Comedy, corruption in Victorian Labor
17th Jun 2020 12:00 AM

WITHDRAWN from viewing on Netflix, Gone With The Wind, then Little Britain, Faulty Towers and Chris Lilley’s TV shows with possibly others to follow.

Why?

Because they are classed as racist and should not be allowed to show or use racism as entertainment.


Extraordinary decapitation texts leaked.

Well, if you missed Channel 9’s 60 Minutes on June 14, you missed one of the best descriptions of comedy and corruption in the Victoria Labor Party and they were allowed to show that as entertainment.

They were allowed to show how people are used and paid by corrupt politicians to better the lives and fortunes of those we trust to make our lives and future better, not there by branch stacking.

The comedy was having Sam Dastyari, Labor’s ex-senator explain how the corruption worked.


They couldn’t have picked a better bloke.

Because Sam’s the man to explain it better than anyone.

But we would be naive to think it’s only the Labor Party involved in this type of corruption.

But don’t expect it soon as there’s trouble getting ink to dry in this humidity.

And we are not in calm waters in Queensland as we see our own LNP Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington giving a warning to the heavyweights in her party that she will give as good as she gets if they try to replace her.

It is a small, small world after all.

The Decline and Fall Of Labor


Nothing to oppose with any significance, so oppose everything.

As for Albanese the Leader, he is a man awaiting the end of tenure.

Accomplished nothing, opposed everything and looking forward to a vacuum or maybe some kind of recognition that waits to unfold.

The Daniel Andrews story is only in its first chapter and one can feel the tension as the story unfolds.

As the threads of Communist China unravel thread by thread into Australian Politics and the players’ names begin to appear.

Of course the story must surely begin prior to the last Election and the parts played by Dastyari, Shorten, the bag carrier and the recipients?

Who would win the Election, what was agreed/promised and by whom?

Was Australia promised as a part of China's Road and Belt Initiative and if so by whom?

Why did Shorten refuse to address questions of policy costings but stated that ALL would be revealed 'after' the Election?

The Election he could not lose and his confidence in winning. What had Bill planned for us one wonders?

And after the 'Miracle' happened and he lost and all his plans and promises made came to nothing, we find him still there, in the Parliament and keeping tabs on what is going on.

And watching Albo gradually fall from Grace and ready to announce, one more try??

If so, we surely have little to worry about.

But the story of the Road to China will be a thriller in every way, at least for some?


Now the rot has spread to the NSW Labor Abortion.

Granville MP Julia Finn has stood down.(AAP Image: Joel Carrett)


State Opposition MP Julia Finn has resigned from Shadow Cabinet, amid Labor's deepening branch stacking controversy.


Key points:
Julia Finn was named in an internal report on branch stacking
But it made no recommendations against her
Labor leader Jodi McKay said yesterday she wouldn't sack Ms Finn


The Member for Granville stepped down from her shadow portfolio this afternoon.

Ms Finn was named in an internal investigation into branch stacking issues.

But a senior Labor MP this week told Parliament no recommendations against Ms Finn were made in the report.

In a statement, Ms Finn said she would be standing aside and urged Labor's tribunal to "urgently" deal with matters flagged in the party's internal reviews.

Read on and be shocked some more by Labor's bottomless Cesspool of Corruption.

Corruption scandal exposes Labor Party
EDITOR, JUNE 22, 2020

Last week a scandal blew up in the face of the Australian Labor Party, claiming the scalps of three ministers and a shadow minister. Damning evidence uncovered the corrupt politics behind Daniel Andrews’ “progressive” Victorian government.

Central in this scandal is former Victorian Labor minister Adem Somyurek. He ran a ruthless and shady operation controlling power in the ALP. The scandal drew in multiple ALP figures in the Victorian, Federal and New South Wales parliaments.

Somyurek was overseeing “branch stacking” operations, signing up false members to branches of a political party to control decisions. These people usually have no real commitment and do as they are told. In many cases they are fraudulently signed up and paid for.

Branch votes decide who will run in elections and could deliver them seats in parliament, ultimately bringing power and money to those who can muster the most fake members.

