Before we get onto more serious matters covered by the Twitterverse this past week, The Bug‘s tweet-of-the-week judges couldn’t go past this wonderful put down by Linden Raven (above and below) of Melbourne-based humorist Andrew Bolt.

Ouch, Linden. Burn! Bolt! Burn!

Okay, time to get serious. Any BUGgers out there starting to suspect, like we are, that the Robodebt royal commission should perhaps be shut down immediately while we retain a skerrick of respect for the Australian public service and its senior practitioners?

Like the lady shown below in this tweet exchange between Philip O’Leary and Jim Latta.

We at The Bug are no legal experts but if laws don’t exist to charge this dreadful person who blended startling incompetence and brown nosery with a total indifference and disregard for the lives of innocent people lost after they were pursued for illegal non-debts, then what a shitty little country this is. Surely, at the very least, it must be a civil offence to impersonate a public servant?

And, sadly, she was not alone in her disgraceful performance in the #RobodebtRC witness box.

Samm summed it up pretty well.

Other Twitterers referred to the almost total lack of interest in the mainstream mediocre to the #robodebtRC hearings. Take it away, T158 and joan kunze.

Joan, of course, had a rhetorical tongue in her cheek because as sure as night followed day for Andrew Peacock, all of our media mongrels would have been all over this #RobotdebtRC like a post-Schoolies rash if it had been cruelly introduced and doggedly pursued by a Labor government. Newscorpse would be putting out extra special daily editions.

Let’s give Joan a second go, seeing Alan Tudge’s evidence this week is bound to be totally ignored by our biased, shitty, MSM that will be concentrating on more important things, such as Peter Dutton’s daily call for more detail on the Voice.

And Michael Secomb did as good a summing up as Samm managed.

Righto, now onto The Voice, that the MSM is trying so, so hard to scuttle.

Eddy Jokovich and Riff Raff had the Potato with Dead Eyes in their sights.

And on the subject of Aunty, Bruce Buchan asked a question many of us have pondered for some time…

Our good friends Ronnie Salt and Amante2 mused on Australia Day-related themes…

And on a totally different matter, let’s finish with Kenny Devine’s delightful little poke at James Morrow.

As we at The Bug have said many, many times, we don’t give a flying fuck what The Daily Telegraph calls itself as long as it’s not a newspaper, and we don’t give a flying fuck what James Morrow calls himself as long as it’s not a journalist.
