I don’t live anywhere near Canberra but feel more represented by @DavidPocock than anyone else. #insiders

Enough of this migrant witch-hunting. It’s obvious the Liberals and One Nation are in a battle to out-racist one to appease Reclaim Australia voter base. #abc730

#Budget2026

[Lesley Apps @lesamia]

A broken promise by Labor to salvage young people’s futures -v- the rorting that went on over 9 years of Liberals. How about some perspective on the political crime this government is being accused of. #abc730

This narrow view that Australian Jewish people are treated badly for no reason at all except being Jewish has got to stop. Israel’s behaviour and the Australian Jewish support of it, is the reason for the increase in persecution. That’s it. #abc730

White women shutting down the brown guy when he brings up Australian racism. #insiders

Ffs having a go at the foreign minister of Iran about taking a week to respond to #abc730 interview request. They are busy defending themselves against tyrants Sarah. Fancy having a potshot for not prioritising a 30min news program in Australia.

[Lesley Apps @lesamia]

They aren’t bombing Iran to save women. They just blew up 160 girls. Stop your shitty attempts at feminism to justify starting a war. #insiders

If the government wants to tackle inequality via asset growth and tax equality then bring back Inheritance tax. Trillions set to be passed from one generation to another thanks to legislation that turned the family home into a tax-free lottery win. #auspol

One Nation’s popularity surge isn’t surprising after what happened with the Voice referendum. When it comes time to choose, Australia chooses racism. #auspol #onenation

Interesting how the two failures in AFL progress is its women’s league and the western Sydney team. A cynic might be forgiven for thinking there’s sexism and racism at play here. #offsiders

I feel terrified when I see a bunch of Australian flags at a rally, not Palestinian or Aboriginal ones. #4corners

[Lesley Apps @lesamia]

Don’t presume Aboriginal women aren’t killed by white men.

[Lesley Apps @lesamia]

If Australian Muslims have to wear responsibility for extremists in their community I look forward to white Australian men taking responsibility for all the domestic violence deaths perpetrated by their community. #4corners

[Lesley Apps @lesamia]

The government lights the tinder box by inviting the head of a genocidal state here and then tells everyone to turn the temperature down. #gaslighting #730report

[Lesley Apps @lesamia]

The lag in investigating an act of terrorism against Indigenous people and the controversial visit by Herzog are shoved at the end of #insiders like token afterthoughts. How about giving them the same prevalence and forensic discussions afforded to in-house political bickering.

I hope the findings of this #RoyalCommission equates to the Zionist Lobby going back for their hat.

[Lesley Apps @lesamia]

The fact the male-centric AFL won’t elevate the AFWL by allowing them to play the GF at Marvel Stadium speaks volumes about its culture of holding women back. #offsiders

[Lesley Apps @lesamia]

The term ‘ late-term abortion’ is cited purely to vilify all women. We see you #andrewhastie #insiders
