Semi-retired; spend my life between Australia and Malaysia. Interested in all things #auspol, and Tech, and World affairs, and lots more. Hate the LNP since Howard, been a Labor voter all my life but becoming disillusioned with them under Albo.

This genuinely scares me, as an Australian Jew

I love these people like @icodeforlove.com. He followed me, so I followed back despite noticing he had over 10,000 followers and only followed 179 people. Odd. What makes me so special to such a popular person.
30 mins later he unfollows me. It’s his ploy to get followers. Pathetic.

Well done to all those State schools with great NAPLAN results. Just imagine how much better they'd all do if we could take the funding we give to PRIVATE schools and give it to the State Schools.

Just a reminder that it was the Howard government that signed Australia up to the International Criminal Court. Alexander Downer was foreign minister. Peter Dutton was a backbencher.
