@PaulBongiorno Maybe the Liberals should think deeply about their preferencing.

Today, Monday 27 July 2026, the AusAlert system will be tested across Australia, with an alert being sent to all compatible mobile devices within NSW at 2pm. Your device will vibrate and make a loud siren-like sound for about 10 seconds before stopping.

Interesting times #Auspolitics An opposition leader grandstanding clutching any issue to get attention and a wannabe opposition leader conversational narcissist who's star recruit the beetrooter finally realised what a pigsty filled with cookers looks like from the inside. 😳

It's been two generations since they have managed the land. There has been many changes, the national park is everyone's heritage, not just a select few. It needs to be protected in perpetuity, all feral animals need to be controlled or eliminated.

[Angus Taylor MP @AngusTaylorMP]

The Snowies and the brumbies have helped shape our national identity.

They’re also an important part of my life. I grew up and worked amongst them.

I stood alongside families, horsemen and people who had travelled to Kiandra just to protest against the NSW Government’s aerial cull.

No bureaucrat will understand how to manage this land more than the locals.

I want to see the locals back in control. I want to see the brumbies protected.

@RonniSalt Interesting she claims not to take policy advice e from Gina, yet she bags out Twiggy. I'd like to know who pays for her wardrobe, have never seen her in the same outfit twice, ever.

Australians have a short memory, "no cuts to the ABC or SBS" 2013, then there was the core promises and non core promises.

[Squizz @SquizzSTK]

Barnaby Joyce might have done a runner from the LNP, but he can't run from his grubby fingers being all over the Inland Rail project (cost blowouts were known when he was in government under Morrison).

Catherine King "(he) should never ever again be allowed near Treasury"

MESSAGE

I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.

Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.

An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.

I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

DALAI LAMA

F#$k Trump, you've had your fun, time to go home.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

The administration of President Donald Trump has warned that news outlets could have their broadcasting licences revoked over critical reporting on the war against Iran, accusing the media of “distortions.”

In my book 'Ashes of the Firefighters' I share stories of resilience, recovery, and the long shadow bushfires leave on lives. https://t.co/P6mRVMpzCx

[NSW RFS @NSWRFS]

The large bush fire burning near the border has generated its own thunderstorm. Lightning from this storm has been detected just west of Khancoban and smoke from the fire is drifting in an easterly direction towards Jindabyne and Cooma. #RFS

The reverse occurs in the country, can't travel long distances, tow machinery and heavy equipment, carry fodder/animals or anything else, constant breakdowns due to rough roads and washouts. Small SUVs, cant handle the work. Dont put extra taxes on farming families.

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

Large SUVs and utes are 82% more likely to kill children in collisions- 44% more likely to kill adult pedestrians or cyclists. They damage our roads and add to air pollution, harming our health.

There’s twice as many utes as tradies in Australia. We need remove the luxury car tax exemption which incentivises people to buy megautes instead of safer, cleaner smaller cars and SUVs.
