I remember watching the 3 of them walking side-by-side. My sense was that Labor Oppn Leader Beazley & Democrats Leader Kernot had put aside politics to provide PM Howard with comfort & support after the #PortArthurMassacre. It's disturbing we're not seeing that today. 😔 #auspol #BondiBeachAttack

The Queensland Supreme Court overturned the Queensland government's ban on puberty blockers, but in very Trumpian style, the Queensland government told the court to get stuffed, and reintroduced it anyway. This is who the LNP are - Trump emulators.

We have another Well Done Angus moment. RBA lowers the cash rate by 0.25% to 4.10%. However, he thinks they increased it.

ABC News accuses Labor of "misleading" ad. The ad uses a clip of Dutton's own words criticising the cost of Medicare. The ad accurately warns voters of the Coalition's plan for cutting Medicare services. So the ABC is now actively helping the Coalition campaign?! #journalism #suspol #AusVotes2025

The Libs are upset Labor mocked the claim that hateful angry racist Dutton is "not a monster"?! Funny. They never apologised for:
• calling PM Gillard a witch and a bitch
• claiming her partner might be gay
• vilifying Jim Chalmers' wife for wearing a dress.
