Angus Taylor and the Daily Telegraph caught out lying and forging documents, page-118

Dave sss, thanks for posting that illuminating bio on our ministerial drongo Angus Taylor, who is emerging as a seriously nasty piece of work.

as though the govt doesn’t have enough on its plate without liabilities like Taylor showing us how bereft the LNP govt is of decency and ethics.

i love the way Melbourne-based writer Mark Buckley is able to put Taylor’s self-generated political poo fight into a wider political context. An excerpt from Buckley’s piece entitled “Seriously Under-Achieving”, which was published today in John Menadue’s Pearls and Irritations weekly, appears below.

BUCKLEY:

”Visit the (HoR) chamber a day later, and the show has become even more bogged down in mediocrity, like a slow motion train crash.

“While the planet teeters on the brink of climatic ‘tipping points’; as the Government is found to have been gouging those it maybe, possibly, suspected of being overpaid, while on welfare, sometimes as much as a decade ago; as more than sixty Australian citizens, victims of their husbands and/or fathers who dragged them to Syria to fight in a war most of them are too young to understand, cower in terror; as Australia’s international reputation is trashed, and our citizens shamed by the inhumanity shown to the refugees, both onshore, and offshore; the Australian Government was closing ranks to save the political life of an entitled twit, who is currently being slowly roasted for a totally unnecessary own goal.”
