The state government only pays the major contractors to do the work so the contractors must have been paying the CFMEU and billing the government for the bribes. Which of these companies told Geoffrey Watson that they were fraudulently ripping off the government and for how much?

Time to take a mental health sabbatical from X. The endless stream of toxic bullshit which floods it every morning, particularly from the Trump propaganda machine, is doing my head in. Added to that, we have the wannabe Hanson glee club! It's all too much. Cheers.

@DC_Draino This was all tested in court when the legal system was still independent. It was found there was no evidence of voter fraud in more than 60 cases brought before the courts. It's just being used to distract Americans from the real issues impacting the lives of Americans

“Yeah the stuff Maduro told us checks out. The Fulton County machines were all rigged and being controlled by foreign countries. We caught em red handed and have all the evidence.”

@RupertLowe10 It's not a religious thing. My grandfather married a cousin back in the late 19th century when he came out from England to live with her family in Tasmania. It was legal and not uncommon in British society and probably still isnt.

Cousin marriage. It should be banned. I don’t care about religious customs. It’s wrong, it’s dangerous and it’s distinctly un-British. To be blunt, stop having children with your relatives. It’s really not that complicated.

@Loud_Lass Not to mention that polling suggests Labor is on track to increase its majority at the next election with a predicted 56% two party preferred vote. People don't want Gina running the country.

Reality check needed #auspol

@BrianTamakiNZ You revealed your toxic character, resentment, ethnic/religious intollerance and irrational motivation in one phrase, "a Muslim Superintendent". Would it have been important to you if she was a Jew or a Catholic? Nah, youre just another dumb prick looking for five minutes of fame

MEDIA STATEMENT FROM BRIAN TAMAKI: Today, we have a Muslim Superintendent using her authority to threaten Kiwis for protesting mass immigration and standing to Keep NZ, NZ. With everything I’ve said, the point is simple: turn up to Victoria Park and let the police sweat it out. I am not a law-breaker. I’ve run more peaceful protests than the years Naila Hassan has been a cop. We are gathering at Victoria Park for a peaceful, family-friendly protest…we are never violent. Our long history proves that. I’ve never seen a protest so controlled and restricted. I am putting Kiwis First, and from every angle, they are trying to block us. The government and police don’t like the narrative. They’ve talked enforcement, riot squads, paddy wagons and intimidation…not because of violence or public safety, but because of the public issues we are challenging. It was clear some time ago that police were preparing to block access to the bridge, even before we had a chance to submit a traffic management plan. That’s why I’ve consistently called people to gather at Victoria Park at 11am. This is about presence, not permission. Police have known about the clip-on issues since 2023, yet they allowed Toitū te Tiriti and Pro-Palestinian protests to proceed. Even the Auckland Marathon. That’s not safety…that’s selective policing. So I warmly invite Superintendent Hassan to come down to Victoria Park this Saturday, face the crowd, and explain why others are allowed to protest across the Harbour Bridge…but Kiwi Patriots standing up for their own country are not. She owes me an apology for how we’ve been treated. Instead, she’s trying to discourage people from even turning up. Any Kiwi who can see the injustice should be there this Saturday. Turn up, stand firm, and let the police explain their actions. The Freedoms and Rights Coalition will be referring this matter to the IPCA, for a full investigation into this two-tier policing. Nothing has changed. This is still all go. Victoria Park. Saturday. 11am. Peaceful, family-friendly, and lawful. We will turn up, stand together, and be heard.

@TrumpBarron_Q Like so many of these sensationalist announcements, they never proceed beyond the headlines. They are just strategic distractions.

In a jaw-dropping announcement, President Trump disclosed that George Soros and Reid Hoffman are funding Antifa and the left-wing violence against ICE. Trump vows to launch a RICO investigation into George Soros. Does Trump have your full support on this? A. YES B. NO

@TrumpBarron_Q Let me get this straight. Trump says these blokes are doing something wrong so he will launch an investigation. There's a pattern here. First you convict them in the court of public opinion and then you announce the investigation which ultimately doesn't happen.

