Former NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell resigned as he’d β€œforgot” to declare an expensive bottle of wine. Federal Labor minister Mick Young waa forced to stand down in 1984 as he didn’t declare a Paddington bear in his luggage thru customs. Hanson is gifted a new plane and $2M cash from a billionaire and the media thinks it’s a blow up over nothing?

If you’re under 45, you have no experience of how effective the nationwide, not-for-profit, client-focused, one stop shop Commonwealth Employment Service was. Set up after WW2, it functioned effectively until John Howard shut it down for private sector mates in 1996. #auspol

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as β€œthe most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

When did "wear your seatbelt correctly" become a "lesser-known rule"?
A Sydney passenger was hit with a hefty fine after breaking a lesser known rule while riding shotgun, prompting calls for reform.

Australia doesn’t need the gas from fracking the Beetaloo, which would produce over 9x what's required between now and 2050. It would take the National Electricity Market 237 years to use this much gas – blowing way past Australia's 2050 net zero target. #auspol marketforces.org.au/campaign…

Scott Morrison did not earn an ounce of respect as PM. He was a shallow, self-serving, mendacious, grifting, back-stabbing, evangelical RWNJ & these are the nice things I have to say about #5MinistriesMorrison It is beyond me how @abcnews gives him any credence at all.
Look, I get everyone has a lot of content to fill, especially on a 24 hour news channel, but Scott Morrison is the most unpopular prime minister in recent memory, who is now a shrill for defence and arms companies. There’s no need to ever have him on

The great Aussie gas giveaway is set to continue under Labor 🀯🫠 This is a total scam - we haven’t received a cent of PRRT for offshore LNG exports & the weak changes Govt made last term aren’t fixing it. Parliament needs to fix the PRRT. @abcnews abc.net.au/news/2025-06-05/o…

With the Coalition losing the election, the 7 promised nuclear reactors will now never be built. Which coincidentally is the same as if the Coalition had won the election.

The second term of the Albanese Government must now seize this opportunity to be bolder in delivering real reform to fulfill its promise of leaving no-one behind. Read the full ACOSS election media response here: acoss.org.au/media_release/a…

If you've ever been injured by a stray football kicked by Peter Dutton, you can now get treated quickly and free of charge at one of our Medicare Urgent Care Clinics. We all know Dutton loves making cuts, whether it’s to journalists' heads or the Health Budget. #DontRiskDutton
