I find it interesting that the media in QLD have swapped out their “youth crime” mantra to the generic reporting of “home invasions”, “robberies” & “assaults” “Youth crime” has mysteriously disappeared off the media radar since the QLD election. It’s either a fkn miracle or it was a fkn lie.

Dear ABC management. News Corp and the IPA want the ABC defunded. Inviting them as guest commentators is not diversity. It is more like introducing cane toads and rabbits.

Kinda brings a whole new dimension to “illegal settlers”.

Sad news. Wonder World was great for kids, it educated and entertained in equal doses, and Simon always treated the audience without condescension. He’s also much respected for his courage as a Vietnam War conscientious objector, which saw him imprisoned. A good man. RIP Simon.

Gas industry lobbyists saying they need to frack/drill so Australians have more gas are lying. 80% of Australia’s gas is exported. If they drill more gas, it just means they can export more gas. The only way to stop gas shortages & keep prices down is to curtail exports #auspol

Albo and federal Labor need to take the Dan Andrews approach to the NewsCorpse gang. Just ignore the bastards. Deep freeze them. The Herald Sun did its vicious worst, but Andrews still won three elections.

Albanese publicly condemned the arson attack in MEL and has committed all resources required by Fed police to hold arsonists accountable…then played tennis in his free time It’s not like he snuck away on a Hawaiian holiday while the entire nation suffered the worst bushfires in a generation, FFS

So we already have a well paid & resourced Special Envoy to combat anti-semitism and now a special AFP Task Force … for an incident depicted as “terrorism” before any investigation reports evidence. OTT in my opinion.

‘On several occasions I was on the verge of announcing the costings of the The Coalition’s nuclear energy policy, but each time Labor distracted us, and Angus and I had to start counting in our heads all over again. As far as I’m concerned that is the end of the matter. Good day’
