Elon claims Twitter is the town-hall of society where free speech can thrive… but really it is more like the public bar at the local hotel where people speak absolute shit with a very colourful turn of phrase. It is not a good environment for children and we weren’t allowed to go there.

“We can have our domestic squabbles at home, but to the world we must present a united front.

And that is why the wilful hopes of Anthony Albanese being scolded by Trump were not just anti-Albo but anti-Australian.”

That is why the move by Sussan Ley to undermine Australia by telling governing US Republicans the Coalition would reverse the government’s position on Palestine was so dangerous.”
