One of the biggest pressures on the Budget in May will be billions of dollars for ongoing programs which our predecessors announced but didn't fund in an ongoing way. It will take more than one or two budgets to clean up the mess they left behind #auspol#ausecon#qt
Hi all, could you please drop what you're doing right now so we can have a minute's silence for the journos sulking all over Twitter because they didn't get to go to China with Dan? They spent years painting him as an unhinged blood-thirsty dictator but now miss out 😭 #auspol

Can somebody please explain to me how the alleged war criminal is out on bail while a Journalist who exposed war crimes languishes in a high-security hell-hole in Totalitarian Britain, left to die? Am I living in a parallel universe or is this the new way? #auspol#Assange 🎗🕊⚖️
[A short thread] The fuss about @DanielAndrewsMP not taking journalists with him to China is a manufactured story by the journos themselves. They are not being "excluded" - they are more than welcome to travel there and report on Andrews if they so wish. #auspol 1/4
Fresh from not learning any lessons at all from NSW, Victoria and federal elections, the Liberal Party is asking if #VoicetoParliament will make decisions on energy prices, interest rates…
They just keep wanting to descend into that hole of irrelevance. #QT#auspol
With the #nswelection almost done and dusted..& best forgotten by RW pundits..

Don't let them forget Roshena Campbell is a blow-in hard-right & the wife of Murdoch flunky, James Campbell.

#auspol Just turned to Question time to hear Sussan Ley say “there are no blank cheques”. Oh disagree LNP distributed lots of blank cheques to tune of $1Billion.
Greens, Coalition & entire crossbench unite to force inquiry into ‘broken’ FOI system:
“The motion, put by the Greens senator David Shoebridge, was supported by the Coalition and the entire crossbench, passing 43 votes to 19 — with only Labor opposed…” https://t.co/jt1pTbhc6q
Angus Taylor says Labor should have cleaned up their mess sooner, but in doing so confirms that the Liberals cooked the books and didn't fund MyGov.
Well done, Angus.

Great chat with @JEChalmers and @AlisonByrnesMP about the inflation slaying, planet saving benefits when we #electrifyeverything. Households can save thousands, we all can save the climate!
