Imagine being so idle and bored that you sit around reading a newspaper for tips on how to spend your mega-riches? If they’d saved this for 1 April & it might have even been funny. Assh*les.

Editorial: A decade ago, it would have been unthinkable for a man who led the country to go and shill for a foreign military. Decency and clearance would have restrained it. AUKUS is less a security partnership and more a one-man superannuation scheme. satpa.pe/2kRfq9r

The one-man super scheme

Of all the things Scott Morrison does not understand, and the list is long and often embarrassing, somewhat in the shape of his prime ministership, China would rate very close to the top.

NSW ICAC was widely condemned by politicians & the media after they took just under 2yrs to conclude their investigation into Gladys Berejiklian’s corruption.

Is anyone condemning the NACC who after well OVER 2yrs is still investigating Robodebt? Why not? #auspol

Such a relief, isn’t it? Vet nurses are amazing aren’t they - my girl has been getting treatment too, and she always comes out with a lovingly created heart on the wrap over the IV site. It’s the little things …. 💜❤️

If you're wondering whether or not to get a flu shot, I didn't get one in time, and I just had a fever dream where I was in the Drew Carey Show because several days ago I was on the Wikipedia page for the Drew Carey Show. You don't have to do this to yourself.

These churches are abusive cults. We must help end the protections that allow children & adults to be abused in secret for years.
We must also block their attempt to win seats/gov. #Springst #Auspol

With people like Linda Reynolds elected to represent constituents, who needs an opposition? Even in government they put making everyone miserable right up there at the top of the to-do list. You have no shame, Linda Reynolds. No respect and, I hope, no success in this. #auspol

No one will remember anything Linda Reynolds did in politics, but we will remember this forever. What a piece of sh#t.
