Is Linda Reynolds determined to make Australians hate her more than they already do?

Such a twisted individual. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Banning breastfeeding mums from lounges isn't the only outdated thing Virgin Australia does.

They also insist on a gender binary title when booking and watch out if you choose Master because you don't care about titles, they'll assume you're an unaccompanied minor! www.smh.com.au/traveller/re...

Virgin Australia has an outdated view of who a ‘business traveller’ is

I never expected Australia would be like this. Maybe it’s an isolated incident, but it’s still shocking.

George Brandis' attack on increasing the number of MPs because it benefits Labor in the cities misses one key point. At any time, Libs could decide to stop being racist, start being a normal party, and win the cities again. #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

A larger parliament makes sense, but that’s not why Albanese wants one

The argument for increasing the size of the parliament is a respectable one. But Labor’s motivation for doing so would be a cold-blooded calculation of political advantage.

"Was this an attack on the Jewish community or an attack on Australia" asks a journo.

"Any attack on one is an attack on Australia" responds Albanese.

Well said, and a true Labor response. Attack one, attack all. #auspol

ASIO advised Albanese and Wong just yesterday that Iran was behind antisemitic attacks.

In just 24hrs they evacuated our embassy, got new legislation in place and expelled an Ambassador for the first time in post-war history.

This is leadership. Well. Done. #auspol

Sussan Ley and Peter Dutton spent YEARS blaming antisemitic attacks on Albanese.

Turns out it was Iran all along. They fell into Iran's trap, helping Iran's cause.

Thankfully Albo didn't take their bait. #auspol

Didn't even know who Sam Groth was until he threatened to sue the VIC Health Minister.

The minister's response was fair. She is right to say if a high school teacher courts their Year 11 student, that is wrong. #springst www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...

In 2017, Sussan Ley was forced to resign from the ministry after using travel expenses for 27 trips to the Gold Coast, including one where she bought a $795,000 apartment.

In 2025, she is Liberal Party leader.

Even in opposition, Liberals reward being dodgy. #auspol #icac
