I want one journalist to ask Joyce if he believes Australia is being “swamped by Asians” and if he agrees with doing secret deals with the NRA.
Not one journalist will. They’ll all treat this as a clown show.

Just watched The Hack on Stan, about the News of the World hacking scandal, and the Guardian’s efforts to expose it, leading to the Leveson Inquiry. Quite recent history - amazing how Murdoch’s power was barely dented by the whole affair.

No, do not do that because it's illegal. The police & courts will catch up with us. Mostly.

The people who saw this person as a vehicle for opposing the #MeToo movement should feel nothing but shame.

Yep, it won’t bring back the centre! The teals will benefit from this & the ALP will be in power for another 2 election cycles, by then Australia will be approaching 70 to 80% renewable energy, so all this will be for nothing but headaches for the Liberal Party.

I doubt that the next Liberal Prime Minister is even in Parliament yet. They need generational change, a move back to the centre ground of politics and to cast off the knuckle-draggers of the National Party. They are haemorrhaging decent votes to the Teals and their FRNJs to One Nation.
