Treasurer Jim Chalmers obliterates a “chirpy” & “incoherent” Angus Taylor on inflation saying “if he’s dark about inflation at 2.8%, he must have been absolutely furious when he was in office & inflation was 6.1%”
“Inflation is a bit like golf…you want a lower number.”🔥#QT

Our biased mainstream media criticised our PM for days because he bought a house - how dare he. They hounded him for a week, front page news because 15 years ago he declared flight upgrades.
Is this front page on any of our MSM outlets??

Sussan Ley asks Albo : why have only 13% of participants in fee free TAFE finished their courses?
Albo: Because we only started up the scheme 2 yrs ago & some of the courses are 3 or 4 yrs long
You can't make this stuff up!
Proves the opposition front bench are a bunch of nuffies

If Albo doesn't win the next election it's going to be tragic for Australia...mark my words ,
Does Anyone remember this cesspool of spending from the Morrison government. #auspol

Are any of our brave journalists going to ask Bridget why she blatantly lied to the public about this and how is she ever to be trusted again.

Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.
As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.
It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.
I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.
I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.
I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.
We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.
There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.
I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.
I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.

White people in America should never again talk about criminal behavior, amongst Black people, immigrants, or anyone else when they are literally casting ballots for a convicted felon to be president of the United States.

First it was 0...
Then 1...
Now more than a dozen.
And what will the consequence be? Nothing.
A system with no accountability only fuels the already declining public trust in politics.
Reform to transparency & lobbying is desperately needed.

I think we need to come to terms with the fact that the American people have fundamentally broken away from the rest of the "Western World".
Their values are now more aligned to Eastern Europe than Western Europe.

• Bridget McKenzie, Oppn Transport spokesperson, falsely claimed she'd received NO upgrades.
• She falsely claimed Bill Shorten needed to update HIS register.
• It's now reported she received ELEVEN upgrades but is waiting on Qantas bc she may need to declare more! 🙄 #auspol

Here’s why the media went berserk over Albo’s house:
1) Envy, jealousy, greed, loathing all sell newspapers, get clicks, ears and eyeballs. Whip up the punters: “He’s got something you haven’t.” For most media it’s a big part of the business model. @TurnbullMalcolm calls it ‘angertainment’, and he’s right.

Anthony Albanese is the only PM or politician in Australian history, who’s not allowed to buy a home for himself and his future wife.
Only one that bought real estate when it was much cheaper, sells it now, but is ripped to sheds for it.
How much is Dutton worth??
Don’t see him living in a hovel.
Graham Richardson lives in one of the wealthiest suburbs in Sydney’s east!!
Albo bought a home on the central coast!
Same home in Sydney would be worth fives times as much!!!
The media in this country are well and truly a bunch of jealous, RW fucking parasites.
How many journalists live in Sydney’s wealthy eastern suburbs???????
How much does Julie Bishop spend of her $300,000 for life taxpayers pension on handbags and shoes?

Indigenous Professor, Tom Calma on #abc730
‘Since the referendum there have been elevated levels of racism- the Referendum has given people licence to “have a go”
You can blame Dutton and the RW media entirely for that.
Almost 90 percent of Indigenous Australians supported a First Nations Voice to Parliament.
Over 6 million Australians voted Yes for a First Nations Voice in the Constitution.
Prof Tom Calma was a key architect, along with Prof Marcia Langton behind the prospective voice to parliament This was implemented under the Morrison government.
… and Dutton not only tears it down - he empowers some of the most rancid racism seen in this country for a long time.
There is no doubt that racism in one form or another has always existed here - but it is now off the leash, proud and ‘patriotic’ - thanks to the dog whistling of RW media, Dutton and vested interests..
.. all to create culture wars and division.
… and why TF is Speers hosting abc730? For the entire interview with Prof Calma, Speers was looking an opportunity to create a space to blame Labor for a fkn idea that the Coalition initially implemented and Dutton destroyed.

David Speers is wrong
This was a disaster for Trump
He came across as an incoherent old uncle
He is finished

👏👏 Niki Savva nails it again. Herself and Laura Tingle are a rare type who see through Murdoch media and the deceitful Australian MSM. Karvelas, Sky News Speers, Fauziah Ibrahim, Jennett on #afternoonbriefing... the ABC needs a cleanse! #abc730 #auspol
With unflinching accuracy, Niki Savva unmasks Australia's media game:
"The Murdoch empire continues its mission to emasculate the ABC, at times ably assisted by the ABC," which "wilts" under pressure from politicians.
The attacks on Laura Tingle.
Endless "Dutton says". #auspol
