I feel so ashamed as a proud Greek Australian to see Greeks booing a Welcome To Country last night. Shame on us. The First Nations community of Melbourne deserves a formal apology for the behaviour of Greek Australians last night. #australiacup #Hellas #SouthMelbourne #MelbourneVictory

It’s quite extraordinary Angus Taylor was critical of Mike Pezzullo being stripped of his Order of Australia. Perhaps Angus hasn’t read Lynelle Briggs’ report into his conduct that I obtained under #FOI … or he lacks judgement. #insiders #auspol

This shows just how extreme the US is. Livestreaming an execution by firing squad is the behaviour of a bloodthirsty dictator. Yet the Albanese Government is tying us closer and closer to the Trump regime.

This is rare: a mainstream journo - an ex-Murdoch one at that - acknowledging that "inequality and concentrated wealth" may be an issue for voters. Instead of the usual 'cost-of-living crisis' euphemism. If Shoebridge is having that impact already, it's a useful start to his leadership. #auspol
