The state government only pays the major contractors to do the work so the contractors must have been paying the CFMEU and billing the government for the bribes. Which of these companies told Geoffrey Watson that they were fraudulently ripping off the government and for how much?

Time to take a mental health sabbatical from X. The endless stream of toxic bullshit which floods it every morning, particularly from the Trump propaganda machine, is doing my head in. Added to that, we have the wannabe Hanson glee club! It's all too much. Cheers.

In my 55 years as a primary school teacher, I can't remember ever being in a school where there was not a Monday morning assembly where the children did not sing the National Anthem and acknowledge the flag. I'm not sure if mandating it will make any difference to anything

The Victorian government did not spend $13 million on machete bins. It spent $13 million on the whole amnesty, education, advertising and collection program. One day, Jess is going to be forced to explain what she will do and the co$t facebook.com/share/r/1aKW82M…

Jacinta has no idea. It's doubtful she wrote her address but she says it nicely and with authority and looks a million dollars. Much of what she is saying is false. E.g. The cost of fossil fuels is driving energy costs up not net zero facebook.com/share/r/1CESK55…

Trump is in real trouble. The MAGAs are out in droves on social media in an attempt to turn it around. Trump's Presidency is mortally wounded, and on dubious life support.

In 30 years some of these young blokes will have kids and maybe grandkids and someone will be raced to hospital for lifesaving treatment. In all probability that treatment will be provided by an immigrant or descendant of an immigrant whom they are vilifying today

Another day after a disaster for Trump and his trolls are flooding social media with inane shite. It's like he pushes a button and they all come out of their burrows. Its a joke

They are out there. Scratch a bogan Australian and they bleed racism. Take a look at this video, 'neo nazis lead the australia day rally' share.google/SfbUQ9l5xcTsLjV…

Where did Trump find so many people to serve in his administration who are prepared to lie and lie when the truth is so glaringly obvious to everyone on the planet? The latest is this grub. What does Trump have on him or what has he promised him.

Murderer in Chief? The man who is turning America on itself.

Albanese SHOULD NOT demand an apology from Trump. He has said exactly what is appropriate. Trump was speaking specifically about NATO in relation to member countries coming to the US's aid in war. We were one of 4 non NATO countries supporting the US in Afghanistan.

Is there something wrong with Littleproud? Not only does he look like a nong, he behaves like one too. He reckons his Senators did "nothing wrong"! Well, they thought so, said so, and tendered their resignations. All the fuckwit had to do was replace them. Talk about a shit show

Anthony "Albo" Albanese, Australia's best PM since Bob Hawke. Maybe better.

Out of interest I looked up AI to see if it had any information about any family or friends. Interestingly it had info about my father which included that he "immigrated to the US in 1943"! He was actually sent to the US on government war business. He came home in April 1944

Cirstea was not about to serve and Osaka was still walking back to her position. Her "come on" was barely audible. BB Cirstea is a bit precious. Screeching a second after you hit the ball is far more distracting and unfair. xitter.cf/popalorena/status/2014…

Littleproud just goes from dumb to dumber each new day. Now he says Sussan Ley "broke the Coalition by accepting the three resignations"! The three admitted, before they tendered their resignations, that they had broken Shadow Cabinet rules and accepted that they must resign.

I'd like to nominate this bloke for Australian Tool of the Year. Any doubts, just watch his interview on ABC's 7.30 tonight. He's a Class A fuckwit.

Littleproud is untrustworthy and dumb. If the Nats want to regain any credibility HE must be dumped, not Ley, and Bridget McRorty should be relegated to the backbench and dis-endorsed the next time she comes up for reelection. She's also a treacherous canine of the female gender.

Assuming the Nats sat around the Shadow Ministry table had their say and ultimately accepted the group decision on the hate speech legislation. If they didn't they should have told Ley and resigned before the vote. Littleproud and his gang are treacherous dogs.
