"If"? Has Greg Sheridan not noticed the global chaos since Trump was elected?

See because she's a billionaire, her speech is about "economic reform" hence the journalistic imperative to dedicate a forest's worth of fawning coverage to it.

Can you be a "has-been" if you were barely ever a "been"?

If Gillard and Ardern are "has-beens" then why do you and The Oz still ask John Howard his opinion on anything?

Lol at Greg Sheridan getting criticised on Insiders and then going "uhhh the UN and Greta Thunberg are bad"

Pfft, you've clearly been brainwashed by whatever "Big Super" is...

If we could redirect the energy Andrew Bragg spends trying to destroy superannuation into the national grid we'd reach net zero tomorrow.

Ladies and gentlemen roll up roll up as James Massola presents *drum roll* Schroedinger's Hanson: she is both "not eloquent" but "practiced and polished". Watch in amazement as the media cleans up Hanson's every utterance before your very eyes!

Barnaby Joyce: "Sure I literally had an affair with a staffer and denied it until the pregnancy was obvious for all to see...but how could you think I'm a liar?"

Also, just the grand irony of The Oz regularly quoting with approval a famous socialist...

Credit to Charles Perrottet, he's got a commitment to the ICAC double-act...

Credit to Anita Perrottet. You can't doubt her commitment to the "getting-completely-ruined-by-ICAC" bit.

Barnaby Joyce: "I could write about times I embarrassed myself" You did. It was called "Weatherboard & Iron". And it made it to newsagent bargain bins.

In what universe is being told I can't be physically present to hear Andrew Dillon read names and numbers, any kind of punishment?

Surely that should read Australia-wide "outrage"?

Given Taylor's rhetoric on migration I'd have thought it was the non-white ants he was more worried about.

"The census is a secret government plot to raise your taxes" is certainly...a take

There's a certain irony in a far-right Christian like Jean-Claude Perrottet getting crucified at ICAC...

There should be a medical study into "ICAC-induced-memory-loss" and why it only seems to affect witnesses and not say...anyone else in the room.

In what world does an ICAC witness get a bathroom break when we've all just seen them shit themselves for the last 3 hours?

Forget CFMEU thugs, we need a Royal Commission into those Elizabeth Street seagulls. I gotta pay 20% of my chippies in protection money down there.

Who's going to tell The Oz that "won't someone please think of the crypto-investors and KPMG advisors?!" isn't quite the narrative they think it is...

Good of Morrison to take time out from his busy schedule of cooking curries, supporting the Sharks, and playing the ukelele badly to...write a serious think piece for the AFR about geostrategic policy.

Yes. But taking accountability for the problem doesn't mean the problem goes away. You are now holding the buck. And need to do something about said buck.
