Whichever media just parrot the nonsense that the federal Opposition has ‘shadow ministers’ for things that are not ministries, instead of just saying ‘spokeswoman’ or ‘Liberal/National MP’ then it will be clear which producers & reporters are just relay microphones for Press Releases.

If you aren't watching Dutton echo Trumps playbook, word for word and you think we're immune to the same result at our next election, I have a bridge to sell you.

The ALP better re think those preferences to the LNP over the Greens.

Oh look: Trump does something there and Dutton says it here.

"Peter Dutton has warned young men “have had enough” of being painted as ogres and being passed over for promotion because of the rise of affirmative action policies that demand more women are promoted"

AUKUS will cost $375 billion.

That is a crazy amount of money. If the Govt. was to pay $1 million every day, it would take over 1000 years to get $375 billion.

Think of all the things that need $1 million: your local school or hospital. The government decided to spend it on nuclear subs instead.
