Nick McKenzie's covert surveillance that revealed the dark side of politics | 60 Minutes Australia

[@HeyyyitsLissy]

60 minutes Australia doing the real work. Your coverage of Scientology and politics have been incredible to me as an American. Appreciate what you’re doing

[@geeky_gunner]

Australian politics is so dirty. Who actually votes for this person in to power after seeing all of this?

[@ZambeziSentinel]

Well done 60 min Australia!!!!!!!

[@charliemctruth]

REAL investigative journalism.

[@notathome13]

Nope if the deletion of public comments is part of their agenda!

[@hman9488]

How does this person avoid a hefty jail sentence. The whole party should be stripped for allowing this.

[@terrylovesenegal]

Beyond these corrupt disgusting political games and persons, I blame Australia for leaving such a vulnerable population so ignorant of how legally things work or don't

Should do a report on Daniel Andrews!

[@impermanent-being]

It's fascinating how 60 minutes managed to record all those audio and video clips.

[@miki_9034]

IKR, it's very suspicious. The doc also tried to paint Daniel Andrews as a victim. He is one of the most corrupt & power hungry politicians in Australia.

[@CoastfishTV]

When bad people are put in a positions of leadership, it's time to be scared about how you live your life. Sadly, this time is now, and those who are voting these people in are the ones who are contributing to their own demise. That is us.

[@HeyyyitsLissy]

I’m in the US and I don’t blame voters. I blame the politicians who behave just like this on all sides and justify or defend it when stuff like this happens. There’s a real lack of shame these days and that behavior from our leaders (or their fellows that defend it) influences others. In turn, virtues we used to admire and expect, like honor or leadership, aren’t rewarded anymore - just power.

[@lookingoverhell3448]

this is old ,,this is the guy who came forwards with information and nothing happend to the accused . the whole government needs to be shut down and all of them sacked ,

The businessman was very wise not to forge the signatures. Shows he has integrity. The corrupt ones should end up in jail.

[@Nick-kz1lb]

i still dont see any corrupt politicians in jail at all. This is australia legal system.

[@adrainmcconnell8918]

they said in the documentary that he appeared to forge the signatures later after pressure from Somnyerack.

[@herefortheluls2267]

Has there been any consequences from this?

[@sethlee8796]

None

[@peterh0862]

Why is it that with continued breaches of this type of activity, that the Labor Party has not been deregistered? Don’t continue to fine the Party. Cancel their ability to operate!!

I would love for 60 Minutes Australia to investigate the Canadian Liberal Party - lots of criminality within our federal government

[@colinboniface194]

Astonishing... Wh6y is the guy not in jail...

[@michaelduffin2961]

so what has transpired? Confrontatiob, arrests???

[@dadirritechno]

What a language, this is embarrassing. This guy should go at lest 5 years in jail and life ban for getting invaded in politics. His mind is criminal

[@darrenwilson7429]

What a joke .

[@leongt1954]

Their all angels compared to chairman Dan Andrews

[@paulforder591]

Shows me how corrupt Australian politics is behind the scenes & regionally. Now that Somyurek's true nature has been exposed, he should be jailed. He's a crude piece of work. Well done, Nick McKenzie, and the 60 Minutes Australia team!! 😊👌🇦🇺

[@johnhawkinshawkins1284]

what's new? Same all over the world, some get caught, most don't.

[@Jackson-pu7gd]

Why are you not making it more clear that these are old re-runs? This was aired in 2020. Usually when people see a new video on a youtube channel, they think it's new.

[@Jackson-pu7gd]

​@@bruh-xe7ue yeah but they should still make it clear in the video with a banner or something in case someone misses it (or gets to it from a link). To be honest, i didn't even see that in the thumbnail until you mentioned it, i just saw the title, and that it was posted 45 minutes ago and clicked.

[@Idonotcommentanymore]

Because people are tired of the crooked democracy. They're trying to scare you away from the other options.

[@suegeew9727]

We need Australian 60 Minutes to cover Trump this deeply. No one in the USA has.

