Correct. Barnaby Joyce once had standards. canberratimes.com.au/story/9…

This is the most vile political snipe I've ever seen. How can anyone stomach Hanson now?

Even her reluctant apology says a lot about her character.

If only there’d been some clues … spectator.com/article/shame-…

Shame on me for being fooled by Donald Trump

Trump greeted the invention of social media with the immoderate glee of a man who reportedly has never drunk alcohol.

There are certain decisions that will go down as history-defining moments. This is one of them. It's a terrible misjudgment of Putin, who has made it clear he wants to destroy the West. We shouldn't help him do it.

A tremendous start that came to an abrupt end after five days. She “commanded the room” and then the commander-in-chief fired her.

A tremendous start for the new White House @PressSec! She commanded the room and effectively reminded the American people of all the great work President Trump and his Administration has done thus far.

Murray Watt unloads on Pauline Hanson who in her question, says she voted against deporting hate preachers because she ‘didn’t like the legislation’ “I can only assume that, that was the measures we imposed to crack down on Neo Nazis…was that the bit you didn’t like?”🔥 Yep. 🙄

Good to hear @AlboMP speak unequivocally against an “abhorrent” live streaming a US execution. Civilised Australians are disgusted by the death penalty, period, & appalled that such horror would be broadcast. What a savage hyper-violent country the US is. @PatsKarvelas @abcnews

"Trump has not helped end the war in Ukraine. He has prolonged it. In doing so, he has sided with autocratic Russia and against democratic Ukraine. That pivot has deeply undermined America’s reputation as the leader of the free world."

Trump cannot understand Zelenskyy because Zelenskyy thinks being rich & powerful is less important than fighting to save his country. To Trump this is pig-headed, stupid. To Ukrainians, & non-sociopaths everywhere, it is just patriotism - what any real leader would do.

Trump wants Ukraine’s President to have as much courage against Putin as he has … which is none.

Unhappy, insecure and looking for revenge. Why Labor should be very worried about its most loyal supporters canberratimes.com.au/story/9…

Stopped believing: vulnerable, neglected voters put hope in One Nation

Poor services and fatigue are pushing "safe" seats to the edge.
