- Bravo to Lidia Thorpe, but also to the Auslan interpreter who continued to sign what Thorpe was saying.Not the reception King Charles was hoping for in Australia as he receives an almighty heckling “Give us our land back. Give us what you stole from us.”💥 #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillbe
00:00 - PM: "I'm not a surgeon, I'm not the chief medical officer..." No, you're the fucking prime minister, and people are asking you to condemn Deves' comments instead of vaguely endorsing them.
- Australians can't be “paid off”, says the PM who tried to pay Australians off with car parks and sporting facilities
- Journalist: Have you done any modelling on the impact your super policy is going to have on house prices? PM: I simply don’t agree with the assertion that this is going to have any impact. Yeah that's a no.
- "I wasn't focused on RATs back in August because I was busy scrambling to make up supply on the OTHER thing I forgot to order enough of" isn't the winning comeback Morrison thinks it is.
- That "how are you going to stand up to Xi Jinping if you can’t stand up to us?" question confirms what was already clear to many of us: that some journos consider their role to bully and test Albanese, rather than question him.
- Good fucking riddance. themonthly.com.au/the-politics/r…
- Moderator: Do you promise to tell the truth tonight? Morrison: Yes of course Moderator: Have you ever seen any corruption on your side of politics? Morrison: No 🤷♂️
- Morrison says his team are looking into how they might be able to assist and progress "Ray's" issues. That’s not how government is supposed to work. You shouldn't have to accost the PM in a pub to be able to get help. He didn't want HIS issues fixed, he wanted the system fixed.
- A business that can't afford to pay people $21 an hour probably isn't viable #LeadersDebate
- 🧵 An incomplete list of current & former journos who seemed embarrassed by today's press pack antics. No doubt heaps I've missed, no doubt many more unable to speak up. I know it's the end of the campaign, but is the press pack listening yet? Is self-reflection possible here?
