Just a gentle reminder, when you are voting remember none, not one of the recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care, have been implemented. Not one. 🧑🦳👨🦳
So current Fed government dismantling Medicare. Will have to pay full freight for MRIs. $800 a pop. Joint replacement surgeries no longer covered. Heart surgeries no longer covered.

Tonight we watched a master jouno interview the current defence minister. And she let him talk. Just a few thoughts. If China is such a threat to Australia why do we need to wait over 20 years for the submarines?

It’s terribly sad for me. Not for you guys eh?
So I’m confused 🤔. If the LNP have all the answers to what Australia needs, 🇦🇺, then why didn’t they implement all of it while in government? Why doesn’t the media ask them?

Hey media Robodebt is one of the greatest scandals in Federal government history. Why isn’t that interesting for you? But cancelling the Commonwealth Games is? WTF!
So I watched Insiders today because the guest is the Treasurer. And I spotted this.
Speers is actually a very lazy journo. He quotes Dutton and puts Dutton’s view the Treasurer. But doesn’t set out the basis for Dutton’s views. And shouldn’t he actually ask the Treasurer what he

There is no comparison between Albo and Spud. Albo is a decent man, genuine. Sure I don’t always agree with everything he wants to do. Subs deal, US airbases here.
But Spud is mean, vicious, has never displayed any compassion for anyone. He only cares about himself!
Despite some mistakes, I still think the Albanese Labor Govt is doing an excellent job repairing the damage wrought by 9yrs of Coalition Govt inaction, incompetence and self-serving corruption. I do see it as a contrast between good and evil.

This was / is the standard of journalism at the ABC. Before ALBO became PM. She got her facts wrong. Not surprisingly. She doesn’t even let him answer the questions. And she’s still employed.
One small question.
#LNP
were in government for over 9 years. Why the fuck didn’t they fix cost of living, power prices, housing or anything else for that matter while in government.
Because they don’t care about Oz.
I just don’t get this. Nearly a decade in government. Huge debts and nothing to show for it. Now in opposition and has an answer for everything. And the media lap their crap up.
Peter Dutton said today that around the world, businesses and manufacturing are moving to be closer to small modular nuclear reactors.
Where is this happening Mr Dutton?
Because no commercial small modular reactor exists.

It was illegal and they knew it. Morrison must be held accountable.
This decision must be reviewed and overturned. Who is responsible if Morrison isn’t.
I guess it’s correct to say now that Scott Morrison and his rancid government got away with the Robodebt scandal . They got away with a crime that killed vulnerable Australians .
The NACC is just a joke . Very sad

For me it’s simple. The LNP were shit in government and did nothing for us.
Now their in opposition they know nothing but are all over the media blaming Albo and providing their ill informed opinions.

This Senator has publicly written that "The Australian Government and eSafety Commisioner can go and get fucked".

Lunch time news on ABC a bit unusual. Tony Burke, Minister, Workplace Relations. Taking about pay rises from FWC. ABC cut him off and went to reporter in studio to provide analysis of what he said! Then flipped back to Minister. I’d prefer to hear what the Min says thanks.
So it’s an absolute catastrophe that Albo attended Karl’s wedding and the media are trying to beat him up on it but exactly where were or are the media on Robodebt and over 2 thousand deaths. Zip!
O’Brien, Cassidy and Dempster have left the ABC, the only credible journo left is Tingle. It’s just devastating to see Ferguson interview Scomo. If you could call it an interview. Besides asking him about morality and Robodebt, which he didn’t answer, she let him drone on! (1)

I had to watch this several times today because I couldn’t believe Spud said this. I can’t stand him or what he stands for. I was totally gob smacked he said she is not a corrupt person even though ICAC says she is.
Despite ICAC finding Gladys Berejiklian had engaged in corrupt conduct, Peter Dutton says she's 'not a corrupt person'. Dutton described her former partner Daryl Maguire as a 'bum' and a 'bad guy'. He said she had a 'bad relationship as everybody does'.

Fire the board and Ita. Get rid of Miller and Ibrahim. Get real journos to run the place like Barrie Cassidy, Kerrie O’Brien, Laura Tingle. People with real journalistic integrity.
The ABC has Morrison's grubby stamp all over it. It went into steep decline when he appointed Ita to its Chair. We expected far better. It is fast becoming a clone of other questionable news outlets. We need the ABC to return to the excellence it was once known to deliver.
Queenslanders continue to turn against Labor with new polling showing Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is preferred PM over Anthony Albanese in the Sunshine State. Mr Dutton is more popular with voters over 35 and in regional areas.

Sussan Ley left looking silly after claiming PM is focused on “concerts & social life” not on “cost of living”, is reminded about a cost of living Home Owner assistance plan “this week”

Perfect response from Marcia Langton to a question from SkyNewsAust.
Q: If The Voice is not successful, would you be interested in working with a future Coalition Govt on Peter Dutton's Voice
A: Not. In. The. Least.
It’s beyond my understanding that Gladys is being defended by people saying she was a hard worker. Really? ICAC found her to be corrupt.
She should be charged!
Several journos have misrepresented what occurred at the rally in Canberra.
It’s very sad the female journalists feel the need to play politics instead of supporting women!
What I find most frustrating when Dutton is interviewed by the media pack is they don’t challenge him. He just waffles on.
He isn’t asked to justify anything he says. How is that an unbiased media.
Holding power to account! They certainly do it to Labor!
