1/ 103 Advertising/Propaganda contracts.
This year alone the Liberals have issued 103 advertising contracts worth $68M.
The chart below shows the start & end date for each contract. #Auspol #FederalICAC #AlboForPM #ScottyFromMarketing

2/ PEAK PROPAGANDA
Assuming each contract expends its money evenly over the contract duration then we see 'peak propaganda' being reached just prior to the election being called and dropping off at the end of financial year. #ScottyFromPhotoOps

Notes:
š°Many contracts are likely unpublished, so the real numbers are likely significantly higher
š°The data was taken from Austenders using the keyword advertising
š°The daily burn rate was derived by dividing total contract value by the number of days in the contract.

731. Extraordinary stuff from Frydenberg, triumphalist Back in Black back boaster before last #ausvotes. SURELY with a record breaking deficit and covid widening income inequality the sane thing to do is delay or abolish the stage 3 tax cuts. Nope - letās cut tax more!
732. B McKenzie demands the Clean Energy Finance Corporation finance carbon capture & storage research (a fantasy) to sustain coal mining. The mining industry hasnāt done it because it canāt be done. This is AWFUL, & she confirms thereās STILL no bloody plan!
#IndependentsDay!
#IndependentsDay!
733. The fix is in. If carbon capture and storage was viable big fossil fuel companies would have found a way by now. Yet to pretend to act on climate change the Govt INCREASES taxpayer already massive subsidies to the fossil fuel industry.

Prolly worth noting that these Very Stable men are mostly from #Melbourne, but NSN has members in ADE, BRIS, PER, SYD et al & around the country.

I need to vent for a moment, so please bear with me. My grandmother died yesterday. Thankfully it was peaceful, she made it clear that she didn't want heroic measures, so they weren't provided. 1/11

But unfortunately she spent the last year of her life in isolation and, despite what this government may say, this was avoidable. With properly administered quarantine and vaccination systems she could have spent her last days, months, with her family. 2/11
Her friends, her children in Melbourne and Sydney, her grandchildren, her grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren. But thanks to Mr. @ScottMorrisonMP she spent this time in isolation; and I hate him for it. 3/11
Remember when #ScottyWentOnAWarFooting? (No not China, that's a different war.) This was because of his govt's inability to organise the #vaccinerollout.
It was a #ScottyFromMarketing strategy to share blame with states & look like he was DOING SOMETHING. 1/

2/ #ScottyFromDamageControl called for National Cabinet to meet three times a week. Oh, & call in someone from the Navy who's good with logistics. They'd do all the heavy lifting & sort out the #vaccinerollout. Here's a photo illustrating how this works.
3/ Then at the top of the steep hill, he could be triumphant, "I did it! All by myself!"
Except something else has happened...Or gone wrong...
Scotty isn't at the top of the #vaccinerollout hill but he's taken of his marching boots & is no longer on a war footing. š

2/ What is the "Centre for National Resilience"?
Answer: a quarantine centre (Howard Springs)
Yep, the Minister for Announcements &šš©, #ScottyFromMarketing, had a "jazzy name" for it. Always the most important thing in a pandemic & you've stuffed up.

As well as the very ugly hallmarks of the Morrison govt, another one sticks out to me: complacency. 'She'll be right'. From the start of the COVID19 pandemic, there has been complacency, which thankfully, premiers & chief ministers haven't shared. 1/
2/ Complacency that COVID would be a faint memory in six months & life would be completely normal. Complacency, despite advice to the contrary, that expanding current fed quarantine facilities & building new ones, wouldn't be required.
3/ Complacency that once states & territories took on hotel quarantine (I imagine, in part because they didn't trust the fed govt to do what was necessary), they could sit back, relax, & accept accolades. #auspol

2/ Australians involved in the IPL- 11 coaches, including Ricky Pointing, support staff, commentators & umpires - chose to stay in India. Cricket Australia is considering facilitating a charter flight to bring them home.
3/ Yet more than 9000 Australian (non IPL cricket) citizens are believed to be trapped in India. Sean Kelly's piece in the SMH is relevant.

8. Searingly honest and revelatory account of the a good journalistās internal voices on a story like this, and the external constraints on publication. I RELATED BIG TIME.

10. Backgrounder thread by @CroweDM on the NSW Police statement closing its investigation.
Scott Morrison exerted unnecessary force on Jane Malysiak's hands and arm after she jokingly turn her "V" hand sign around, a la Winston Churchill.

In my 20s I had pretty much zero interest in politics. I grew up in Central Qld, surrounded by conservative influences.

