Do a google search of Liberal MPs (state and federal) who have quit the Party, been expelled or resigned from Parliament just this year. It's a long and varied list. You'd think a journalist would ask Dutton about this. 🤔 #auspol #springst #SApol

Last week the Albanese govt approved its third new coal mine extension in 12 months… while we’re looking at 2023 being the hottest year on record, and our methane emissions being far greater than has been appreciated.

We just *can’t* keep doing this. https://t.co/OKGWj2Jq5E

It's not Robodebt - individuals aren't being tortured by the Federal Government (yet) - but our carbon credits farce is similar in politicians and bureaucrats playing along with a lie.

@DrVicFielding This 'balance' approach seems to require never presenting anything critical of any conservative organisation being quoted. No such restraint with progressives.

Has Bookshelves been living under a rock? It's his party which appears terminal. This is just an inversion of reality and bizarre to boot

@JJKALE2 Political appts of departmental heads is a large part of the problem. They serve the politicians, not the public. Then bully any staff who try to question their actions.

Commissioner Holmes found that a DHS comparison between manually-calculated debts and income-averaging debts ("Robotdebts") that was performed in 2014 yes FOURTEEN had...well...seriously bad results:

The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 399-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 20-to-1. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives at the expense of workers.

Whatever the findings of the Robodebt Royal commission are I will never forget that we had a government that falsely harassed poor people for money whilst having evidence billionaires like Gerry Harvey took millions he wasn’t entitled to - and let him keep it.

If only there was someone in a position to make whistleblowing less catastrophic for the whistleblower. Can anyone think of anybody who might be in a unique position to do this?

Missing records, billions in over-runs, conflicts of interest, and flawed ships. How the Australian Defence Department’s new frigates project is a boondoggle for a British weapons-maker.

Forget fancy toys, subs and F-35s, weakest point in Australia's defence is a few fuel tanks. How many days does it take to bring a country to standstill? @MrRexPatrick investigation #auspol

The world just had its hottest day ever. On the same day, Labor approved a new thermal coal mine.

Climate change is here, and Labor needs to start taking it seriously.
