Imagine being a person that got his rent cut from $900pw to $680pw during Covid, has not had it increased in the 4 years hence, gets 90 days notice that the owner is selling, and then goes bleating to the Daily Telegraph about the injustice of it all.
My wife is finishing up at the ABC on Friday after 34 years. Respected by everyone, she’s carrying untold knowledge away that they weren’t able to find an appropriate position for. Younger, less capable, people preferred.
9 months out from an Aus election, I’ve lost my patience with the ‘fuck Labor they haven’t implemented my cause 100% in 2 years of their first term’ crowd. How dare you? How fucking dare you? How dare you put the prospect of a Dutton govt on the map? How fucking dare you?
So essentially we are saying that a lightweight TV presenter is allowed to buy a $4M home, but the most senior person in the country is not, and then said TV presenter gets to denounce him for his purchase. Spare me.

Are people really not able to understand that Labor took an inflation rate on the rise, but already at 6%, that rose to 8%, down to something in the low 3 per cents? Are people really that fucking stupid?
Yes, the lesson for Labor, yet again, is that if you even look like trying to do anything positive in Australia the MSM will attempt to tear you to pieces in a gotcha feeding frenzy. We are so poorly served.
Anyone remember the LNP government? A scandal every day. Stuart Robert, Taylor’s water, McKenzies spreadsheets etc etc. and now Albanese WITH HIS PARTNER buys a house with their own coin, and it’s somehow the end of times. FFS!
So have I got this right? A decent individual leading a hard working competent govt buys a house and because of that many of you would like to see a racist thug and his band of misogynist incompetents lead the country back into the days of picket fences. I can’t even…
I’ve fought hard. For a long time. For a fairer society. I’m getting old. I’m nearly ready to give it up. Let those that vote against themselves bear the burden. But then I think of those 2 small faces on Xmas Island. I can’t give up till they are free.

Panic is setting in amongst the money grubbing No campaigners. Imagine Price and Mundine if they lose? They’ll never get preselected again. Dutton won’t be leader by Xmas. The Farnham intervention, planned 9 months ago has them riled. They are rattled. Well done Yes campaign.
There are gatherings in Berlin and New York in support of the Voice. I know this because people that are there, including my son have told me. This is a worldwide movement with the focus on us.
Any of you guys wanna listen to something quite important. I grew up in the sun. Tiny little spots can be dangerous. I wondered about one tiny little spot. Glad I did.
This is Australia's defining moment. Years from now, how will we look back at the decisions we made during this crisis?
Did we have the imagination to build a better and fairer Australia?
Or will we regret the missed opportunities?
It’s for us to decide.

Here is a reply to a tweet from Ali France from a business called Pronto Locksmiths in SE QLD. I would be extremely disappointed if any of my followers used that business. I would be delighted to see this reposted far and wide.

Interesting to hear Andrews talking about a ‘national response’ and Palaszczuk calling for a National Cabinet meeting. Almost like they’re trying to fill some sort of leadership vacuum 🤔

Harman said that at one stage an AFP agent based in Parliament House had given her “a summary of what she had viewed within that footage, but it was said to me that … it wouldn’t be viewed again, or able to be viewed, until after an election”.
Can Australian media, who never report stuff like Dutton being in India, or payments made into offset accounts of affiliates, just fucking stop reporting on a bruised young woman who is attempting to resurrect her life away from you despicable cunts?

said a few hours ago that Morrison’s ‘NSW is the Gold Standard’ statement will haunt him, more so than ‘I don’t hold a hose’. I’m a bit thick, so it’s taken me a few hours, but I’m now certain she is correct.

Dutton claimed today that 105,000 asylum seekers have entered the country since Labor won power, when in fact there are 105,000 asylum seekers IN Australia, 95,000 of which entered while he was in charge of the portfolio. Wonder if

I can’t imagine the pain one must go through to endure 14 days locked up in the Lodge with your personal photographer. The sacrifices made to sign an ‘in principle’ thingy with a Japanese PM who didn’t know you were coming.

Does anyone think it’s reasonable to expect a Prime Minister to hang around for 10 minutes whilst a rally organiser (who has just compared herself to Brittany Higgins) decides whether he’s allowed to speak or not?
Morrison will win the General Election on August 2021. Because Costello 9, Stokes 7, and the ABC’s Gavin Morris will support him. Shame on you Australia.
Is any journalist going to ask Sussan Ley or Peter Dutton or Simon Spineless Birmingham if they will apologise to the Australian people for lying about the law and the constitution?
I repeat. We have a government that has had zero scandals, therefore the media feel obliged to invent them. (Remember the last government, a scandal with each new day. We lost track of them cos the new one each day took over).
I have a son in Germany. He says pretty much anyone that wants a vaccine has had it. Everything is open, with some restrictions. I have a friend whose son is in the US, walked into a supermarket (!!) and got his 2nd Pfizer no Qs asked. But here? Geez we are backward.

