@ScooterMcNeice As Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face, but that's the game. You've got to be good enough to ride the blow, and that comes down to preparation, resilience, and coaching. If that's Scott's message, and if it isn't getting through, that’s on him.

@KosSamaras If only Albo could speak with such clarity and sincerity.

has any journo asked @PaulFletcherMP 2024 whether he agrees with @PaulFletcherMP 2018?

I admire the Israelis who speak out against this monstrous occupation, dispossession and subjection of the Palestinians more than I can say. Just listen to this clip: heart-breaking

“How can you trap 2.3 million people in Gaza, half of whom are unemployed, in one of the most densely populated spots on the planet for 16 years, reduce the lives of its residents, half of whom are children, to a subsistence level, deprive them of basic medical supplies, food, water and electricity, use attack aircraft, artillery, mechanized units, missiles, naval guns and infantry units to randomly slaughter unarmed civilians and not expect a violent response?”

Senator Sarah Henderson has threatened to report a constituent to the Australian Federal Police because this constituent sent her a letter.

Read Robin's letter, and then read Henderson's response.

Senator Henderson is out of order. She's forgotten that her job is to represent.

Making decisions based on fear is not good for us as people and won't allow us to move forward as a country.

An article by @paulsakkal in the @smh has confirmed the 'No' campaign is deliberately using misinformation to generate fear & doubt in undecided voters.

@RonnyLerner Fair enough he wants to get a move on, but maybe get a sighter first.

The one on the left was labelled "Quick-thinking Foakes stumps Balbirnie". The same news site asks whether Bairstow's dismissal is “The most controversial moment of the Ashes so far?" #fairgame

[Victoria Fielding @DrVicFielding]

If Michaelia Cash perjured herself, she has potentially caused a mistrial by contributing to evidence falsely suggesting Higgins is an unreliable witness. This has big legal ramifications for Cash and could be miscarriage of justice. Will Cash be chased through airport over this?

@sunriseon7 Here’s the full 20 minute exchange between Linda Reynolds, Katy Gallagher & Penny Wong. It’s quite clear that Gallagher is responding to the claim Labor new “2 weeks before” and shows it’s Reynolds who misled the parliament: https://t.co/ilEE52AXZ5

The shadow treasurer was red-faced after telling Insiders that Australia has the highest inflation in the G7. Not only is Australia not in the G7, we wouldn’t have the highest rate of inflation even if we were. Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus.

"The Great Gatsby" was published on this day in 1925.

When Alonzo Vereen began teaching the novel to his students, many of whom were from communities of color, they were initially uninterested. Then he found a way to bring the novel to life: https://t.co/Gj77iKJw1C

It is absolutely overdue for the flawed PRRT to be corrected so that Australia earns an acceptable share of royalties on LNG exports from Federal waters @JEChalmers @SenKatyG.
The LNG industry is earning ~$65bn gross profit in 2022, we get just $2.6bn?!
