Hegseth should fvck off back to Fox and our PM is right, we decide how much we spend on our military, not Trump. Hegseth is a dangerous moron #auspol

It absolutely has a mandate for the promises it made - anything after that is a political judgement call. The real issue is who will stand in the way and the constraints on reform from decades of budget rigging by Tories? Labor governs in reality - the rest of us post in a fantasy #auspol

The media frenzy over Biden's mental condition is a distraction from what they should be covering, Trumps destruction of America and the world order for personal gain. Time is almost up for the media to show some guts and accurate reporting on Trump's admin. #auspol

Poor Gina. Is there anyone remaining on the right of politics that pays her any attention? I mean, apart from JNP, but she is in the Senate and pretty much isolated from the powerful now that Dutts has gone and her turn as a convenient political wedge has passed. #auspol

The Coalition learned nothing. Once more we are forced to listen to the ad nauseum repeat of analysis on why they lost the election. Just replay the audio and videos from 2022, because we’ve heard it all before. Voter demographics have changed, the Coalition is stuck in 1996. Bless #audpol

LOL Dutton saying a vote for the Greens is a vote for Anthony Albanese. Let’s remind him a vote for PHON is a vote for the Coalition. A vote for Pauline Hansen and Malcolm Roberts, both far right and overtly racist, are votes for Peter Dutton #auspol

Dutton condemns booing of welcome to country at ANZAC Day ceremonies today. Dutton condemns Voice referendum as a waste of money. Dutton won't stand in front of the ATSI flags for announcements. Dutton will withdraw funding for Welcome to Country if elected. Dutton cause/effect. #auspol

So, the US are in talks with Ukraine and if there is no progress with the talks the US will walk away. How is AUKUS in our best interests when it is glaringly obvious the incompetent, under qualified US administration would throw us under a bus if push came to shove. #auspol

Last night was the second time in this campaign that Dutton admitted to being wrong, + the second time this year that he publicly overreacted and overreached on matters of national security before being properly briefed. An ex cop and a politician of over 20 years should know and do better #auspol

The Coalition is throwing money at the housing crisis without addressing the core issues that keep young people out of the market, supply and affordability. Tax deductions on mortgage payments are useless if you can't find an affordable house. #auspol

The Govt provide international students scholarships to study in Australia, for e.g. Australia Awards and the New Colombo Plan. Awardees need visas. Dutton wants to cut student visas. Does this mean he is planning on cutting the aid budget? #auspol

Tax reform in Australia. Start with CGT. Grandfather up to 5 investment properties at existing CGT discount, remove CGT discount on all properties over the 5 property limit and reduce marginal tax payable for CGT by 5%-10% (for e.g.). Thoughts? #auspol

Is it just me, or does the framing of questions on the new ABC voxpop on election issues come across as covert support for the coalition? In the name of highlighting election issues the ABC seems to be undermining Labor Perhaps I'm too sensitive to the prospect of a Dutton PM. #auspol
