I don't believe them for a second. The coalition would flip so fast their supporters would start protesting them as wind turbines. The major parties have sold us out. We need a significant balance of power in the cross bench. #auspol

Commissioner Paul Brereton's departure from the NACC has been met with almost universal relief, but will it change how the NACC operates?

Cohort is a way of lumping everyone together and treating them the same. Just more of the same doll bludger rhetoric with a ribbon.

I sometimes feel I despise this government more than the last, because it pretends to be a Labor government instead of just being honestly uncaring and brutal.

Let’s be clear about what’s happening here. Ordinary people from around the world, including 14 brave Australians, who have seen Israel’s ongoing genocide and atrocities, are on a peaceful, lawful mission to deliver desperately needed aid to Palestinians.

What did he have to offer the Japanese for oil security? When your position is untaxed gas all you can offer is to continue not taxing gas. Had we been taxing all this time we would either have the revenue for supply or 90 days already. Short term thinking, the hallmark of our political system.

I haven't heard a single objection to the Maori performing their cultural rites during ANZAC ceremonies nor were they booed for proudly displaying their heritage. Spin your vague circular word salad arguments about WTC all your like, we see you for what you are. #auspol

Strange that they didn't also call the Maori elements of ANZAC day divisive and attack those. Almost like it is really about reinforcing decades of systemic racism against Aboriginal people. Gina is vested in keeping them treated as less than human else one day they might get their land back.
