- All those in favour of a Federal ICAC say "Aye". Or Nay, if you must. #Auspol
- Adern's speech just magnificent. "To the people who did this: You may have chosen us, but we UTTERLY reject and condemn you." She is a leader for her times, to take her country through this appalling period.
- I am very proud. Thanks so much, too, to the women of Australia, who have always had her back throughout the whole thing.Lisa Wilkinson leaves the Federal Court in Sydney, arm in arm with her barrister Sue Chrysanthou, SC. “I feel glad for the women of Australia today,” Wilkinson says.
00:00 - Serious question. If the ALP wins, what is the first thing you hope Prime Minister Albanese will do/announce as the first move of his Government? Personally, I would like to see the #HomeToBilo family, be allowed to head precisely that way, where a warm community welcome awaits.
- Is this one of the great personal ads/corrections of all time?
- Only a small point, perhaps, in the scheme of things, but am I alone in thinking the Prime Minister should refer to Brittany Higgins as "Ms Higgins" in Parliament & not, as he did, as "Brittany"? Under the circumstances he should be treating her with elaborate and formal respect.
- Thanks @moral_crusader This is so eloquent and right on the money,
- It is a seriously great day for the Australian media landscape. The fact that Alan Jones can no longer get a gig on radio, in the press, or on television means we will all be spared his poison infiltrating the body politic. #Auspol
- #Breaking Alan Jones announces his retirement from radio at the end of the month. Good.
- There is something about the Foreign Minister that is just electric. I think it's a combination of intellect, empathy and the barest hint of menace that you better not get in her way while she is doing good work. Discuss.On my first day as Foreign Minister, I want to share some thoughts with our Pacific family. Our region faces unprecedented challenges, but we will face them together. We will achieve our shared aspirations together. And we will listen because we care what the Pacific has to say.
00:00 - No joke, these signs are being pasted up around Kirribilli on telegraph poles and walls. Brutal - but, such is politics. #Auspol
- Is it me, or are gambling ads just about wall to wall these days? Drives me NUTS!
