We got rid of the big bully boys - Scmo. and Dutton

[Samantha Maiden @samanthamaiden]

Can someone explain to me - genuine question - how Liberals are saying they got whacked because didn’t attack @DanielAndrewsMP enough ? @JoshFrydenberg went harder than anyone including PM & lost seat. Opposition has been going off for two years down there and got wiped off map

The Fleet exiting B.Bay met two French Ships - La Parouse =. Now race was on to claim land. Gov. got the flag up first. (It wasn't the Union Jack - that dates to `1801.) 1789 = Bloody French Revo began. & crowned heads rolled. Dutch controlled region. Our lingo
shd be Dutch

[Cook - 1st Historian @IreneShanks2]

History is repeating. When Peter III's widow defeated Ottoman Empire she annexed Crimea for Russia.
When 1st Fleet were sailing to Australia.
All 11 ships anchored in Botany Bay by 20th Jan. 1770. Governor Philip decided Botany Bay wasn't good checked out Port Jackson.

There are too many in your case. Dutton's been in power for eight years. It's not a democracy but we are going to get to democracy with the next election. Hang in there by next election we hope you have freedom, together with the Family from BILOELA. THEY'RE INNOCENT TOO.

I've served more time than rapists, but I've never commited a crime in my whole life. My only "crime" was asking this country for safety.

A murderer might probably be out on probation by now...

@crikey_news @marquelawyers PM is a large male, used to throwing his weight around.
Legally Julie Bishop should have been the leader. She was, after all, the legally elected deputy. Instead we had an illegal Pentecostal.

[Cook - 1st Historian @IreneShanks2]

Gough Whitlam beat passed far more legislation after the Menzies Gov.

[Dr Sarah Russell @AgedMatters]

@simonahac @ScottMorrisonMP Worth remembering that Julia Gillard had the highest rate of passing legislation - despite having a minority government.

Doesn't say anything but uses foul English to say it.

Hold onto your hat Shakespeare!

To Vax or not to Vax
That is the question
Whether it is better to suffer
The breath-less-ness of Covid
And die gasping for air
OR
Get the Vax
It is only a pinprick.
It is your body and your choice
The Vax or the disease.

@bkbaguley Why should she lift a finger. Assange knew what he was doing. It was treasonable. He just doesn't want to face the consequences.

[Cook - 1st Historian @IreneShanks2]

Stuff of nightmares.

[Cook - 1st Historian @IreneShanks2]

It's time! Whitlam was right all those years ago. Fraser was LOO then and the GG called the Double Dissolution'
The Prime Minister was ignored. We should say Buzz Off Mr. Morrison. Or call a DD Mr. Morrison, or ask the GG to call it. It's time now to change our horses.

[Cook - 1st Historian @IreneShanks2]

Assange knew eactly what he was doing. Breaking the official act. During WW II he would have been hanged. He did the crime. He now cops payment.

[Christine Milne AO @ChristineMilne]

We know @ScottMorrisonMP is happy for an Aust citizen to be tortured indefinitely and handed over to US so what do you say @AlboMP? Every Aust PM incl Gillard has washed hands of Julian Assange. You said ‘Enough is enough’ but what will you do?#auspol

[Cook - 1st Historian @IreneShanks2]

NSW ICAC was a witch hunt. Left Premier Hobson's choice. ICAC don't know difference b/n investigation and interrogation. We do. First time ICAC
has produced real witch hunt. Too many women Fed. have put on pyre by Australian males. Premier NSW declined to see who lit it.

[Michael Croft @michaeldcroft]

@noplaceforsheep Looking forward to a robust Federal ICAC

@noplaceforsheep 13 Pentecostals out of 22 cabinet ministers can’t be wrong.

[Cook - 1st Historian @IreneShanks2]

Australia has never had a democracy. It has only ever been a Patriarchy. Menzies, Whitlam, Fraser, Keating, Howard. These cabinets were all male only cabinets.
I rest my case.

[Cook - 1st Historian @IreneShanks2]

fixing the Bruce Highway or even the Hann Highway.
Successive Queensland and Federal Governments have failed the Bruce and now it is Australia's most dangerous road with often daily fatalities.
The $5.4 billion will make commuters lives easier but won't save lives on the Bruce

[Cook - 1st Historian @IreneShanks2]

Queensland is the only Australian State without a Senate and it was a local Edward Theodore that got rid
of it in 1922. One house states are prone to dictatorships because of this. The Queensland Premier
faced a choice. The Cross River Rail costed at $5.4 billion or work >>>

[wazzap @wayneproctor1]

@noplaceforsheep This is exactly what other other authoritarian & dictatorial regimes have done throughout history.

Provide a 'mask of democracy' to hide the corruption & denial of freedoms that lie beneath.

[Cook - 1st Historian @IreneShanks2]

No choices for those living in the communities on Cape York. It's take it or leave it. Australians have complete freedom of religion, guaranteed. Hillsong excepted. I call that 'clap hands here comes Charlie" led by an ex window cleaner, its a sing song.

[Cook - 1st Historian @IreneShanks2]

I at last see where it all leads. The corrupted data 0r 2016, the denial of ABS to correct it. The Atheists who are completely in the minority, have now issued only secular Christmas cards to Australia Post. Those people who have a spiritual dimension have to go elsewhere >>>

[Cook - 1st Historian @IreneShanks2]

Christmas is not a tree, nor a fat man in a red suit, nor any other bangles, baubles or beads. It is the birth of a
baby.

[Cook - 1st Historian @IreneShanks2]

Every single Christmas Card in my Post Office for sale is secular. Every single one! And 62% of Australians have a spiritual dimension. Check your Post Office. Any genuine Christmas cards in any P.O. please let me know.
