Dutton doubles down on Asylum Seeker fibs.
The Immigration Minister, and would be leadership aspirant Peter Dutton maintains that the possible sexual assault of a five year old boy on Manus Island was the underlying cause of a recent disturbance despite the unfounded allegation being directly contradicted by the Chief police officer David Yapu and detainees at the centre.
When questioned by the ABC’s Barrie Cassidy over the veracity of Dutton’s sources when it was revealed that the boy was in fact 10 years old and not five, and willingly entered the centre to seek and receive some food rather than being led away against his will, Dutton lashed out at Cassidy accusing him of “getting his information from twitter.”
Dutton insists that the incident involving the child, and a separate sexual assault, contributed to elevating the “mood” on Manus Island before the violence.
“I have that on very good authority on the island,” he said.
“The parents of the boy involved in the incident might have a different view to the one that you have read off tweets.”
Last week he said: “I think there was concern about why the boy was being led, or for what purpose he was being led, away back into the regional processing centre.”
“I think it’s fair to say that the mood had elevated quite quickly. I think some of the local residents were quite angry about this particular incident and another alleged sexual assault,” he said.
Dutton was asked whether, given the police chief’s account, he now accepted he had got some of the information he shared last week badly wrong.
“No, I do not,” he said.
Dutton, a former cop from Queensland, protested that the police investigation should be allowed to run its course, despite fronting the media last week to offer his version of events that suggested the unrest occurred due asylum seekers enticing the boy to enter the facility ostensibly for nefarious purposes.
Dutton has form in blaming asylum seekers for many of the problems on offshore detention centres, however his blatant lies over this latest incident and attempts to paint asylum seekers as pedophiles have been exposed.
Surely his position must now be untenable.
Whether we see any recourse from a Prime Minister who is already in dire straits remains to be seen, but I doubt it.

Dopey Dutton is liar of the first order … any Minister that can lie on national TV as he did this morning is absolutely disgraceful … and Cassidy called him out very professionally!
I agree, sreb, Surely his position must now be untenable.
Has this government actually done anything yet? Except shift the chairs and play Abide With Me?
Four years in and they are still obsessing about Labor … paranoid or what?
The hilarious thing is that Dutton thinks he’s PM material and the Nutjobs in the LNP agree.
Seems like talcum has more enemies within his own party than over at the opposition.

What was the point of your post? I posted that article a little while ago. It appears to be one of the few articles that explains some of the details behind the NBN disaster.
In early 2009 when the then communications minister, Stephen Conroy, finally caught up with Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on a plane from Sydney to Melbourne,
And why did Conroy have to discuss this on a plane flight? The allegation is that Rudd was so disfunctional that it was the only place Conroy could get Rudds attention to find out what to do next since the 2007 ALP NBN policy was thrown into the bin.
The allegation is that Rudd was so disfunctional
No goldfish, YOUR accusation was that they came up with the NBN on the back of a coaster.
You now claim to have previously posted this article, an article which disproves an allegation you then made!
That truly makes you … NILIAR!
No goldfish, YOUR accusation was that they came up with the NBN on the back of a coaster.
That is what people on social media were saying. Looks like the plane story is correct. Rudd was so dysfunctional people could never get him to spend time to make decisions only a PM could so they caught him on a plane flight
You now claim to have previously posted this article, an article which disproves an allegation you then made!
Yes i posted it on the previous thread. It is the first article i have seen giving details of what lead up to the current NBN. I spent a lot of time hunting for that article. You have a short memory. You even commented on it

Actually the drinks coaster thing could still be true. It would not surprise me at all if Rudd jotted things down on a drinks coaster on that plane flight.
By the way i think your second link is talking about Labors first NBN which they took to the 2007 election. It went out for tender and it went nowhere and then was thrown into the bin.

