Ted O’Brien is so like Scott Morrison it’s unnerving - both smug and glib, both liars and gaslighters, both personally repugnant.👎🏼👎🏼

Brava Sarah Ferguson for probing questions #nuclear

@janey1709 @BelindaJones68 Disgraceful bullying behaviour from Ted O’Brien. It was appalling to watch.

@SamT57498755 Disgraceful bullying behaviour.

@JoeDoesNews Your smiling face and cheeky laugh are missed @JoeDoesNews

@ribenacordial_ @YouAreLobbyLud And his announcement was more nuanced than that. People hear what they want to hear. 🙄

Journalism has surely hit a new low. This is disgraceful.

A reminder that there are still people on Nauru who’ve been there for 10 years.

Away from their families.

It’s inconceivable that Australia could treat anyone in this way.

This is Kaium who has asked for his photo to be shared.

We must get everyone off Nauru immediately.

@writtenbysime Oh the joy!

Huge! Tomorrow in Parliament the @Greens will table the Migration Amendment (Evacuation to Safety) Bill which would compel the Australian Gov to transfer to Australia all persons seeking asylum remaining offshore in PNG/Nauru. @ASRC1 calls on ALP/LNP & Independents to support it

@ruskin147 Loveliest thing I’ve seen of darling #sophiefromromania ❤️

[Dan Andrews @DanielAndrewsMP]

Through a pandemic, a terrorist attack and an eruption, Jacinda led with a kindness which came to define her Prime Ministership.

A real leader, with so much to be proud of.

[Sam Neill @TwoPaddocks]

#PrimeMinister @jacindaardern resigned today. I am not surprised nor do I blame her. Her treatment, the pile on, in the last few months has been disgraceful and embarrassing. All the bullies, the misogynists, the aggrieved. She deserved so much better. A great leader. Thanks PM!

[Kon Karapanagiotidis @Kon__K]

Thank you to Jacinda #Ardern for reminding Australians during the dark Morrison years that a PM could be principled, decent, unifying and led with values and compassion for all. You will be missed.

[Kon Karapanagiotidis @Kon__K]

Thank you to @DanielAndrewsMP for refusing a state funeral for George Pell. Thank you for standing with survivors of sexual abuse and not those who helped enable their abuse. That is called leadership and values for anyone having a go at him today.

[Barbara A @BarbaraPoppy]

@murpharoo It was exceptionally moving and emotional.

My favourite ABC commentator taking on an important and significant role in covering the Voice to Parliament. Congratulations @Dan_Bourchier. Look forward to seeing more of you on @ABCthedrum too

[Dan Bourchier @Dan_Bourchier]

Some news from me!

Tonight I read my last ABC Canberra 7pm News bulletin for the year and for a while.

I’m really excited to announce I’ll be moving into a new role within the ABC next year, leading our coverage of the Referendum and the Voice to Parliament.

@ribenacordial_ Good sense prevails at last … now to make it more widely known than a tweet.

If only all refugees were given the rights and the dignity of the inspiring @AzimiMoz and @BehrouzBoochani.

@karenandrewsmp is an appallingly heartless person. Thank goodness she is no longer in that portfolio.

@Kon__K We’re all looking forward to buying a copy!
