🖊️ The Politics with @GreenJ: Sometimes a story breaks cover, becomes bigger than the ingrained deference of sports reporting. Often, though, you are left to wonder: why did this not come to light before? #AusPol https://t.co/c3vdcFmrR7

Not an original thought, this, by any means, but: You can't ban abortions. Only safe ones.

🧵 An incomplete list of current & former journos who seemed embarrassed by today's press pack antics. No doubt heaps I've missed, no doubt many more unable to speak up.

I know it's the end of the campaign, but is the press pack listening yet? Is self-reflection possible here?

Greens Leader Adam Bandt has rebuked a journalist's 'gotcha' question on a wage statistic by bluntly telling him: "Google it, mate".

Bandt, speaking at the #NPC, was asked whether he knew the current Wage Price Index in an apparent attempt to throw him off. #ausvotes #auspol

@VicGovDH what advice is being put together for the 10,000+ people told that their PCR can no longer be tested? For some doing a RAT hasn't been an option and they don't know if they had Covid.

Yes stop tweeting about this. It’s only drawing attention to Craig Kelly and crikey’s excellent strategy on how to deal with him.

[Hannah Simkin @HannahSimkin]

Disgusting. Your experience does not invalidate someone else's. I have zero doubt Ms Banks was pushed to breaking point, and that the behaviours she describes are rife in parliament

[bradpsychology @bradpsychology]

I don’t care how you normally vote. But this is beyond politics. These people are vile.

[The Age @theage]

The Prime Minister has made a couple of speeches in the past month in which he has focused on his faith and beliefs. But his declarations sit at odds with his own behaviour, writes @JohnRHewson. | OPINION https://t.co/E4BgXaST3i
