A 1.4% levy on the gambling industry could compensate the media for ALL revenue lost from a potential gambling advertising ban. Australians lose more money gambling than any other country. It's time for our governments to act. @AmyRemeikis #auspol

@reeeatine @_Bandit__22 @PhilHazell1 How easy it is to pass judgment on those who are thrown onto a battlefield with roadside bombs, interpreters who turn around and shoot you and spotters who give your unit’s position away to snipers Hope you never have to face to terrors our soldiers did, keyboard warrior

@_Bandit__22 @AverageAusMan @PhilHazell1 Sure, google the Afghan files. The fact he’s been arrested means a judge has approved the warrant And yes, we’ll let the courts decide. Its you weirdos that are upset he’s been arrested. A judge is satisfied with the evidence submitted so you should be too He disgraced our flag

I’m perplexed over the outcry with Ben Roberts being arrested. I think I’m right in saying 21 former colleagues are testifying against him. Derrrr…

This is brilliant! 🔥 A journalist just had a fiery exchange with Chris Bowen as he deflected questions on Australia’s energy transition and completely omitted the 82% renewables target. About time someone held this slimeball to account! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Here's Nick McKenzie (The Age) who pursued Ben Roberts Smith for years until he found a way to have him charged with war crimes, he used evidence given by Roberts Smiths colleagues who fell apart when confronted with the realities of war - "investigative journalist" ? More like "snake in the grass"

@KatyKray73 Bowen seems to have been given he fisting of invincibility it would seem that he now things he is above and beyond questioning. He is ALP’ biggest liability, and under substantial scrutiny he will crumble

@GreenTyler27 I’ve said it many times before, Bowen is undoubtedly the lowest IQ member of parliament - by a considerable margin

I can’t believe this person is the energy minister. What juvenile rubbish. The sun is free. But solar is a capital-intensive system. Panels, inverters, batteries, grid upgrades and firming capacity are all funded with mountains of debt. And when these bond yields rise… so does the cost of this “cheap” energy.

@JEChalmers ‘We recognize people are under pressure, that’s why we did another year of record permanent migration to Australia in the middle of a housing crisis’

We recognise that people are still under pressure and petrol prices are still too high, but by halving the fuel excise we can take some of the sting out of prices and help with the cost of living. For more info about Labor's fuel excise cut, visit pm.gov.au/media/fuel-exc…

@even_steven8tht This post is a reminder that keyboard warriors will forever shit on actual warriors who put their life on the line for their country Zero acknowledgment about how they were killing suspected spotters who would pass on intel to the Taliban You’d be happier if BRS was dead

@HenryGB_274 @jb_jords @even_steven8tht 21 were called, many subpoenaed. A group described as ‘several’ are eye witnesses. BRS had 6-7 members of his direct unit testify on his behalf Don’t let the facts get in the way

@MurrayWatt 18-21 year olds are about to find out the only reason they were getting entry level jobs with no practical experience was because they were cheaper Oh well Murray - we can’t expect someone in the Canberra bubble to possess this modicum of common sense, we forgive you!

18-21 year olds don’t get discounted bills, why should their wages be discounted too? That’s why Labor’s delivering a pay rise for workers on junior wages.

@BrentHodgson Oh this is how Australia does it? Would you care to share the last time we did in then? And all the other wars we didn’t? Oh no? You don’t like the facts?

No, champ. This is how Australia investigates & charges them as war criminals when faced with credible allegations they’ve killed unarmed guys, disarmed prisoners, and/or civilians. This isn’t the targeting of soldiers. He’s charged because good soldiers themselves spoke up. Meanwhile the far-right thinks licensing war crimes strengthens nations.
Ian Miles Cheong@ianmiles

This is how Australia treats its war heroes. Brands them war criminals for killing the bad guys and throws them in jail. Disgraceful.

@auboomers @_x_wanderer So you're saying it should be as easy to save up for a $3.2 million house, as it was for you to save up for a $118.000 one?

Wendy and I bought our home in Killara in 1983 for $118,000. She was flying with Ansett, I was at the bank. We saved the deposit in just under two years. The agent reckons it's worth about $3.2 million now but we'd never sell, too many memories. I don't understand why young people say it's impossible. We weren't on big money. We just had discipline 🏡

@PhilHazell1 @_Bandit__22 Correct - you let the Taliban spotter go and reveal the location/details of your unit and allow fellow ADF members to be neutralised. The politicians who sent these men to war should be the ones on trial

@Batman2242 Recruitment is suffering because Gen Z does want to fight rich old peoples wars that Australia should have nothing to do with. Not because a war criminal is rightfully being prosecuted
