one day at a speech, a heckler shouted “what are you going to do about ‘ousing!”, Menzies replied “I’d put an H in front of it”, meaning he didn’t answer the question.

Every time the libs stuffed up or did a misstep, there was a cartoon in the paper about the libs discussing the relevant topic at lib HQ at Exhibition Street and in the background was a large framed portrait of Menzies glowering down at them with hiis famous bushy eyebrows. This would crack me up.

What we need in Australia is a proper government like the one they have in China.

Several authoritative accounts I read many years ago suggest that by early 1942 Australia faced no actual threat of invasion. The Japanese navy was apparently keen on the idea, but the army felt they had insufficient manpower, bearing in mind the need to control the vast conquests already made and that they had already reached the outer limits of Japan's envisaged " Co-Prosperity Sphere". US code-breakers must have been aware of that.

Churchill stood his ground against Hitler when the rest of the World was folding. THE right man at the right time. If he had failed, the freedom and rights we now enjoy would not exist. Churchill was determined to save England and the use of forces from the Empire was a necessity, they were expendable in order to save his Country. As an Australian, that seems callous, but Britain was on its knees so, he used whatever resources the Commonwealth provided to save Britain. I am sure he had no interest in the fate of Australia as his Country faced defeat and bullied and threatened to achieve his objective, to save Britain at any cost. The British army was failing in every theatre, and Churchill was no less critical of their failures, so the Colonials were the only hope he had and the reality that US involvement would change the course of the war. .

Regardless if you are LIBERAL or LABOR in your beliefs, John Curtin was a Politician you could respect. Mr Curtin was a patriot who had the best interests of his Country at heart. A man who would lead our Country through a world calamity that threatened the very existence of Australia. We have never seen the like of this leadership again, and never will. John Curtin was a man of honour, making some of the toughest decisions ever to befall a Prime Minister.

I have this really simple view that around 1900 and earlier, the ideologies of communism, socialism, national socialists and probably 50 others were intellectual exercises by intellectuals through Europe, they were alternative concepts to any monarchy. This soured as the realities of Stalin and Hitler (a few others like Franco) began to take effect and illustrated the realities of ideaolgies and continue through neoliberalism as promoted by Thatcher and Reagan and later by John Howard to make sure we didn’t miss out. My point is the ideologies around 1900 were seen as quaint ideas, possibly the monarchies were rock solid and weren’t moving any time soon until the internal pressures across Europe erupted into The Great War.

Point of order - the states do not have a 'Senate' - they have an upper house (except Qld - typical boneheads). All other states have a Legislative Council. But otherwise loving the series. Is a very good binge

I dimly recall that in 1949, the government was not happy with the banks foreclosing on farmers and forcing them off the land. Seems the banks went about this with enthusiam. I also recall there was a referendum on the bank nationalization which was defeated.

Your use of the word ‘regime’ is on the nose. The Whitlam reforms had so much good in them. There is a special place in hell for the self-serving men who brought him down.

Kevin 07 may be the only one in my memory … pretty sure that was the first time I voted. So my opinion is only based on 2nd and 3rd hand accounts of the others.

12 months ago 😮

Thank you for teaching me about the Robodebt scandal, Harold the Healthy Giraffe.

7:00 Yes, but........ *France is a TERRORIST nation!* Lest anyone forget the two saboteurs sent to blow up the Rainbow Warrior in New Zealand(the waters of Auckland Harbour). Those two saboteurs, upon their return from "prison" on a French-owned holiday resort island, were given France's highest honour, the Legion of Honour. It was the *FRENCH GOVERNMENT* that sent these two to NZ and an innocent life was lost in that explosion, which makes those two not just saboteurs, but also *MURDERERS!* And by extension, the *FRENCH GOVERNMENT* are also *MURDERERS!* France has *NEVER* apologised to New Zealand at all in the 4 decades since that act of *BLATANT TERRORISM!*

Churchill would not ever visit Australia after WW2. Churchill preferred adoration by the English (or Truman).

Whitlam was such a disaster I remember it very well Every month there was a scandal

One single answer:- "Oil" 😅

If you rearrange the letters of robodebt you get the word “otrobbed” as in “you got robbed”

Whew..... thank goodness this is *FICTIONAL!* The idea of Keating returning to the Prime Ministership is an *UNSPEAKABLE HORROR!!!*

Keating was, and *IS* an *UTTER TRAITOR* to the ALP. He should've been *EXPELLED* years ago!

13:52 Anastasia Palaszczuk's surname has been consistently been mispronounced throughout her career. She pronounces her name as "Pala-shay" when it should be *"Pala-chuck!"*

That's one thing Australia *MUST* dispense with if we're to live up to our egalitarian principles, the term "Lord Mayor". (10:23) The 'Lord" part reeks of the *FOUL, PUTRID STENCH OF ARISTOCRACY!!!*

It's way cheaper and quicker for a government to go after people for small amounts of money who can't afford to fight the debt rather than 1 rich person who owes the equivalent of 1000 low income people because they can afford lawyers to fight the debt.

