It’s embarrassing for Australia that this entire saga occurred within in the last 10 years. Not some long ago scandal when general community sensibilities were different. While it was occurring it didn’t pass the pub test, yet it carried on for 4 years.

I hope some of the criminal/corrupt activities that have been referred to law enforcement by the royal commission result in meaningful consequences for those responsible.

    His calling out Shorten for gleefully politicising the bad actions of the Liberal party is some “pot calling the kettle black” bullshit.

      Indeed, what about the (then government’s) glee at actually causing these deaths? People even mentioned it in the RC: The government was actively hoping the people dying were going to be perceived as dole bludgers and therefore not important enough to care about.