This morning my abc breakfast clap-trap is running hard on the credlin crowds challenge to the odwyer critter while on maternaty leave, and selling it under the feminista-ism banner. For some perspective, lets crunch some numbers. Starting with my abc clap-trap hosts, trioli gets about 300Kpa/ 6K-week; while sidekick mike gets 150Kpa/ 3K-week; backbenchers get at least 3.5K-week; ministers 10K-plus a week.
So the odwyer critter is `on-leave` and getting 10Kplus a week. On the other end of the scale is checkout chicks that get 15-to-25/hour at junk-job status; those that remain anyway; since the self-checkouts were installed. Unemployed get 250/week.
The real story here is not the `poor` odwyer critter, couched in feminista-ism. The real story is those already ON the gravey-train are getting much more gravey. Our heros at my abc cannot report this; not because of the `pressure` of checking facts, nor the `24hour` newscycle; and definitely NOT because advertising revenue has gone to online monsters like google.
Our heros at my abc cannot report this because they cannot `detect` nor `deduce` it. They are well and truly within the elite `bubble` financially; and are just as out of touch as the corrupt clowntown pricks. Then they `wonder` why others see them as fakenews or how brexit or the-ronald happened.

What has that article got to do with the current NBN? Perhaps i am missing something but that article is talking about the NBN Rudd took to the 2007 election. Labor put it out for tender and after looking at the applications threw them all into the bin.
What has that article got to do with the current NBN?
Because it mentions the ‘expert pane’ you claimed weren’t consulting the Government, and showed them … consulting the Government
As the article mentioned, it was panel who were conducting a “review into the regulatory environment for Australia’s looming National Broadband Network”
And the current NBN grew from that.
NILIAR!
As the article mentioned, it was panel who were conducting a “review into the regulatory environment for Australia’s looming National Broadband Network”
Really? I thought they were reviewing the applications to build the NBN Labor took to the 2007 election. After looking at the applications they threw them in the bin. The looming NBN the article was talking about was going to be one of the current applications. None of them turned out to be acceptable.

Try to keep up.
and these were the ‘experts’ who were guiding Labor, the ones you denied existed.
Did i? I cannot remember. But it sounds like you are claiming some sort of victory. From that Monthly article
When Conroy received the expert panel’s advice, the only way he could get to brief the PM was to jump on that plane with him. In the end it took two flights to get Rudd, Conroy and the advisers onto the same page.
Apparently Rudd was so disfunctional that people could not even get to meet with him to gets things done. Hence the plane flight.
But the author does seem Labor friendly and it is quite possible that a lot of stuff was written down on that beer coaster which the journalist omits. But that article is the only one i have seen which gives some information about what went on and who knows how much of it is true.
I cannot remember.

Ah shane! lt looks like you fell for it.
The real story is NOT 300 or less ku-klux-teabags write crap on fakebook.
The real story IS braying media are trolling imbeciles on fakebook and widening the imbeciles audience tenfold; twentyfold; hundredfold etc Which is also distributing the inbecile race-hate message at similar ratio.
HINT, fairfax probably wasted the mp`s time on this shit too, pestering her for comment etc lt is non-newsworthy clap-trap that was `easy` to produce, and designed to provoke pinkist outrage only.
Shane, have you noticed braying media are making much `gleeful` ado about the-ronalds `first-100-days`. Yes, it is (dumb)traditional, so l won`t accuse aljazeera, bbc and my abc24 clap-trap breakast as being save-the swampers on this one; despite all their swamp saving antics of 100-days ago. l did the maths (4×365) tho, and a 4-year prez-term is 1460-days. l just don`t think the 100 days metric has much value.

Widening someone’s Facebook or audience tenfold even if they are imbeciles, is NOT the issue IMO. It is the telling of lies and then refusing to believe the truth when confronted with it, and I most certainly have not fallen for that !!!

HINT. I think this was reportable and news worthy to point out the quality of the crap coming from the love Australia or Leave Party website.

Trump was the one who guaranteed to the American people in a contract what he would achieve in his first 100 Days if elected. Not the media !! He is simply being held to his own guarantees. While I think 100 days is silly as well, he did the guarantee himself. He is being held to his own standards and comments and I have no problem with the media doing that. We should hold politicians to their promises because they were elected on them.

The deficit has not tripled. It is about the same as what Swan was running. And the deficit was never $10.6B.

