@MikeCarlton01 They will claim you can't joke about anything and that everything has gone woke. And then in the next sentence clutch their pearls over a joke.

@DHughesy It's like Dave has woken from a 20 year coma and forgotten the years of LNP govt and stagnant wage growth

[Cassablanca @bentleya1]

@c3po2011g @DrewPavlou @LeeKuanYimby His being dumb is like death. It's only painful for other ppl.

@LNPvoterfail @PaulRob11880584 I don't think discipline is the issue. House price increases have far outstripped wage growth for the ordinary wage earner. So I don't care how disciplined you are you're fighting a losing battle. But also accessing super is not the answer. As PJK said you can't eat a house

@Peter_Fitz You're right there. When Menzies creates the party he specifically didn't call them the conservatives, as he said they would vote for them anyway. The old saying party of doctors wives. Socially progress fiscally conservative. The current party has strayed so far from it's roots

@stiegs82 @DHughesy You obviously don't remember the Howard and Costello era. They wasted and entire mining boom on baby bonus and tax cuts. The instant right off deduction was a way to help ppl in a time of supply side inflation.

@aaronsmith Well given the Torago was last sold in 2019 that might be the.ost apt description the LNP.

@AllanHolt9 @aaronsmith My dad was a tradesman for his whole life and only retired a few years ago. Never had a 4×4 dual cab anything. Had Holden utes when I was young and then went to vans like a HiAce. There are any number of electric vans for trades ppl.

Not just lack of governance & accountability for public $, but lobbying against abortion, VAD, LGBTQI rights while running the 2nd largest publicly subsidised schooling system in Australia. Is this what parents choosing Catholic schools sign up for? https://t.co/xWAKSFrhXd

Israel abducted a 20-year-old woman from her home in the occupied West Bank in the middle of the night on June 2.

Her name is Sama Safi.

She is not a combatant.

She is an American-Palestinian university student.

She has now been caged in an Israeli dungeon for 58 days — without charges, without reason.

And yet, the same voices that claim to care about human rights have nothing to say.

No outrage. No headlines. No urgent calls for her freedom.

Because Sama is Palestinian, her story is ignored.

You saw this…

That’s how we disappear.
If you stopped,
leave anything.

@drpete00 @TracyWesterman Just like ON, the Libs and their ilk can't clearly articulate their policy because it invites scrutiny and ppl would vote for them

[Cassablanca @bentleya1]

@ArnoldRimmer1 @brucehawker2010 @NickBryantNY @quirk_cilla Who caught it from whom?

[Cassablanca @bentleya1]

@supertanskiii It's the same the world over. We have our own version in Australia. The two guard rails we have keeping them at bay are universal enfranchisement (everyone votes or turns up) and preferential voting, sometimes called rank choice. Means appealing to a core fringe only goes so far

[Cassablanca @bentleya1]

@PaulineHansonOz So does that mean not draping themselves in the flag of another country in our national parliament or wearing it next the national flag as a pin?

[Cassablanca @bentleya1]

@lesstenny Haven't even walked into a store in years

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Massive call out to my brave, beautiful & fearless friend Noa Avishag Schnall @NoaAvishag of the @gbsumudflotilla who yesterday had the courage, while zip-tied, to shout at Ben Gvir to his face that he was a "genocidal maniac," after which she was assaulted & beaten up by his henchmen. Following a global outcry she and her fellow activists have now arrived safely in Istanbul, severely bruised but unbowed. She will be telling her story @JLFLitfest London at 15.00 on Saturday, 6th June.

[Cassablanca @bentleya1]

@JaneCaro Never.

[Cassablanca @bentleya1]

@YvonneGunn @aaronsmith @PatersJpat @corybernardi Well they will never be in power so a rort is not available to them. But they certainly can grift.
