Would you vote for a mostly good, imperfect Albanese Labor Govt or the unhinged zombie horror of a Dutton PMship? It disturbs me that there are Australians who would vote for the return of the incompetent, corrupt, openly self-serving chaos that is the Coalition. #auspol
@lesstenny Miles- a leader. One thing to remember about Crisafulli; he worked with Campbell Newman only 10 years ago. Together they destroyed TAFE. Sacked 14,000 public servants. People wonder why there is a skills shortage. Crisafulli is looking for $2B in cost cutting- the public service
Talks like an old Qld cop Looks like an old Qld cop Acts like an old Qld cop Narrow-minded like an old Qld cop No vision, just fear, uncertainty, doubt and negativity #insiders
Now is the time for an independent inquiry into the Media in Australia, all of it. The whole system has run off the rails and needs to be brought back to some level of sanity.
Does Dutton stir up hatred in Australia? His comments comparing our mass shooting in Port Arthur to a protest in Sydney is delusional. He’s constantly trying to divide the nation and he feeds the rabid RWNJ who continue his hate on SM. I fear for Aust if he’s ever elected
The US is the most backward country on the planet. No longer leaders of the free world, they lead only in amount of citizens jailed, deaths by gun violence, and the most archaic anti-abortion laws in the world. I feel sorry for the women of the US.
🚨PENNY WONG FIRES AT PETER DUTTON! Peter Wong spoke about Labors new deportation bill and said "What the Prime Minister and the government were hoping was that Peter Dutton might act like an adult and look to the national interest rather than political interest." "What this week…
@AmeliaBee7 @TheBigShip Murdoch gave up his Australian citizenship in 1985 - so why are we letting a foreign far-right extremist destroy our precious democracy?
I am seriously considering leaving Twitter or X. There are too many conservatives talking rubbish.

The Liberals shouldn’t have cancelled the French subs.
@BenFordhamLive What works in Ontario CANADA doesn't work in Australia. Different environmental conditions, different capabilities. If you have cloud cover and snow for half a year, nuclear is the logical choice. If you have abundant solar and wind, that's the logical choice. "Journalism".
So David Speers will be out of a job soon?
When ever I see a picture of this idiot, I realise just how hopelessly lost we are as a nation. That this man was ever PM, that he is still being paid several hundred thousand dollars per year to swan around and make us look stupid. Can't we do better? #StopVotingForDickHeads
The LNP are following Dutton’s lead but I believe that Michael Springer’s view 👇 is a more accurate reflection of the thoughts of Australian voters than Barnaby Joyce’s inane ravings.
There is absolutely no place in #politics for #religion or religious people in any shape or form. Our aim for our #Parliaments must be to elect people of decency honesty commonsense who strive for justice & equality of opportunity without exhibiting holiness or righteousness.
Falcon versus Commodore was great but US Ford V. US GM doesn't do much for me. Is anyone else sick of the Supercars?

Australia is a multi-cultural, multi-faith nation and we do not discriminate against LGBTIQ+ people. Ergo, this Bishop's preaching is incompatible with Australian values. HE'S the one who should be on a watch list.
I was raped at high school and never believed because I froze from fear and did not fight. Justice Lee’s judgement today that included comments about trauma informed consent meant so much to me. I’m a bit of a wreck tonight but grateful for this acknowledgment

The Australian @australian has put out third piece of fake news on #InlandRail saying it is white elephant finishing at North Star. When they phoned I outlined project I lead to build railway from North Star to Port of #Gladstone but my good news didnt suit their quest for bad.

What is childish is way #LNP blame #AlboMP every time our Border Force fails to sight a #refugee boat. Are they saying that he phones Commander to ask him to be lax? Actually, LNP is in desperation mode as they know they will lose more seats to #Independents at Election 2025.
I remain amazed at the stupidity of LNP’s Senator Patterson in mouthing again the old nonsense that the Government has lost control of our borders when one of a group that landed on the WA coast has just been found.
At the next federal election Dutton will be telling people not to risk a minority Labor government needing Greens support. Whenever the Liberals have been in power since 1949 it has been as a minority government needing the Nationals support.

Stephanie Dowrick has summed up Peter Dutton using far fewer words than opinion writers require to laud him in MSM. I can use even fewer words. Dutton is dour, visionless, mean-spirited, deceitful, oppositional, callous & arrogant - traits Australians don’t require in a PM.

Fact that #AndrewBolt is so upset about #SamanthaMostyn becoming #GovernorGeneral proves conclusively @AlboMP made superb choice. If Bolt had approved her we would have had to ask Albo to pull plug on her appointment. So it is with great confidence that I wish Samantha well.
