This isn’t business as usual. Potentially significant cuts are coming to the Australian Public Service and I want to know what this means for service delivery and for jobs. Labor promised to protect the APS, they need to honour that promise.

The person apologising for failing to pass on the Sydney neo-Nazi rally protest information is the Deputy NSW Police Commisioner. He was recently the acting NSW Police Commissioner and applied for the top job. But 3 months ago he was passed over for the Commissioner's job. Yes, indeed 😎

They all seem to be reading from Graeme Richardson's book "whatever it takes" and is pathetic. The ALP aim for Australia just seems to be in govt & do bad populist policy along with the Libs. That is a lose-lose for us

Labor's FOI reforms are a betrayal of democracy. FOI is broken and rather than fixing it, Labor is seeking to make it more expensive and even more impenetrable. Government information belongs to the people they are supposedly working for but they keep hiding more and more.

IMHO the Zionists will not come back from this for another 3 generations and will never be able to hide behind antisemitism again. The US will not come back from this either, threatening those seeking stability through BRICS. Approaching end game now 😟
