And Ita's parting words to Australia after all of that are:

"Jesus Christ!"

because the mic under her nose is still on, despite Ita reminding the court many times today how experienced she is in the media and how many decades she has worked in it.

Dutton is now just taking the piss when it comes to policy

His resurrection of the '80s long business lunch will cost at least $10 billion even on cautious estimates.

No wonder he didn't release costings.

Dutton's business lunch idea takes the piss out of the entire notion of worthwhile public policy
Peter Dutton's proposal to bring back the long, taxpayer-subsidised business lunch is his dumbest idea yet.

As a small biz owner myself, doing it tough, lunches are not a core (or any) current cost, so this provides zero relief.

Tax deductible lunches is just another LNP bullshit 'announcement' of a future possible bullshit policy, all smoke and not even any mirrors, 100% bullshit hot air. #Auspol
LNP mocked/denied free lunch program for children, then Dutton announced yday tax deductible lunch's for small biz
Why?

Children who need free lunches don't vote.
Adult's who don't need deductible lunches but may like them do vote.
LNP fucknuckles only care about power, not people in need.

Well, if supporting the genocidal war criminals of Israeli wasn’t enough…

Or the $368 Billion waste on #AUKUS wasn’t enough…

Or if the continued $Trillion theft of our mineral resources wasn’t enough…

Then this embarrassment should be enough for the duopoly to lose every single vote.

After 18 months of operation and a cost of $140 million to Australians, the staggeringly incompetent NACC has concluded its top 3 major corruption investigations, and guess what?

It has found no corruption.

The #NACC is a failure and a national embarrassment.

kangaroocourtofaustralia.com/2025/01/12/p... National Anti-Corruption Commission should have ended Peter Dutton’s career in politics given the massive fraud that happened on his watch especially when he was Home Affairs Minister. But NACC failed its duty so voters should step up and vote him out.

All the overt corruption going without punishment isn't the greatest look for the new NACC. In fact, it's totally suss.

Just because the pro-Israel pro-genocide lobby and pro-Israel pro-genocide supporters keep screaming that we are witnessing a rise in "anti-Semitic" incidents in Australia, does not make that fact.

These groups are renowned liars. #auspol #StopIsrael #EndTheGenocide
