@PMalinauskasMP good

We’ve secured broad political support for our world leading move to ban political donations and will this week introduce legislation into the State Parliament to implement it. Because getting money out of politics is the right thing to do.

@QuentinDempster @PeterDutton_MP The issues were more nuanced than you think and also cross partisan boundaries. Knee jerk responses from either side and counter productive.

Murdoch ranter Piers Akerman is right: ⁦@PeterDutton_MP⁩ will be Australia’s next prime minister when he follows the “anti-woke” playbook of Trumpism. Anyone questioning Dutton/LNP is a “feminist”. Aussie women please note. Do what Mr Akerman and Mr Murdoch tell you to do.

@JaneCaro it makes me sick - what can be done?

All these schools receive millions in public funding & all are already overfunded according to their Schooling Resource Standard. Any attempt to cry poor is bullshit. smh.com.au/national/nsw/s…

@AaronDodd ah yes, but Albanese is not popular either.

Alan Kohler: Can Dutton do a Trump? Unlikely – a populist needs to be popular #auspol thenewdaily.com.au/finance/2024/1…

According to experts from @unimelb and @sydney_uni we need to get ready for an alarming future, where truth and science no longer matter. #Echobox=1731276882-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theconversation.com/if-trump-puts-…

@JayJay91341991 Its not a competition - they are both excellent and compliment each other.

FERGUSON vs TINGLE Who do you think is the better host of #abc730? 🤷‍♂️😊

@QuentinDempster Remember that Elon Musk's business is built around a response to climate change - theconversation.com/10-reasons-why…

After Trump’s win Australia’s National Party wants the Liberals to also pull out of the Paris climate change agreement and/or net zero by 2050 commitment. To make quick bucks by fracking + coal/gas exports the good ole Nats are like rats up a drainpipe. Biosphere? What’s that?

@EVERALDATLARGE That, with respect, is a simplistic take. Perhaps it was more about getting the message out than lack of awareness. Biden did a huge amount to build jobs in red states eg: newyorker.com/news/our-colum…

When #Clinton lost to #Trump in 2016 she said she was unaware that people on struggle street were so angry. Now #Harris says same thing. #Democrats have no idea who are their power base. Quite incredible.

This is not the way to go. Labor will lose votes @AlboMP - there are other, smarter ways to protect children.

Who do we seek to persuade? Wrote this interview with @WLouisUQ back in 2017 after #Trump was first elected and Pauline Hanson had done so well in Australian elections. Still has relevance I think. westendstreaming.com/seek-persuade-…

The tyrant doesn’t need a pretext for tyranny. And there is no point in appealing for justice when the oppressor intends on being unjust. True in Aesop’s time. True now

@TheAtlantic @FranklinFoer Why then are we all still on X??

Elon Musk has long dreamed of redesigning the world in his own extreme image, @FranklinFoer writes. Trump may be his Trojan horse: theatlantic.com/books/archive/…

Thanks for sanewashing & normalising Trump, western media. You failed to honour basic journalism & delivered potential, indescribable chaos to the world. But hey, there’ll be plenty to write about. “Hold truth to power,” my arse.

@NickBryantNY Good they have a US expert.

Delighted to be part of ABC’s US election special coverage. Great team. abc.net.au/about/media-ce…
