He waited a couple of minutes before says "Nah, bugger it" and tazing a 95 year old woman with dementia killing her ... Unbelievable. At one point he was whinging about no longer being a cop ...

I suppose they don't have to work out any new policy positions since the ones they took to the election worked so well and they all agree on them...

Yeah but if we made them pay tax all that incredible talent might leave and go to another country and provide incompetent telecommunications and bad service there ...

It just gets better and better for #optus Outages, triple zero, poor service, a senior exec who was found guilty of serious corruption while premier of NSW. Now it turns out they pay no tax...

President Trump slurred his words and was largely incoherent when addressing US generals. Here's why that's a problem for Joe Biden.

The #ABC is pathetic these days. I'm starting to think that #AlboPM believes that having them simpering to the #LNP is an asset.
