Mother to two Papillon pups and one geriatric Tonkinese cat. And a couple of humans. Keenly follows #auspol and US politics, which explains my current mental malaise. Dumbfounded by how truly horrid people can be for no reason. Just stop it!!

Could someone from the ALP say, quite forcefully, that any government that did not request modelling on negative gearing and various other tax options would be bone headed and derelict. Why is this so hard?

Remember that the journalists following both leaders are desperate for a contest, so they are going to go all out today trying to make out that things that are not real could be real. Do yourself a favour, let @amyremeikis.bsky.social guide you through live.australiainstitute.org.au

If this tortuous election campaign has shown us anything it’s that lies in political ads, and ideally lies coming out of politicians mouths in real time, must be banned. It’s 💯% false advertising.

Attention: Musk’s staffers are now seeking access to a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants. DOGE was never about saving the U.S. money—it’s about building a government-run machine to weaponize personal data.

Dutton: “I don’t know because I’m not a scientist. Scientists can provide advice.” No, Peter, scientists provide EVIDENCE. Tested and retested. You don’t have to be a scientist to trust science any more than you need to be a brain surgeon to trust a competent brain surgeon. Still in denial.

The CFMEU has nothing to do with housing - they work on commercial building sites. But Dutton just has to mention it every time #leadersdebate

I don’t why anyone is pretending it’s ‘news’ that Amelia Hamer is a beneficiary of a trust fund. Surely her surname was a clue that she’s not your average knock-about aspirational candidate, scraping together $ for flyers to hand out at train stations 🤦‍♀️ #auspol

Why does the MSM continue to let Dutton lie about Australia having the highest number of public servants in the world? It's bullshit and needs to be called out.

We all await the next world conflict tomorrow for Dutton to announce he doesn’t know either leader but he’ll get the best outcome and #KeepAustraliaSafe 🤯 #AusPol

Dutton is all about negativity. Doesn’t have a vibrant, positive, innovative idea and cogent thought for policy direction to stimulate anything. Only generationally long excessively expensive nuclear power no community wants, war, war footing, “keep Australia safe,” (how old is this chestnut).

Joe Hockey played one round of golf with Trump, and Dutton makes it sound like they had a regular Saturday foresome. Trump wouldn't even know who the F*ck he was.

So glad they are doing split screen in this debate. On the left is the PM, calm, expressionless, while Dutton is vibrating with desperation. #auspol

Dutton: "People have seen food prices go up by 30%." That's a lie (they went up by 12%) #leadersdebate

A Senate inquiry on #AUKUS would allow strategists, economists, shipbuilders, industry and everyday Australians (including ALP members) to formally have their say on the program. @albomp.bsky.social doesn’t want that. He’s happy we only hear from Defence bureaucrats at Estimates. #auspol

This Aust Govt travel advisory for the US needs to be updated. Given there is now a non-zero chance you could end up in a gulag somewhere, “exercise normal safety precautions” doesn’t cut it. www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations...

Yesterday, Dutton broke the land-speed record to get in front of cameras to hyperventilate about a non-situation, now we have to spend days discussing what the government should have done to brief Dutton better about a nothing that Dutton wrongly chose to make into something 🤯 #auspol

Asked what policies he had for women, Dutton offered a fuel discount for “women driving to work or driving kids around.” What about safety, Peter? Early education? Workforce participation? Seriously — vote independent. Independence works for women.

In Dec, I helped secure $2M for Middle Head Oval upgrades. Now the Liberals are promising funding for a project that’s already funded and underway. Today’s announcement shows how out of touch they are with our community and the work already being delivered. #auspol

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
