Dutton tried (but failed) to shut down question time before Clare O'Neil got another chance to remind people of his terrible record in multiple ministries. (the Liberals shouted but couldn't distract her, including chirping from 'Mr Multiple Ministries' up the back) #auspol #qt

#LisaMillar has every right to interview the Treasurer. But for God's sake brush up on economics beforehand. "Are you lying?", "are you lying?", "are you lying?" is not interviewing. It is banal muttering of an incompetent lunatic. ABC, fix this bloody mess!

And so the truth telling begins. Australians are at best frightened and at worst racist in their hearts. Vale the lucky country.

Replying to @AustrackCampers
@Austrackcampers, your adverts on Sky News Australia’s after-dark opinion pages are funding climate science denialism, racism, vote no for the Voice & misogyny. Does this reflect your corporate values? One would hope not, and you act appropriately. cc @slpng_giants_oz.

This is the Japanese Puffer Fish - one of #nature's greatest artists. To grab a female’s attention he creates something that defies belief. Nature is amazing. Protect it. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #rewilding #oceans #GreenNewDeal

What is it with @abcnews? It keeps leading with motherhood statements from the opposition commentating on policy rather than the @AustralianLabor aka the governments actual policy. Is it just a habit it can’t break? #auspol
BREAKING: March For Our Lives protesters launch massive protests in 46 states across the US to protest assault weapons & mass shootings in schools, declaring that they’re “tired, angry, and ready to organize and mobilize” for gun safety reforms. RT IF YOU SUPPORT THEIR PROTESTS!

Ungracious continues to be the theme. What a bizarre concession speech #auspoll @abcnews
Unsolicited creepy message. Is this how democracy is these days #auspoll
Surely one of the best posts of the election campaign. I don't expect any blue ticks to acknowledge this when they freely borrow it for their own articles, but this is exquisitely precise commentary. #insiders @toninicho

Tasmanian Senate electioneering material by mail. #ScottyTheAnnouncer busy electioneering in WA. How did I miss the election announcement? I thought we paid these people to govern not campaign on our coin #auspol

Nades has his forklift license & his old job is waiting for him at the local meatworks in Biloela. Country towns are crying out for hard workers like Nades. But Mr Morrison's Ministers are STILL stopping his family coming #HometoBilo.Take action bit.ly/HTB2022 #forklifts

How does NSW Police actually police the $1000 fine? Go through a suspects garbage post pharmacy stakeout? #Perrottet went from 100 to zero protection on 15 Dec and has now zoomed back to 110 with no support structures in place- just a thin blue line.
It seems like our PM has worked through the countries he’s pissed off really quickly. It seems like we were only on F yesterday.
