A report from the Australian National Audit Officer has revealed a block of land bought for nearly $30 million by the federal government in 2018 using taxpayer dollars was valued at about $3 million just one year later. The government purchased a 12.26 hectare piece of land in Leppington in July 2018 for $26.
7 million from the Leppington Pastoral Company to develop a second runway for the Western Sydney Airport in 30 years. Mr Conroy said the report made "no suggestion" Cabinet Minister Paul Fletcher, the urban infrastructure minister at the time, "had a clue" about the incorrect figures. “It goes on to say the information was not given to the minister,” Mr Conroy said.

Donald Trump 'should and will fill the Supreme Court seat before the election' | Sky News AustraliaAdvance Australia Director Liz Storer says US President Donald Trump should fill the seat left vacant by the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the upcoming presidential election, which she believes he will certainly do. \n\nAssociate Justice of the United States Supreme Court Ruth Bader Ginsburg died over the weekend aged 87 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.\n\n President Donald Trump praised the progressive icon upon hearing the news of her death after a campaign rally. \n\nThe vacant seat is set to become a massive political battle, as the President has already indicated he intends to nominate a replacement merely six weeks before the election.\n\nIf President Trump successfully replaced Justice Ginsburg, it would entrench a 6-3 conservative majority.\n\n“I say fill the seat, and I have no doubt that’s exactly what he’s going to do,' Ms Storer told Sky News host Paul Murray\n\n“If for no other reason than, as we know, this election is going to be highly contested no matter who wins, no matter who loses, and we cannot have a supreme court split four-four and go for weeks, maybe months not knowing who’s the leader of the free world.

At least Victorians are seeing what a 'fascist, left-wing government looks like' | Sky News AustraliaFormer Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger says Victoria, with its lockdowns and restrictions, is “seeing what fascism looks like”.\n\n It comes as the Andrews government is expected to introduce sweeping new powers for public servants, giving them the authority of authorised officers with the ability to indefinitely detain Victorians. \n\nThe bill, which will last until April 2021, gives officers the power to detain people whom they perceive to be a high-risk person (either with COVID-19 or a close contact) and who refuses to comply with health directives.\n\n“You have no freedom of movement after 9 pm now, and between 5 am, so your freedom is restricted,” Mr Kroger told Sky News host Paul Murray.\n\n“Movement is restricted to 5k from your house.\n\n“You’re restricted in who you can visit. You can’t practice your religion. You can only go to funerals in certain numbers.\n\n“People are being arrested in their homes. Pregnant women are arrested in their homes for incitement. You can’t practice free speech.\n\n“And now, you are having people who are not police officers being given the power to arrest people.\n\n“This is a shocking state of affairs in Victoria.\n\n“And now people are seeing what it’s like to have a really fascist left-wing government, and that’s what we have in Victoria, quite frankly.”\n Lol you’re seriously wheeling out Kroger? 😂😂😂 Is it really? Fascists seized power violently in Spain & Italy. Hitler tried that route in Germany, failed & then won an election. All three countries suspended human rights & placed people in arbitrary detention & killed many. Germany killed millions. Dumb comparison.

Either the incompetence was so bad, or 'backsides are being covered': Murray | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says it became absolutely clear at the inquiry into hotel quarantine last week that “no one was in charge”.\n\nMr Murray said 'one of the counsels assisting the inquiry made it very clear, last week it became absolutely clear, that no one was in charge.”\n\n“Either the incompetence was so bad that no one could be held responsible, or everyone is covering their backside,” he said. \n\n“Either way, accountability must be there.\n\n“While I understand the human shields that will be there for Chairman Dan on twitter, but the reality is millions of people are locked in their house, given false hope that things are going to get better, but by his own roadmap, even if you hit the average, nothing really changes again, for another month.”\n Oh, just like LiberalAus Truly unbelievable!!!! Just like Aged Care
