Channel Seven’s Natalie Barr on Tim Wilson being wiped out in Goldstein: “I feel sorry for him, and I don’t even know him.” Jason Clare: “That’s because you don’t know him.”

Is it just me, or was Sam Maiden in a bit of a mood on #Insiders this morning? Looked like she wanted to start punching puppies.

“The real story is the clandestine meeting.” No, the REAL story is how James Weir got paid to write an entire piece about Albo possibly wearing fake glasses. Upside, the comparison between a cabal of dickhead schoolboys and the PM is accidentally spot on. apple.news/ALfUQImSySWma1_63…

I watched John Howard come from behind to win, then Turnbull, then (most troublingly) Morrison, after which he delivered 3 years of corruption, inaction and gaslighting of the people. If Labor can’t take this awful mob down this time, when will they ever?#auspol
