As Australians watched the @storm take on the @PenrithPanthers in tonight’s National Rugby League Grand Final, we've uncovered an @NRL connection in #SouthSudan.
Did you know that the some of the streets of #Juba, the world’s newest capital city in South Sudan, are named after #Queensland State of Origins legends and no one knows why?
Streets like Arthur Beetson Drive, Mal Meninga Way, Wally Lewis Street, and many more honour greats from the Queensland Maroons team.

FFS. The flag at Parliament House has nothing to do with the government. Nothing. And Tehan well knows this. He’s trying for cheap political points. Pathetic.
Does @PaulFletcherMP do any real work instead of getting News Ltd to do his dirty work? He has only moved amendments to 4 pieces of leg, I have moved at least 20, other indies many as well. We are working to improve legislation. Bradfield deserves better. @Nicolette_Boele#auspol
Reputation? I’d say more damage was done to the reputation of Linda Reynolds in this video than anything that was posted on Twitter by Brittany Higgins. #AUSPOL
The time the opposition leader announced he has a plan to build a bunch of nuclear plants in 10-15 years and then just dropped some concept art stolen from the internet and refused to elaborate further
dutton's team weren't able to succesfully get commuter carparks built when they were in government, but they'll build seven uncosted nukes in 11 years, sure.
@PeterDutton_MP Like we can trust the party responsible for both Robodebt and half-arsing the NBN to build nuclear power stations…This is a Trojan Horse policy designed to prolong coal use and distract Australians from practical solutions to climate change. No real plan, just a fanciful concept
fixed it for you...
"Hung Parliament" was taken from the term "hung jury" 1974 - meaning a jury that is unable to reach a decision.
More diverse and more broadly representative parliaments (like the one @TonyHWindsor & @RobOakeshott1 were central to) often reach MORE decisions.
"Norway taxes the oil industry to subsidise university education to make it free, and to subsidise social housing.
"Australia does exactly the opposite."

Australia’s media breathlessly reported every fact, opinion and half-arsed supposition in the universe when Julia Gillard lost a shoe, had an empty fruit bowl and was told off for wearing jackets but can’t now find the time for any report on a politician who seems to be hopelessly drunk on the job every day of the week and twice on fucking Sundays.

Filed under couldnt make it up: The board from Singtel-owned Optus are in Australia, getting a front row seat to the disaster unfolding.
The last time they were? The Optus hack.

It takes real chutzpah for the Coalition to have occupied the government benches for 21 of the last 27 years and blame everyone else for failures in Indigenous policy.
“This opposition leader makes things up regularly, sometimes several times a day, with growing confidence.”
Peter Dutton is Australia's figurehead of fear and fake news, like Trump but without charisma | Katharine Murphy on politics.#auspol

For Chancellor of Australian National University and Former Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party, Julie Bishop, the Voice is about better outcomes for Indigenous Australians giving them the tools and the right to propose solutions to the challenges in their communities.
