The far-right is rising, but so are the people who will stop it. I just pledged to never vote One Nation. Will you do the same? https://t.co/arg3YD4JoZ
So petrol has gone up 50-60c a litre. That’s bare-faced highway robbery. Any petrol in Australian service station tanks right now is pre-war, bought and refined at pre-war prices .The oil companies are blatantly price gouging, ripping us off.
If you, like me, are concerned about the direction our country will go if a Trump Tower is built in our country, then join me in objecting! https://t.co/ipuIOh6qZh via @getup
ASIC searches show Angus Taylor was a director and secretary of Eastern Australia Agriculture. Last yr profit $28m. No tax. Sale of water licences $52m. Parent is Eastern Australia Irrigation (Cayman Isles) which appears to have received $14m in interest payments.
Sorry to inform you Tim - hope is not a strategy. Australians need real policies and real economic clout, not a political entertainer.
Let's be honest about your record, Tim - what have you actually delivered for ordinary Australians? A taxpayer-funded franking credits roadshow that benefited your own family's financial interests. Parliamentary theatrics. Culture war headlines. Think tank slogans dressed up as policy. That's not a record of delivery - that's a record of blatant self-promotion.
Your leader's first act was appointing you as shadow treasurer. Consider your qualifications: as Chair of the House Economics Committee from 2018 to 2021, you ran taxpayer-funded hearings directly benefiting your distant cousin's $3 billion investment fund, in which you held undisclosed shares. Three separate inquiries followed. The Speaker rebuked you for "damaging" conduct.
Culture wars don't balance budgets, Tim. Your entire political brand has been built on free speech absolutism, identity politics, and parliamentary theatrics. These are the skills of a political entertainer, not an economic heavyweight.
And winning back Goldstein with $1.58 million in proxy attack advertising while the Liberal Party lost four other Melbourne metropolitan seats is not the political masterclass you're celebrating. That's a pyrrhic victory.
Jim Chalmers has already sized you up perfectly: "long on ego, arrogance and entitlement and short on empathy or understanding." He also notes you floated privatising Medicare, argued against penalty rates and minimum wage increases, and called for dismantling compulsory super. That's not orthodox economic management - that's an attack on ordinary working Australians.
You don't spend two decades building a brand on division and grievance and then suddenly become a sober economic statesman because the title changes. We certainly won't be holding our breath in hope.
Just saying, hope is not a strategy.

When politicians claim to speak for battlers while flying private with billionaires, Australians deserve to see the truth. Together, let's call out the gap between Pauline Hanson’s “battler” image and billionaire reality. https://t.co/b7SAoNQfyH
This is the most disgraceful display of homophobia and judicial interference by an unelected citizen
The Hon Viriginia Bell is openly gay - that's what these coded references to "too progressive" and "the right Commissioner" means
Trump interferes with judicial appointments too
So now Frydenberg wants to pick some pliant, obedient stooge to run the show. This is preposterous. @AlboMP should tell him to fuck off. RT if you agree.
