@TroyBramston @australian A great 50-year retrospective on Neville Wran @TroyBramston. Glad you called out the ABC’s effort to traduce his name a few years ago. Reflected more on ABC than Wran. Peter Malinauskas is in the same whip smart class as Wran. Wran would have been a good PM. Malinauskas likewise.

@TroyBramston @NSWLabor As opposition leader he had an open door policy for the press gallery. I once asked would we have to call him Premier if he won. He said “Dave if I win the election, you can call me shithead if you like!” So when he came into the tally centre I said to him, “How are yo shithead?

@TerenceMcCart14 This is Australia. Let’s keep the wee free.

@mirandadevine @SharriMarkson The documentary is powerful and brilliant all at once.

@TimWilsonMP This was just silly Tim. If you’re going to be shadow treasurer take the job seriously. The Liberal position won’t improve on the back of such silliness in the parliament.

[David Jones @davidjo555]

@nyunggai Too right.

[David Jones @davidjo555]

@SharriMarkson Good on you Sharri.

@mirandadevine As you know Miranda, here in Sydney we lost a harbourside tram shed but got a magnificent Opera House. Same, same White House ballroom?

[David Jones @davidjo555]

@QuentinDempster @bobjcarr Certainly an interesting opinion piece and some useful clarification but makes no mention that the predecessors of China’s current communist rulers had little to do with the defeat of Japan 80 years ago, so why be there for their celebration?

@pwafork A peaceful demonstration except for a few inconvenient things like a despot’s portrait.

@SharriMarkson PM Netanyahu was right that malevolence of this kind would find us whether we liked it or not.

[David Jones @davidjo555]

@SharriMarkson There was a time when Australia was a friend to most nations but now under Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong we trash allies and alliances at will while giving comfort to a terrorist organisation.

[David Jones @davidjo555]

@SenatorWong @DubesAustralia @dfat @Menlu_RI Like we once had an ally in Israel until you destroyed it.

@Matkins2021 @AlboMP Meantime, the hostages ….

@AlboMP Meantime, the hostages ….

[David Jones @davidjo555]

@AlboMP @JulieCollinsMP @madonna_jarrett The hostages didn’t have such a good day Prime Minister.

[David Jones @davidjo555]

@AlboMP Good that you had time to stop to hear Hamas has thanked Australia for your decision. By the way, the hostages are still being held captive.

[David Jones @davidjo555]

@AlexanderDowner Let’s face it. There is no plan.

[David Jones @davidjo555]

@SenatorWong Sen Wong you did this but you refused to even visit the places where Hamas carried out its slaughter and took hostages some of whom are still being held.
