Mutual Obligations in the welfare system essentially guarantee payment and profit to the $7.1 billion outsourced job provider network. That's why the Department says the 4-week pause is "being closely monitored." Lot of private equity firms making bank. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/…

Morrison has no one to blame but himself
A certain amount of self-delusion is necessary to sustain a political career the fine art of spin requires participants to believe their own bullshit from time to time. That unhealthy self-delusion can become an emotional crutch in defeat as politicians especially failed leaders use it to justify their actions.

What’s behind Tony Abbott’s return to the spotlight?
No one did more to shape the direction of Australian politics in the past decade than Tony Abbott. His ruthless and determined resistance to effective action on climate change was reprehensibly short-sighted but was the template for four election campaigns. Like his dismantling of Labor’s original design of the national broadband network, it pitted narrow partisan interest

The advocacy by First Nations people for an enhanced role in the democratic life of the Australian state has its genesis in the time of colonial parliaments, before Federation, as Indigenous leaders called for the right to have a say in laws and policies about their people as they grappled with an ever increasing body count on the frontier and their land was rapidly being dispossessed.
