You would think one fucking Very Serious Commentator would’ve realised this by now, but seems no
It would be practically and legally impossible to hold a royal commission that goes anywhere near the actions or motivations of the accused killer, before his criminal proceedings are concluded, which could take years. That limitation would render the royal commission itself pointlessly premature.

There has been criticism of Peter Dutton's relationship with billionaires like Gina Rinehart and what that would mean for him standing against them if he was prime minister.
Like clockwork, there is a story from Coalition 'sources' that the relationship between Rinehart and Dutton has cooled

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad.
Which is also why you should share it.

Oh the hilarity!
While Trump loudly threatens Greenland/Denmark & the Panama Canal, Denmark’s Maersk calmly & quietly bought the Panama Canal Railway, giving the country significant control in the region.
That’s The Art of the Deal.

We need to talk about Andrew Tate
‘Adolescence’ raises questions about the online influence of figures like Andrew Tate, who weaponise misogyny and normalise violence.

It is so draining even if lovely to meet parents but most of the parents that you want to talk to do not attend.🤷♀️

Here's the things. You can't install Signal on federal devices. Ergo, this entire chat was being carried out on PRIVATE phones.
So not only does the APP not have the proper security, the DEVICES don't either.
