LNP in Victoria has had 7 'new' leaders in 8 years. Listening to newby Jess Wilson talk about the coalition 'team' is hilarious. They hate each other π

These days I don't watch Parliamentary question time that much. So predictable. But I reckon you could flog tickets to the public gallery next time after LNP drop net zero and promote coal and gas.

LNP will not be a party of government again. They just haven't come to accept this yet. The longer term (20 year) electoral outlook will see multi-party coalitions governing, just like much of Europe. Generally keeping politics in the centre.

Now the LNP has wheeled out Dan Tehan to tell us that the thoroughly discredited and debunked carbon capture and storage 'technology' is the solution for rapid reductions in harmful gas. π€₯π π Said it with a straight face too ππ€£

don't seem to know that the political landscape in Australia has completely changed. The LNP are irrelevant and interviewing Andrew Bragg carries as much weight as interviewing some random off the street.

Australia faces big questions about health, education, the economy and the environment. Without a doubt though, the biggest question we must face is, can Sussan Ley get any more stupid. π

Dear news media ( especially

) please stop saying billions of $ in tariffs are *flowing into America* Tariffs are paid by the consumer in America and nobody else. Your adoption of Trumpist language is misleading and incredibly lazy.

Why does the media call the terrorist property thieves in occupied Palestine 'Jewish settlers'? They are homicidal thieves terrorising Palestinian civilians so they can steal their homes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen anyone putting forward broadening the GST on the tax summit agenda. Why not? We need to talk about some of the exemptions like private school fees.
