Oh I do enjoy it when these murderous scum are unequivocally caught bang to rights and their plots unravel faster than an Andrex toilet roll carried away by a cute labrador. Very satisfying.
The big plus to being caught lying so egregiously is that a few more sheep will have their eyes opened and not just concerning the Voice statement.
Most on here will be well aware of the adage:
How do you know when a politician is lying?
Their lips are moving.
This brings the lies to life. Marvellous. Sadly, the lies can only be seen as cover for something of seriously dangerous intent, something intended to cause great harm to the Australian people.
Given that prison Island Australia appears to be the Davos Deviants testing ground where next for a similar ploy?
The UK, that’s why Sunak has been placed as PM
Is a Prine Minister misleading Parliament as serious in Australia as it is in GB? Should Albanese resign in disgrace??
…it’s only considered misleading if it goes against the approved narrative.
The most pernicious phrases in the English language: “Approved narrative” and “Official narrative”.
Not misleading …. blatantly LYING.
Meanwhile, in neighbouring NZ, take a moment to check out this lying, scummy barsteward PM. Seriously, has nobody confronted him with proof of his own BS yet??

Downright bloody evil.
Bit more evidence of other human pieces of excrement. Of course people were ”forced”. In what realm would anyone other than the rich have the luxury of choosing to have a job or not? Especially if you have dependents. But that’s what they were being told to do through blatant blackmail; ”You either take the jab or we sack you”. Or completely ostracizing people from society… Certainly qualifies as ”forced” in my book.

The lying gits all have selective memory issues
I don’t – and won’t – forget and I certainly will always remember what ‘they’ did and said.
This is partially a good news story. Thanks for covering it. The no Campaign has asked for more detail from the start. In response to this many on the yes side quoted the longer document and more detailed Uluru statement as containing all the detail they were asking for. Then the Yes side turned and said the more detailed document was a conspiracy. The labor government has also pulled modest funding for the building of boarding schools for indigenous students whilst spending hundreds of millions on this “gesture” of a referendum. Its quite likely this proposal will further disempower most australians while pouring money into the activist minority and providing no tangible benefits for the most disadvantaged indigenous australians.
This reminded me of the LIES Heath told the country in 1970 when we were taken into the EEC, with no referendum and the LIES Wilson told the country when he finally held one two years’ later:
It was just a free trade area; there would be no loss of Sovereignty. Meanwhile the Mandarin at the Foreign Office had written a briefing note stating that it was intended to morph the EEC into a Federal Europe and by the time the British people woke up to what was being done, it would be too late to escape.
Fortunately, it wasn’t.
Yes, good points.
I have made the point for many years that Heath should have been hung for his treason.