[@sethlee8796]

They should do the democrats as well. Even here in Australia we can see how corrupt that party is. Democrats and republicans are just as bad as each other.

[@terencenxumalo1159]

good work

[@kjova251]

This is one of the reasons I am for the smallest government possible. People always want gov't to be the solution and it balloons to have them in charge of everything but you are literally handing over more and more of your moeny for them to control the way they want.

[@ricksturm6816]

It's not the size of Government that dictates their ability to enact and enforce policy. That is data collection and the systems behind them. So if you want the Government to control your life less, make data gathering more complex. Counter-intuitively, the larger the size of the Government, the harder it is to manage, and the more democratized it is. If you have 1 person in charge of the whole country, you have to bribe one person, if you have 100,000 people in charge of the country, that is a much harder beast to satiate.

[@romanbrandle319]

Small government, we have been told that for over twenty years, and the only thing that has achieved is a tripling of the rate of homelessness, and a lack mental health care. And the privatization of service has been an absolute rip off, like private health care what a scam, our private sector is vastly more corrupt than our government most of that is the liberal party's doing.

[@muralithalluri4239]

Are you suggesting that we turn into America? Get rid of our health care? education system? Because we’ve seen what happens and how that works out.

Very much obliged to 60 minutes. I subscribed and liked. James J Walsh in Limerick city Ireland 🇮🇪

[@Captincoffeecake]

Should not have received this award. He is a slander and has made a lot of defamatory comments about financial institutions in 2023. He has lost multiple judgments in the court of law in Australia, which is very difficult to lose. He has excessively lied in court and should be the model journalist for what not to do. Probably a terrible human all around and I feel bad for any fool that he reads his publications. Nick McKenzie is the dark side of politics in journalism people should not look at his stuff.

[@i.ehrenfest349]

His language is “not only bullying and misogynistic, but also offensive”.

Welcome to Australian politics.. time n time again.. clean the SWAMP out. Forget Klaus and his side show, put people back in that have a SPINE and move Australia forwards..

[@Nick-wh4jt]

Like the Liberal Party? Have people forgotten who facilitated the fire sale of Australia to begin with? Liberal/Labor are two sides of the same coin, you want to know where Australia is headed? Look at the UK, and what we got from the likes of the Abbott government, not one high official there is "Anglo" and you'll be lucky if your grandchildren pay off your mortgage. How about we have an electorate that starts to pull their heads out of their proverbial backsides

[@erikr5179]

Ok see you in court

[@Paochinblog]

It is true that in every political sphere, there are individuals who exploit their authority and engage in misconduct. Some notable examples include Mike Pezzullo, Peter Dutton, Angus Taylor, and Barnaby Joyce. Surprisingly, 60 Minutes has not conducted any investigations into these corrupt entities, despite the fact that their actions have cost taxpayers billions of dollars and still holding jobs that paid by tax payers. The reasons behind this lack of scrutiny are questionable.

[@petesmitt]

Pezzullo has been sacked and the other 3 are politicians; they are voted in, not employed in jobs.

[@peterkehoe481]

Another paid Labor shill. You say you are anti CCP but you support the party in bed with them.

[@robzippier1332]

ALP

[@Paochinblog]

@@robzippier1332 Misinformation won't get you anywhere. The LNP is/was the party that cut down all our essential services, rotted our Medicare, NDIS, PBS, among many others. They sold many of our infrastructures, which can be backed up by documents. The worst yet was the robodebt, treating average Aussies like criminals while they dip their hands in Australia's treasury. Truly unbelievable. And now, they get their Hill$ong mates trolling social media platforms, defaming Labor, hoping to get their hands on Australia's treasury again. So brazen like their thugs in government and banks

[@ricksturm6816]

You can be wrong many times then. If you have politicians not getting paid, then they have to get money from somewhere, so they'll be encouraged to make more shady deals to put food on their tables. If you are suggesting that only people who can afford to go without payment should be politicians, their needs and wants are completely different than everyday people and they won't make decisions that are in the best interests of all Australians.
