I think we're at the crux of Whybrow's questioning - it appears that he's still annoyed at the speech Higgins gave at the end of the criminal trial. Because it reflected badly on him. If so, then how petty is the man. #BrittanyHiggins

@vanOnselenP Victorian Police interviewed both the victim and Shorten. They investigated the allegations properly. NSW police did not speak to Porter or the victim. They read a letter and looked over a dossier. They did not investigate the allegations fully. There is a difference.

This might well backfire, because, under the subpoena, those who got the tape will be cross-examined and will have to say where they got the tape from, or face contempt charges. They will also have to produce the original tape itself. #BruceLehrmann

Remember that time when Morrison had a presser and read out the names of those who died in the bushfires in 2019-2020 and began to cry halfway through from sheer emotion? Nope. Neither do I. His 'grief' is very selective and highly calculated. #Auspol

Those who want people to work until they’re 70-75 have never worked a normal, ordinary job. You cannot work a production line, or a hard job for that long. It’s easy to sit there and call for later retirement ages, but all it shows is you have zero real world experience. #TheDrum

So, the SkyNews tape is useless. Who'd have thunk it, eh? Nothing is verifiable, it's almost impossible to make out any words, can't be properly transcribed, and, in effect, it's all bullshit. That should be today's news, but I'm sure Sky will double down. #BruceLehrmann

When Morrison tells you that he can't control the price of petrol, remember this - he can. Fuel excise tax alone is worth 44.2 cents per litre, plus GST....etc. Morrison can drop the price of petrol today if he wanted to, but he's so out of touch he can't be bothered. #Auspol
