"Knowing Tom Homan, he would not accept a job where he was sitting on an island with no influence or authority. He just wouldn't take it. And the fact that he was one of the president's first appointees will be noted by people at the other agencies that deal with immigration, and they will note that they have to be responsive to the message that is coming from the White House regarding immigration, if they want to keep their jobs." "Tom wants to get something done. He's not going to be content with going on Fox News to talk about the border. He's going to be banging some heads together if he has to."

THE AUSTRALIAN = NATION > POLITICS Victorian Liberal director's jokes about women's council and MP 'with dementia' in leaked text messages Liberal Party tensions have exploded after leaked messages revealed the Victorian state director disparaged women leaders, prompting calls for his resignation I READ THE TEXTS Anthony Galloway 3 min read September 10, 2025 - 5:58PM | Stuart Smith Robbie Mitten asleep in the chamber Stuart Smith Ben Zerbe Did they make any decisions today They passed it unanimously after two men told them they had to 1004 Here's Bev with demes Victorian Liberal state director Stuart Smith joked about women, and an MP 'with dementia', in leaked text messages. Artwork: Frank Ling Victorian Liberal state director Stuart Smith has been caught making disparaging remarks about the party's women's council and mocking an MP "with dementia", threatening to deepen rifts within the fractured state division. The Australian has obtained leaked WhatsApp messages from a head office staff group chat, in which senior operatives ridiculed the Liberal Women's Council — the peak body representing women in the Victorian division - and 76-year-old state MP Bev McArthur. The chair of the women's council late on Wednesday called for Mr Smith's resignation or removal, saying his position was untenable. The revelations come ahead of a critical state council meeting this weekend, where the party remains gripped by a bitter legal battle over whether former leader John Pesutto should be granted access to party funds to cover a $2.3m defamation payout owed to colleague Moira Deeming. In one exchange on December 3 last year, staffer Ben Zerbe asked Mr Smith whether the women's council had reached any resolutions during a meeting. "They passed it unanimously after two men told them they had to," Mr Smith replied. "Well that's grim," Mr Zerbe responded, while another staff member, Fiona Buchanan, added: "But painfully accurate. Mr Smith then posted a photo of a martini with the caption: "F U LWCV", an abbreviation for the women's council The leaked messages also show the staff deriding Ms McArthur, after she met with Mr Smith in the office in December last year. "Mondays are already bad. If Stuart Smith meets Bev every Monday — I'll be WFH," Mr Zerbe wrote on December 29. When another staffer asked for a photo of Ms McArthur "asleep in the chamber", Mr Smith shared a video of what appeared to be her waving a flag, commenting: "Here's Bev with dementia." Ms McArthur said she was "disappointed by these offensive remarks about women, but I will not be distracted from standing up for rural and regional Victorians who are being unfairly taxed and ignored by Labor". "I trust the state director will reflect on this incident, as there is no place for such comments in the Liberal Party," she said. Chair of the party's women's council, Jacquie Blackwell, called on Mr Smith to resign, and if not, for state president Philip Davis to take action. "I do think the state president should take action, I think the state director's position is untenable. We cannot accept this behaviour because what message are we sending to women, to young people in particular? The leaks will further inflame tensions inside the troubled division, which has been struggling to land a blow on Premier Jacinta Allan's government despite mounting budget blowouts and a lagging economy. The Victorian division will assemble on Saturday and Sunday for the annual state council, where the position of president will be up for re-electoon. The incumbent president Philip Davis and his immediate predecessor Greg Mirabella are the two candidates. State Opposition Leader Brad Battin and federal deputy leader Ted O'Brien will also address the council on Saturday. A draft agenda for the state council includes 62 motions proposed by party members including a call to scrap net zero targets, diversity quotas and a push for a regulated cannabis market. Any motions passed at the state council are not binding on the parliamentary Victorian Liberal Party. The council will be held as an ongoing legal dispute plays out between a member of the administrative committee, Colleen Harkin, and the wider party over the loan to Mr Pesutto. The loan covers the $2.3m in legal costs owed to Deeming after the Federal Court found in December last year that he defamed the upper house MP by falsely implying she sympathised with neo-Nazis and white supremacists. The payments were made to ensure Pesutto avoided bankruptcy and a byelection in his seat, after he made the comments when he was Victorian Liberal leader. A mediation ordered by the Supreme Court was scheduled to take place by Friday after the Harkin-led group launched a legal application to stop the loan. However, it is understood the mediation is unlikely to go ahead before the state council.

Yeah “optical surveillance” sucks hard when you’ve been bullied to near death by an employer that encouraged a convicted child sex offender to predate upon a vulnerable victim-survivor of CSA.

Maybe icare should focus on investigating employers that injure workers due to gross negligence? #auspol

theguardian.com 20m ago 08.32 AEST Joe Hinchliffe Queensland Greens founder mulling legal options after official expulsion from party The founder of the Queensland Greens is considering both his legal and political options after being officially expelled from the party over what it considers his pursuit of speech harmful to trans people. The decision to terminate Drew Hutton's life membership of the Greens was upheld by delegates of the state branches on Sunday, who voted to back the findings of the party's Constitution and Arbitration Committee's (CAC) and reject Hutton's appeal that sought to reframe the issue as one of free speech. Queensland Greens convener Gemmia Burden said in a statement: •I This decision reflects the Greens' position as endorsed by its membership - that trans rights are non-negotiable human rights, a position publicly reaffirmed in 2022. No one should be subjected to violence or hate speech on the basis of their gender, nor their race, sexual identity, ethnicity, or religion. It is disheartening to see that Mr Hutton has prioritised his perceived right to free speech over the safety of others. @ Drew Hutton founded the Queensland Greens. Photograph: Krystle Wright/The Guardian 10m ago 08.42 AEST Joe Hinchliffe Hutton also considering 'political options' Hutton issued his own statement declaring that the "Greens have been taken over by a cult": • They have abandoned the historic mission I believed they had when I founded the party, a mission to help bring about an ecologically sustainable world. Like all cults they are deeply authoritarian and don't believe in freedom of speech. They should change the name of the party from the Greens to the Extreme Transgender Party. Hutton told the Guardian he was seeking legal opinion and also considering "political options".

As a victim-survivor of the Catholic hate cult Opus Dei, it is a sickening sight when the PM stands with Anthony Fisher. The Archbishop of Sydney is a key orchestrator of the cult’s extreme abuses and carries on Pell’s regime of torture, cover up and criminality.

“make the Liberal Party great again”

- Alex Antic Sunday 4 May 2025

🤣🤣🤣 #auspol
theguardian.com 15m ago 01.39 BST Dan Jervis-Bardy The right-wing SA Liberal senator, Alex Antic, has ripped into the Coalition's campaign in an interview on Sky News. Antic said: • It think it simply didn't have policy that resonated." Many of the policies were, in my mind, reminiscent of a mobile phone contract - you know, for the first 12 months, you'll get something free. I mean, in many cases, I feel very sorry for some of our excellent candidates, particularly here in South Australia, who've done a power of work trying to get real people back into politics. But unfortunately, we've sent the troops into battle without ammunition. Asked about the future direction of the party, Antic said the Liberal branch in SA - of which he exerts enormous influence - was a template for a nationwide revival. He said the party must "make the Liberal Party great again", echoing Donald Trump's campaign slogan.
