If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

The Murdochs pay no tax in Australia & interfere in our politics.They indulged Trump’s Big Lie about not losing the election, thereby injuring the spirit of democracies around the world, perhaps terminally. They have just been judged to have run a criminal enterprise at the London Sun. Go Grace!

It seems to me that the Prime Minister is being bullied - by the media, the Opposition, community groups and vested interests. It is time for this to stop! We are being governed by bullying groups, and this is divisive!

Netanyahu can hardly say the government is not supporting Israel! They have never uttered an even slight criticism of the genocide being carried out. And Albanese surely can’t expect his ‘opinion’ to be accepted, surely the fire is being investigated by the police.

It seems incongruous that the media are spruiking how many billions Australians will spend on these so-called black friday sales, whilst at the same time claiming we have a cost of living crisis. Which is it?

What an opportunity lost for Australia with Bill Shorten. He showed vision and commitment to people. Passionate about workers, the NDIS and his constituents.

How are we finding the exodus over here?? I'm still needing to check the other site for work and to hear some truth out of Palestine, but in terms of hanging and chatting, this place has quickly become my subconscious first choice (on account of the lack of aggressive fuckos).

Surely small business would not discourage cash as when there is a power outage electronic means cannot be used. This has happened a couple of times when I have been in a shop and cash has been appreciated.
