Shame on Murray Watt. Shame on the ALP.
They know Woodside’s North West Shelf will destroy some of the oldest in human history.
Dare I say, shame on anyone who voted for the ALP? Voting for the ALP only emboldens them to continue to make such disgraceful decisions.

This tonight on 4Corners is important viewing - it is my view that the Plymouth Brethren should be investigated for their oppressive practices to members and those who leave the church, and for whether it’s appropriate they are tax exempt and have charity status

Have you ever seen a member of a govt so willing to cede power to another country as Marles is?

It is quite breathtaking to swear an oath to serve and protect a country and then let it be dictated to by a career criminal and world class moron.
