His own party thought he was so terrible, they knifed him. What more do we need to know?

“Deloitte “misused AI and used it very inappropriately: misquoted a judge, used references that are non-existent,” Pocock told Australian Broadcasting Corp. “I mean, the kinds of things that a first-year university student would be in deep trouble for.””

Did anybody ask Dutton if he read Statement from the Heart?
And if he did, what did he think of it.
And if not, why not????

Two years on from the Voice referendum, I’m never going to forgive the Liberal Party for their cruel destruction of hopes of reconciliation for political point scoring. Dutton, Price, Hastie, Abbott, Credlin, and all weak, cowardly moderates who stood by and said nothing. A dark stain on Australia.

Always noteworthy those journalists who even now are focusing all their energy on the Liberal Party.

• Labor: 5% deposit for home loan (rather than actual public housing)
• Liberals: fighting one another still
• Nationals: anti-renewables
• One Nation: upset by brown paper shopping bags
• Greens: principled stand on #Gaza
• Independents: principled policies on a range of important issues. #auspol

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Thank you Rick for Meanstreak.
But, also, thank you for your tiny but perfectly formed book on poverty.

Watched the Surviving Malka Leifer story on Stan. Absolutely heart-rending, what those sisters went through. And just for a change (not), an insular community that closes ranks to protect the perpetrator not the victim. 🙄

I encourage you to listen to Greta Thunberg's full statement. Thunberg seeks a just and sustainable world for all, rather than short-term financial gain for the few. The West's political leaders are exposed as complicit, unprincipled or cowardly. End the occupation #SaveGaza #FreePalestine. #auspol

Medics and paramedics are still being killed, injured, detained and tortured by Israeli forces.

More than 1,700 health workers killed.

Yet still, Australia has failed to place sanctions for Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Why aren’t we talking about what is a reasonable amount of profit….like for landlords, mining companies, real estate companies, gambling companies, childcare providers, labour hire companies, RSLs, etc, etc and etc. rich people always talking about the cost of welfare..

I went to @greenparty.org.uk conference - and unlike Labour, didn't get the boot.

But will the Greens succeed in convincing Labour voters - and what about the threat of Farage?

Remember when L Reynolds was advised to go into "hospital" by her cardiologist due to the stress the B Higgins story was causing her, it's funny how she now appears to be able to handle the enormous stress that comes with continuous litigations without alarming her cardiologist 🤔
