The media is making a big deal about "20 world leaders have met Trump, but Albanese hasn't." So what? None of those world leaders got any satisfaction out of their meetings, and had to sit there listening to the ravings of a lunatic. Meeting with Trump is just a waste of time.

Scott Morrison's King's Birthday Honour DISHONOURS the King's Birthday Honours selection process.
Who made the RIDICULOUS decision to grant an award to this incompetent, lying WORST EVER PM?!
Did Morrison secretly appoint himself to the King's Birthday Honours and Awards Secretariat too?

If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

For all those banjo twangers whining about the costs of regulated power increases in QLD..
..they might want to do a bit more whining about the QLD LNP cutting their power bill rebates as well.
QLD LNP take away rebates from ordinary QLDers to give massive “rebates” to their donors.

It’s a pity the Courier Fail didn’t print the truth about the corruption of the QLD LNP before the election last year.
Now we are stuck with corruption on steroids, jobs for mates, cuts to health, education, housing & the canning of renewable projects..
..not to mention LNP donor deals.

A vast amount of evidence shows that their nuclear policy cost the Coalition critical votes across Australia, and may have ultimately cost the Coalition around 11 seats

Nuclear power may have cost the Coalition 11 seats in the federal election
Liberal and National MPs insist their nuclear power plan didn’t cost them votes in the federal election. But evidence suggests it may have cost them 11 seats.

I'm guessing the next step is for Queensland's LNP to break up, with some MPs sitting as Nationals and others as Liberals. After twelve years of trying to wipe out Labor, the coalition have wiped themselves off the political map.