For anyone that still thinks Crabb wrote a serious article, she said this …

Gee, if all those that I have seen in here today saying ‘I’ll never vote Labor again’ had voted Labor in 2019, Bill Shorten would have won in a landslide, and we’d have serious neg gearing, CGT, and excess franking credit refunds reforms.
If Senator Payman was my daughter (I’m 62) and IF she asked my advice I would have said ‘on this one, vote what you feel in the Senate. But do not go on Insiders to gloat about it’.
There are several reasons that I can understand people being disappointed with the ALP government. To you I say, they had the fucking guts to bring on a referendum to permanently improve conditions for indigenous Australians, which was of no political gain to themselves.
I’ve observed Australian politics and media for 50 years. The dynamics changed when Rudd was elected. It became ‘get Labor’. Nothing has changed since then.
I’m struggling to see what has changed in the last 2 years to convert the Murdoch press, Gina Rhinehsrt, and consequentially the Liberal Party, to be so gung ho about nuclear, when it was not on their radar prior to May 2022?
Ya have to wonder, when all of the Liberal’s arguments against The Voice have been clinically dismantled, and they still oppose, what are their real reasons?
Dutton says he’s going to release his nuclear plan, including where to put SMRs. Is any journalist going to point out that SMRs are purely conceptual, and that they don’t actually exist (and that the most recent attempt was canned in the US as being economically unviable).
I see the LNP running around saying those that own 5 houses will get 5x$300 rebates. They must know that the rebates go to whomever pays the electricity bills. I can only conclude that LNP landlords pay the power bills for their tenants. That’s fantastic!
It seems the Treasurer prefers to make decisions based on data, modelling, and analysis. The press seems to prefer Angus’s approach, which is based on the vibes.
With complicit former Ministers now powerless or gone altogether, I feel it's more important to know which JOURNALISTS knew what and when about this attack on democracy by their hero Morrison. The public needs to know which are willing to cover up such crap
#ThisisNotJournalism
Hung parliaments are not generally a good thing. It’s difficult to get anything done (and yes I know Gillard did, but she had rare decent people Oakeshott and Windsor in the picture). The LNP need to be crushed, so that they ditch Dutton and he’s out of our lives forever.
How come we all knew the facts about that rally and the circumstances leading up to and the videos to show what went on but the ABC did not?
@annabelcrabb
did not? She preferred to write a character assassination of Gallagher based on her desire to get a cheap line into a story.
Dutton says the government should arrest protestors. Up till now, only the police had the power to arrest. Dutton wants the power to arrest those that don’t agree with him. I’ve seen this movie before.
Ok, I’m gonna get rounded by everyone. But, Albanese and Wong have said they want a ceasefire. What do you want them to do? What impact do you think they can have, outside diplomatic channels. It’s horrible, and they don’t have the power to fix it ffs.
Sussan says it is a huge swing. You’ve never seen a swing this huge. This is the highest swing anyone has ever seen. No one will ever see a swing this huge. HUGE, I tells ya.
#DunkleyByelection
I would have thought that a politician wanting to be PM, that makes a claim such as ‘the vast majority of people in Collie support …’, when asked about that claim, would be able to do better than ask the journalist ‘how do you know they don’t?’
Peter Dutton questioned how he can claim the “the vast majority of the public in Collie” support Nuclear after he avoided the public during his visit. Peter Dutton accuses ABC journalist of being an “advocate” & attacks the ABC. Great fight back by journo, Dutton smashed💥
Memo to journalists: Just because the opposition waste
#qt
by repeating the same useless question over and over all week, it doesn’t make that question important or newsworthy.
Coincidence that the political MSM is universally totally focused on negative gearing, which was not raised by anyone bar themselves, in the same week that Dutton humiliated himself at CEDA and inflation came in at less than half the number it was when the LNP left office.
I am so so very tired of people that just CHOOSE to ignore the work that Tony Burke has done, Chris Bowen is doing, and every other bum up heads down Labor Minister is doing on the Labor agenda, just so they can so ignorantly critisize. Says much more about your ignorance.
Our MSM at work. These jets were ordered by the Morrison government in 2021.
Don’t see journalists rushing out to discredit this story or the ‘journalist’ that wrote it. Seems their fury only flows one way.
According to Dutts, Albanese is ‘bizarrely’ focussing on missing National Cabinet documents rather than the cost of living. This, at the same time that Dutts and his front bench are throwing tanties over when some councils are holding citizenship ceremonies.
Albanese breaks a promise made (that he had intended to keep) due to economic conditions. Dutton and Ley come out each day and sprout clearly provably lies, not even grey areas, and yet Albanese is the liar. The media is totally unfit for purpose and a stain on the country.
Getting a wee bit tired of ALP Ministers constantly being badgered by ‘journalists’ demanding they rule out whatever the latest thing is that the Liberals are lying about them considering.
Apart from being intensely dull, ruling out ever doing anything is shite for the country.
So the only male killed in the catastrophe at Bondi yesterday was a security guard attempting to protect people. A young man that paid with his life attempting to protect others. Another hero.
There is one party trying to govern in this country. Every other party is trying their best to prevent them from doing that. The Greens, the Liberals, the Nationals, all want to sabotage good government wherever they can. Do they deserve your support?
Got approached by guy handing out Lib flyers for council elections this am. I said ‘Congratulations!’ He said ‘What for?’ I said ‘Getting your nomination in’. Didn’t wait for any reply.

for the first time in ages to see if they have a story on Dutton and Ley convicting an innocent man before he is even brought before the courts. 🤔
I can’t even complain about the ABC in my household. My wife, who worked there for 30 years is so embarrassed by them she tells me I don’t want to hear about it.
I’m still trying to understand why Penny Wong is the only person on earth that can stop the horrors in Gaza, and why Albanese is the only person on earth that should be on trial for genocide.
