Every time a headline or story starts with, or is based on, these three words “Donald Trump says” you realise you have wasted a short, but irreplaceable, moment of your life reading it.

During years of scandals, including an $800,000 office renovation and hundreds of thousands in travel expenses, Bishop always had an answer ready.

I have seen how some organisations focus on making profit at every possible juncture at the expense of service delivery.They operate with billable hours which shortens sessions so that notes can be done in paid time.They employ graduates or registrars and charge as if they were experienced workers.

I’m not even certain this post occurred because of cognitive decline. I think he has always behaved like this when things don’t go his way. Just ask those who surrounded him in his first term about his regular rage-filled episodes and behaviour.

During an illegal war, Albanese and Wong treat us like idiots
Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong obsessively talk about international law, but go silent when Israel and the US breach it. It's part of a broader picture of refusal to be honest with Australians.

Incredible how much the media has spent talking about hate speech laws and yet none of the thousands of articles on Hanson mention she recently was found by a federal court of breaching hate speech laws.

Even when journalists reference Hanson’s past comments on Muslims, they reach back to 2016. Why not just mention the case from 2025, that is currently in front of the High Court? Surely the entire media industry isn’t unaware of the case? So what’s the reason?

Turnbull says Liberal Party needs to 'stop living in a right-wing populist bubble' | ABC NEWS
Malcolm Turnbull tells David Speers, Patricia Karvelas and Melissa Clarke that the Liberal Party needs to move back to the centre and Angus Taylor is not the answer to the party’s problems.

It is very annoying how people still suggest that Trump operates strategically. He does not have the temperament to do so nor the intelligence. He just bullies and threatens with no regard for consequences and then will retreat if enough stand up to him.
