Dan Andrews ran press conferences for 120 days without a break during the pandemic.

Neil Mitchell wasn’t banned.
He was too lazy to turn up.

The way Jim Chalmers disagrees with journalists without putting them down is so elegant. Never gets grumpy, always polite and across his portfolio. Barnaby could take a few lessons. 😉 #auspol #ABC730

@RobertEverett4 @DHughesy Dave Hughes has produced precisely zero verified examples to substantiate his endless outrage about waste.

Yet when documented spending involves a Liberal MP whose campaign he launched, the outrage evaporates.

The dictionary definition of hypocrite has been udpated.

[Hugh Riminton @hughriminton]

@nate_nugent @AustralianLabor Can you identify any factual errors in that tweet? Do you understand that reporting facts is not simply reporting facts? Save your hate, fella.

[Ash @AshPolitik]

Neil, 3AW was never banned from parliament nor press conferences.

@aaronsmith @GideonCRozner Hey, I can produce information like the former long-term IPA board member Maurice O’Shannessy using ChatGPT! Aren’t I clever?

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

@GideonCRozner A non peer-reviewed study by a Director of the IPA.

The only way this could be less credible Gideon is if you produced it yourself.

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

Given Jess Wilson says Victoria is broke, I’m starting a series looking at some Libs' approach to taxpayer-funded fiscal restraint.

@DHughesy is very welcome to follow along.

First up: Matthew Guy, Shadow Minister for Vic Public Transport, and apparently, much of Earth. 🧵

I think it’s hilarious when MAGA says they voted for Trump so he could take down the entire corrupt system… he is the entire corrupt system you dumb fucks.

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

@DHughesy @geoffsmith55 @VictorianLabor You’ve spent months raging about politicians wasting taxpayer money, Dave.

Then I put one you actively support in front of you and suddenly you’re all out of rage.

Just look at this photo Dave.

A scientist changing their mind after seeing new evidence isn’t hypocrisy.

It’s literally their job.

Lord Cardigan also assured us, back in the day, that George Dubya Bush was a ‘new Winston Churchill.’

protest a genocide and you get expelled

gang rape a student and you write an essay

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

Odd. @DHughesy normally materialises instantly when his name appears.

This thread questions spending of taxpayer money by Bev McArthur, whose campaign Dave launched, and who he champions for govt.

Dave is uncharacteristically silent.

I suggest as many as possible remind him.

Barnaby Joyce left fuming in a trainwreck on Sunrise after claiming One Nation will resurrect every single already-retired coal-fired power station, only to have zero clue on cost.
Barr “How much would that cost?”
Plibersek “He doesn’t know.”🔥
So embarrassing, and sad. #auspol

For the rapist defenders:

Ketamine is not a party drug in that it gets you just high. It causes the user to lose ability to control their bodies at high doses and leaves the person conscious but unable to move, speech or consent.

The amount of ketamine given to the Cornell gang rape victim is enough to leave her defenseless for the 7 hours she was raped. They kept giving her more and more on their dicks as they raped her.

If you are using the defense that she took it willingly, you are total scum and you are telling the world you would rape a paralyzed person for 7 hours and think it is okay.

Accepting drugs is not consent to sex.
Getting drunk is not consent to sex.
Consent to sex with one person isn't consent to sex with 6 others.

See the pattern.

You must get consent to everything.

These men invited others when she couldn't move, couldn't consent and let them rape her.

The world failed this poor woman.

Melissa Clarke nails it on @InsidersABC especially nailed Sheridan
