Centrelink Prosecutions: Bunging a spanner in the works.

Essential viewing for anyone about to be prosecuted. The refusal of the Federal Police to investigate alleged rorting by federal politicians due to the "gravity/sensitivity" of such investigations, plus the refusal by the Federal Police to also investigate the secret and unreported Breaching Quota triggered deaths is highly sensitive. Perhaps these issues are sensitive enough that given the choice between explaining why welfare recipients are prosecuted but politicians are not, Centrelink and the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions may prefer to settle out of court?

Who dares wins. Will politicians and bureaucrats risk being prosecuted by going ahead with the prosecution of welfare recipients? It is an interesting question and a defensive tactic that may be very effective in establishing a more equitable balance of power between welfare recipients and the $200,000 a year Centrelink "welfare" officials who enthusiastically pursue the 10 prosecutions a day policy.
