A few more examples for those still not paying attention.
For months Labor has misled the public on its two-way arms trade with Israel, now there are pictures of Albanese with a drone gun and the Australian-made drone gun being used by an Israeli soldier (David Shoebridge – Facebook).
A further example of politicians who haven’t got the guts to defend the national interest and value for money, following revelations from the Auditor General, regarding the lack of integrity in the tendering process for a recent defence contract with BAE Systems for the construction of frigates. Greens senator David Shoebridge has referred this process to the Anti Corruption Commission.
Literally, the only new direct spending on social housing by federal Labor is the three billion dollars The Greens secured in negotiations over the Housing Future Fund, meanwhile propping up property investors and overseeing record rent and house price increases.
Labor’s new environmental laws refuse to consider climate damage and allow more pollution. More than 150 new gas wells with approval until 2080 and will make us one of the largest exporters of fossil fuel on the planet.
Thousands living homeless while billions are spent on weaponry to prop up the US and British weapons industry. Six dollars a week increase in JobSeeker is more than an insult. Labor is a bad financial manager and shows complete disregard for its citizens and environment.