Gladys Bere-JOKE-lian's government of *TOTAL INCOMPETENCE* had *CAUSED THE SPREAD OF COVID-19!* (14:50)

7:25 Jodie McKay is an ex-NBN newsreader, and a bland, mediocre one at that. She, along with Iemma, Tripodi and Michael Kosta, unjustly stripped Arthur Wade, a staunch Labor man from the Carrington branch of the ALP of his Life Membership and abolished the Carrington branch because they *opposed* the closure of the Newcastle rail line from Wickham into the Terminus at Watt Street! Talk about *SCUMBAGS!* They also ganged up against Bryce Gaudrey, the now-deceased former MLA for Newcastle, and best MLA Newcastle has known since James Fletcher!

And I thank god I wasn’t on the dole when this was happening! I don’t bother with it even though I need it because they treat you like a criminal just for needing support 😢

It’s Cory 😂😂😂

She was a cheap turd

He was Keysian before Keynes. Pretty impressive

You want another story? Income averaging still occurs. It is used for single parents who are meant to receive child support payments. If they get irregular payments or even if they don't get payments at all, they will still be hit with a debt based on what they *should* have received. Worse, the more care they have for their children, the larger their debt will be - for example, if they have 70% care and the other parent is meant to pay $50 a week for child support then their debt will be approximately 40% of $2600 (the annual amount that they *should* receive). If their care increases to 100% and the other parent is meant to pay $100 a week then their debt will be 40% of $5200. Even if they don't receive a cent of child support. This also happens if the other parent underestimates their income or doesn't do their tax returns. The majority of Centrelink debts are dealt to women, through no fault of their own.

只说贼挨揍，就是不说为何挨揍！要是不和苏联签安全条约夹击中国，就不会有这场战争。只能说越南没有战略眼光

Thanks for the summary, I was trying to line up the series of events the other day and you’re right, not sure where to start. ❤

The media was F’ing disgusting

Newman was not a good politician however he was not the worst!! The gong goes to Wayne Goss! Goss sacked more public servants than Newman and did so when the Qld coffers were full. Basically Goss went after anyone who served the National Party. The speech writers copped the worst of it too. While others, including myself were forced to take redundancies (they were "voluntary" but not to take one meant getting the worst jobs), the writers were parked up in the "gulag" which was located in the Normanby Fiveway with only a single phone and no work. The idea was to send them there and they would resign thus saving a redundancy payout. All the writers refused to resign and it took 18 months for the Goss Government to realise they had to pay these people out. The horror stories of the Goss government have largely been erased from history. Goss spent a lot of money on himself too. The Joh jet was a great example of this. The jet was capable to fly to Melbourne and refuel and fly back to Brisbane thus making the aircraft perfect for donor organ transportation. A role it did a lot even dumping political payloads to go for organs (donated organs have a time limit, 1 minute late they have to be discarded) The replacement jet was slower, less range and the pilots all had to spend 2 months in the USA to be retrained on the new jet. All this not because the Joh jet was bad, just because Goss didn't want to sit in the same seat at Joh! Queensland economy also took a hit during this time as the ALP enjoyed the surplus in the budget from the Nationals. Virtually no infrastructure work was undertaken during this time. It was recommended that Goss link all the dams together by pipeline incase of a drought. He refused and later Anna Bligh would pay for this to be done during the Millenium drought and she had to pay penalty rates to have it done urgently! Yes Queensland needed a change from the Nationals after the Fitzgerald Royal commission, but it was a case of out of the pan and into the fire! So why not look at the Goss Government years? Goss the only Premier in Queensland to lose his job to a No Confidence vote.

Western Sydney, we did the obligatory visit/s to Old Sydney Town. Always had to either write an essay or a stupid ‘project’ afterward.

And the SCARY thing is the architect, one Peter zdutton, aka Mr Potato Head, is possibly our next PM. 😱

For a start, it's *NOT* Icack", it's *I.C.A.C.(phonetically: Eye See Ay See). It's an *ACRONYM, NOT A WORD!* And yes, the I.C.A.C. did good in uncovering the dirty dealings of Greiner and Bere-JOKE-lian, helping to rid the state of these two contemptable former Premiers!

My only complaint about this video is it failed to mention the hundreds of suicides it caused , I know it's a difficult subject but its important conversation that needs to had.

Depends on your bias. Some think welfare fraud is a petty issue. And as much as the ABC will have you believe only innocent people were targeted, that is far from the truth. A time is fast approaching when we will regret our drunken sailor approach to welfare.

This sounds very similar to the Post Office scandal here in the UK.

And polling right now shows that Aussies want this party, yes the one run by Morrison, be in government again by 2025. Let that settle for a moment.

Amazing ❤

I hated those Howard years.

The only thing more of a Joke than RoboDebt was the RoboDebt class action.

VeHemently*

We British made the right electoral decision and character assessment in the 1945 General Election.

I would have guessed someone with a mustache
