Another vote winner ...



When asked if he would continue to stand with only the Australian flag behind him at press conferences as he has done in the past if elected Prime Minister, Dutton confirmed that he would. While saying both the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags should be respected, he reiterated that they are not the National flags of Australia.

Good job too!

She had the potential to damage Labor at the next election, maybe there will be some impact but this choice of name for her political party is very poor.

People will associate her with the disastrous "Voice to parliament" mess.

Here’s an extract from her announcement:

We can no longer sit by while our voices are drowned out by the same old politics. It’s time to stand up, to rise together and to take control of our future.

And so it is with great humility and deep responsibility that I announce the formation of Australia’s Voice, a new political party for the disenfranchised, the unheard, and those yearning for real change.

Australians are fed up with the major parties having a duopoly, a stranglehold over our democracy. If we need to drag the two major parties kicking and screaming to do what needs to be done, we will do it.”

Nobody wants idiot Dutton in power other than the Murdoch press.

Liberals have been led by a string of idiots and the Liberal political body rejected intellectuals like Turnbull.

There will never be an intellectual Liberal Prime Minister, only idiots like Abbott and Dutton.

In 1987, Turnbull established an investment banking firm, Whitlam Turnbull & Co Ltd, in partnership with Neville Wran, the former Labor Premier of New South Wales, and Nicholas Whitlam, the former Chief Executive of the State Bank of New South Wales and the son of former Labor Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. Whitlam parted company with the firm in 1990; it operated as Turnbull & Partners Ltd until 1997.

Turnbull left the firm he co-founded in 1997 to become a managing director of Goldman Sachs Australia, eventually becoming a partner in Goldman Sachs and Co.

Additionally, he worked as a director of Star Technology Systems from 1993 to 1995.

During this time Turnbull was also the chairman of Axiom Forest Resources, which conducted logging in the Solomon Islands under the trading name Silvania Forest Products.

The latter's work was described by the Australian International Development Assistance Bureau as a "clear-felling operation",[62]

and the then Solomon Islands Prime Minister Solomon Mamaloni reportedly threatened to close it down for "constant breaches of logging practices", according to a critical article in the Solomon Times.[63][64]

Turnbull purchased a stake in the internet service provider OzEmail in 1994 for $500,000. He sold this stake several months before the dot com bubble burst in 1999 for $57 million to then-telecommunications giant MCI Worldcom.[65]

In May 2002, Turnbull appeared before the HIH Insurance royal commission to be questioned on Goldman Sachs's involvement in the possible privatisation of one of the acquisitions of the collapsed insurance company.

The Royal Commissioner's report made no adverse findings against him or Goldman Sachs,[66] however, Turnbull was one of nine defendants who settled later litigation over the collapse in undisclosed payments, thought to be worth as much as $500m.
