TONY ABBOTT’s FOOT-IN-MOUTH PROBLEM

The following statements were made by Tony Abbott on the 11th Febraury 2010 in regard to the 4 Home Improvement Program (HIP) deaths.

These comments put the (current) 19,265 COVIDGATE deaths in their proper context, which is that most of these deaths are culpable homicides and those responsible for these fatalities need to be held accountable before the courts.

When it comes to the problem of ‘Foot-in-Mouth’, these comments by Tony Abbott are a text book example as every statement made by Tony Abbott is equally applicable to the Robo-Debt disaster, the Work-for-the Dole deaths, the Welfare-Gate deaths, and almost every one of the 19,265 COVIDGATE deaths.

Tony Abbott’s comments are also a case of “What is good for the goose is also good for the gander” for the bottom line is that over a time frame that is measured in decades, politcal decisions have resulted in the deaths of vulnerable people, a very large, absolutely unbelievable, number of very vulnerable people:

HANSARD 11th February 2011:

Mr ABBOTT—Why bother about dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, as the shadow minister for finance said, when all you have got to do is get the money out of the door?

The direct consequences of getting the money out of the door in a program that was completely maladministered and effectively unregulated is that four Australians have died.

That is the truth.

The minister says, ‘It’s all the fault of the shonks.’

I say to the minister there were always going to be shonks in a program like this.

As the minister for finance has admitted, that was built into the program. They expected shonks out there and they did not care about the undotted i’s and the uncrossed t’s.

The environment minister was warned not once, not twice but repeatedly.

He was warned on at least 13 separate occasions and he took no effective action.

The first specific warning was back on 9 March last year, when the authoritative body, the national electrical association, warned of the inherent dangers.

So concerned by this warning was this minister that it took seven weeks for these reputable and concerned experts to get even a pro-forma, fob-off departmental reply, promising of course that they were going to be consulted. But they then heard absolutely nothing.

Then in October there is the first death.

The first death comes in October because the minister has failed to heed that warning.

On 16 October the master electricians association calls for the suspension of this program—no training programs, no issuing of new guidelines and standards, but the suspension of this program because there was the risk that it would kill people.

So what does the minister do? On 1 November he bans metal clips.

The warnings kept coming and the deaths kept coming.

He gets a warning on 26 November, a press release from the national electrical association. We have raised, this press release says:

… concerns of the risk of serious injury, death or house fires …

We have warned, this press release says:

… governments and consumers on a number of occasions in recent months of the dangers associated with installing insulation in roof cavities where cabling is present.

Listen to this, Mr Speaker:
The recent Federal Government stimulus package measures have exacerbated these problems without the establishment of adequate enforceable inspection safety measures and placed home owners and occupiers in serious danger.

This is what this minister has failed to do: he has failed to protect installers and home occupiers from serious danger.

After that public warning there were three more deaths.

Three months went past before finally he took action to suspend the foil insulation program. It is just not good enough.

As a result of this minister’s incompetence 37,000 houses have had this foil insulation installed and over 1,000 of them, according to his own departmental
audit, are now electrified.

We have live houses, houses that are a potential risk to their occupiers because of the ineptitude of this minister, and he thinks none of this is his fault.

***If he was a company director in New South Wales he would be charged with industrial manslaughter.* *That is the truth.***

MY COMMENT: Re: The warnings kept coming and the deaths kept coming.

Check out the date of this (warnings kept coming) response from Natasha Stott-Despoja, which is dated May 2001:

10th MAY 2001 – 22 YEARS AGO THE AUSTRALIAN DEMOCRATS KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING, BUT IT WAS NOT A VOTE WINNER ISSUE

[First] A Question of Law: Why wasn’t Peter Garrett and the other public officials who were responsible for the 4 Home Improvement Program deaths held responsible for the lethal consequences of their actions or decisions in the courts?

Some contractors were prosecuted for violating industrial safety laws, but the politicians and the bureaucrats who ‘master-minded’ the lethal Home Improvement Program escaped being prosecuted for the 4 deaths.

[Second] When it comes to repeated warnings, scroll down the list of Ronald’s space posting that are on the right of this posting.

