This is the Abbott style, too lazy to develop policy, instead attack with negative politics. The right are a cancer on democracy. Get out of the way.

Albanese has sold out all of his values.
What happened to fighting tories and being a progressive repluplican?

There was no point in electing this government, when Albanese is no different to Morrison.

Most dissapointing Prime Minister ever.

So a Muslim man’s ute covered in Palestine flags is torched, no media outrage, no interview with Islamophobia envoy, and not interview with Prime Minister. Had this been a Jewish man, imagine the hysteria! #auspol

Visiting Thredbo for a few days, the amount of feral deer & rabbits is astonishing.
Time the NSW NPWS closed the town for a week and destroyed these destructive ferals.

Both Voss & Brad Scott have players leaving the their clubs. They’re both unable to build teams that play for each other. I think Essendon & Carlton should move their coaches on. #AFL
