    Dear @TamePunk, I do believe you have unlocked a new level of legendary status today. Few have reached it. #notyourphotoop

    I wonder how many Fed Govt MPs would still be standing if we had a national ICAC?

    It is disgraceful that is is easier to get Covid than it is to get a Rapid Antigen Test at the moment

    I just saw Peter Dutton accuse me of acting because I “want a job on the Reserve Bank board”! He doesn’t understand that not everyone acts in grubby self-interest. I’ve already got a job thanks! #insiders

    I can announce that in order to ensure balance after the first leaders debate hosted by SkyNews, the ACTU is prepared to host the second debate. Instead of Peta Credlin & Paul Murray commentating, it will be @MicheleONeilAU and myself.

    Yet another flight cancellation from @Qantas who can’t find staff to clean planes or unload baggage because they unlawfully sacked their loyal staff by outsourcing them. People won’t work for poverty wages & insecure jobs. Customers suffer. Who’s accountable?

    So Ken Wyatt the Liberal MP for Hasluck says he should get a pay rise when he is on $426K. He says he works hard. Well so do aged care workers on $24/hour who can’t afford rent or food. If there is a list of ppl deserving pay rises, he is at the bottom.

    The Morrison Govt will not agree to paid leave to allow women & children to escape domestic violence, but there seems to be endless paid leave for abusers & harassers within his party.

    A terrible fact: The $40B in JobKeeper that went to companies that didn’t need it equates to $8/hour increase for the 2.6mil workers on minimum award wages

    “Don't be too polite girls, don't be too polite, 
Show a little fight girls, show a little fight, 
Don't be fearful of offending, in case you get the sack 
Just recognise your value and we won't look back.” This is Australian union song, 1969

    Today’s front page of The Australian is running headlines that are entirely made up, saying unions have launched a pay rise blitz threatening to undermine the economy during the Omnicron crisis! Shows how desperate they are to distract from Morrison’s failures
