Interesting that Peter Dutton’s version of complying with MP’s financial register declarations includes:
Inaccurate reports
Tardiness in reporting
Incomplete reports
And using family trusts to stash the other stuff.

Many are guilty of politicising antisemitism. Dutton is the master
The opposition leader has gotten up every day since October 2023 and worked hard, and very successfully, to politicise antisemitism.

What makes this piece even more credible is that Savva is a Lib - & she has more courage of conviction & competence than any of the rancid rabble that passes for journalism in this country right now.

This is excellent from Laura Tingle. With Dutton campaigning for PM, the media needs to lift its game and smash him on his ever elusive answers to questions on his policies.

Peter Dutton’s line that having a strong public sector is about “pleasing the unions” is just wrong. It is about providing decent services to Australians, something he clearly doesn’t care about. He wants to return to mass outsourcing to their favourite consultants #insiders

In the US, we're seeing the shocking results of hard right govts. They cut back/abandon essential services, disdain the disadvantaged, disparage experts, boost inequality & bolster their own wealth.