Towards the end of the Howard years I began to feel that what he was doing wasnāt right, probably starting when they changed the rules retrospectively in the wharfie dispute. But it was even more troubling when he began adopting Hansonās racist immigration views, and children
Overboard was a shameful chapter in racist dog whistling. I was disappointed that he spent the proceeds of the mining boom on Johnnyās Battlers instead of future proofing our economy and building a sovereign wealth fund. His failure to implement any sort of climate policy was

1/ Without wanting to be unkind, it's evident from looking at Scott Morrison that he's prefers to be a spectator of sport rather than a participant.
When he ran for Cook, he developed a character. A rugby league loving, everyday bloke, a daggy dad.

2/ Morrison hadn't followed league but he learnt about it. He became the Sharkies number 1 ticket holder, wore his scarf, waved it, & drank beers.

The top priority for #ScottyFromMarketingās federal government in 2021 must be to ensure #coronavirus vaccines are available for everyone ASAP after their approval by the TGA.

The first-listed vaccine is the Oxford/AstraZeneca viral vector vaccine. Due to dosing issues in its phase 3 trial, it hasnāt yet been approved for use anywhere, and will likely need several more months of trials before it will be. I doubt Australia will approve it before May.
The next is the Novavax protein vaccine. It is still undergoing phase 3 trials, so we donāt yet know anything about its efficacy and safety. Interim data is expected in Q1 2021; that wonāt be enough for the TGA to approve it. I guess it wonāt be approved in Australia before June.

2. @TimAlberta is a political journo steeped in GOP politics. A must follow, but jeez, writing Bidenās victory analysis before the election makes my Irish bones ache. Lovely piece of writing, and interesting.
3. LOVE IT! Ivanka & Jared work for the Trump Swamp Family. Fine for the boss to maliciously throw baseless mud that Biden is head of a crime family & must be indicted. But tie THEM to Trumpās anti-NY invective & theyāll SUE!!! (Trump canāt be sued for defo while in office.)
1. Rampant political and bureaucratic corruption in Australia DEMANDS a strong #federalicac. The #scottyfromMarketing denial, resistance and delay same tactics from him on banks before the Royal Commission forced on Govt by public pressure. A public duty fail. Latest example.
2. VERY expensive, relentless coverup of Howard Govt corruption at the highest level ongoing by legal intimidation of the Whistleblower of an offical wiretap of East Timor negotiation team on East Timor oil deal crucified.
2. Morrisonās promise of a weak, secret #federalicac is 2 years old and heās now reduced to a ātoo busyā excuse. Public interest, voter enthusiasm be damned. Heād rather look pathetic than fulfill his duty to the people and our democracy. Starting to smell bad.

Our forest lungs burn away every day, methane sublimes in the tundra, oceans warm and die and weāre forced to wander in masks to protect ourselves from smoke and pathogens loosed by their planet-destroying fossil-fuel led frenzy to āadd valueā to their own pockets. #auspol
Welfare systems which could keep people alive (which is the point of an economy) are eschewed in favour of siphoning wealth off to the already-rich. Politicians like Morrison and Coleman suckle at the public purse and avoid their responsibilities. #auspol

So I see weāre having a debate about future economic directionsā¦ Here are a few points for #ScottyFromMarketing to reflect onā¦ Thread
Early this year Cormann, Morrisonās Finance Minister, attacked our govt's stimulus package in the GFC, stating "We will not be pursuing a cash splash in the reckless Rudd-Gillard fashion, no,". Now theyāve adopted this same "reckless" strategy.
Remember our govtās debt during the GFC was supposed to be "unsustainable", but under Morrison, it's five times the size of ours. #MorrisonsGiantDebtCon
1/3 For someone with a brain it's amazing how stupid I can be. Of course I shouldn't give up trying to reason with these idiots/Party cyborgs/ hellbeasts/vampires/maggoty carcasses of moral ineptitude. I've picked a career path that essentially depends on my ability to reason.
2/3 Swearing is very satisfying & a great anger management technique. But if I ever practise human rights law I can hardly use as an argument for why the other side is wrong, 'Because he's a fucking vacant-eyed creep who thinks refugees are some kind of fauna.'
3/3 So I'm going to reform. At the very least I can stop swearing so much. It will be something of a trial to limit my use of the word 'fuck' while #ScottyFromMarketing and his gang remain in power, but I'll certainly give it a good try. If you have a go, you get a go. š¤®#auspol
Morning @ayrestim ask @AlboMP why heās not wearing a mask? School yard bully Albo at HSU when my young daughter wasnāt wearing a mask at reception. Since then sheās been given the shaft from a $68,000 job down to $54 for her 1st welfare payment - how great is hypocrisy!
@ayrestim Sinead bent over backwards volunteering for Labor & sheās shafted from a job after @AlboMP visit to HSU because of her disability & not being the ideal receptionist. Everyone deserves a well paid job! š¤¬#auspol #nswpol #lnpfail
