And none of the other politicians and partys are backed by major companys/countrys. Sound pretty hypercritical to me!

You too can have a politician just donate a new Cirrus G7.

Who is going to fly it ? James  Ashby?. Not for Amateurs. Nev

I wish those idiot reporters would stop referring to "Pauline's Jet". Can't they see the ruddy great propeller on the front of it. And it's less than $2million, not multi-million. It's as bad as calling it a Cessna.

Well that's one positive thing. And they don't desribe it as a home-built ultra-light.

It's a SEXY Plane  GIFTED from Gorgeous Gina.. Nothing to see here. Perfectly Normal. Just Imagine the Hoo Haa IF Albanese got one given to him.. Sky would fall down on Him.. You'd Never hear the end of it. Nev

How much gifting from corporations do the other parties get. easy to find. Pretty hypocritical for people to carry on about this. Albo just uses the governments money to get around(fair enough). Sarah Hansen Youngs husband uses the governments money to get to work. 

 

What was the largest single donation to Labor?

The largest single donation was A$1,500,000.00 from Pratt Holdings Pty Ltd on May 22, 2022.

"Easy to find?" and Probably accounted for as rules apply to all this . The Big movers are not easy to find.  Non disclosed kick backs on BIG projects. Nev

Yep. Unions to the Labor governments. Huge sums involved.

And Pauline was upfront and disclosed it because they new people would make a big thing out of it. It seems the major partys have been quiet on it, worried some people might do some digging.

[facthunter]

All has to be disclosed PMC and is. It's small Bickies compared to what I'm talking about. Labor originally Grew out of the Union Movement which is now only a shadow of it's former self. 

  Paulines defence has always Been that She's being picked on. She has a few things to be worried about, so we will see what Unfolds. One Person Legitimately in the Lower house does not a Government Make.  Senate Places are easy. The Party (Pauline)? decides the Pecking order.  Her show is far from being stable. What is the Bond? Rampant Opportunism? Panicked RATS Leaving the sinking ship? Sussan Ley had a 42% hold on that seat. Taylor has helped to finish off the Liberal Party. He cannot remain around now. With friends like the NATS you don't need enemies.  With Abbot as President their fate is assured. The Ghosts of the Past should be kept under Wraps to avoid the Inevitable embarrassment Likely. Nev

Instead of support for ex-defence personnel, the Budget provides an additional $44.3 M to Office of Special Investigator to investigate and prosecute alleged Afghanistan war crimes.

[facthunter]

So you don't want such allegations Investigated Properly? They'd only Be Prosecuted IF enough evidence was found.  Nev

It's the cost of the investigation that consumes a great deal of the budget. An investigation might uncover many things, but each thing in a prosecution must be a provable fact. Sad, but true. 

 

But PMCC has done us a diservice by not telling us how much has been allocated to support for ex- and serving members.
