@PaulineHansonOz This is probably a fair criticism. But those in favour if the Voice would say that this is a positive thing because it makes an indigenous Voice a permanent body and leaves it up to the government of the day to regulate it.

[AlexGiurt @AlexGiurt]

@PaulineHansonOz The High Court’s job is to ensure that the Commonwealth doesn’t go beyond its existing powers, no matter how broad the Voice’s representations may be

[AlexGiurt @AlexGiurt]

@PaulineHansonOz There’s a lot to read in that source paper, but I’ve had a quick skim. The authors seem to be saying that there’s the potential for the Cwlth to infringe on State powers, but that Constitutional law dictates that the Fed Govt cannot make laws which go beyond its existing powers.

@VK4VIP @NRL @NRLonNine @NSWRL @QLDmaroons Maybe I’m wrong, but you can’t play for either the NSW or Queensland Origin team if you’re Māori. Māori players can’t take part in State of Origin.
Indigenous Australians on the other hand …

[AlexGiurt @AlexGiurt]

Genuine question … when was the last time the @NRL #StateofOrigin entertainment featured Australia’s own indigenous culture? … I love Māori culture as much as the next person, but how is it relevant to a strictly Australian sporting contest?

@AmyRemeikis @AmyRemeikis , you gave them a lot more truth than what @InsidersABC or any of the other panellists are used to

[AlexGiurt @AlexGiurt]

@AmyRemeikis speaking A LOT of truth on @InsidersABC this morning. More than @ByClare seems comfortable with.

This is the smoking gun.

This is the document that Angus Taylor signed before the election was called, to delay the announcement of impending electricity price rises until after the election.

@noplaceforsheep A religion which isn’t “tolerant” or “inclusive” wants everyone else to be “tolerant” and “inclusive”.

@vanbadham Agree, except for this … what if “breaking a promise” sees the Albanese government voted out and usher in a government that does even more to please fat cats at Newscorp and the last remaining Liberal voters? #auspol #Insiders

@mattjcan This is actually funny. I’m sure you didn’t intend it to be funny, but it actually is.

@meadea @mormorlady @MycatEdmund @ElaineM11584892 @newscomauHQ I have to say that I’m not convinced either @meadea

@mormorlady @meadea @newscomauHQ Amongst everything else we paid for

[Ronni🧂Salt-WhoWroteGunnawahYeahThatOne @RonniSalt]

In the dying days of the Morrison govt, some weeks after the election was called, Michaelia Cash authorised for almost all of Sen Jane Hume's legal expenses to be paid in the defamation complaint against her filed by @simonahac

That's your taxes paying for Jane Hume's problems.
