Disappointing, insensitive & unnecessary. To compare climate policy with the bloodshed on the streets of Kabul is out of place & unworthy of a member of the Australian Parliament. Our thoughts today should be for the Afghan people & the families of our brave fallen Diggers.

- Justin Langer’s was not the resignation that should have taken place today. He has been a mighty contributor for Australian cricket and should be proud of all he has helped the team accomplish. The nation salutes you JL – a good innings, well played!
- The Olympics Opening Ceremony “artistic” director who felt the need to mock The Last Supper & thereby Christianity should be reminded of the great sacrifice of Christian soldiers, including tens upon tens of 1000s of Australians, buried in 🇫🇷 soil who died to save that country!
- Saddened to read of Simon Crean’s passing. As a first-term Opposition backbencher in 2010, the advice & assistance this Labor luminary gave me was quite extraordinary. He offered help when our daughter moved to Melbourne. A wonderful human being, he was an MP who genuinely cared.
- Congratulations @BorisJohnson on your victory. Looking forward to working with you to advance trade between our countries, benefiting both regional & rural Australia and the United Kingdom.
- They’ll be wanting Don Bradman’s statue torn down next. These un-Australian lefties worried about a sporting icon who wrote a letter to the PM 47 yrs ago. Give it a rest. The only Bradman letter worth writing about is the one they play for annually between Coota & Bowral juniors.
- Children are our future. The most responsible thing parents can do for their children is to ensure they have the best possible chance of the best possible future by listening to health professionals, NOT conspiracy theorists who should be pulled into line.
- A display in a Wagga Wagga storefront window showing me in a Nazi-like uniform has been reported to Police. It also depicts Opposition Leader Peter Dutton & mining magnates Gina Rinehart & Clive Palmer in German uniforms. To be depicted as a Nazi is as insulting as it is vile.
- I won’t be lectured by former teal MP Zoe Daniel about standing up and fighting for the communities of the Riverina. The net zero concept has become nothing more than a pipe dream which is lining the pockets of billionaires whilst destroying country communities and our economy.
00:00 - Trouble is, I did stomach it! In a bid to show my respect to local traditions I drank the whole bowl of Sakau. Feeling much better now and it’s been a great chance to connect with our Pacific family in FSM. 🇦🇺🇫🇲Former deputy prime minister @M_McCormackMP has suddenly fallen ill during a diplomatic tour of Micronesia. The Nationals MP was offered a bowl of Kava, but couldn't stomach the traditional drink. He was helped to his car and taken to hospital for medical treatment. #7NEWS
- 🇦🇺 & 🇮🇳 have always had a special relationship & my summit with @barryofarrell & @nitin_gadkari to discuss ongoing opportunities for collaboration on #RoadSafety & infrastructure, was yet another example of this relationship delivering real outcomes for millions of people.
- Let's keep Australia Day on January 26. Australia Day is a day for all Australians, but Labor's changes are fracturing the community and undermining our national identity. Visit 26jan.au to let Labor know you're in the majority of Aussies who support Australia Day.
- Farmers will unite as one in Canberra to stand against Labor’s poor policies hurting hard-working primary producers. They are here to say enough is enough. Banning live exports, water buybacks, destroying valuable farmland – it has to stop! @keepthesheepWA #NationalAgRally
00:00 - Hopefully the courts will uphold all charges @nswpolice laid against those moronic protesters in Sydney today and impose the toughest sentences available to them. What disgraceful scenes. How un-Australian. As for the idiot who punched the police horse – he deserves gaol time.
