"No chairman of any major organisation ... can be so witless as to send an email - an email, for pity’s sake, traceable forever! - effectively admitting he is doing the government’s dirty work, and expect to survive."

WHY is Liberal Wentworth candidate Dave Sharma saying sorry, after 'denigrating' teachers?
He wrote the article, so he must have meant what he wrote - otherwise, why would anyone believe anything that he says? https://t.co/h9SQXVAgQN #auspol

It serves as a ghastly warning of what happens to organisations when they try to solve structural problems with a consumerist approach. They inevitably lose their way - and lose themselves.

So Morrison has now axed this bizarre tweet. Probably because it broke all the rules of using parliamentary footage ; broke the copyright Laws ; and was a song about anal sex. Astounding.

[Malcolm Turnbull @TurnbullMalcolm]

The point I have made to @ScottMorrisonMP and other colleagues is that given the uncertainty around Peter Dutton’s eligibility, acknowledged by the Solicitor General, he should be referred to the High Court, as Barnaby was, to clarify the matter.

A great video from @WSAA_Water highlighting the simple ways water utilities can make a difference.

It all starts with aligning with the @UN's Sustainable Development Goals 6, #cleanwater and #sanitation.

Predicting @sussanley and @SHendersonMP will cop a massive backlash over this. (@WilkieMP's comments about what it does for the relationship between voters and MPs well worth considering). From me for @smh @theage @PoliticsFairfax

The best news I’ve read for a month:
@Barnaby_Joyce has only sold 1,576 copies of his book, with all that free publicity?

I’m guessing someone has lost a lot of $$
