If you have Coalition MPs telling blatant lies, yet the host (an intelligent informed journalist) rptedly refuses to call them out or refute their lies, that's not "good television"; it's tabloid trash journalism platforming propaganda and it's insulting to viewers. 😠 #QandA #auspol #AusVotes25

Harry Dutton can't raise the deposit to get a bank loan to buy a home. His father is Peter Dutton, who has a $30M property portfolio. If Peter Dutton won't help his own son achieve home ownership, what hope is there for him helping ordinary Australians?! 🤔 #HousingCrisis #auspol #AusVotes25

I seriously think the current crop of Libs have serious personality disorders. I’ll go as far as to identify it: antisocial personality disorder. They’re sociopaths.
How out of touch do you have to be to roll out your 20-year-old son to complain that he hasn't been able to buy his first home....and you have a property portfolio worth tens of millions. #auspol #TemuTrump

Why does Peter Dutton refer to ‘so called’ Dr Jim Chalmers?
The treasurer completed his PhD at the Australian National University before entering politics.
It’s not like the honorary title gifted to Dutton's boss, Gina Rinehart, by Bond University. #auspol

One more thing-a huge chunk of my career since The Death of Holden has been reporting on manufacturing. These same people who killed the car industry now seem to think they can whip up a nuclear industry, including enrichment, tabula rasa, like it was opening a used car dealership? Get outta here.

A school bus belonging to IQRA Islamic College in Adelaide was set ablaze in an arson attack last w/e. Reported by Nine, Seven, NewsCorp & SBS. STILL nothing on the ABC News website. And no condemnation of the attack by the PM or OL Dutton. Both #antiSemitism AND #Islamophobia should be condemned. 😠

No nation state is above criticism. You can criticise Israel's actions and policies without it being anti-semitic. It does not make Jewish people safer by conflating criticism of Israel with anti-semitism.
