More than 90 Tasmanians who have been medically cleared to leave hospital are not able to because they are waiting for an aged care place or NDIS support. Premier Jeremy Rockliff says it's "not good enough" and is calling on the federal government to increase hospital funding.

The far-right has embraced Zionism for its own supremacist reasons, and Zionists have accepted the applause — until, inevitably, those same extremists turn on Jews, as they do on every minority. The far-right always eats its allies. #auspol #antisemtism

The Lib’s chaos dominated #Insiders today. Speers admitted the landmark security treaty Australia’s signed with Indonesia has been drowned out by coverage of this mayhem. So what did Speers begin his interview with Penny Wong with? What did the panel focus on? The Libs www.abc.net.au/asia/indones...

I won’t miss the Liberal Party. It was always odd having a conservative party called a liberal party, especially for international observers. It’s for the best that they self-implode and pass into history.
