@SR_Duncan @misskylie77 1000000% performative

[Tom Studans @maximumwelfare]

The people who are saying this seem to believe it somehow justifies ravenously politicising a violent attack on an elected official to suit their own ends. It is irrelevant, and indefensibly self-obsessed—the throbbings of a guilty conscience.

[WALLY BENCIC @wpbencic]

I see the Haines attacker has now been charged, will Albanese now also be charged for in-sighting violence via his circulated dirt file ?

@Jansant 100%

FTR this is exactly the politics Indi rejected and the whole affair, even under normal circumstances, would be like water off a ducks back to most of Helen's constituents.

[Tom Studans @maximumwelfare]

@will_evans_qld It's a defensive context push because he was already being asked the usual stupid circular questions (mostly) about pork barrelling. Few parties to that debate are really interested in addressing the issue as anything other than a stick to whack your opponents with as you say.

[Tom Studans @maximumwelfare]

How thick do you have to be as Anthony Albanese in 2026 to pretend you're suddenly not a dirt sheet guy? Why would you inflict this on yourself? There's zero upside.

[Kevin Bonham @kevinbonham]

This is either completely dishonest or completely clueless from the PM and is disgraceful. The page doing the rounds clearly attacks Haines and implies she has double standards on porkbarrelling and may have hidden conflicts of interest.

[Tom Studans @maximumwelfare]

@will_evans_qld This is 100% standard pork barrelling discourse-mongering man, I dunno what to tell you. Happens every term. The problem here is trying to pretend it's actually a 'respect' sheet 😭

[Tom Studans @maximumwelfare]

@will_evans_qld It's essentially *standard backgrounding* and he has more or less *accepted* it's a dirt sheet here, he's just trying to downplay it 😭

[Tom Studans @maximumwelfare]

It's not as if the document in question is a severe example. He's the first to accuse others of playing politics, and he's made a very successful career of that. It is a totally separate issue, there are clear distinctions to be drawn, we are talking 10 minutes of preparation.

@alt911theories What if the guy in the mirror was gay? Amusing to consider, satirically

[Tom Studans @maximumwelfare]

If I worked for one of those wonderful Australian political satire humour news websites, I would submit the following headline:

Gay guy drinking a Crown Lager

[Olivia Caisley @livcaisley]

PM Anthony Albanese on ABC 702 suggests the dirt sheet (my words) was created to highlight Helen's integrity achievements🙃.
The title of the doc was 'In the past two years - the member for Indi has asked for more than $1.8 billion worth of funding for projects she's selected.'

[Tom Studans @maximumwelfare]

@kevinbonham It's the only thing not to do here, really. There is a clear distinction to be drawn accepted by everyone with their head screwed on. This is the only available wrong option.

[Kevin Bonham @kevinbonham]

This is either completely dishonest or completely clueless from the PM and is disgraceful. The page doing the rounds clearly attacks Haines and implies she has double standards on porkbarrelling and may have hidden conflicts of interest.

@PossiblyGeorge @DHughesy You are mentally ill. Seek help.

[Tom Studans @maximumwelfare]

@DHughesy Literally no-one gives a shit except you strange cunts huffing your own piss on the internet all day. The very vast majority of the country thinks you’re freaks who are physically incapable of shutting the fuck up and displaying some basic adult human dignity for five seconds.

[Tom Studans @maximumwelfare]

@ztasre It’s coming home.

[Tom Studans @maximumwelfare]

Broden Kelly you cannot possibly be selling EVERY product in Australia. Brodenflation is out of control, completely unsustainable

[Tom Studans @maximumwelfare]

Everyone saying dumb shit like this is currently self-immolating in the court of public opinion due to their defective personality. I cannot be clearer than that. Most people think you’re a freak, because you are. You are clearly ashamed to know yourselves, and so you should be.
