A brave statement by HH and good on him for doing so. Delays on reserved judgements and decisions is a threat to the rule of law. Surely these offending judicial officers can find the time to write their decisions when they're at Sorrento or Coogee... #auslegal @fchralph

That's a brave strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for him...

Disunity is death in politics.

I'm genuinely interested who the hell the Liberal Party get to do their media and comms...this is embarrassing.

The Nationals calling for an early election in which (polling suggests) their entire party would be wiped out in one go, One Nation becomes the official opposition while Labor remains in power It's a bold strategy Cotton let's see if it pays off for em afr.com/politics/federal/is-…

Tony Blair is the living embodiment of what happens when political office becomes a down payment on future plunder. Ejected in 2007 by his own MPs as a massive liability, he bequeathed Britain a wild casino economy primed for the 2008 crash. And when the British economy crashed and burned, Mr Blair kept quiet while honing his skills at securing power by other means. His first job, after his ejection from 10 Downing Street, was as the West’s Middle East envoy, with a supposed emphasis on Gaza. It took six painful years for Mr Blair’s tenure to prove a failure so profound it amounted to active complicity in Israel’s ethnic cleansing, in Palestinian erasure, and in paving the ground for the ongoing genocide. Soon after, the Chilcot Inquiry demolished Blair’s Iraq lies, exposing him as a liar, a chancer and a war criminal responsible for countless corpses of Iraqis, but also of British soldiers. Then came Blair’s real innovation: the financialisation of the ex-premiership itself. The Tony Blair Institute, fuelled by £130 million from Oracle's Larry Ellison—coincidentally, the largest individual donor to the Friends of the IDF—became a shadow state, brokering governance contracts for autocrats and companies like Palantir that weaponise AI to produce mega-death abroad and full-on surveillance of Western populations. Now, in May 2026, this corporate fixer issues a 5700 word tantrum demanding that Labour embrace Trump even more than Starmer already has, denounce what is left of Labour’s betrayed Green New Deal, and trash the remnants of workers' rights. This is not the wisdom of an aging statesman. It is the frantic squirming of a man fearing his grip on oligarchic power might soon wane and whose entire post-10 Downing Street existence depends on preventing the many from ever reclaiming what the few have plundered. theguardian.com/politics/202…

The old Country Party really has no idea. If an early election was called, the Nats would be smashed.

And the Liberals keep digging. Sensational stuff.

One Nation hardly has any policies Rita...

1. No one cares about this Howard era stuff. 2. Even if they did, it was the Morrison Liberal Government that put Australia into debt.

My grandmother was born in Tocumwal and my great grandfather settled in Corowa until he died. Those towns once offered opportunity but are now dying. I despise ON but I fully understand why these voters are pissed off.

Bob Borbidge is right: any association with One Nation is toxic. They are not allies or friends of the Liberal Party. They feed on discontent. They have no solutions for the future of Australia.

RT @KosSamaras: Watching Angus Taylor last night was like watching a tribute act trying to recreate Tony Abbott circa 2013. Same monotone d…

Did @senbmckenzie really just say she'd be open to go into a coalition with One Nation!? Fisher and Boswell would be turning in their graves. #auspol

I bet the Labor Party cannot believe their luck.

Malcolm Fraser warned the major parties years ago that politicians coming through had not had real jobs, lacked basic life experience and many did not come from the communities they seek to represent. That warning went unheard and now major parties are paying the price. #auspol

And any employer in Australia with less than 100 employees could sack their workers for no reason at all. What a time to be alive Mark. #auspol

Ok boomer.

This is hard to watch. Public servants are by and large some the most hard working and professional people I've worked with. They are dedicated to the institutions they work for, just like Sir Olly, and it's beyond disappointing when they are scapegoated like this.
