Price doing her best to help Labor actually win a bigger majority. She is one of Labor’s best assets www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Average male height across Europe. The Dutch truly rise above! 🇳🇱

Here’s Peter Dutton’s pick for Assistant Treasurer

not sure how stupid the libs are. just had 3 libs doorknocking me. I have an ALP sign in my front yard. they started their spiel & i said mate i'm an ALP member. He then started on about how he was a small businessman. Thought this convo on my front verandah would convince me to change my vote

speed limit = 100km/hr but there's no penalty. seat belts mandatory but no fine. They'll keep fuel efficiency standards but remove fines & penalties. Who's in charge of policy development with these bozos? Daffy Duck? Foghorn Leghorn? Wiley Coyote & ACME inc.? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Yet another day another one! Liberal for Wills (totally uncompetitive seat for them) was recently made to pay fines and compensation exceeding $10K after guilty plea to obtaining financial advantage by deception in 2019. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

It’s almost like trust is important for global stability.

Everyone is dumber for having listened to this debate moderation by Ross Greenwood. Even Angus Taylor, and that takes some doing.

Labor should just run on this.

Ingenious …

“I understand the struggles of renters. I talk to them regularly, when I raise their rents. They fear they will never enter the market, a fear I relate to as I fear that I wont be able to buy another property in the next month or so.” #auspol chaser.com.au/national/ame...

At the matildas

Peter Dutton says he has learned and now won't fire 41,000 workers or force people back to the office. We've seen this story before... #auspol #ausvotes

The Libs might try on one of those funny "campaign resets" if it gets too bad. "The party was letting him down, now Peter Dutton is taking control - meet:" The Real Peter Dutton 2.0 The Duttz Nutz etc etc It happens occasionally with desperation, and usually ends hilariously

The option of thinking about your policies before you announce them seems to rarely occur to Dutton. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Wow.

Peter Dutton says he’s dumped his WFH ban, but we all know it’s part of his plan. He’s stopped talking about his $600b nuclear scheme, but we all know it’s their only energy plan. And he won’t say how much he’ll cut until after the election. Don’t risk it.

www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12... This episode of background briefing was replayed on ABC RN. It exposes how many indigenous people were treated with disrespect, given slave names that echo thru generations. I saw examples when I taught in Wiluna WA on the edge of the Gibson Desert in 1975.

🤣

He’s virtually psychotic.

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

I stand with the penguins of Heard and McDonald Islands!

On this day in 1971, the first man to openly reveal the Mafia's existence left this mortal coil. Joe Valachi's 1963 Congressional testimony wrecked the FBI Director's career-long claims that the Mafia did not exist., calling J. Edgar Hoover "a dress-wearing moron who didn't have the legs for it."

You jest get back to fighting the ALP mate and let the gas companies can do the same theri way! #Auspol

Look on the bright side: this will be the least-woke depression in 100 years.

Amazing! greens attacking the LNP instead of Labor

Coalition responds to the PM falling off a stage in NSW. @theage

a scorsese production

Dutton refuses to rule out ABC cuts and repeatedly declines meeting with chair Kim Williams, sources say www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The list of tariffs Trump is imposing includes the uninhabitable Heard and McDonald islands, where penguins and beetles have been hit with a 10% "reciprocal" tariff for their non-existent exports to the US. Stop helping insane people manufacture consent by using their language