@AngusTaylorMP So what?

Andrew Hastie is many things: a former SAS soldier, a loving father and husband, and a fierce intellect. He is a patriot committed to tackling the big problems our country faces, and I share many of his views on reducing immigration, restoring cheap energy, reviving Australian industry, and rebuilding national pride. An individual of his abilities and principles has much to contribute on the front lines of our fight for the promise of Australia and to ensure that our best days lie ahead. My colleague and friend is a great asset to the Liberal cause, with formidable strengths and an unwavering commitment to serving our country. #auspol

@BelannF @EricLDaugh It's YOUR money, not the IRS's.😂

@EricLDaugh Whoever leaked them should be fired - BUT - they will be more careful when they have to pay that kind of money for leaking.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump and his sons are suing the IRS and Treasury for $10 BILLION DOLLARS over the leaking of his tax records YES! It's time for everybody who wronged President Trump to FAFO, INCLUDING the IRS. 🔥🔥 “The IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then illegally released to millions of people.”

@jenrenee @EricLDaugh It's one more way for the Trump mafia to take money from the American people. If successful, and the IRS has to pay up, that's YOUR taxes going directly into the Trump family coffers. Trump and hos family are making themselves mega rich from litigation.

@EricLDaugh That’s one way to start getting rid of the IRS

@WallWall39796 @sussanley But it proves renewables are effective and are contributing towards moderating rising cost in other parts of the service provision. They are not contributing to rising household bills. We'd be further up the creek without renewables

@phlogga @sussanley That headline is misleading. Retail electricity prices have gone up significantly. Wholesale prices have fallen, largely due to subsidies and oversupply at odd times.

ICYMI, inflation is getting worse under Labor, and that is putting upward pressure on the cash rate and household budgets right across the country. The average mortgage holder is already paying around $21,000 a year more in interest on their home loan than they were under the Liberals. For renters, the pain is just as real, with rents up 22 per cent under Labor. This government talks about helping families, but when it cannot rein in inflationary spending, it is working Australians who pay the price. Only the Liberal Party will get spending under control, ease cost of living pressures, and make sure Australians get to keep more of what they work so hard to earn.

@OneNationAus Nah, you're making this crap up. Legitimate surveys show One Nation rising but you'll never form government.

Let’s be honest. Labor and the Liberals are so blended together now, no one knows what colour the major parties even are anymore. One Nation stands apart. Pauline Hanson stands above the rest. Polling is polling, but this graph shows where Pauline belongs after decades of hard work. Leading the pack. This is not a bar graph, it is an illustration.

@jakeshieldsajj H3 incited hate with intent in a public forum. Lock the cunt up for 10 years.

In Australia, an indian is arresting an Australian because he offended jews

@_Postive_Vibes Oh yeah? Let's see it. 😂

🚨ALERT: In a jaw-dropping disclosure, DNI Tulsi Gabbard has revealed declassified documents exposing how Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey "manufactured a false intelligence dossier" aimed at "discrediting Trump's presidency" and seizing the White House.

@Zimmlaw175 If thats what you call defending civilisation, call me a barbarian

@OneNationAus Not if this chart represents their mathematical literacy.

@2GB873 This sort of irrational spite does not help dampen the anti semitic scourge. I can understand the parents' grief, but there is no logic or justification for them to claim Albo has deserted their daughter. It's irresponsible and dangerous for 2GB to even promote it.

The parents of the youngest victim of the Bondi terror attack have taken aim at the PM. They say 10-year-old Matilda has been “betrayed” by Anthony Albanese. MORE: brnw.ch/21wZvzT

@senbmckenzie For your information.

LABOR’S SPENDING 📈 = INFLATION UP 📈 = RATE RISE 📈 Australia’s inflation is higher than every comparable country. The responsibility for this lies squarely at the feet of the Albanese Government. Jim Chalmers MP, get your spending under control. Mortgage payments, groceries and power bills are all set to go higher this year unless Labor acts. #Auspol2026 #auspol