Recordings showed attempts to forge signatures, use of fake addresses and paying fees for fake members. The corruption was made worse by Somyurek’s violent, sexist and homophobic language and arrogant boasts of impunity.

This type of scandal is not new to politics. There are many examples of corruption from the major pro-capitalist parties. The repulsive details of this scandal only confirm ordinary people’s rightful hatred of how “official politics” operates while millions are suffering from the recession.

Insiders admit that “branch stacking” is an open secret in the major parties. One anonymous Labor power broker told the media “much more” than a quarter of Labor’s Victorian members come from branch stacking.

Deplorable behaviour by Somyurek is not new either. He resigned from cabinet after being found bullying his staff in 2015 but was reinstated when Andrews was re-elected. Andrews referred to Somyurek as his “very good friend” at the time.

Importantly this exposes the rotten underbelly of Daniel Andrews government and shows how decayed the ALP is. The organised exposure of Somyurek, met by his vow to “bring down” more Labor politicians, says that this has opened a new round of messy internal ALP power struggles.


Reflecting the seriousness of this crisis, the ALP has gone further than just expelling Somyurek. Labor announced the suspension of members’ voting rights in Victoria. Instead the ALP’s national executive will select candidates for state and federal elections for three years.

Ironically the ALP’s national president Wayne Swan said that a solution to this crisis is “to expand membership, better democracy in the party”.

But Labor’s political corruption cannot be ‘fixed’ by reforms. It’s roots stretch back decades to the party’s total transformation into a political machine for the capitalist class.

This process started in the 1980s under Labor leaders Bob Hawke and Paul Keating. The ALP governments led by them introduced right-wing policies which boosted corporate profits at the expense of worker’s wages while undermining trade unions. Rudd and Gillard continued this.

Democratic paths within the ALP for ordinary members to challenge this transformation of the party were blocked. These processes together demoralised and disorientated thousands, ending any internal dynamism or life for working class activists in the ALP.

Decades later most ordinary people no longer see any practical difference between Labor and the Liberal-National coalition.

That’s why the ALP and many ex-workers’ parties like it around the world are empty shells, used by the big end of town as one of their options to swap in and out of power. Today the ALP is a perfect playground for power-hungry crooks like Somyurek and others.

This scandal once again highlights how urgent it is for working people to have a new political organisation of their own, worthy of support.

A new kind of organisation based on fighting for workers’ real interests would need to have genuinely democratic structures and practices that inspire ordinary people to join and be active. That could prevent it from being taken over by malicious forces.

It would need regular election of all party officials and representatives with wages capped at the average income of those working people they represent.

It would also need to rely entirely on money raised from its members and working class communities. Corporate donations would be rejected.

Ultimately this organisation would have to reject the profit-driven system of capitalism – a fundamentally corrupt and undemocratic system that put the profits of a minority over the needs of the majority.

And just what is this Branch Stacking that is endemic in the Corrupt Union and Greeny and Chinese controlled Labor Party ?




What is the definition of branch stacking and why is it bad for Australian politics?
By Emily Sakzewski Posted 6 days ago, updated 5 days ago

Eenie meeni minni mo - catch a Lefty by the toe.


What is branch stacking and how is it legal?

Media reports claim to have uncovered branch stacking on an "industrial scale" in the Victorian Labor Party.

Last night's 60 Minutes program aired footage which purports to show a senior Labor figure named Adem Somyurek allegedly branch stacking.

The politician at the centre of the allegations emphatically denies any wrongdoing.

What is branch stacking?
Branch stacking is when people are recruited into a branch of a political party to influence who is pre-selected as an election candidate.

To break it down even more, imagine there are two members of a party who want to be the official candidate for an upcoming election.

The party has to undergo a preselection process, where all the members of the party vote for the candidate they prefer.

Perhaps there are factions of the party that favour one of the members over the other, for whatever reason.

Those factions might try to recruit new members into the party, perhaps by offering to pay their membership fees, in exchange for their vote towards the favoured candidate.

