@EVERALDATLARGE Preferential voting is one of the strengths of the system.
However, banning How To Vote cards on polling day and at polling booths is a very good and easy idea
@EVERALDATLARGE The Commonwealth Bank is one of the worst companies in Australia that I have to deal with. They have the most unethical approach to customers that I know.
No, Donald, this was not a case "against the United States of America and all it stands for." It was a case against you. And a jury of your peers found you liable for rape and defamation. You lost. Again.
Very emotional moment from the interview with Zelenskyy. You should watch this.
JOURNALIST: Do you miss being an actor?
ZELENSKYY:?I miss being a good father.
JOURNALIST: When your children were little, what did you tell them the most? What was the thing that you told them the most when they were small?
ZELENSKYY: I love you.
JOURNALIST: And what do you tell them now that they're older?
ZELENSKYY: Oh, I miss you.
JOURNALIST: When was the last time you cried?
ZELENSKYY: I will try to do it after our interview. No, I mean this, between us. I'm a normal man and then there are a lot of different moments, between us, almost each day, a lot of losses on the battlefield and civilians, and there are absolutely crazy attacks on our people.
And I'm just, it's… I mean, It's very difficult really, when I give orders (medals). I said about it. It's always difficult for me when I give orders (medals) to the mothers and fathers, who lost their children. In such moments, really, I often cry.
JOURNALIST: Are you a hero?
ZELENSKYY: No.
JOURNALIST: So who is your hero?
ZELENSKYY:?My hero? My children, my army, our army, and Ukrainian people. So I'm a part… I'm also a Ukrainian, so I'm a part of our nation. But now our nation, I think, that our nation is absolutely heroic.
ZELENSKYY: War will stop if Russia decides to stop. I understand what Russians and Americans discussed in Anchorage. Putin's lying to Trump. It's a mistake to negotiate about Ukraine without Ukraine, especially for U.S. We're ready to stop the war, but won't leave our territory.
Invasive species are doing huge damage to our continent's incredible biodiversity. Cats alone kill over two billion reptiles, birds and mammals per year. Add in foxes, cane toads, carp and other invasives, and native species are under massive pressure.
We have the resources and tools to protect native species - all that's missing is political will and investment.

Poll that shows #OneNation leading both #ALP#LNP is accurate. Most Australians are unhappy with politics & politicians. It is wake up call to entire Parliament to get with it.
Student debt is one of the darkest elements of Australian life. Will be interested to learn what young people say at your June conference @DavidPocock.
History recalls @JuliaGillard faced two Opposition Leaders at same time. Tony Abbott & Kevin Rudd. Handled them splendidly until own team knifed her. Her #misogyny speech was one of greatest ever delivered in #Parliament. Male politicians could not cope with female leader.
❗️First Ukrainian guided aerial bomb is ready for combat use - Defense Minister Fedorov.
Its development took 17 months. This bomb has been created for the realities of modern warfare. It's not a copy of Soviet or Western developments, but a unique product by Ukrainian engineers.
Ukraine is creating our own high-tech weapons, @FedorovMykhailo noted.
Choosing Budget day, when almost all federal political journalists are literally locked in rooms without their phones or internet access, to release key reports into gambling & aged care wait times is not the level of transparency our community expects and deserves from government.
This is an age-old political tactic to “take out the trash” - releasing disappointing information under the cover of bigger news when people are distracted - needs to be called out.

Breaching BetStop rules more than 500 times and not facing a single dollar in fines shows how completely ineffective ACMA is as a gambling regulator and how hopeless our regulatory framework is.
Right now the consequences for gambling companies are minimal while the harm to people is real.

Allegations that someone was effectively told they had to place a bet to withdraw their own money, instead of being told they could use BetStop and get a refund are, if true, completely unacceptable.
We know the response to the landmark multi-partisan Murphy review the govt will table tomorrow is completely inadequate and fails to address the key sources of gambling advertising harm.
@ANZ_AU once again demonstrates it's total failure of customer support. Apparently you can only have urgent problems between 8 and 8, otherwise by ANZ definition, it's not urgent. Presumably ANZ will reimburse $'000 000 000 of my money stolen when outside their "urgent" hours.
Jeering and heckling at an Anzac Day service scrapes the depths of the gutter. It is disgusting, grossly offensive, beneath contempt, an insult to the living and the dead.
Don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split you, Mitch McConnell! Your legacy will be allowing Trump 1.0 and 2.0 to destroy our country, Republic, democracy, constitution and freedoms. 😡
