“Bitter Teals,” writes Josh Frydenberg, before opening a filing cabinet labelled GRIEVANCES 2010–2022. It takes courage to revisit your greatest political defeat and ask the difficult question: what was wrong with everybody else?

I love that students here in #Canberra are doing this and basically shouting out a massive metaphorical "f..k you!" to Segal at the same time. It's also great that they're still allowed to do this here. Wouldn't happen in NSW me thinks. Segal will go balistic if she sees this!

Thanks for this.After hearing Hegseth saying a public execution by firing squad to be made public I need all the hope I can get.It reduced me to more tears. Will Marles support this obvious fascist intimidation tactic to warn its citizens what could happen to them? 😔

Just a reminder that in Victoria the Country Road Board, the CRB as we all knew it was outsourced by Jeff Kennett in the 1990's. There lies the problem.

The Zionist lobby requested that their own militia, beyond with state funded weaponry. This move by the New South Wales government falls short of their commands, so expect a false flag event to leverage the government to provide the Zionist lobby with their desire.

Home in 6 years. Long history of violent crime. Judges don’t take some crimes seriously enough. Abduction and rape of a child, should be a multiple decades sentence, not one decade. #AusPol

Spot on. I can remember the excitement of election night when Scotty’s bunch of criminals was being mauled and a Labor Government would be coming in. TBH, that excitement almost vanished on day 1 when Albanese trotted off to pay his obeyance to Murdoch. A real sign of things to come.