Why is it a bad thing?
Branch stacking inflates membership numbers and threatens to de-legitimise the democratic preselection process.

A 2002 report by former Labor leaders Bob Hawke and Neville Wran described the practice as having a "cancerous effect" on democratic traditions.

"When membership lists are artificially inflated with large numbers of 'members' lacking commitment to the party, internal democratic processes are distorted," the report said.

It also said branch stacking was one of the most "difficult challenges" for parties to stamp out, because any attempt to prevent it could impose excessive limitations.

Is branch stacking illegal?
No, it is not illegal.

It would only be illegal in a case where any false information was provided to the Australian Electoral Commission.

This might include members using a fake address or forging signatures.

But there are party rules around membership.

Under both the ALP and LNP national constitutions, members must pay for their own membership and must live at their claimed address.

Both parties promise to take disciplinary action against any infringing member.

What cases have there been in Australian politics?
Accusations of branch stacking are not uncommon in Australian politics.

In the past few years alone, there have been several allegations:

In 2018, there were fears several branches of the Victorian Labor party had been stacked with members — many of them Somali-Australians — who would vote with a certain faction.

Federal Liberal MP Ann Sudmalis, who held the NSW seat of Gilmore, quit politics in 2018 over suspicions of branch stacking. She accused NSW MP Gareth Ward of branch stacking and undermining her preselection campaign — an allegation he denies.

And in 2017, former MP Belinda Neal was expelled from the NSW Labor Party over allegations of branch stacking in the race for preselection in Gosford, which she denies.

Who cares about the Labor Party, you would hope the voter decided they are on the nose, and place a worthy vote elsewhere. Teflon has been smothered on Shorten and Andrews for years, and media mates have turned a blind eye, would love to know who turned and did 60 minutes do it for the ratings only.

Love that photo!. No Bill, grimacing while staring into the distance does not denote deep contemplation and Albo? Nothing, an empty shell, a study in vacuousness, not a rational thought between the pair of them.

This corrupt behaviour is nothing new! It’s the normal ways of socialists.

The electorate has to wake up to the way our democracy & sovereignty is being eroded by by the socialist left in both major parties. When & how has the Labor party been reduced to such an unacceptable rabble siding-with Globalists, Communists, the UN & the one World Government criminals?

It started with Whitlam and has been accelerating ever since. I`ve said it before, there has not been a Labor Party in Australia since the days of Cockie Caldwell.

Is it all to do with the “corporate-style takeover” of the ALP by the Union Movement and now the Greenies and NOW the Chinese ???




Labor’s woes mount by the day
AMM 22.06.20.

Labor Leader Anthony Albanese is sure to be looking over his shoulder, especially with that slippery rat Bill Shorten dodging in and out of the garbage bin, dreaming of a miracle comeback.

Some of his baggage is still in a cupboard at the Lodge in Canberra—Vinnies didn’twant it! But the ‘unpacking’ of Labor’s long-held schemes and scams are being laid bare.

Like rats in close confinement that turn on each other in vicious order, so might that be as more dirt is exposed and more hopefuls seek the poisoned chalice.

The brutal words of Victorian Labor minister Adem Somyurek were much more than political bluster.

They were a shameful display of power, a blatant perversion of the democratic process.

Captured on 100 hours of ­covert surveillance tapes, some aired publicly this week, Somyurek boasted of controlling two-thirds of MPs from the governing party in his state.


Read on and gasp with disbelief as you cop a full frontal of unbelievable corruption and scandal that has been racking the Union and Greeny and Chinese controlled Labor Party for years.

NSW Labor MP Shaoquett Moselmane's home, office raided by police
Posted 1 hour ago, updated 6m= minutes ago

NSW Labor leader Jodi McKay says raids 'dreadfully concerning'(ABC News)

Officers from the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and ASIO have raided NSW Labor MP Shaoquett Moselmane's home and office in Sydney this morning.

Key points:
The Australian Federal Police and ASIO said they executed the search "as part of an ongoing investigation"
Labor is co-operating with the agencies
NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance said he was "horrified" by the allegations
NSW Labor leader Jodi McKay confirmed she was aware of the raids, and that the party would suspend Mr Moselmane's membership.


