With shadow-ministerial perks and a substantial rise in pay over her erstwhile compatriots in the Nationals.

I presume the Nats will have the same position as the Greens or any independent. And the Greens have “spokespersons” who we see frequently so why would the Nats not have the same? Not a “shadow cabinet” position but spokesperson for their party.

All you need to remember about Abbott is he wanted to knight Prince Phillip!

Just watched David Attenborough’s “Oceans”. If you can watch this and not feel like cheering the producers, the star, the cameramen and all involved at the end, you have no soul.

This “flurries” stuff comes up periodically and is belted down as “unfounded” every time. Why, except for self -publicity, would anyone sign their name to such idiocy?

Who structured the deals with the gas companies? And are those deals preventing any attempts to restructure them?

Happened in De2024 and he has had “successful” removal surgery. And it’s “prostate” cancer not “prostrate” cancer. So not big news in any way.

The scandalous untruths in this post are extraordinary. There were no ballots “found under floorboards” or “under lampshades”. This is childish misinformation presented by seriously deluded Liberal apparatchiks for their own purposes.

Does the dissolution of the coalition mean that the Nationals will have the most seats in opposition and so become the official opposition?

You give the nations of the world too much credit.

It’s actually worse than a token gesture. It’s a deliberate insult to anyone opposed to Netanyahu.

Apparently the Nationals have announced they are quitting the coalition. Sounds like a mutual suicide pact.

If one is partisan for one’s own agenda that “should” be enacted ADAP, one’s patience seems to get a little short. Funny how they would all make a better PM than the one we have.

If only someone would invent and market a device for storing energy built up through the day and the releasing it when needed at night. That would seem to solve so many of the objections like “what happens at 6pm”.

I like Penny Wong and I recognise there are ways of doing things diplomatically. But it becomes more and more obvious every day that “requests” and other diplomatic efforts have no effect on Netanyahu and the Knesset at all. Can we not institute sanctions? Even as a gesture?

I’m becoming convinced that the largest single body of workers in the USA is “mobile masseurs”. I reckon I get, on average, 4 or 5 requests to follow from such people every day. And they all promise a “happy ending”.

“I heard” makes it official?

The high of arrogance is to post a message on social media and make it so no one can reply or quote your post. It is indicative of an ego that tolerates no dissenting voices and assumes its pronouncements are brilliantly correct. It is cowardly in the extreme.

Why does it seem that the only companies that cave in to the buffoon are American based? Are your billionaires so cowardly?

If the post as reported is what you actually wrote, it is hardly surprising that you were censured.

I have no problem with those who refused to vote, just with those who did and voted for the buffoon.

The buffoon and “credibility” have never met. How can a so-called journalist write a piece like this!

What is the hold that the Zionists have over Labor? What is the quid-pro-quo Labor get for continued refusal to condemn the Zionist state’s actions in Gaza?

If ever there was a situation which was guaranteed to descend into chaos it had to be the legalisation of cannabis. T needed to be carefully done with input by all affected parties. However it appears the social users are disrupting any controls.

When is a “ground operation” actually a bombing campaign from aircraft. Is this the IDF’s definition of “targeting” to avoid civilian casualties.

Use the amazing courage of the Tour de France when considering Lance Armstrong. They stripped him of all awards and he has effectively disappeared from anything to do with the Tour. Once the Supreme Court puts an end to Roberts-Smith’s appeals, he should be equally effectively obliterated.

If religious bodies want to run commercial businesses they should have to pay tax. Not just on their commercial enterprises but on all receipts they receive.

But isn’t lack of curiosity what ails us? Because they’re not curious, people accept pundits and commentators as accurate portrayers of the world. This leads to “group-think” and stagnation of ideas.

It’s so bloody predictable that losers in a competition want the rules changed so that, if applied in retrospect, they may have won or at least not lost so badly.

Why is any pastor called reverend? It implies a level of piety almost never attributable to them.
