Same, but I still think back on the Morrison years and I thought Labor was weak then too, much like the Dems in America. I never liked Albanese, always thought he was weak and puerile.
I have never seen such a weak kneed Labor caucus.

I simply cannot watch the smug and condescending Pat, and neither David Speers. 1st and 2nd Liberal publicists.
So sad to see these ABC no-hopers when they have the excellent Laura Tingle and John Lyons.

#Karvelas says #Angus has not been given enough credit seizing the leadership. Says “ #PaulineHanson is acting like the real opposition.” BL head toss & hair flicks, annoyed. Chin raises superiority, arrogance, chin jut defiance, looking down one’s nose challenging colleagues.

This then helps see renters save and buy a first home. Instead it's failed. The wealthy buy many homes, they drive the rents up locking people in as life long renters. The Taxpayer helps pay the investors mortgage/s via NG.

News Corp should cover. It happened while he was chasing the shots for them. And damaged gear also means lost work. I get why people find it amusing, but there’s broader issues here (I don’t know this photographer, but I know insecure work)

It might just be purely coincidental, but I'm noticing there seems to be some sort of link between white males wearing NSW Police uniforms & innocent people (many of them elderly) getting assaulted. Perhaps our Minister for Unity & Social Cohesion could investigate/introduce some bans? 🤔