Ms McKay described reports that Mr Moselmane's office had allegedly been infiltrated by Chinese government agents as "dreadfully concerning".

"I was advised early this morning that there had been search warrants executed on the home of Mr Moselmane," she said.

Ms McKay said suspending Mr Moselmane's membership was "the right thing to do".

In identical statements, the AFP and ASIO said they were "executing search warrants in Sydney this morning as part of an ongoing investigation".

Ms McKay said Labor was cooperating with the agencies involved.

When asked about allegations Mr Moselmane's office had been infiltrated by Chinese government agents, Ms McKay said: "It's dreadfully concerning, it's terrible."

"There is an expectation on MPs that whatever they do is in the best interest of the people in this state.

"And I would hope that every single MP in the Parliament, not just on the Labor side but the Liberal and the National party side, the crossbench, has that as the heart of the their actions as an MP."

Ms McKay said she would receive a briefing from the AFP and ASIO later today.

The AFP and ASIO statements said, despite the raids, there was "no current or impending threat to community safety".

"As this investigation remains ongoing, there will be no further comment."

NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance said he was "horrified" by the situation and urged Labor to act quickly.

"I think most Australians would just shake their head at this," he said.

"This type of investigation is so serious — we've got to see what comes of it, but there's too much smoke here and it's ultimately really incumbent upon Jodi McKay to step up."

Federal Attorney-General Christian Porter's office, which must authorise AFP warrants, was contacted for comment.

The Chinese have Labor by the 'proverbials' and they all need weeding out. I would also like to know if any of these scumbags will receive a pension when this all dies down.

ScoMo also needs to weed out the commies in the Liberal party starting with Gladys Liu.

It's them Reds under the Bed!!!!

Is there no end to Labor's shameful conduct ?  No doubt it is the GetUp! Terrorists again.

There needs to be guards in place at all cemeteries to ensure the practice (as is perfected in Queensland by Labor), of raising the dead does not occur on election day.

Labor lies and illegals acts ,,,nothing new move on, we will fix it up later maybe

Trouble is, it is never fixed – just keeps on keeping on.

This really shows how the Aussie “she’ll be right Mate – near enough is close enough -, like the Long march of The left -has’ so deeply infiltrated our country. Any one with half a brain should have ensured that the authorisations were accurate before the release of the corflutes.



Eden-Monaro: Labor caught with unauthorised posters
AMM 26.06.20.

Albo and Kirsty McBain

Labor is quietly taking down corflute signs across the Eden-Monaro tilt after keen eyes noticed the signs were authorised by disgraced former boss Kaila Murnain, hoping like hell that nobody saw such a dumb move.

The public, however, are far smarter than Labor’s campaign managers and blew the whistle. Will this lose votes for the Labor candidate? Probably not!



Eden-Monaro: Labor’s Kirsty McBain caught with unauthorised campaign signs
Source: Anna Caldwell, The Daily telegraph

Labor is urgently trying to tear down a string of corflutes in its Eden-Monaro tilt which boast the authorisation of disgraced former party boss Kaila Murnain.

The Daily Telegraph was sent photos of red Labor signs, with the small print “authorised by Kaila Murnain”, including in the window of Labor candidate Kristy McBain’s office in Queanbeyan.

Others were taken in Yass and Narooma.

The photo in Ms McBain’s office window was taken on Wednesday, but by yesterday it had been removed.

A Labor spokesman last night explained that the signs were old signs which had been recycled by volunteers.

“These are old signs that are in the possession of Labor Party members and volunteers who are eager to get Kristy McBain elected as a strong local voice for Eden-Monaro,” the spokesman said.

“We are making every effort to take these signs out of circulation.”

The Commonwealth Electoral Act requires authorisation of corflutes, ads and other electoral material to include the address of a person where they are located or can be contacted.

Ms Murnain quit as general secretary of the Labor Party last October after being called before ICAC in a donations hearing.
