Retired from the pursuit of wealth-- interested in politics-- left wing by inclination-- like to think I have a social conscience-- very family oriented

@CrocodileChuck @PhillipAdams_1 So what--my point was that the privatised entities are not what they used to be. I do have a passing knowledge of CBA having worked there for 41 years. I agree its all about shareholders value now as it is with Qantas but dont expect to be viewed as other than just another ASX co

I would trade a long overdue premiership for my beloved Adelaide Crows for this - put it in your list of “ where was when I heard” events

As Bob Menzies would have said “ I did but see her passing by and yet I love her till I die”

[Phillip Adams @PhillipAdams_1]

I’m in love

Yes- I unsubscribed today- I only made the occasional small financial donation to them but no more- if I want anti Labor nonsense I can get it from Murdoch!

[claude long @longhaven]

@DavidPocock You have created a pretty good name for yourself in the last few years--don't throw it away by being as "cute" and political as some of your colleagues of the green persuasion-nothing easier than sniping from the crossbench with no real responsibility.

[claude long @longhaven]

@xskinn Oh Ian that's a cop out--voting for an Independent is akin to voting for The Greens--both groups have the easy task of sitting on the outside looking in with no prospects of ever having to be truly accountable.

And of course Morrison sharing a number of ministries with his colleagues

[Craig Hill @CraigHill01]

The job sharing MP idea is not without precedent. We had Murdoch sharing the Prime Ministership with Morrison, Turnbull and Abbott.

Donald Trump still free

Write a very sad story...

in only 4 words. 😢.

Oops - a tad embarrassing - that’s what you get when you X before you think 😀😀

Signature climate policy FAIL. Safeguard Mechanism has enabled increase in greenhouse gas emissions. . How is that so? @AlboMP @BowenChris Lauded it was, ended climate gridlock it did. What say you now @climatecouncil? https://t.co/NrvGsPYcGb #auspol

This is politics 101 surely--every day that Trump persists in the American political landscape is yet another day that this once bastion of freedom and democracy sinks further into the mire

Hidden Figures- a wonderful movie well worth watching

[Peter FitzSimons @Peter_Fitz]

Geez, this is strong. What film?

[claude long @longhaven]

Can I add another example- The knight on the bridge- Monty Python also comes to mind- anybody got any more to add to describe the irrelevancy that is the Dutton Liberal Party and in particular Sussssan?

[claude long @longhaven]

Watching Sussan and her mates beaming and smiling last night brought to mind a vision of a punched out fighter in the ring after 10 rounds smiling and saying That didn’t hurt and also Ben Stokes declaring England had yet another “moral victory”

[LaurieOakes @LaurieOakes]

ABC brings on Sussan Ley for comic relief.

Netanyahu is inhumane and is dumb.Religious conflict in ME is 2000 years old-Hamas knew what he would do in response to the attack,they don’t care about their people but know that every child that survives will become a freedom fighter.Two states now.

[Tony Windsor @TonyHWindsor]

PM @AlboMP u did the right thing by putting the Voice to the Australian people,you did the right thing by refocusing the tax cuts….it’s time to do the right thing,strengthen our position re Netanyahu & his genocide.
Killing kids,herding ppl into extermination camps is out!

In every field of human endeavour and business if a better outcome can be achieved due to changed circumstances, we expect it to be implemented. Failure to do so would be absolutely stupid-why should politics be different.?

[Rohan Connolly @rohan_connolly]

Umm, yeah we can mate. Cheers. 🙄

[claude long @longhaven]

@rnclelland At the risk of appearing flippant and uncaring of Nicola’s plight ( heart wrenching as it is) surely the journo has miss spelt her name - maybe Richerit rather than Pitcherit is more apt or even at the risk of being considered more heartless “Richtwit” would be a better moniker

[claude long @longhaven]

If Dutton thinks the referendum result enhances his chance for government he best think again. All the Teal Seats voted YES--Kooyong,North Sydney,Warringah,Wentworth and Goldstein by big margins--without them he has no chance of winning power next time

[claude long @longhaven]

What a crazy post--Hitler,Stalin,Idi Amin et al all become famous because of their decisions--doesn't make any of them right or commendable!

[Shaikh Javed @ShaikhSahab__]

@CalltoActivism There is not a single leader of any country in the world whom the whole country likes. Some American citizens liked Trump and some disliked him, but Trump became famous in the world because of his decisions.
