When the book about the death of the Liberal Party of Australia is written, this photo of these grinning clowns will be on the cover. So proud to be so obviously on the wrong side of history. They deserve what’s coming.

What a shock. Taxing the companies which make billions extracting and selling Australia's natural resources raises a lot of money to spend on schools, hospitals, roads and transport.
Even bigger shock - the Murdoch media thinks it's a bad idea 🤭

There's a coal royalty crisis in Queensland, all right. In fact, across Australia.
It's that the greedy, destructive bastards get away with paying bugger-all royalties.
Nobody's putting a gun to the heads of these filthy corporate giants.
Feel free to pack up and leave any time you like.

The AFL may be able to bully weak politicians, but it can't fool the experts or the people.
Tasmania should have had a team years ago.
It should still get one.
It already has two AFL venues.

Well, not to his face or anything. It's just a ranting column in the Murdoch press and, I suspect, an equally ranty video.
Screaming at clouds, and fewer and fewer people can hear him.

#SouthAustralia's Energy Minister sucking up to big gas is sickening.
Instead of SUCKING UP to them, why not STAND UP to them?
Australia has mountains of gas which is not contracted. There's plenty for South Australia.
Don't be fooled by scared, scaremongering politicians.

The absurdity of a man responsible for the systematic murder and starvation of civilians, including children, talking about politicians' reputations is breathtaking.
Fly to Australia and say it to his face, you cowardly ghoul ... so we can put you in a cage where you belong.

But hang on ... I heard Matt Canavan and Sussan Ley on the wireless this morning saying something completely different. Surely they didn't just make it up?

When the SMH/Age get it wrong, they prefer to let you write your own correction.
I suppose this is their way of saying "sorry, we screwed up".

Noel Pearson's heartbreaking assessment of the election result. How Dutton's voice "victory" made him a sitting duck ... and the role played by Jacinta Nampijimpa Price. Powerful.
