Hard to think of a more ‘unAustralian’ act @ScottMorrisonMP than; undermining our democracy and the Constitution, betraying your closest colleagues and hiding everything from the people.

Opinion: This women ‘problem’ is Australia’s great correction | @bairdjulia smh.com.au/national/this-wom…

This women ‘problem’ is Australia’s great correction

The teal independents were dismissed as shallow, hypocritical “fakes”. Their success is a direct response to the years of women being taken for granted.

Relieved and excited that so many Australians have voted for action on climate change, integrity, and for a more positive and hopeful future. @AlboMP is a good and decent person - I’m looking forward to his leadership as our Prime Minister.

A 16yo babysitter & student does not have an “affair” with their teacher. Child abuse or sexual assault perhaps a better way to describe it. Pretty disappointing headline and story ⁦@abcnews⁩ abc.net.au/news/2022-05-18/c…
