We had the vet come to the house to send Oscar off today. He had Degenerative Myelopathy. It’s a cruel condition that meant his back legs progressively stopped working and he couldn’t walk, but his cognition was unaffected. He was the goodest of good boys and I’m going to miss him dreadfully 🌈🐾😢

Dutton can't dodge the spotlight — or his unresolved problems
The Coalition seems to be relying on the disgruntlement of voters with the government over tough times, rather than actively producing serious policies to do anything about it.

Extraordinary people. Thank goodness we still have at least the occasional great journalism on main stream media to bring these stories to light
THREAD To finish 2024, I want to highlight bravery of people who spoke out for our 4 Corners stories this year. By no means an exhaustive list, but blows me away. The ones that really got me are those that didn’t have to do it but chose to because it was the right thing. Give it up for them. 🙌💪❤️

What’ll it be next time? Israel? Welcome to Country? Place names? Flags? Protesters? Australia Day? Every time Dutton comes under any scrutiny, he reaches into his bag of tricks and chucks out a few spicy lines. The media take the bait and he just slinks away. Rinse & repeat. #auspol #peterdutton
