www.theage.com.au/politics/vic... Chip Le Grande's constant attacks on the ALP, particularly state, are increasingly unhinged. He's incapable of writing without bias. I expect better from the leader of the state politics reporting team. Comments on this story are very telling. #Auspol #SpringSt

The angry moment that could define Jacinta Allan’s response to the fire disaster
If we think of voter grievance as fuel on the forest floor, there is a point in any long-term government where the build-up reaches combustive levels.

Sloppy from The Age. This is The Spotted Cat in New Orleans NOT The Night Cat in Fitzroy that they are referencing. Does anyone check anything anymore?

I almost feel sorry for Susssan Ley after that interview. Shredded by Sarah Ferguson and rightly so. Utterly unable to articulate the LNP ‘policy’. #ABC730

Alright so criticising a woman for, I dunno, pretending to not know her husband donated $50k to a far right organisation is misogynistic. Bit like criticising Israel is anti-semitic. Nice one Labor government.

Pretty sure the Greens celebrated Fatima Payman defecting from the ALP without calling on her to resign. The Greens once again showing their double standards. #auspol www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Greens call on defector to do ‘honourable thing’ and resign
The comment is an escalation of the party’s criticism of its former senator, Dorinda Cox, who it had previously wished well.

🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨 Julia Banks telling it like it is
Screen shot of newspaper article by Julia Banks on Australia’s Liberal party women problem. ‘As Ley takes up the leadership, she has vowed to lead from the “sensible centre”. But how exactly? The Liberals came out of this election beholden to the National party and remain underpinned by a Trumpian support base. They went into this election preferencing One Nation and Family First in electorates across the country – parties with longstanding positions against equality, abortion, LGBTQI+ rights, multiculturalism and renewable energy. There does not appear to be anything remotely “sensible” or “centrist” left in that party room, especially when it comes to the issue of women’

This is a great read from Amy Remeikis. "Being the better option compared to Angus Taylor is little more than a participation prize." Sending some burn cream to Sussan. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Sussan Ley is yet to make her mark in 24 years in politics
Sussan Ley the politician has shown she’ll offer up whatever helps her own survival.  That’s one way to ensure she’s not holding it for long.
