Victoria police’s decision late last month to launch a criminal investigation into Labor’s misuse of taxpayers’ money to pay campaign staff – the “Red Shirts” affair – has sent the state’s already turbulent political landscape into a spin.

That was before anyone’s home was raided.

I wouldn’t wish anyone else to go through that humiliation Jake Finnigan

Some have already compared the spectacle of the raids with former FBI director James Comey’s renewed interest in Hillary Clinton’s email server on the eve of the 2016 US presidential election. It provoked a furious public statement from Labor headquarters on Thursday night. Privately, officials are even more angry.

“You normally see this type of operational conduct applied to drug dealers and bikie gangs,” one senior Victorian Labor source told Guardian Australia. The party’s lawyers had told police on Monday that it would facilitate interviews with organisers and MPs.

The Victorian premier, Daniel Andrews, whose ministers cancelled their news conferences on Thursday, declined to comment the next morning on the investigation, which is examining 21 of his own MPs, including several senior ministers.

Labor MPs use taxpayer-funded expenses to pay thousands to thinktank
Paul Karp Thu 5 Apr 2018 10.53 AEST Last modified on Thu 5 Apr 2018 13.05 AEST

Labor MPs use taxpayer-funded expenses to pay thousands to thinktank.

Five MPs defend spending on ‘institutional subscriptions’ to John Curtin Research Centre magazine.

Five Labor MPs have used their taxpayer-funded publication allowance to pay thousands of dollars to a Labor-aligned thinktank.

The group of MPs have defended charging taxpayers up to $1,000 a year on the basis they bought “institutional subscriptions” to the John Curtin Research Centre’s the Tocsin magazine, which is free online or costs just $50 for individual subscribers.

Bill Shorten has issued the mildest of rebukes by saying he does not expect the subscriptions to continue, but defended his MPs’ use of taxpayer funds on Thursday.

The Daily Telegraph revealed, and documents held by the Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority confirm, that:

Labor’s consumer affairs spokesman, Tim Hammond, claimed $1,000 for the the Tocsin from August 2017 to August 2018

Michael Danby charged $2,000 for the Tocsin from May 2017 to May 2019

Kimberley Kitching claimed $1,000 for a subscription to the Tocsin from May 2017 to April 2018

Mike Kelly claimed $909 from June 2017 to May 2018

Peter Khalil claimed $1,818 for the Tocsin in the period July 2017 to July 2019

At a press conference in Queensland Shorten said he understood “the expenditure was approved by ... [the] Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority”.

“But I have to say I don’t expect that subscription to continue,” he said.

The John Curtin Research Centre, a social democratic thinktank, was launched by Shorten in 2017. Hammond, Kitching, Danby and Kelly are on the thinktank’s board of advisers, which also includes Labor’s industry spokesman, Kim Carr.

The five Labor MPs said the Department of Finance was “satisfied the subscription was within parliamentary work expenses guidelines”.

“Members and senators are offered an institutional subscription, not a personal subscription,” they reportedly said.

On Thursday, the Labor senator Jenny McAllister told Sky News the MPs “did check it off with the finance department”.

“It’s a bit hard to comment on the specifics of this particular story, I’m not a subscriber to that publication,” she said. “But I think if they’ve checked it out with the finance department – what else are we to ask our MPs to do?”

Asked about the limits of what could be purchased with the publications allowance, McAllister said MPs have to use their own judgment.

“It’s all very public what you buy, it’s able to be scrutinised by journalists and the public and I think most MPs have an eye to that when they’re making their choices – I certainly do.”

On Thursday, the New Daily reported that 62 federal parliamentarians have claimed a total of $1.1m on Canberra accommodation costs despite also declaring they own homes in the nation’s capital.

Guardian Australia has contacted Hammond, Kitching, Danby, Kelly and Khalil for comment.
