BREAKING: we’ve reached a new deal with the states and territories to provide more funding for public hospitals.
This combined with our urgent care clinics and Medicare bulk billing incentives will help take pressure off emergency departments in local communities.

The point isn't that the authorities are dragging their feet, it's that for once they're saying hang on let's do this carefully, by contrast with the instant moral panic that always attends anything with a whiff of Islamic extremism or contrary to the vested interests of the politically powerful.

Marque will be open for business on 26 January. We do not think it’s a good date for our national day because what it marks is the beginning of the destruction of an entire population and ancient culture. We would like our country to grow up and choose a kinder day.

Jane Norman misrepresents the Prime Minister yet again, claiming he was "revelling" in Sussan Ley's leadership dilemmas. Baseless.
In fact Mr Albanese pointed out the media have been giving Ms Ley a hard time since she was elected as the first female Leader.
Not aired of course.
ABC shite. #AusPol

Since we're talking about One Nation and their history of providing us with some truly exceptional candidates, this is from the PHON candidate for Macalister in the 2017 State election. One of the top ten twitter exchanges of all time.

Today. It isn't at all clear how things will play. Josh Lees, interviewed last night on a podcast said "expect hundreds of police ... and we'll see what happens". I've now included swimming goggles in my kit for the pepper spray. Don't forget a face mask, same reason. Thanks Minns.

If Josh Frydenberg wants to talk about bad appointments for Royal Commissioner, he should start with his party’s appointment of Dyson Heydon, who was later found to have sexually harassed multiple women.
I don’t recall Josh raising any objections?
