Speers can't cope with a reforming government that is trying to tackle complex problems #insiders

Wealthy people extracting government money with the help of fancy accountants and lawyers should be publicly shamed more than it is. They are bludgers and should be named as such #insiders

Media gotcha culture makes good reform really difficult. Clearly reform to tax policy is utterly needed, but the torrent of media garbage in response cruels most attempts. At least the Feds have gone for it this time #insiders

The media obsession with gotchas about tax policy makes good policy development very difficult. Speers is one of the worst offenders #insiders

Farrer is clearly a conservative rural electorate, annoyed by Ley's ouster and essentially racist. So the outcome is not surprising. We can be confident that One Nation will do its usual implosion sooner or later #insiders

Billionaires can't help themselves - they crave power and influence as well as big piles of cash. Say no to billionaires and their sick obsessions #insiders

Challenging budget this year, given the global vandalism of the evil Trump regime #insiders

Trump is a madman who is spinning the world into deeper and deeper crisis. We can only hope that he soon passes into history, giving the hope that someone not relentlessly stupid and egotistical can step up #insiders

Australia can't outsource dealing with problematic citizens to other countries. We need to be grown up about these difficulties and deal with them effectively #insiders

Angus is an intellectual midget, a fact amply demonstrated this morning #insiders

Unhinged is a good word, but it is fast becoming inadequate to describe Trump #insiders

Angus Taylor and his motley crew trying to buy One Nation territory is both predictable and deeply disgusting #insiders

Obviously, Samantha, Australia must not be involved in Trump's war, no matter what they ask us to do #insiders

Richard Marles is the most problematic member of the federal government, given his fealty to the US and specifically AUKUS. This interview is just reinforcing this issue #insiders

The Iran situation is of Trump's making, with encouragement from Netanyahu. Say that #insiders

Trump's disgusting comment about destroying a civilisation is one of the most chilling and evil phrases uttered by a leader since the nazi era #insiders

Trump listened to the war criminal, Netanyahu, who told him that US participation in this fantasy of bringing down the Iranian regime would give a quick victory and bragging rights. Trump is gullible and swallowed the lie. And the whole world has to suffer as a result #insiders

Abbott confirms that he is a chronic drongo every time he opens his mouth #insiders

The Coalition has no ideas whatsoever about the energy crisis. Left to them, we would have joined the foolish Iran adventure as as little deputy sheriff to that maniac Trump, so whatever they say has no credibility #insiders

One Nation will flare up for a while, kill off the Liberals, but will ultimately collapse under the weight of its own massive stupidity and lack of serious policies #insiders

Trump started a chest-thumping war out of his endless narcissism and macho posturing. Now he has unleashed hell, with no exit plan. The world outside the US has no say in any of this, but we will wear the consequences #insiders

Obviously, the issue of the Iranian soccer team cannot be discussed without putting the women in even more danger. Leave it alone #insiders

Yes, regime change is always a bad idea. Trump has a grandiosity kink, so he thinks that he can snap his fingers and make regime change happen by force of personality. He can't, but he will drag the world to hell in the attempt #insiders

Trump's bloodthirsty adventure must be condemned over and over. That orange maniac has made the world less safe, and he is a criminal attempting to hide his crimes by starting a war #insiders

And here we were thinking that Trump was opposed to wars of "regime change". But then, everything he says is a an abject, self-serving lie #insiders

A big reform budget would be great, but the likes of Speers just rip apart real reform, poisoning the well #insiders

Part of me hopes that the Coalition gets its act together to slow One Nation down. One Nation benefits from Coalition chaos. Anything that bursts their bubble is a good thing #insiders

In a sane world, Angus Taylor would have no chance at leadership, given consistently poor performance to date #insiders

Must be excruciating for Speers to watch his side of politics imploding #insiders

The social media ban for unders 16s is the sort of bold policy that a government with a big majority should be doing #insiders

The Coalition has made itself irrelevant. It has done nothing else with such efficiency #insiders

Speers will no doubt spin the Albanese wedding into a negative #insiders

The Coalition is cooked, in the same way they mean to cook the planet #insiders

New coal-fired power stations? Get off the grass #insiders

The Liberal party has destroyed its electoral chances, which is a net gain for Australia #insiders

Richardson was problematic, with his "whatever it takes" views, and his media commentary years #insiders

What the hell is "sweat the coal assets?" #insiders

Has there ever been a more sorry rabble than the current Federal Coalition? #insiders

The hopeless Coalition, still prosecuting the climate wars, will set themselves back even further during the next week. Excellent. #insiders

The Nationals doing what they have always done - being the dinosaur in the room #insiders

Barnaby is a weirdo, whose political demise is long overdue #insiders

Feeling embarrassed for Matt Canavan because his ignorant zealotry is instantly recognisable as soon as he steps outside his little bubble. A simple question about not reaching net zero floors him. Hopeless #insiders

Yeah, AUKUS is still a dog. We ought to extricate ourselves #insiders

Will you PLEASE let go of the Rudd/Trump nonsense? Rudd was right about Trump back then. We have to accommodate Trump's idiocy to a certain extent, holding our nose, but nothing changes the fact that Trump is an odious dictator #insiders

Speers so disappointed that the meeting between Albanese and Trump went smoothly. He had hoped to fill a whole episode with criticism #insiders

Joyce wants power. It's blatant and pathetic. He will no doubt trash Onon because he is a deeply silly man. So - go Barn

Excuse me, but who is the unreliable trade partner, Scott Bessent? Hint - it's not China #insiders

Oh, so suddenly Albanese not seeing Trump until now is a positive, David? Just goes to show how much you and your ilk know, with your hysterical criticism all year #insiders

Meeting Trump is not going to help anything. He is an authoritarian dictator and will be gone sooner or later #insiders

Old Barnyard will be enjoying all the attention #insiders
