Has been thus since Hawke.

The commentariat allowed Howard & Costello to fetishise the budget, and now it’s the ‘common sense’ measure of economic management. The awful fact is, a healthy economy needs permanent deficits. Sigh.

Presumably, inflating an enormous bubble is ‘real work’ for Clammy Sammy.

Exactly! Why would these cretins think a sporting event in Australia should be preceded by ANY anthem, much less the AMERICAN anthem?

Maybe he should receive a Robodebt Notice to pay it back???

Recognising Palestine when Gaza has essentially been levelled? Still shipping arms to the terror regime. Still calling to exclude Hamas but not to exclude Netanyahu. Still unable to say #genocide. Performative irrelevance.

Greg Jerico: He’s right on the money re Woodside WA NW shelf approval.

There is nothing in it for Australua at all. Zero. Zilch.

The cost of this approval is extraordinary.

You have to have rocks in your head.

If batteries are so good Chris why is gas at the heart of of ALP's energy policy, as approval of the massive Woodside "carbon bomb" out to 2070 shows? You could have gone with cheap renewables but chose fossil-fuels (& the donations) instead, and all Australians are now paying the price ... #auspol

Woodside.

You're detonating a carbon bomb & defacing the oldest human art on the planet, a continuously updated record stretching back 50,000 years.

You can't polish this turd. You can't even roll it in glitter.
