Defence Secretary Greg Moriarty fails to answer after David Shoebridge demands he justify the huge salaries for senior officials
Shoebridge “What’s the death stare about? Can you just answer the question?”
But it’s too much for useless Moriarty who palms it off to his Deputy🙄 #Estimates

It's always worth reiterating that Lattouf was a casual employee, contracted to do one week's work. That's it. That's all. And the Zionist lobby still has to see her fired.
And this is what it's cost
And by cost I mean us (the Australian taxpayer) I might add

One of the most egregious arguments is that the stadium will fulfil the dreams and aspirations of young Tasmanians and keep them in the state. Tasmania has a 50% illiteracy rate. 50% in 2025. How about ensuring young Tasmanians leave school literate & numerate. That will fulfil more dreams. #politas
It's been brutal, and politicians together with certain media outlets have spurred it on. The TPC report should have been the end of it, but to put it ironically, the government couldn't "accept the umpire's decision." Whatever is decided, it will continue to divide Tasmanians for decades. #politas

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Why our government protects gambling apps but bans TikTok
Australia’s social media restrictions on children were sold as decisive action on harm. But the policy risks becoming symbolic, unenforceable, and ultimately counterproductive.
