Our prime minister is behaving like an adolescent who is getting in with the wrong crowd. Very worrying and sure to get worse unless he gets pulled up. #auspol
We held a state funeral for a factional powerbroker and invited along a disgraced broadcaster awaiting trial for 44 charges of sexual assault. The Prime Minister delivered a eulogy.
What a time to be alive.

If you wonder whether these comparisons of Trump to Nazis go too far, remember that Hitler was present in the German political scene long before he created the first death camp
And at that point, he was calling Jews “vermin”

The big reason electricity cost so much is gas. Gas is the most expensive form of electricity generation (aside from battery) and yet often determines the price.
Tax gas exports, raise $17bn, help compensate households and also fund the transition to zero emissions

My problem with Barnaby Joyce is that he’s a textbook stereotype of a red-faced white conservative hypocrite; expensive private school education, pretends to be yokel; mouths religious belief, lives with no piety; condemns “promiscuity” in young women, but has affairs.
