Uniparty collusion? I don't believe it exists. I'm a swing voter so no party preference. Voted for Labor so I'm disappointed Albo's cocked up his response to the travel perks, although I shouldn't be surprised as he benefits and he's twice postponed a review of the rules.

Agree.
I loathe Sky News, haven't watched it in years, however, the story is correct. Which news source do you prefer?
December 13, 2025 at 6:18 PM
Yes. I block them. If they don't want me to comment then I no longer want to see what they're posting.

Cost of living crisis but the taxpayer funded gravy train rolls on. No reform because you, your wife and dog directly benefit from it. When you're plotting cuts for the next budget, cut politicians expenses first. You lot never go without or do it tough. #auspol

Trump's shitting bricks.
They should ask him to submit in writing and in detail what crime or crimes he's committed that he's seeking immunity from.

Be a waste of time me buying an airline ticket to the US then.

Some good news for a change.

Do you know where the graph came from as it only shows 'expenses' Are they just travel expenses or all expenses that could include office admin, communications, flights, cars, family reunion etc...? My understanding is it's the travel/family reunion expenses that many people are unhappy with.

That was embarrassing. 🤣
Glasheen just found out it isn't easy providing information and facts on something that doesn't exist.

Imagine meeting that lot in a dark alley. 😱

It's hard to know with Trump if all these lies are due to him having a neurological condition or whether he's a pathological liar with a personality disorder. Could be all of the above. Personally, I just think he's the same as all other dictators-- an odious twat who hangs around like a bad smell.

It makes a refreshing change to see any political party make legislation or policy based on doing the right thing even though it could be unpopular and possibly cost them votes with a cohort of voters. If any of these kids grudge vote when they're eligible then the LNP is the party for them. 😁

I couldn't care less which political party these self entitled politicians come from. When the government tightens the public purse strings it rarely includes slashing their generous entitlements. Let's see what funding they cut at the next budget, I bet it won't be any of their entitlements.

If Anika Wells, Minister for 'Entitlements' needs to stay in touch with family while on work biz she should try using her taxpayer funded technology as a first resort instead of aiming to use up all the expensive taxpayer funded FIFO family entertainment 'entitlements' at the best sporting events.
December 8, 2025 at 4:02 PM
I'm over this 'Entitled & within the rules & guidelines' crap. With the rising cost of living, the optics of Anika Wells taking her family on taxpayer funded sporting jaunts is shocking. If she misses her family while on work biz then she's either in the wrong portfolio or the wrong job. RESIGN.

Grok is the truth as Elon sees it.

Non clergy work in the Vatican City and sometimes their families live there so I suppose that would account for the fertility rate...unless something else is going on. 🤔🫣

What will be entertaining and so satisfying is how history will remember Trump. Thanks to social media, there's enough material to last until the end of time and his awful family, his enablers and hangers on will be dragged through the millennia and beyond...with him.
