rharris334 Absolute shit show of corruption, the excuse will be we are looking after our electorate.This is corruption that stinks!! Dutton is a criminal and human rights violations. He will forever be know as a untouchable criminal in parliament. Head of AFP ASIO Immigration border force💩

rharris334 Over looking the club that Dutton approved now? That’s gold we can’t have him held accountable can we all of his crimes!

rharris334 Justice will be served.

rharris334 Oh I dunno this all sounds a little too Trumpesque for me. Gun clubs. Signatories. Funds. Illegalities I mean legalities...

rharris334 This lady lacks knowledge,understanding and integrity. She intervened and took over from the organisation that should be in charge. How arrogant.

rharris334 She's a potent emblem of who we've become. A giggling air-head blonde with a rifle in her hand, handing out millions of taxpayer dollars at her leisure.

rharris334

rharris334 This is, at best, a trivial side issue. Either hold this Government’s corruption to account or don’t bother at all. You’re just giving a pretext of doing so, when all you’re actually doing is buying into Morrison’s preferred narrative.

rharris334 What of the complicit LNP cabinet that approved AND increased the SportsRort?

rharris334 What a grub.

Scott Morrison & LNP went after thousands of Australians for a few dollars with ROBODEBT, a system discredited. But a federal minister can gift 100 million of tax payers money. AFP & electoral commission must investigate.
