Tbf, the only other thing they could have used that 10million for would be to fund a new bar at a golf club in a liberal electorate so it’s not like we’re loosing out.

Turns out, after 14 years, that Scott Morrison wasn't fired from Tourism Australia for corruptly awarding a $180 million contract to Saatchi, and we should all be ashamed of ourselves for believing that.
Instead, he was fired for lying to Senate Estimates about the existence of the external probity report that he'd claimed proved that he hadn't corruptly awarded the contract. Though tbf when asked at the time he'd told the government that the report proving he hadn't rorted their money was "commercial in confidence" so he couldn't show them.

Some other prick of a senator is giving it the old ‘we had less deaths from Covid than from the flu so we shouldn’t have restrictions’ bullshit.
‘Perhaps people should stay the fuck home, wash their hands and wear a mask when they have the flu, you akubra wearing dickhead’ is what I didn’t respond on Twitter with.

It’s been a great day to bury being an idiot. Dutton let out some refugees because he realised it’s cheaper to have them be productive members of society than keep them in a concentration hotel.
