Linda Reynolds a self-centred cvnt, always the victim #auspol
This "woman" is a disgrace. A disgrace as a woman, as a parliamentarian, as a human. I'm seriously considering writing her a scathing assessment of her disgracefulness.

I've been teaching the Canterbury Tales, focusing on social disparity, for years. The parallels between the Dark Ages and NOW are wretched. The powerful didn't give a shit about the suffering of others in 1400, and they give less of one in 2025. Difference is: WE know better.

Weak decaying Trump stands in his two-dollar-shop-decorated palace in a chaotic tanking republic, projecting his failings on others.
Time for Europe and the world to cut him loose and certainly not pay him indulgences for unicorns. He's the enemy. He's a conman.

A poodle is a dog
Christopher Pyne was still a cabinet minister when he met with EY to discuss taking a job with the consultancy. There was no confusion about the purpose of the meeting.

I find it telling our Foreign Minister @senatorwong.bsky.social is prepared to stand on the world stage with a former 'tv personality' who it turns out also happens to be a serial killing psychopath. Apparently without any qualms. I guess being complicit in a GENOCIDE does things to you. #auspol

If the Liberals are so incensed by the parliamentary entitlements rules, why didn’t they change them in the ten years they were in power? Maybe after Bronnie took the chopper ride, or Susssan charged the taxpayer her flights to buy a Gold Coast apartment?

Even more US military assets coming to Australia. More US bases. More US weapons. Celebrating a dominant foreign government sending its military into our harbours and cities and taking multiple footholds here … it’s cringeworthy, tragic and wrong.

Israeli soldiers and land thieves attacking British journalists in the occupied West Bank. They want no witnesses to their constant crimes.
If this is how Israeli soldiers treat Skys chief correspondent & other intl journalists as they report from the occupied West Bank, how do you think they treat Palestinians living under their brutal occupation?
And Wilfred Frost, in your intro you forgot the word 'occupied'.

Annabel Crabb makes a very fair point about gender stereotypes and double standards for politicians.
But like the rest of mainstream media, she ignores the far bigger 'pub test': that the man who was once Deputy PM is on track to lead Australia's nazi-adjacent political party. #auspol
