Scott Morrison should buy a whole book of lotto tickets, but he should probably pass it on to those SAS blokes. They’re gonna need some of his luck when the war crimes prosecutors come for them. As awkward as it must be for Smoko right now, having to suddenly switch from the politician’s reflexive fetishising of the ANZAC legend to mumbling “something-something-war-crimes” and “oh-noes-I-think-I-hear-my-mother-calling,” he’s still better off with the news cycle churning on thirty-nine state-sponsored murders by our not so fucking special forces than he might otherwise be.
"the lack of transparency and accountability....." it seems to be a characteristic of the LNP government under ScottyfromMarketing. With regard to the War criminals, I would prefer to see them tried in the Hague rather than any Australian investigation given how poorly our agencies to when they investigate themselves. I also see the Fairfax media scored the worse possible take on these murders with their "we sent them to Afghanistan to kill people so why are we investigating this?" There was no shortage of folk available to point out the difference between murdering civilians and killing enemy soldiers. Today I am very over the shiffuckery of our RWNJ government, press and society in general.
Gosh, John: You are quick off the mark. I'm in Cobar in the NSW central west - returning home from several days in Broken Hill. After a 42 degree day (wandering the old cemetery almost in a daze - hunting possible graves of two older siblings of my grand-father both born and died within months or days in the early mid-ish 1880s - grand-father born 1890 in Parkes!Then to new spic-and-span Oasis Motel for shower and some air-con reviver - reading Michael West's bombshell exposé of Scott Morrison's political/workplace deviance - and hey - me, too, in my comment on that Pearls&Irritations site where I read it - drawing that on-water-matters secrecy line as well. In any decent/half-way decent democracy - Morrison would be swept from his office (no wonder he sees little wrong with Charles Christian Porter and Alan Tudge remaining in their positions - he's as corrupt as them)!
Fuck I love pissed off JB. And this one is seething. Justifiably so. Git ‘em Birmingham
