Trade union royal commission: Federal Government to release findings almost two years after hearings began We need an effective standing Trade Union Royal Commission to sit for years.

The ABC report that is linked to in the opening post omits all the critical stories from the sworn evidence while pretending to list them
Unsurprising, of course, but this shows, perhaps inadvertently, why Lord Waffle will soft-pedal the TURC report. The MSM will punish him with adverse spite if he does anything more than tokenism – and we all know it
There is no way out of this. Textor is right
I recall – maybe wrongly – that Textor said that Abbott’s supporters do not count. Do you have a better quote from Mark Textor – with a URL. Thanks. Interesting too that Senator Abetz today floating idea of Cabinet post for TA.
Politics is entertaining. Just a pity they are allowed to run the country when ALDI could do a sounder job.
TURC Referrals for Prosecution:

Interesting enough to see what the various prosecuting bodies may do to evade all or most of this, but interesting too for whom is NOT listed in this Referral
Textor was commenting on conservatives disgruntled by the Lord Waffle ascendancy :
“Liberal Party strategist Mark Textor agrees. He says that, even if he is wrong, the loss of disgruntled conservatives will be outweighed by the appeal of a more moderate party to swinging voters. “The qualitative evidence is they don’t matter,’’ Mr Textor said. “The sum of a more centrist approach outweighs any alleged marginal loss of so-called base voters.’’”

We’ll have to wait and see whether the Turncoat’s newfound centre Left supporters depart once reality bites and the Chairman is forced to finally make a few non-kumbaya decisions that the luvies won’t like?
As for Shorten, I’d be surprised if Turncoat doesn’t use the TURCs findings to force concessions out of Labor in return for extending a presidential pardon to the union’s man/men. After all what’s he got to lose, with Shorten the proverbial dead man walking.
Against my better judgement, I watched Turnbull et al on Sky waffle on about TURC
One of the journos present asked if any action would be taken against the corrupt union heavies identified in the TURC report – in her words: “This has been going on for years and NOTHING ever happens”
Since any successful prosecution lies mostly in the hands of State Govt authorities, it is self-evident why nothing ever happens. Lord Waffle and his coterie just could not bring themselves to answer this with any honesty
The Senate has already refused relevant legislation three times now – easily a DD trigger. But all we hear is crickets …
This is all about physics – heat transfers – thermodynamics. Most climatologists are not qualified in physics and do not understand entropy maximization, thermodynamics or heat transfer mechanisms.
There is no valid physics which can be used to show water vapor and carbon dioxide causing the Earth’s surface to be warmer. Correct, verifiable physics can be used to prove they cool. The AGW hypothesis and the “heat creep” hypothesis are mutually exclusive: only one can be right. The latter is supported by empirical evidence and experiments, as well as by the Second Law of Thermodynamics; the former is not supported by anything and easily refuted with correct physics, because the solar radiation reaching the surfaces of Earth and Venus is far too short of the mark and cannot possibly explain observed temperatures. Furthermore, there is no valid physics that claims (as the IPCC et al do) that radiation can be compounded and the sum of back radiation and solar radiation used in Stefan-Boltzmann calculations to explain the 288K estimated mean surface temperature of Earth, or the 735K mean surface temperature of Venus, which would need flux of about 20,000W/m^2. That is why I can confidently offer AU $10,000 for proving me wrong, subject to the conditions on my blog.
Hi Doug, I guess you’ve seen the ridiculous offer of a bet by Boslough on WUWT. Challenge him with yours and we will probably see him go to water just as it appears Huffpo has.

Lots of Boslough comments …
