After decades working independently with Govts & Corporate’s retired to run family farm. RW corruption & ineptitude wouldn’t thrive if we had a balanced independent media. Misogyny is piss weak & live export is a shit way to treat stock

clip of Sarah Ferguson asking Charlton (ALP backbencher) when he knew what about Dutton. Speers calls the Dutton vast wealth story Labor “dirt unit” (which Massola has rejected but anyhoot) and this is #Insiders so we can talk about how the sausage is made chuckles Speers uncertainly #Insiders

has Labor done enough for Ukraine [paraphrased]? Paterson is concerned about delayed delivery of tanks. He knows not of requests for troops. Recall this guy is the HOME affairs coalition spokesman #Insiders

In Australia, the wealthy also control our mainstream news media, to promote their own business interests. Australians need to boycott Seven (Stokes), Nine, and NewsCorp (Murdoch). #auspol #journalism #media

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Remember? ASIO intervened to prevent Chinese billionaire Huang Xiangmo's Australian citizenship bid after Immigration Minister Dutton had a private meeting with him in 2016. Dutton had already approved a private Australian citizenship ceremony for Huang's wife & children. 🤔 #auspol #AusVotes2025

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

The Senate has approved Labor’s change to the childcare subsidy. This bill was pushed thru Senate by Labor with the support of the Greens. All parents will b able to access a minimum of 3 subsidised days. The coalition voted against it. They will take this away from parents if they win election.

Apart from fabricating lies about Dreyfus that are left unchecked & unchallenged by MSM.. Dutton appears to hve an epic absence of empathy & humanity. He’s using Dreyfus’ absence from the House when Dreyfus’ wife passed away from cancer as a weapon. How fkn low can Dutton go to obtain power?

Why are the Nats intent on hiding Barnaby by barring him from making political trips outside his seat in the lead up to the election? It’s the equivalent of Dutton pushing his dirty laundry under the bed so his room looks tidy. If they are that focused on hiding things - there are things to hide

Niki Savva is absolutely on the money with her scathing assessment of Dutton & his many failings. What makes this piece even more credible is that Savva is a Lib - & she has more courage of conviction & competence than any of the rancid rabble that passes for journalism in this country right now.
