#auspol MP @StuartRobertMP charged taxpayers up to $2,800 a month for his home internet bills. He also spent $16,880 of taxpayers' money on "personalised letterhead stationery". PS: he has blocked me just like Bishop, Morriscum and others. abc.net.au/news/2018-10-0…
#auspol MP @StuartRobertMP also flogging $5800 per person tours to Israel. michaelsmithnews.com/2018/10/for-sa… He's an Evangelical just like PM Morriscum (his wife is a church pastor). Also ex-army. And seems to be abusing secrecy powers...
#auspol MP @StuartRobertMP in March demanded parliament apologize for not helping Jews in WWII: timesofisrael.com/australian-mp-… Even the Council of Australian Jewry said he was wrong: Australian took 15,000 Jewish refugees! Now he's Assistant Treasurer!
#auspol MP @StuartRobertMP also has close ties to an anti-gay church in Uganda. He charged taxpayers $20,000 for trips to meet the church leader, ran the Australian branch for 10 years. #Hillsong gave that church leader $720,000. smh.com.au/politics/feder…
PS: surely there's a HUGE story waiting to be written about how MP's pay staffers to cleanse their #WIKIPEDIA pages. Still waiting to read that. We concerned citizens work for nothing, they get paid to manage propaganda: a fundamental problem @jimmy_wales ignores.
#auspol MP @StuartRobertMP's 80-yo father was unaware he was a director of a company that held shares in his son's #GMT company, which won tens of millions of dollars worth of government contracts. smh.com.au/politics/feder…
#auspol MP @StuartRobertMP may have been elected to Parliament in breach of constitution: section 44 forbids MPs from profiting - even indirectly - from the Commonwealth. smh.com.au/politics/feder…
This is how lost we are in #auspol. And this bastard is just one random example of the people who supposedly "represent" us in Canberra.
But wait there's more: #auspol MP @StuartBroadMP told Parliament last month he quit the board of "alternative health" company #Cryo Australia. In fact he only quit last Friday after media inquiries. thewest.com.au/politics/feder…

This pathetic hack attacked #WikiLeaks and #Assange with smears and lies, now he loudly complains that nobody will return his calls. LMFAO. Put someone decent on the beat, @AP. #FreeASSANGE
AP claim they have "tens of thousands of files". But they are leading with Israel Samir asking the Russian embassy to give @JulianAssange asylum in 2010? It's well known @wikileaks was trying every option at the time. As Kristinn Hrafnsson says, that's “rather uninteresting.”
Have I got this wrong? 1. Ecuador wins compensation from Chevron for polluting. 2. Ecuador Supreme Court dismisses Chevron protest. 3. Ecuador govt dismisses Supreme Court judges. 4. Ecuador gets massive loans instead of Chevron compensation.
Chevron deliberately dumped 16 billon gallons of cancer-causing oil waste into #Ecuador rainforest waterways and abandoned 1,000 toxic waste pits. csrwire.com/press_releases…
Court ruled $19 billion liability, reduced to $12b. But Chevron no longer operates in #Ecuador, who therefore tried (unsuccessfully) to pursue the oil giant in foreign courts. Chevron has now counter sued: forbes.com/sites/michaelk…
Poveda said the letters "indicated precisely the concerns we have over withdrawal of nationality and asylum." So @Lenin Moreno is also planning to withdraw citizenship? He has to if he wants to legally evict #ASSANGE: #Ecuador's constitution protects citizens from extradition.
Poveda said #Assange's lawyers have been "keeping an eye on UK newspapers" and seeking to meet @Lenin Moreno "but at the moment there seems no possibility of doing so."
THREAD: Once upon a time there were three brothers in #Iraq who wrote a pro-US blog welcoming the illegal invasion of their country... #Fullbright

Their names were Omar, Mohammed and Ali Fadhil. Their blog was called Iraq The Model (inspired by Neocon claims that the Iraq invasion would become a model for US expansion in ME).
The blog was wildly popular with the pro-war crowd and heavily featured in US corporate media. The Fadhil brothers even got invited to meet President Bush in the White House (thanks to Paul Wolfowitz).