13 YEARS OF WARNINGS:

The fact is that I have been warning about the murderously lethal dangers of unconstitutional, unlawful welfare policies and practices on this website since the 24th February 2010.

Tomorrow is the 13th anniversary of my first Ronald’s space warning about the defrauding and killing of welfare recipients, which the Federal Police did not want to know about.

**Consider also the dozens of videos that I have posted on YouTube since the 24th August 2010, e.g., ‘The Pauline Hanson Factor’, which can be seen at this URL:**

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIRBX86jO8E

On the 29th April 2011, I posted the ‘Canberra Killers Club‘ video, which made very clear my public opinion about the presumed ‘right’ of the Federal Parliament to systematically defraud and to randomly kill vulnerable welfare recipients:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0WEN5ix0Fc

**As warnings go, that video was a very clear message to the members of the Canberra Killers Club, that what the Australian Federal Parliament was doing was not lawful, and yet it was simply ignored.**

**Please note that a follow-up video, ‘Killer Planes and Killer Parliaments’ can be viewed at the following URL:**

DON’T CALL THE COPS BECAUSE…

As the 2 letters below make quite clear, I have been warning politicians, bureacrats, and the police, for over 20 years, and not one member of the Federal Parliament, not one bureaucrat, and not one police officer, has paid any attention to the hundreds of warnings that I have sent out over the last 2 decades. (Apart from telling me to shut up!)

Note the date of this letter – John Howard knew of my concerns about the systematic defrauding and the random killing of welfare recipients in August 2003.

John Howard did absolutely nothing to stop this senseless systemic slaughter.

Instead of calling the cops, the Legal & Constitutional Affairs Committee ignored my warnings and hit me with the following parliamentary privilege suppression order:

UNDATED SENATE SUPPRESSION ORDER – ISSUED NOVEMBER 2005

**Submission 287 to the November 2005 Anti-Terrorism Bill #2 Inquiry was secretly classified as “confidential” and still remains classified at the time of this posting.**

As bad as that suppression order is, 15-weeks later, the Employment, Workplace Relations & Education Committee (EWRE) callously dismissed the fact that bad government policies were exploiting, defrauding and randomly killing welfare recipients by simply dismissing the deadly consequences of their actions as “irrelevant” !

Below is the cover page of my submission:

Here was the EWRE Committee’s official response to my warnings:

EWRE RESPONSE TO MY WARNING – “IRRELEVANT”

**The last paragraph of the EWRE Committee’s letter, which contains the callous “irrelevant” response, is shown in more clarity below:**

TOUGH LUCK MATE!

Make no mistake – the dismissal of my warnings as “irrelevant” was a very clear message to me that these people did not want to know about the unlawful, lethal harms that they were causing – in effect, they were ‘Doing a Garrett’ some five years before Peter Garrett allegedly ignored the warnings about the deadly flaws in the Home Improvement Program.

When it comes to ignoring warnings, the following statements from a Community Affairs Reference Committee hearing on the 8th March 2017 are totally surreal and are utterly unbelievable:

THIS FRAUD WARNING WAS TELEVISED, AND IGNORED BY VIEWERS

On page 14 of the Hansard Minutes is this statement concerning the defrauding of welfare recipients, which every Senator and every TV viewer apparently ignored:

“managers instructed front line staff not to report errors that they find”:

If the statement is true, then that is criminal abuse of public office, i.e., brazen fraud that is a crominal abuse of public office. Tragically, this criminal conduct sometimes had the following lethal consequence:

MURDER FOR FINANCIAL GAIN IS MURDER BY ANY OTHER NAME

**Same Hansard page, same witness, same fraud, but a new crime, i.e, murder for financial gain, with the murder weapon being ‘Duress Induced Suicide’ [DIS].**

On the 30th May 2019, this fraud resulted in the murder-by-suicide of 22-year-old Jarrad Madgwick:

ROBODEBT and WELFARE=GATE ‘DOUBLE-TAP’ VICTIM, JARRAD MADGWICK WITH HIS MUM, KATH

His mum, Kath, has been outspoken in opposing this criminal abuse of vulnerable people.

