Shorten is the legitimate good guy in this saga, he started fighting this in opposition and has been against it from the start.

So, I heard Shortens been using his speaking time, in parliament, to read into hansard 'impacted persons/victims' testimonies. So there is a permanent record of the disruptions to their lives.
Its a pretty champion move. Because it means future pollies will have a harder time minimising these events for political purposes.
this is actually a massive vindication, the media strung him up over this issue
I wish Shorten had the opportunity to be prime minister. Seems like a genuinely good person.
That potato head fucker can fuck right off. The pack of them bastards 'gleefully' implemented an obviously idiotic scheme that resulted in trauma and deaths throughout the most vulnerable. They are on par with the Irish priests in the Ryan Report who argued that "No-one told us it was wrong to rape kids"
Fuck off Dutton, your time to speak was when your party in power was killing people with this shit
He really is stuffed here: nowhere to go but on the attack.
What a lonely, bitter existence these Liberals must lead, forced to drag themselves to the next election through their own mud.
No no no, he's got a point. I'm feeling a lot of glee that consequences might actually be forthcoming.
