I abhor the conduct of Israel but also of Hamas, Iran and Hezbollah. I don’t want my feed to be filled with info re Gaza etc. Ditto for the US election. There is more than enough Australian material here to satisfy my hunger for info and discussion. I apologise for any offence

@MichaelWestBiz @MichaelPascoe01 @JEChalmers And vintage class warfare from the BCA in the lead up to an election

@MarkDiStef @MichaelPascoe01 Stokes behaves as if he’s the king of the fish in the most important sea. The reality is he’s the ugliest toad in a minor swamp

@TheAusInstitute @JoshBBornstein @GrogsGamut BCA is prone to letting its political predilections cloud its familiarity with the facts

@AlboMP I’m not going to follow you anymore Albo and I’m not going to renew my membership of the Glen Waverley branch. I’m extremely disappointed in your performance as PM. Cutting the nature positive bill was the last straw

@JoshBBornstein Or none of the above? This is the logical destination of the decades-long decay of the US. There is nothing to be gained from posts such as this, even though I sympathise with them

@rhysam Alas, I believe I understand it all too well. I recall the prequel

@rhysam I suspect Ms Bourke is the love child of Chip-on-his-shoulders Le Grand

@MichaelPascoe01 But you’re 💯 correct about the NFI

[Rick Grounds - voted Yes 😥 @Rgrounds16]

@MichaelPascoe01 Actually, not the case that it “will not do anything”. Rather, keep doing what it has been doing, ie hold the line that defeating inflation is the absolute priority and a high interest rate is the best tool in the armoury

@MichaelPascoe01 Michael, that is a tad mono-causal. Harris has been visible to most Australians for only a short time, not likely to make much of an impression here given other preoccupations closer to home

Good column as usual from Sean.

@MichaelPascoe01 It will have to break with its tradition of waiting for an excess of evidence before it moves rates up or down, by which time, of course, it’s far too late to achieve a sound result

@MichaelPascoe01 Not sure that this clipping, crowded with hype and statements of the obvious, is evidence of a superior intellect, imo

The last handful of paragraphs in this piece by the conscientious Adam Morton are the most important in some respects. I’d like to see them revisited in more detail and depth https://t.co/OHJZxtI3Al

This is the most constructive piece I’ve read in relation to NACC and the Robodebt referrals. Highly recommend reading it

Dutton had said “no” on Tues when asked if he had ever sought Mrs Rinehart’s assistance for flights
