So the Nationals have gone from useless to hopeless.
But pass the popcorn - Matt Canavan versus Pauline Hanson

What a rubbish caption.
Public schools brilliantly inspire children to teach their potential.
Don’t fall for the sales pitch and spend thousands when you can get the same or better just down the road at your local school

Good point from Annabel - every question (in Question Time) from the Opposition β€˜came from a dude’.
Says it all really

Tim Wilson is an idiot

What on earth was Samantha Maiden on about β€œputting baby in the corner” ?

Penny Wong is so right - our focus should be on keeping Australians safe, not on laws being broken or not by Trump

New satellite images from several key military bases in the Arabian Peninsula suggest that Iran is seeking to degrade air defenses by destroying US-made radars that detect incoming missiles and drones. https://cnn.it/4b99F0Y

It is both frightening and appalling that in Australia we fund private schools (religious schools run by churches) so generously.
Our school funding policies are undermining our society. And the tragedy is we will never be able to roll it back.
It’s heartbreaking

Now the @smh has published a leader examining the radio demise of Kyle Sandilands - with not a single mention of Mad F Witches #MFW who put a lot of effort into contacting advertisers about his smutty talk on air.
Hey guys give #MFW the credit!
They got rid of Alan Jones, now Sandilands.
Go witches!

Public ed is good for social cohesion. Public funding for religious private schools divides us.
It's extremely depressing how our system & pol leaders encourage a belief that sending your kids to private, esp "Christian" schools gives them a better future. We need pride & investment in public ed

Hey #ABC730
#ABC tv
You forgot to mention Mad F Witches who campaigned very hard and very successfully to get advertisers to dump Kyle Sandilands.
#MFW
They contacted advertisers to make sure they knew about the grubby things he was saying on air.
Good riddance to him. I hope he is gone forever

The report will ever be kept hidden because it shows those in charge then were hopeless and those in charge now are hopeless

They want Iranians to rise up and fight for a democracy.
The religious regime is misogynistic and cruel, and puts in much effort and violence to control women and girls.
Here’s hoping Iranians throw the thugs out

Jeez Tim Wilson.
Who used to work for the (right wing nutter) IPA.
He now works hard to keep wealthy Australians wealthy and stuff the rest of us.

I hope Iranians rise up and get rid of the thugs in charge.
Any regime that sends men out in the streets specifically to bash women (for not covering their hair β€˜properly’) needs to crash and burn.

As if Angus Taylor and Tim Wilson could look after our economy.
We would have to be majorly stupid to ever put those two in charge of any of our finances.
(And where’s the water we paid $80 million for Angus?)

Jeez Speers .
The government doesn’t want these people back but cannot stop them as they have rights as Australian citizens

Speers is struggling to land a blow on Burke.
It seems the government is indeed doing nothing to help the women return, however our bureaucrats have to follow the laws in issuing passports

21.02.2026 22:25 πŸ‘ 8 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Speers is trying to minimise the differences in the group of women . Burke won’t have it. He said our agencies have info on each individual and they are very different and pose different levels of risk in returning them

On you Tony Burke. Some of the reactions to the ISIS women and children coming back to Australia are just outright childish

And there it is the new face of the Liberals - Angus backed by two other (hopeless) men

Good grief. The Liberals are sending out Michaelia Cash after the PM - about the so called ISIS brides.
Spare us

Only an idiot would expect Albanese to β€˜work’ with Angus on anything.
Angus needs to drop everything and work on getting us back that $80 million his company scammed from us for water that didn’t exist

16.02.2026 03:53 πŸ‘ 57 πŸ” 17 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Pay back the 80
million tax payers paid for water that didn’t exist.
Apologise to Clover for the fake invoice inventing overblown travel expenses
Etc

Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and Andrew Hastie (both on the way to being in Angus’s shadow cabinet) epitomise what is wrong with the Liberals. And both need to be gone before the party can hope to regain popular support