Looks like the plane story is true and it is quite likely Rudd jotted down things on that drinks coaster.
Heavens, someone tell tomM!
Why should investors have a tax break to make money, not support the countries income, increase the value of HOMES and deny first home buyers the opportunity to buy
It’s always amazed me that so many tax ‘havens’ are provided to people already with money, in which to gouge even more money from taxpayers, yet those who provide Labour get next to nix in return for their efforts.
And watching what Trump is doing in Merica, if those who voted for him could grasp the meaning, they would be on the the streets with pitch forks.
But, he’s smart, and he garnered the votes of those too slow to realise he’s going to worst for them than any other option on the table.

Correct; it looks like the entire design and build of the plane was thought up on that plane flight and scribbled out on the back of a drinks coaster; who knows what changes were made, when, by whom, or why. As contrasted, say, with: years and years and years of wilfully ignoring that winged flight was required to maintain general (inter)national competitiveness and productivity, but all that the market was interested in/capable of providing was new-old balloony; selling the holey balloon in stages to mum’n’dad investors as a responsible, government-based solution to a known ailing, failing legacy balloon asset/market; buying bits of the formerly-government-owned balloon back, over and over again, at a premium, with a view to stickytaping together a multi-technology winged balloon; contracting for the wings on the balloon and/or the balloon and/or the stickytaping to be maintained at not inconsiderable ongoing cost (more than the builld, err the ‘network(s) connection(s)’, cost(s) over the half-life of the part-project); gratuitously code-sharing rerepurchased balloon parts with studious, holographic distraction-providers while the new-old wings were built piecemeal; presenting a box-kite built around a patched-up balloon, overbudget and overtime and underspecced, as the agile and innovative, Mr Broadband future-proofing we’d all been promised, as ultimate underwriters of an inevitable write-down of an end- product not fit for purpose(s), and known by its architect(s) to be so, by design, ab initio.)

Well there were obviously some changes made otherwise why 2 plane flights? And nobody had any idea how much a FTTP NBN would cost. And the fact that they had to catch Rudd on a plane flight rather than a normal Cabinet meeting shows how disorganised Rudd was
Australians would not be willing to pay $200/month for a internet service no matter how good it was. As usual the ALP does not care about people

Akerman banned me as well.
Akerman published an opinion piece on the lack of manners and how nasty people have become and blaming the left with his usual hysteria.
I decided to keep statistics on his blog of who was nasty in their comments and who was respectable. The result showed that the Left were far more respectable than the right, and I mean by a margin of 6 to 1. However it also showed that the most nasty, bitter, angry, hateful, spiteful and down right horrible person on his blog was himself when he replied to comments.
Needless to say it was not published and I was banned ever since.
Shows the moral standing of the man.
Plus the company he works for as well IMO.

Yes, but that’s because you are willfully blind
TB
Just read the article you linked at the Monthly regarding the NBN.
What a depressing story about infrastructure that should have made us the envy of the world. Ideology driven hatred by the LNP and Turnbull. It shows me just what a miserable person Turnbull really is.
After all the expert research done BEFORE the NBN went ahead, and not on planes, the LNP have decimated and ruined it to the point they will claim it a white elephant to sell it off and privatise it as soon as possible to their rich mates. Once again aussies will own nothing and be screwed by rorting and thieving businesses just like in Unemployment, Education, Cleaning, Construction, Airports, Private Health etc etc. No doubt you get my drift.
After all the expert research done BEFORE the NBN went ahead, and not on planes,
Really who knows what what was discussed on that plane flight. Also that article was written by a ALP supporter and we have been talking about that article on the last 2 threads. You should be apologising for fostering on us a NBN costing us who knows what finished who knows when. If you want FTTP, pay for it yourself.

One of my clients is a designer for the FTTK (Fibre to the Kerb) for Telstra, that’s how I knew that proposal was coming. He told me it was after they realised that FTTN was going to be a disaster. He and 12 others are working solely on that project for Telstra.

