"your super"

The journalist writing this doesn't have super?

Or are they just writing emotive crap?

Lol. Dan Jervis-Bardy (ex-News Corp) originally slammed the announcement as "a 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 backdown", describing it as "Albanese 𝗰𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 to criticism"

Now his article has been edited (without acknowledgement), tempering his attacks, adding supportive comments from Keating

Sit down, boofhead 🤣

Lol. I thought this was from The Chaser or Betoota... Googled it and found it was a real thing!

I guess they won't end up illegally detained in bed-bug riddled cells, denied food and clean water, and assaulted & humiliated by armed guards....

That's odd. Works fine for me. Good luck 👍🏼

Don Farrell sold his interests in the winery about 3 years ago, to avoid the perception of conflict of interest.

So now we've got a minister who has real world knowledge of his portfolio, and is not personally profiting from it.

Sounds pretty good to me...

“There aren’t any developers out there that go: ‘Oh yeah, that fits with my business plan, I want to make point-zero-something per cent profit,’”

Or looking at it another way - cost neutral 🤷‍♂️

A brilliantly clear and concise account by @australiainstitute.org.au of the disgraceful & dishonest behaviour of ANU leadership.

How TF serial grifter Julie Bishop is still there is beyond me...

A closer look at the ANU books reveals a hard truth about these job cuts

The leadership of the Australian National University (ANU) has been claiming it is in financial crisis, with the former vice-chancellor declaring the institution was living beyond its means.

What a pathetic headline.

They've both just released an underwhelming album?
Donald Trump lashes out at them on social media?
They'll never win another Federal Election?

Hmmmm, I dunno 🤔

Riiiiighhht... ABC News shilling for Trump, again.

Carrington Clarke claims Rubio just happened to be passing a major press conference, clutching a handwritten note for Trump, which the media somehow managed to get a photo of...

Lol. Sussssan Ley demands to know if women & children, who've never been arrested, "are being rearrested, what is going on, why all the cover up?"

Fucking idiot.

Whoah! Sussssan is going there - using Oct 7 to make political attacks on the govt.

Then ironically complains about "people using October 7 for their own political advantage"

I see the NPC have responded. They seem to be quite proud that the decision was made solely by their Board & CEO, without any external pressure.

Not quite the moral high-ground you think it is, Maurice Reilly...

Newly promoted Tom McIlroy (ex-Fin Review) continues his career-long war on Labor governments...

Tom claims "interest in investment property acquisitions is skyrocketing" due to the deposit scheme 🤔

The scheme specifically excludes investment property.

Tom is a Tory idiot.

The clunky process continues. A day after filling in an online form, I get an email saying my request for opting out of betting ads will take effect in a week's time...

Interesting that it says it'll "significantly reduce the number of video advertisements served". That's not a total ban 🤔

Approx 7 hours after Eric Tlozek & ABC News falsely claimed "the mission to breach the naval blockade has failed", the Greek-flagged vessel Mikeno... breached the naval blockade.

The ABC is nothing but an unashamed propaganda outlet for the Israeli regime.

And yet the ABC continues to say "the flotilla has failed"

They first made that false claim just after 9am and have repeated it every hour since, for 6 hours, even while the world watches live streams and track the flotilla's progress.

That's not a mistake. That's deliberate disinformation
