      The previous Liberal government to be clear, along with senior public servants associated with said government.

        there is no functional difference between the LNP and the ALP; both major parties simply employ different flavours of window dressing on their corporate stoogery

        Ever wonder why unfathomably cruel policy passed under the LNP never faces repeal? Or why the ‘woke commie progressive’ economic policy of the ALP protects the same interests as the LNP while tossing paltry 3-5 million conditional grants to token 12 month ‘social welfare’ dog-whistles?

        If you honestly believe we have any integrity outside of the non-dark money parties, you’re a fool.

        for context, all corporate donations in Australia are dark money, our regulation and enforcement with regards to corruption is basically nonexistent; Australian politics makes the CCP look like a democratic ethics convention.

        EDIT: let’s see if the ALP has it’s aspiring media whore brigade on Lemmy already. ETA: lol, yes

          This royal commission is a prime example that ALP and the coalition are not the same. That phrase is just propaganda pushed by corrupt politicians (predominantly Libs/Nat) to justify and deflect their own actions.

            Talk to me when they actually charge those responsible for their actions, until then it’s more of the same culture war bullshit.

              I don’t think it’s a culture war bullshit to point out one party is systemically corrupt compared to the other, it’s just the reality. Fact is not all MPs and public servants are corrupt. The majority do the right thing and want to serve the public. To say they are all the same is just plain, flat out ignorant. I do hope those responsible are held to account. I hope this will give at least some closure to the victims. Give it time the report was only just released.

                Just so I understand, you are asserting that the ALP is NOT systematically corrupt? You think they’re beholden to the Australian community, or the donors who employ them when it’s the other teams turn?

          there are policies that the parties share but the ALP does not include the racists, conspiracy theorists or overt corporate pandering of the LNP.

          the arrogance, corruption and sheer inhumanity of the robodebt program is purely the result of the LNP. there is no ALP equivalent
