Update: Mr Costello says he denies coming into contact with the journalist and claims the journalist “walked back into an advertising placard and he fell over”.
Convicted felon Donald Trump has raised eyebrows by claiming his trial, where overwhelming evidence saw him convicted on all charges, was “rigged”. The rubbish claim is typical of a conman who has exhibited a long, pathological pattern of lying and dodging accountability.
LOCK HIM UP: Disgraced former president and infamous corrupt conman Donald Trump has been found guilty of all 34 charges relating to falsifying business records. Trump faces a maximum jail term of 4 years per charge, but the disgraced conman is expected to seek special treatment.
Some major coalition casualties in recent weeks.
Nuclear — nuked
Budget reply — rejected
Borders — botched
Empty-handed on energy, clueless on cost of living and their border bona fides squarely sunk — what exactly have they got left to take to an election?
Peter Dutton's dramatic Twitter outburst is unusual for a mainstream party leader. A telltale sign pressure is mounting on the coalition as an election edges closer amidst polling still stubbornly ruling out a coalition win.
@Coober4533@Ocidibin@AshleyLeahy Animal Justice Party usually gets my top vote (I'm probably rusted on now, since becoming a vegetarian 😅). I'm not defending Labor or the Greens on this. Labor needs to find its spine and Greens need to open doors, not slam them shut.
@Ocidibin@AshleyLeahy I have never mentioned The Greens' position on Palestine before my reply to Ash tonight. Are you possibly confusing me with someone else?
@Ocidibin@AshleyLeahy The world doesn't care about Australian Labor or the Greens. Again, domestic stuff. Net effect is a devastating message to Palestinians and a leg-up to the Israeli regime.
@Ocidibin@AshleyLeahy The net result is global headlines that the Australian Parliament has decisively voted to reject recognition of Palestine. Slam Labor, sure, they deserve strong condemnation, but this designed to fail stunt sent a devastating message to Palestinians.
BACKFIRED: L-NP attempts to wargame immigration have spectacularly backfired today, with shock reports revealing the coalition government released 64 child sex offenders and dozens of other convicted crims into the community.
Laura Tingle has sent her critics packing in a distinguished statement standing her ground on recent observations of troubling racism in political discourse. Tingle's comments outraged shock jocks, whose blustering tirades backfired, with Australians vocally defending Tingle.