How many Centrelink staff know that under Section 13A(7) of the South Australian criminal code, fraud driven suicides are murders.

[Third]: When it comes to ‘doing a Garrett’ and ignoring warnings about ROBODEBT, in 2010, I sent emails to EVERY MEMBER of the Federal Parliament warning of the deadly consequences of what I then called ‘Waivergate’ (Robodebt) – the response from the Environment, Communications & Arts Committee (ECA) was to falsely claim that my warnings were “outside the terms of reference“, which was impossible since Term of Reference #3 was “Any other matters“:

Another “don’t copy, don’t distribute” Senate gag intended to prevent the general public from finding out about the death toll caused by the Howard Government’s illegal Breaching performance Indicator target Quotas.

In accordance with tradition, the above response also contained a parliamentary privilege gag order that has had the practical consquence of concealing the mass defrauding and the serial murder of welfare recipients for the last 13-years.

[Fourth – COVID-GATE] As I have pointed out in my last few postings, the Federal Parliament has ignored warnings that the Pnemonic Plague Virus, which we know as ‘COVID-19′, is a very lethal and a very dangerous disease that spreads rapidly via the media of international tourists travelling on airliners and cruise ships.

CHECK OUT THESE IGNORED WARNINGS BY THE W.H.O.

SITREP #11 – 31st January 2020:

SITREP #11 – 31st JANUARY 2020 W.H.O. SOUNDIED THE PLAGUE ALARM

**What part of “WHO has declared the outbreak to be a public health emergency of international concern” is difficult to understand?**

Scott Morrison, and quite likely every politician in Australia, along with every Chief Health Officer and every Deputy Chief health Officer in the nation knew that COVID-19 posed a very serious danger to every person in Australia.

So, why, after ignoring the above warning, why did they also disregard the ICAO-WHO directive that very bluntly ordered member nations to obey the law?

GOOGLE: 6 march 2020 icao who joint statement covid

Most search engines can find the above document and again, the question is why was this directive to stop spreading COVID-19 ignored?

SITREP #51: Yes, I also posted this yesterday, but the question is still the same – why did most nations, including Australia, fail to obey the law and stop tourists and international airlines from spreading COVID-19 around the world?

WHY WHO DECLARED A GLOBAL PANDEMIC

The 3 reasons why the World health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic on the 11th March 2020 are very easy for most people to understand:

[1] COVID-19 was, and still is, a highly infectious Pneumonic Plague causing disease – over 679 MILLION people have been infected since the WHO declared COVID-19 to be a rapid spreading disease.

**[2]COVID-19 was, and still is, a very severe disease – over 6,970,000 people have died from this Pneunomic Plague Virus:**

**[3] Most governments, including the Morrison government, “did a Garrett”, and this is the current global consequence of “the Garrett Syndrome” (TGS):**

THE GARRETT SYNDROME & COVID-19: DO NOTHING AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS

As Professor Petrovoski (Flinders University) so aptly put it, “Politicians waited to see if the rabbit would get out of the hat.”

In Australia, this is the last known consequence of ‘The Garrett Syndrome’:

POL;ITICIANS SAY THE PANDEMIC IS OVER – THE DEATHS SAY IT IS GETTING WORSE

As a direct consequence of Scott Morrison and other Australian politicians “doing a Garrett”, the “scorecard” has risen from just 1 case of COVID-19 on the 25th January 2020 to a staggering 11,347,698 as of the 15th Febraury 2023, with 19,265 confirmed deaths.

When was the decision made to shut down international air travel is now a very serious question of law as most of these deaths are violations of Australian anti-terrorism laws?

POL;ITICIANS SAY THE PANDEMIC IS OVER – THE DEATHS SAY IT IS GETTING WORSE

As a nation, with 19,265 people now dead after being exposed to a Pneumonic Plague Virus (COVID-19), we are paying a very high price for the impact of ‘The Garrett Syndrome”.

With 2,236 deaths in just over 6 weeks, the pandemic is far from over and my advice is to take extreme care to protect yourself.

Until next time:

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