Really? Nobody knows how much FTTP would cost or how long it would take to build. ONly 100,000 premises were connected by the end of 2013 and there are 12 million premises in Australia
Australians may say they like FTTP but if you told them it would cost $400/month their opinion would change.
Nobody knows how much FTTP would cost
Except of course for the ‘experts’ you claim don’t exist.

Too funny. Do not try to convince me that a govt company would gets its costs correct. Govt employees do not care about money. I thin the $90B cost i heard about would be more accurate
FTTP would cost who knows what and finished who knows when
Hey Shane, l was told by 2-X-telecoms (one on east-coast, one on west-coast, independently) the network would have copper `dead-zones` till at least 2100 due to the fcuking about cramming it with copper by the teabags, ask your telecom guys/gals (covertly) to see if they say similar.

“these kids”? “these”? I take it you are childless … “kids”? Exactly the point … they really are kids … racking up a huge debt (thanks to governments past and present) before they even start a life as adults!
I served as an apprentice for five years (last one in Qld) but I paid for it with reduced wages … employers don’t employ apprentices anymore … training companies do … the abortion that training has become with people trying to make money out of everything is actually killing the whole concept of learning! When I was accepted for a place at UniSA degree I was offered a 10% discount for paying upfront … but by then I was 40yo … and earning …
Its about money, money, money! I learnt along time a go … provide the service and the dollars will folla … governments (and most people) don’t get that … provide a pathway to learning … support real outcome jobs (not reducing taxes and coal) … and collect the revenue from taxes … a healthy, happy society will do and earn more for any government …
I never objected to paying over half our income (two income taxes and business tax) – but I have always objected to the way governments spend it – on themselves …
If Birmingham expects uni “kids” to pay to “fix” the budget … then so should politicians after all they’re the ones who fucked it up!!!!
Put yer money where your mouth is TurnAbbott, Joyce, Morrison, Birmingham, O’Dwyer, Cormann … and the rest of the snouts!
We know where the bad debt is … and the leaners!

Agree, even the FTTK includes copper from the kerb to the house. If they want that replaced then I presume they will have to have a private contractor do it. Talk about a stuff up of monumental proportions causing us grief for many years to come.
(l take it that `fiber-to-kerb` is same as fiber-to-user?)
Nope, it is FTTK (a new term apparently) … fibre to the user is FTTP … premises …
The problem with the NBN in its present form is that it is a HYBRID … a term that TurnAbbott seems to think is “exciting” in some way … in fact it means the whole thing is cobbled together using materials and technology, in some cases, decades old that ANY Telstra tech will tell you is fucking stupid and bound to fail – over and over again! And cost twice, thrice the original installation to continuously repair and upgrade …
… like running a timber or coal fired boiler to generate stem to operate a turbine to generate 12v DC then inverted to 240v AC … to operate an Amiga computer …
Instead of installing a solar power system with energy storage and hooking up to a PC …
Just demonstrates the pigheaded ignorance of the TurnAbbott Travelling Circus …
TB
Our wonderful NBN has technology from the 2000s, from the 1900s and from the 1800s thanks to the LNP hybrid model. The word Hybrid is designed to hide this fact. If you told people do they want a service from the 1800s I am sure they would say no.
I went on a Steam Train adventure ride on the weekend. Loved it immensely, but would I use it as my public transport now?. Of course not!! and neither should we expect the NBN to be run like this.

Most of our current politicians had free university education with no debt whatsoever. Now they say things have changed and we cannot afford free education. Why has it come to this, what caused this, what tax breaks and tax cuts has resulted in this, why does the LNP have a user pays mentality when most of them had everything provided free when they were students courtesy of the Government at the time. Sickening hypocrisy once again. $50,000,000,000 to the likes of the ANZ while slashing and ripping off the poor.
Now they say things have changed and we cannot afford free education. Why has it come to this, what caused this,

And that comment is why i never trust anything a ALP supporter says. The first tax cuts are to small business eg pubs, clubs, takeaways to help them employ people who lost their jobs under Rudd.

