MT is not going to lead the liberals to become another left whinge party. The last time he tried that he got kicked out.

Serious stories on: financially advised investors; off the plan building development investors; people involved with paying out money for services that weren't and or incorrectly provided; practically any scams reported in detailed news media stories, all investors involved in losing large amounts of money. Most all stories I have heard have no beneficial conclusion to the victims having had lost money.

Even where some government authority orders banks to provide compensation for bad financial advice, does any significant number of investors receive significant compensation in followed up stories.

Not knowing what individual legal professionals would say about chances of obtaining financial compensation. My comment here is to state that such media stories that seem to expose the failure to provide investor protection against: bad asset valuations; bankruptcy; high risk asset investments passed off as minimal risk investments; advisors own financial interests recommendations; investment advice providers seen in the company of and or recommended by respected S&P listed banks.

Selective media programs using around ten minutes of time consumed detailed interviewing victims of large sums of money being lost. Messages in media stories are that pursuing legal avenues will result in falling into a sink hole of disappointment. Recent, legal firm predominately into class action compensation suing, “Slater and Gordon” share price slump on news that Great Briton changed the rules on suing companies, increased ideas that seeking financial compensation is pointless.

The many stories exampling: FIFA president corruption scandals; union officials' miss-spent money scandals, has perpetrators barely suffering any consequences, other than perceived as being embarrassed. Media listeners accumulated assumptions of money being lost, lost money never being recovered stories adds to judgements that pursuing compensation for lost money is fruitless.

My accusation here is such stories are propaganda “don't bother seeking legal redress compensation against bad financial advice and or anything.

My assumption, that far more people have been losing life savings than are reported. Record low bank term deposit interest rates are driving savers into financial advisers increased risky asset investments. Bank customers merely have to complain of low bank interest rates, bank employees guide customers towards advisers.

Past four years, I've received at least 6 land line phone calls from the same sounding man having an Asian accent, stating to be calling from Microsoft in Sydney. The first phone call, wanting my to connect my computer to a phone-line wall socket, without asking me if I had a service provider. I never complied to the scam.

In around 2014, ABC Breakfast television program flagged that telephone scammers claiming to be from Microsoft were known for the last two years were calling all over Australia. Scammers were claiming to have been informed of a virus placed on called person's computer. Asking victims to turn on their computer, being guided to error logs. Scammers claiming harmless coloured yellow triangles are serious warnings that computers needed to be fixed at a cost of $400.

I have a neighbour who informs me, she has paid out $690.00 to correct a bad decision while being connected to the Internet, to allow a pop-up window to convince her, her computer seriously needed to be fixed. She allowed her computer to be scanned and altered. After her using her credit card to pay $500.00 to a stated US company that first scanned her computer. Her description was that she was left in safe mode large icons. Another $190.00 was paid to a local computer repairer to fix the problem.

Why do these same year after year scams continue? My assumption is that media stories that inform people viruses exist, occasionally warn people scams are performed by organised criminals in foreign countries, are allowed because, “I hope you guessed it”, a hidden ruling class and or rich influential people protected from prosecution, are organising scams, reducing consumer spending powers, using Darwin natural selection theory to justify scams.

Mentioning anti-virus, malware protection software, the protection industry is older than what's said to be the oldest industry, prostitution. Generally, the protector is often the cause that needs to be protected against or from.

My argument is: The media doesn't provide enough detailed information either by websites or news print for computer users to be informed what not to do when faced with pop-up adverts wanting to scan users’ computers.

Microsoft's regular security patches, doesn't attempt to block and or advise what needs to be blocked. Any selective software blocking software available is long overdue. No selective block once selective pop-ups appears “block this pop-up” that I know of.

As in my experience, I query to know why the instant a new Microsoft OS computer is connected to the Internet, pop-ups appear informing new computer users that the computer has many faults and needs to be scanned. Scanned results shows many faults that need fixing at a cost of X amount of US dollars.

Many fix it pop-ups having approved Microsoft symbols, wanting money to perform tasks on Microsoft provided OS software, Microsoft doesn't perform for free.
I land line phoned Microsoft's provided phone number in 2013 to ask why my computer was performing badly soon after connecting to the Internet. An Indian sounding male wanted me to download my windows 7 operating system copying image onto his servers for a cost of US$50.00. I refused... he immediately hung up.

Seeking readable advice on Microsoft incorrectly performing OS issues from Microsoft website, can have asked question leading to links that looped me around in circles.

My difficult to prove arguments on closed behind doors democracies are part of a confidence trick to allow bad events to happen to citizens on the pretence that voters are looked after in order to secure votes for the best performance of two political parties.

Not only does school education provide voting adults an ability to believe what they're told. That adults are very reluctant to doubt what's already believed. Adults are reluctant to believe that the above theories of a rich ruling class and or influential “Blacklist” like cabal controlling all persistent scams are probable.

The last 2015 episode of The Bolt Report had a guest speaker whom I failed to catch his name. His expertise credentials stated was related to marketing products. When asked why Internet articles are seeing Malcolm Turnbull favourably. The guest speaker concluded “supporters of Malcolm Turnbull feel smugness using supporting words”. Ideas that want to be journalists wanting to be discovered may have been mentioned.

I could easily assume using ideas of where have all the religious protestant ministers and Catholic priests who may have bad children, gone, now that church ministry employment passed on to their children has disappeared. I suggest, most descendants have entered: the media; banking; share markets; corporate management; politics... Jobs for the boys network. Good jobs are found by family associations, who knows who.

Myself, hearing many years ago that Masons in Australia (even if Masons have passed away) look after other Masons children's employment opportunities with easy work management jobs, in hope that other Masons will look after their children with similar intentions.
Ask any person from the Philippines. Good employment opportunities are often found in family work forces. When one family member does something wrong and or steals something, all the family suffers disgrace. Children brought up as a family unit income self-supporting system, children will be conditioned to realise if children are court stealing the family will be branded as untrustworthy employees. This is another way of suppressing wages into subsistence incomes, without increased rebellious marching in the streets, name taking by authorities.
