Tea cosy collector. Bowler. I enjoy a nice shandy after a tough round of scrabble. Hardcore feminist. Walking stick leans left.

@jojo49547318 @newsinhughes It was rude not to have a First Nations speaker. That would have solved the problem, dear. And given the topic, it was a significant omission, hence the controversy!

@jojo49547318 @newsinhughes And yet if Jenny Ware just responded by listening with respect, she wouldn’t look so bad at all. She might have asked some questions focused on the Voice and wrapped it all up nicely. But that would require some empathy, nuance and the ability to think on her feet.

Jenny Ware Liberal MP presents the ultimate argument FOR The Voice to Parliament.

[Hughes News @newsinhughes]

“Can we please hear from a First Nations person?” “We don’t have the time.” - Jenny Ware MP

[💧 Deb Cansdell 🌱 @DebCansdell]

@newsinhughes Unbelievable! Cringeworthy.
Two white men bicker over the Voice for 2 excruciating hours.
An Aboriginal man gets up to speak
And told no time to hear his voice.

“Can we please hear from a First Nations person?” “We don’t have the time.” - Jenny Ware MP

BREAKING: Hughes MP Jenny Ware cuts live feed when an Aboriginal man gets up to speak at her “community consultation” on the Voice, after two hours of white men talking (Abbott and Hildebrand) #VoiceToParliament

Here's a list of issues currently being dealt with in Parliament that will now not be dealt with because a 96-year-old in a Scottish castle just died. If this isn't grounds for a Republic I don't know what is.

- Aged care (ensuring nurses on-site)
- Emergency & disaster response

Gonna be impossible to say the words King Charles without adding the word Spaniel on the end I’m afraid

My new MP voted against the Climate Bill today. (Predictably.)

From spruiking nuclear to voting against climate legislation, in one week.

So far, so Craig Kelly.

[Ethel @saysethel]

@DebCansdell Nothing from Ware. Where is she? How long does it take to locate an office?

[Georgia Steele @steele4hughes]

Ladies, don’t you just pine for the days when the parliament was chock full of merit selections, like Craig Kelly and George Christensen?

I wonder how many political journalists will read John Hewson's words and actually reflect on their failure?

I suspect none.

Fiji is not anyone’s backyard — we are a part of a Pacific family. And our greatest concern isn’t geopolitics — it’s climate change.

In that spirit, I had a wonderful meeting with Foreign Minister @SenatorWong to strengthen our Vuvale Partnership with Australia.

Days later, this election keeps on giving. It’s just occurred to me that the odious Tudge no longer has anything to do with our kids’ education.

The best political part of this week was #PennyWong speaking from Fiji. When did we last seen a woman speaking by herself without a PM defecting any questions to himself. A well articulated, knowledgeable, thoughtful woman. Felt relieved and more hopeful for our future
