Rinehart was 30 years old and working with her father when he made the comments about “doping their water”…she was no child.

We DON’T care if there’s fury coming from the opposition re the Budget! Really ABC?? There’s a reason we voted them OUT!🤷‍♀️

[David Marler @Qldaah]

Jim Chalmers responds to fiscal advice from Angus Taylor. "I won't be taking lectures on the budget from the dregs of a former government." #auspol

#GoWokeGoBroke is trending in Australia because a netball team asked sponsor & mining magnate Gina Rinehart to address her father's advocacy for genociding Aborigional Aussies

Instead condemning racism, Gina chose to withdraw $15M in funding

Actions speak louder than words…

Michael Rowland says he can’t understand the reaction of social media to opposition ministers being interviewed on the ABC. I’ll tell you why, because they are never asked about the shocking damage they did to this country, never asked about rorts which may see some at ICAC.

[Mike Carlton @MikeCarlton01]

Two points, my friends:

1). It’s not “the Brittany Higgins trial.” She is a witness. The defendant is Bruce Lehrmann.

2). Don’t offer opinions about the trial here. You could be incontempt of court, which would be very unpleasant.

Mark Dreyfus brings a dignity and professionalism to the role of attorney general which was sadly lacking in his predecessor. Even David Speers gave up on gotchas.

Peter Hartcher:

The govt this week put before parliament 4 of its election commitments – cutting the price of medicines under PBS, repealed the cashless debit card, cut the cost of childcare for 96% of families & creating a NACC.

At the same time, it managed the Optus crisis.

Peter Hartcher:

The secret to the Albaneses government’s success?

Albanese delegates to his ministers and trusts them to do their jobs. Scott Morrison was an obsessive centraliser and micromanager. Albanese operates as the chairman of the board rather than chief executive.

[Solo Monk @JJKALE2]

Clare O’Neil had planned to go to the AFL grand final. She cancelled, issuing a generic good luck tweet, as she worked on the Optus problem.

Dutton complained that “O’Neil has basically been missing in action on this issue,” & “found time to tweet about football”

@strangerous10 Does anyone listen to Alan these days apart from Alan?

[Peter Murphy @PeterWMurphy1]

Dear @abcnews, As the former Govt's Communications Minister, Paul Fletcher minimised Optus' security testing requirements in 2020.

Note: Fletcher was Optus' Director of Corporate & Regulatory Affairs from 2000-2008. Thoughts? 🤔 😠 #Optus #databreach #auspol

[Hugh Riminton @hughriminton]

Seven months ago #Optus was lobbying Parliament AGAINST tougher cyber security laws, complaining they would cost the company too much money. As one politician told me today it “hasn’t aged well”. My latest on #OptusHack #auspol for @10NewsFirst

[Peter Raftos 💧🏹��� @JOGBjqq]

@sussanley @AlboMP When Paul Fletcher was Communications Minister in 2020 his department reduced the security testing requirements for Optus. Also, Paul Fletcher was an Optus Director from 2000-2008. Remind us who was in government when the Optus data breach occurred?

Two grants in Barnaby Joyce's electorate - $600,000 for the Armidale Rams Rugby League Club and $3m for the Guyra Early Learning Centre - were announced by press release during the campaign but the decision was never communicated to the dept @msmarto https://t.co/Kd25t0n9po

Grill'd has been putting its staff through traineeships that allow them to pay a minimum wage of only $14.95/hr.

Staff say the "apprenticeships" aren't worth the paper.

But would you believe it: Grill'd also applied for subsidies worth $6000 per employee for their "training."
