@PhillipAdams_1, I wish you had asked some questions about Solomon's views on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It seems to come down to opposing American militarism by in effect supporting the Russian version.

Unbelievably I have just received a demand letter from the Dept of Home Affairs insisting that we must immediately create a new dress code for citizenship ceremonies. Our continent has been engulfed in an inferno and acting as the fashion police is the Government’s priority?!1/3

Looks like @MarkFieldUK may be about to become a climate activist.

Imran Mohammad, the young Rohingya who was a refugee in Manus & accepted last yr by America today graduated from high school. He was jailed by Australian gov for almost 5yrs. Australia has stolen many opportunities of the innocent people it’s illegally detained

Looks like the State Crimes Protection Unit of the #AFP needs to work on its gender balance.

ABC lawyers and AFP officers hover over a computer as they work out what comes within the terms of the warrant. At the end of the table, on the right, are the AFP digital forensics people.

Media Watch presenter Paul Barry denounces AFP raid on national broadcaster ABC as “absolutely outrageous.” #DailyTelegraph

[Scott Mitchell @s_mitchell]

Just FYI about 15,000 people have gone to The Afghan Files since the raid so far.

[Scott Ludlam @Scottludlam]

remember that time they wiretapped the cabinet rooms in timor leste, used the intel to help the gas industry rip off the timorese, lied about it and went after the whistleblowers and their lawyers, all in the name of "national security"?

[ABC The Drum @ABCthedrum]

“This would not be allowed to happen in the United States under their constitution. My question is why is it allowed to happen in Australia in 2019” ABC journalist @TheLyonsDen has been sitting in on the AFP raids for hours and says it’s a savage assault on the media #TheDrum

[John Lyons @TheLyonsDen]

I have to say, sitting here watching police using a media organisation’s computers to track everything to do with a legitimate story I can’t help but think: this is a bad, sad and dangerous day for a country where we have for so long valued - and taken for granted - a free press

[John Lyons @TheLyonsDen]

Now for the really sensitive stuff. They’ve asked for the doors to be closed. (Somehow they haven’t booted me out so I’ll stay as long as I can.) This is a bizarre situation - I’m sitting in a room with 6 AFP officers conducting a raid who seem to be reading my tweets!

[Andrew Kelly @KellyaAndrew]

@TheLyonsDen Why did the ABC lawyers refuse to disclose the number?

[John Lyons @TheLyonsDen]

AFP leaving the ABC offices...

[John Lyons @TheLyonsDen]

And so it’s off into the night for the six AFP officers. For nine hours they’ve searched through ABC emails and documents. I think there’s a big question for the Australian public: is this what a free press looks like? Thank you all for your interest today. Regards, JL.

[John Lyons @TheLyonsDen]

AFP: I’m still staggered by the power of this warrant. It allows the AFP to “add, copy, delete or alter” material in the ABC’s computers. All Australians, please think about that: as of this moment, the AFP has the power to delete material in the ABC’s computers. Australia 2019.

[Andrew Kelly @KellyaAndrew]

@AusFedPolice We need a much more stringent and narrow definition of what can and can't count as "national security." And a Royal Commission into the AFP.

Have you made any comment @ODonohueMLC around @VictoriaPolice violence at @Hares_Hyenas?

[Stephen Jones @StephenJonesMP]

BREAKING: The Environment Minister is in big trouble. She has told Parliament she did not approve a series of grants, but told the voters of Dunkley she did.

Is this Corruption, Dishonesty or Incompetence?

[Andrew Kelly @KellyaAndrew]

@AusElectoralCom Why not have automatic enrolment of all eligible people?
