Check out who owns the domain name: “handsoffthecfa.com”!

Just in case it’s ownership changes, here’s a photo of what I found!

(Click here for larger image)

So the Liberal Party registered the domain name way back in April of this year. Mm, that was even before all those front page articles from the Murdoch minions talking about the CFA betrayal and union thuggery. Remarkably prescient of them.

Puts the “Medicare” texts into perspective, doesn’t it. The Libs are really disingenuous with their tactics, but are you willing to bet on which story the MSM will focus on, and which it won’t?

Thanks for that. I would love to make thousands of voters (some of whom I know personally) aware of this – it is very common practice, of course. Politicians are probably the lowest scum on earth by choice. That’s being mature by their standards. Tony Abbott’s fan page was a shining example. If you followed up his “fans” facebook page and I.D., there were photoshopped identity photos among the real people who worked for the Abbott PR machine at the taxpayer’s expense. One pair of young men appeared to be very violent gay sex workers, from their home page content. To the point of being very scary. Not an image that was intended by Tony’s publicity machine, I’m sure.

How can I enlarge the pic?

Don, if you’re on a mobile device or an iPad simply ‘stretch’ it open with your fingers. Put thumb and finger in the centre of the pic and ‘stretch’ open.

More than that, purporting to be CFA representatives were seen dining with Liberal party members before the election campaign, personnel dressed in high vis fire fighting outfits were seen at voting booths protesting against Labor, but they were not CFA fire fighters, electronic billboards on the back of flatbed trucks and utilities with hands off CFA were obtained and run by the Liberals, not the CFA and texts of various forms (nothing specific detailed) had CFA at the bottom but they were produced by the Liberals. The CFA directly responded to the latter in saying they had nothing to do with them.

The Liberals better be careful how far they take the Medicare investigation or it might come back to bite them twice as hard.

For all that though the entire campaign probably only gained them one seat, Corangamite. Though the swing to Labor in Victoria was smaller than other states it was coming of a much higher base. A couple of rural seats where the CFA scare campaign was run hard hardly shifted away from Labor.

Not only did this probably cost the ALP 1 – 3 seats, we shouldn’t forget the awfully divisive affect it has had on small rural communities, especially those who have recently experienced bushfires. But as if the Libs would give a shit about that!

Did the Liberal CFA Lies lose the Labor Party Government?

Not honest at all LNP, and you have the hide to complain.

Next time the CFA turn up on my doorstep with their “subs” collection I’ll be asking them who do they want the cheque made out to Parakeelia or just Menzies house.
LeanneJuly 5, 2016 at 3:54 pm

Pot. Kettle. Black
The lnp are seriously lacking in common sense and have proven to the country they are not to be trusted with anything we value. Like health, education, science, aged care, unemployment, industrial relations….And so on and so forth. For the last three years the liars and white collar criminals have been in charge.

To give the CFA volunteers their due – they were probably Astroturfed rather than genuinely party political in a lot of cases.

Good work, Ross. The Libs have fanned the flames of the firies dispute for their own political advantage, just in time for the election.

That smell is coming back again it’s rotten idiot liberal losers, Hows that Paul “father superior” Kelly (australian) fri nite state 5 times that; Turnball would be so good for our country and Labor can’t govern What media blackout oh thats right this was an interview not a liberal add.

A similar scam went down in Indi:

Country Fire Authority denies making pro-Mirabella robocalls in Indi:
Residents say before the election they received automated calls from a CFA volunteer telling them how to vote.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/jul/05/country-fire-authority-denies-making-pro-mirabella-robocalls-in-indi

This story has legs, though we can expect the mainstream media to try to nobble it.

No wonder we dont trust the Turnbull “government”. Shane this info didnt come out earluer. I believe why the word “Medicare” became such a powerful tool for Labor in this campaign, is that it actually was shorthand for for ALL the things ordinary people dont trust about the Libs.
townsvilleblogJuly 6, 2016 at 12:50 pm

So the LNP have escalated this issue into an issue and used the dumb ole’ farmers to their political advantage, the National Party membership have never been the brightest lights, but this takes the cake lol!!!