The cutting of taxes to the wealthy resulted in greed becoming the catch cry. Less Tax, Less Tax, Less Tax while our services and our public ownership shrink each and every year. How on earth they think we will cope in the future is beyond my comprehension. the USA is almost stuffed and it has no money to repair bridges or roads or infrastructure while it continues to give massive tax cuts to the rich and increase its debt. It makes no sense to me at all.

FTTK the LNP answer simply because they do not want to admit that FTTP was the correct way to go and that their FTTN is a disaster. Lets not admit we were wrong, lets invent something which gives ground, but does not in any way reveal we were incorrect.
As improvement in technology demands more speed and more usage of the internet, their excuses that people don’t need fast speeds will be proven totally incorrect.
By the way i should state that i take my NBN position because i do not trust Labor. We were promised in 2007 a NBN costing $4.7B and finished by 2013. After they broke one of their major election policies why should anybody trust Labor.
Shane, from day-1 , l have always known and said fiber-to-user was correct, and `only` way to go. l have been on too many drainage, gas, electrics, water, telco crews over the years installed in news suburb lots and `whole-road` re-news. l know too damn well too that; the cost to `districts` that have to chop-up`n patch roads and footpaths as each consumer `chooses` to connect to network would be horrific. Patched and re-re-re-patched roads are never as good and never last as long as the `undamaged` road made by the bulldozer-sized rollers and machinery.
By the way i should state that i take my NBN position because you are ignorant and ignore evidence when it suits.
(Where are the cost benefit analysis of these projects that they demanded of the ALP ?
They’re ‘classified’? So ‘classified’ that they’re apparently leaked and spun, like a badly-dated re-run of a sexed-up weekend in June 2003, out of the green room zone at Sky News?
Sorry, no, that’s incorrect. The formal (CBA) oversights have been sidelined, in favour of a specially-commissioned independent report, based on a partial analysis and highly-credible assumptions, delivered to/via a new makey-uppy streamlining unit in the blah blah department, on which a responsible minister, and the voting/taxpaying/(re)viewing public, now absolutely may rely.)

Why should i trust the ALP? They stuff up everything. After winning the election they abolished Howard govt signed contracts to bring broadband to rural Australia because they did not like Howard and then their 2007 election policy was thrown into the bin.

Exactly do it right in the first place rather than a patchwork piece of shit that needs repairs and redesigning all the time. Just like Telstra after privatisation. When it was Telecom and Govt owned things were replaced or repaired properly, but maintenance does not generate profits, so since the sale the repairs have been dodgy and shoddy just to keep the network surviving enough to make profit, especially the copper network. Telecom had its own technicians all over the country Telstra has a few contractors instead.
Exactly do it right in the first place rather than a patchwork piece of shit that needs repairs and redesigning all the time.
Who says? You? And if you were told you would have to pay $250/month for FTTP would you say the same thing? The ALP does not care about the poor.

Turnbull announces a $22,000,000,000 cut to education payments to the states under the current agreed model while giving $50,000,000,000 to the likes of the ANZ. The hypocrisy of the man knows no bounds.
The LNP will not be happy until we are back in the 1800s unable to read or write and surfs of the lords and lairds of the land being thankful that we are given enough to eat to survive while working every day. Think it is extreme, it all starts with chips at the edges of conditions, chips at the services government provides, chips at the welfare of the citizens while maintaining or improving the status quo for the rich.
(And i am correct. Yes l am. It is still Labors NbnDeLorean. ln a back to the future; future to the back version of a timeline; Labor bought the NbnDeLorean; Labor chose the leather seats; Labor chose the mags; Labor chose the color; all from inflight drink coasters.

This from the bank that has outsourced thousands of jobs to India to save on wages and offers staff miniscule payrises ( except of course for Management and Bonuses ).
The Hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me. I agree wages stagnation is going to really hurt the economy and all this government can do is howl about unions. Where is Eric Abetz, you know the MP who predicted a wages explosion to spread his hatred of unions. Where is the explosion and union control and destruction of the economy by the unions.
Looks like the economy will be decimated form exactly the opposite while greed from politicians and management shows no sign of abating.

