@sallymcmanus @CFMEU NSW Libs hate the democratic process so, if that includes CFMEU and local governments, then Labor has a chance of a good showing in NSW.

I thought Musk would favour incentives to buy EVs, what gives?

@AmberElectricAU I worked for Shell but was horrified about what they were doing in Nigeria to extract oil.

@KKeneally Kristina Keneally should throw hat into the ring for the 2022 election. She'd be a good Prime Minister.

@The_ChinaStory @wentisung I figure CCP's preference is that she's a clone of Hong Kong's Chief Administrator Carrie Lam. Isn't that taking the 'One Country, Two Systems' policy too far? https://t.co/QZ0IYcrcHx

@The_ChinaStory @wentisung I'm not yet advocating self-determination, but much depends on the stance taken by Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-won. Previous Presidents have waxed and waned between USA and Beijing - what do you think?

@The_ChinaStory Ignorance would be the only reason to regard Chinese language and culture as a threat to Australian national identity.

@danielhurstbne @AmyRemeikis In a single word, 'logistics'. Any Army logistician can tell you what it entails. You saw it during NT Intervention and GEN Peter Cosgrove's venture into E. Timor. A logistician worked with me, and he was a gem. #Leroy

@murpharoo @danielhurstbne @AlboMP @InsidersABC Content of policies is rarely a problem but, Houston, we have a delivery problem. Semantics of feather-bedding, boon-doggling, etc are too complex; why not call corruption corruption? At least I know what greasing a politician's palms is all about.

@hughriminton Business continuity shouldn't be dismissed. OTOH customers call the shots. If the retailer has good customer communication, as she should with today's technology, they can weather a closure.

@gp_warrior In 2018 from their northern hemisphere haven, Rainbow Warrior tackled the Norwegian-led drillers in the Great Australian Bight. https://t.co/APYMmuywU4 Allies including Greenpeace are commended for turning the Norwegian fleet around, and they won't be back to the Bight.

@The_ChinaStory We were at TianAnMen Square on that very day, and can vouch that Bob drove by - well, with his driver. Moments like this are the thing of legends, forever embedded in our family folklore.

@murpharoo Pork-barrelling (aka electoral process corruption) can be tackled. In 2019, the Liberal's candidate for Mayo in SA ran roughshod over the current Independent MP, promising a $200m roads project that is still vaporware. That's big pork-barrelling.
