The point is not whether it was a throw-away line. It’s that we are not throw-away people.

Peter Dutton was part of a govt that for 9 years, drove people on benefits into the ground, chasing some for a measly $10.50, and even, causing some to suicide
And now this vainglorious plaster-saint tells Australians he's had high-level legal advice, but we can't be told its value
Oh the stench

For decades, Australia has failed to collect enough income from our mineral and fossil fuel resources.
We’re still collecting more on HECS than from the PRRT, our super-profits tax on oil and gas. (Hint: it doesn’t work).
Successive governments have failed the next generations. This needs fixing.

Remember when 200 'pharmacists' heckled Parliament over 60 day scripts in Sept 2023.
What an absolute cracker of an article and puts the sword to the lie we knew was there from the very start.. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
Powerful lobby group claimed 665 pharmacies would close
The Pharmacy Guild claimed 60-day scripts would force pharmacies to shut and cause 20,000 job losses. Here’s what happened.

Why the definition of a "worthy Opposition Leader" has come to be lauded for being a "nay-sayer" to social harmony and progress, eludes me.To me, a good OL would be someone who checks the excesses of government, makes laws better and fairer. Co-operates.

On this HSC day, a big shout out to all the teachers at non-selective, non-glamorous state schools who put in loads of unpaid overtime & bust their arses to support their students & help them get the best results they can, even if they'll never top the state. You are appreciated.
