Born immaculate from an old workboot on a Wednesday afternoon behind the chook shed.
Hopeful fearful often dreadful, more weathered than wise.
Curious.

Twitter doesn't have to be a brawling bearpit.

It can be a park bench momentarily shared by strangers, both enjoying the day.

It can be the long table in the town square, where new friends are made, tales exchanged and burdens shared.

It can truly be a marketplace of ideas.

Australians have placed their trust & hope in a new Government. This budget must stop the old heartless approach. A new way, a better way, clear horizons and a path forward. The budget must deliver. @CSMCVIC @c_s_wallace

@atypicalhippy @criprights Can we pay extra for her to keep wearing the burqa, or a gunny sack?

I have never, ever, in all the years that I have traipsed around Parliament, seen Pauline Hanson in the flesh.

So I did a search of how many times she voted, and how many times she was absent.

It was almost 50/50. https://t.co/sk7raoop9G

Why didn't we halve her wages?

@Sammyboy7777Sam "Sharp" is Spud's new word for dull and abrasive.

@Sammyboy7777Sam Would that be the same sharp legal mind that had her staff tip off the media & led the cheerleading on the raids by the #ABCC of the #AWU Melb & Sydney offices? The same raids that were later found to have no reasonable grounds? https://t.co/LcVT9gCI8q

This is worth watching. It’s ten minutes long, but in that time it reveals why AUKUS is a big mistake.

The US, sometime in the past 20 years, has changed from something we could trust to something we simply can’t.

Our children deserve better.

Labor party shrugs cheerfully and says if only they were in a position to do something about it.

Australian foreign minister Penny Wong has performed one of the more dishonest grovels towards America, proving the most loyal and co-opted servant. This is because she and her warmongering government are worried. They fear your growing voice of sanity.

"If you are promoting a cause that neo-Nazis support, there is something profoundly wrong with your cause" .
Or maybe - If you sit at a table talking with Nazis. You have a table of Nazis.
Where does Peter Dutton sit.
Who is he supporting ??

No @Birmo it wasn’t shit stunts like bringing lumps of coal into parliament that was the problem for the LNP.
It was shit policies, a shit PM, corruption, incompetence, warped ideology, RoboDebt, racism, climate denialism, misogyny, attacks on workers, pork barreling and lies!

[Doug Cameron @DougCameron51]

By boycotting the introduction of the Voice to parliament @PeterDutton_MP is sending a message to the electorate of Aston that he is incapable of providing leadership.
The voters of Aston can send the Libs a message that racism, division, and petulant behaviour is not acceptable!

[Sabby Sabs @SabbySabs2]

I meant what I said. If you're bothered, maybe it's because you're one of the snobby white journalists I was referring to. Maybe you stole work from black journos. Maybe you gave white journos credit for work that black journos did first. Check your privilege 🤔.

Leaked polling reveals Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is a huge drag on the party’s chances in Saturday’s Aston by-election in Victoria...no shock there.