Can’t stop telling lies can you Shane because it is in your nature.
By the way we are only doing these things because Labor trashed the budget and our unemployment rate. Looks like the budget is now in permanent $40B deficit but nobody wants to cut spending. Everytime a spending cut is announced people squeel. The first tax cuts are to small business eg pubs, clubs, takeaways so maybe they will put on extra staff.
(Cool; education must be a little like evidence-led reform of energy; unilaterally announce a policy, announce another reference-of-terms review, intermeddle in subject matter of the review with wild abandon before the review is complete(d), make $400k busywork-payment(s) on a side-probe or few, shift the dambusting detail and the balloon-payment of the stated policy into someone else’s budgeting timeframe, forget about (dis)continuity, rinse and repeat.)

There apparently are many different agreements with Gonski because all of the states and many different schools were at all different levels of support when investigated under the Gonski proposal. Even I can understand that as a result there needed to be many different agreements and models.
When you take $22,000,000,000 out of promised funding and put $19,000,000,000 of promised funding back, to call it better is simply amazing.
They claim that the $22,000,000,000 from Julia Gillard was not fully funded, yet their $19,000,000,000 is fully funded. How on earth can anything be called fully funded when we have deficits in the many billions each and every year. If they are claiming something is fully funded then they are simply robbing Peter to pay Paul and usually Peter is the Poor and Paul is the Rich.
Nothing is funded not even their own thieving rorts and allowances.
Mark Latham. Now there is someone who has totally lost the plot IMO.
devil in the detail
Exactly. It will be similar to the treatment of the NBN. You can be sure, if malware and the libs have anything to do with, the poor will suffer, and the Spivs will grow richer

Absofknlutely!
I see Tim Dunlop hasn’t tho’! 🙂

Wouldn’t be surprised if ScoMo, The Terminator and Talcum did that deliberately just to piss off Abbott.
SlowMo = Pentacost
The Terminator = Mick
TurnAbbott = Mick (ex- Presbyterian)
Had to check again … 🙂

I heard on the radio that Gonski is for 6 years. The budget does forward estimates for 4 years meaning there is no funding for the last 2 years when the bulk of the money will be spent
Both sides of politics seem to say a policy is funded even if they are running $50B deficits if the money is in the 4 year forward estimates.
Shane, l`ve been saying the dumbfcuks are strangling the economy and productivity to death from the `bottom` for ages now.
lt is not just `stagnation` either. lt is a combination of the junkism of jobs that `if` it was full-time would probably be a livable-wage; `and` shit-low paid jobs.
The problem is team-dumbfcuk think they can just crush the shit out of the workforce wages and there will be no effect on productivity or consumption; both of which generates profits and taxes. Not investment.
Note:
The incredibly well paid staff (as TB will attest) at The Gutter Trash will not be joining Fairfax employees in a 7-day strike however we stand in solidarity with their predicament.
Yes we do! Tho the public will suffer a shortage of FakeNews; we do hope they don`t resort to making-up shit themselves. That`s the ipa`s job.
The incredibly well paid staff (as TB will attest) at The Gutter Trash …
Typical management BS! I’m still waiting for payment for a Special Report from the helicopter pad at Tangalooma on Moreton Island … stringers never forget, sreb!
Anyway I can’t go on strike I’m retired … I will however, sit down in solidarity with my UNDERPAID colleagues @ Fairfax …
(I can’t believe you would open up a healed wound like that!)
Speaking of wounds … we watched “Kajaki” also known as “Kilo Two Bravo” last night … true story … Afghanistan … UK 3 Para Regiment … hit by land mines … and really, really well made …
The only downside is the bloody dialects and accents (particularly the fkn Scots!) but the images carry the film … beware tho’ – the makeup is some of the most authentic I’ve seen … (and as a H&S professional I’ve seen the real thing – just not on a battlefield)
Soldiers through generation talk about their biggest fear being wounded … death is not if its swift!

SPLITTER!!
And yes, I do get the irony of a group of people who spent the last several years smearing and despoiling the Union movement at every step going on Strike
Solidarity Brothers (and or sisters)
