With her eye-watering flight costs, Wells has handed her critics the perfect weapon
It’s the simple scandals – the ones voters can explain to each other in a supermarket queue – that bring ministers undone.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

First - it seems some kind of monitoring and/or database is being kept on community independent volunteers - and then there's the refusal to serve a constituent based on their political views.

Perhaps Barnaby has noted that Pauline Hanson has the worst attendance record in the Senate, and he thinks that he can emulate her record.
Remember we’re still waiting for the $675,000 drought invoice report he was paid for. It never arrived…
