If the ABC is going to give softball interviews to "former Home Affairs secretary" Mike Pezzullo, they should really disclose to readers that he was sacked from that job for 14 breaches of the Code of Conduct

So the Dural caravan happened 10 days ago where Police were investigating.
Someone has leaked the investigation to Dutton who then gave that info to NewsCorp.
Is this all correct?
If so - it’s a dead cat to distract from positive economic news 🤔🤔 #auspol

Remember when the Murdoch serfs and toadies were howling that Pat Cummins was too “woke” to be Australia’s test cricket captain ?

Yup. I once met the man who ran the marketing campaign against the mining tax, who boasted that for $21 million expenditure, the mining industry had been spared tens of billions, HUNDREDS of billions of dollars of paying their dues to the people of Australia.

I have no issues with our PM earning $608K per annum. However, departmental secretaries (who are drawn from the public service ranks, not market competed) earning circa $1M is an obscenity!👇Look to their US equivalents👇. #ForServiceNotProfit! #auspol

The Australian Government gives most of the gas exported from Australia by foreign-owned gas corporations for free.
They pay no royalties.
The gas industry is ripping Australians off, and our governments are letting them.

Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander flags are both official flags of Australia under Flags Act 1953. Dutton likes to punch down, exploit fear & it’s him being divisive once more. Shame on him. From walking out on apology to Stolen Generation to dooming the voice, not fit to lead.

So we already have a well paid & resourced Special Envoy to combat anti-semitism and now a special AFP Task Force … for an incident depicted as “terrorism” before any investigation reports evidence. OTT in my opinion.
