@tanya_plibersek I am not interested in any recognition of the @AustralianLabor party while #DavidMcBride is in jail. Get him pardoned today!

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

@arielbogle Seven's behaviour as a news organisation is totally trashed. Firstly there was the Lehrmann debacle. Now, to fall for social media misinformation and name an innocent man as the culprit at BJ! 7 News should go off the air for a week in shame and for atonement.

I wonder if that climate denier @sussanley will now accept that lobbying and lying will not save the Reef. That's all she did and look at this report. #AusPol https://t.co/1gyDjkszqu

What about adding this to the list? 7. Real time reporting of all times ministers exercise "discretion" different to their department's recommendations? #AusPol

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

Will some friend or colleague please tap @karenandrewsmp on the shoulder & tell her how pathetic she sounds defending her prior bad decisions, like on #ABC RN this morning? Sounds like a petulant loser! That's right! She is one. #auspol

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

Dutton's ineffective #COALition dragons have little fire based on performance so far, but @AlboMP's government could indeed blow everything if they stop being honest with us, or fail on #Climate or #Integrity. Can they stay the course? #AusPol

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

Now fossil fuel companies can't be sponsors & will go the way of cigarettes & alcohol companies, will gambling & fast food be the next targets? Soon, only Harvey Norman will be allowed to advertise, and I don't look forward to that! #Media

Just as Australia's tax system needs wholesale reform & not tinkering around the edges as vested interests seek, so does our visa system which seems to prefer bureaucratic trouble and heartache for the most needy and vulnerable holders. Brave and humane reforms please! #AusPol

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

I look forward to the eventual ban on gambling ads because that will not only make watching TV more pleasurable, but also get rid of those infuriating wrap-around advertisements on newspapers disguised as news! #AusPol #NSWPol #media #noGamblingAds

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

Like other #COALition politicians, #AngusTaylor does better when out of power or out of the game. On #Insiders today, he was almost credible! As long as he's not pretending to understand science or technology he sounds authoritative. #AusPol

It's quite simple. The tower may well be architecturally magnificent, but 3 inescapable facts will forever blight it: 1. Approved by a corrupt process; 2. houses an unnecessary casino; 3. misappropriated public land. #NSWPol

@Groucho_25 As soon as I saw that Alan Jones was appearing, I changed the channel. I am deaf to anything that bigot says.

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

Wrong @AlboMP! NOW is very time to reopen the @AusRepublic question! By all means wait for the mourning period to be over, but then commission a comprehensive study on the competing #HOS selection options. This will be as hot a topic as anything to do with #TheVoice. #AusPol

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

The #NSWPol government has shown gross incompetence in regard to the #traindispute, but the union behaviour has been pure bastardry. Public safety is the union's least concern. Perhaps the negotiations should be public? That would certainly facilitate resolution!

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

Earlier you blamed your customers @Qantas so this token apology is pathetic & insincere. Instead of flogging wine and insurance, get back to your core business & focus on running a decent airline. Honest communications would be a good start, and stop outsourcing baggage handlers!

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

Actually, I'm starting to wonder if @ScottMorrisonMP needs care rather than opprobrium! After a obviously delusional press conference followed by a mindless rant on Facebook, maybe (like many footballers caught out) he has mental health issues needing sympathy & therapy. #AusPol

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

The megalomania of @ScottMorrisonMP shows how poor the controls in our Constitution are. So, while fixing the #Voice and a #Republic, we also desperately need to tighten up governance in the referendum to come. Hear the vibe, seize the day, @AlboMP ! #AusPol

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

Our failed PM @ScottMorrsionMP is but a minnow among this @cathywilcox1 meeting of dangerous maniacs, but there can be no doubt he admired them & modelled himself on them. A Christian hypocrite of the highest order. #AusPol

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

Reading @rosalinddixon15, it appears that @ScottMorrisonMP might have made some rare good decisions on these self-appointments. But I'm thinking that his fanatical secrecy deprived him of any credit for them, & has lowered his already negligible credibility. What a loser! #AusPol

[Mike Salon @hot_dipper]

Don't call for @ScottMorrisonMP to resign! That would be too easy for him. Back-bencher @ScottMorrisonMP should be expelled from @LiberalAUS so he can join the Teals on the cross-bench and see out his term serving those hapless fools in Cook who actually voted for him. #AusPol
