I now conclude my time as a Senator in the Federal Parliament. It’s been such a privilege to represent South Australia. Unconstrained by party lines, I never held back and I never voted against my conscience. I’m proud of what my team and I achieved. No regrets! #auspol

Defence has bungled its disastrous $1.9B munitions contract with Thales. If it struggles to effectively execute a program to build bullets, what hope does it have executing a program to build bespoke nuclear powered submarines? #AUKUS #HardTruths #auspol crikey.com.au/2026/07/14/def…

@MrRexPatrick Rex - if you get further north to Gatton or Laidley and would like to catch up for a coffee or lunch and a chat with a long term follower I would love to meet up.

@john_lyndondale @Petitioner007 @LouiseBeaston I should have said … slowly heading west. I’ll be in and around Dalby next week and will take a month or so to then get to CC. But I will keep an eye on the road’s status - thank you.

@MrRexPatrick @Petitioner007 @LouiseBeaston Rex You had better check the roads to Camerons corner, Live Traffic says it is still closed. We have just returned from northern Qld and had intended to go to Birdsville but had to go east.

@RussellHarris14 @AlboMP You completely miss the point. No-one is trying prohibit gambling, just the ADVERTISING of it (including to children). A bi-partisan House report recommended it be brought to end (the answer). @AlboMP CAN implement the recommendations, and IS TO BLAME for not doing so. #auspol

@MrRexPatrick @AlboMP Forget reports, people will do what they want to, when they want to, you cannot & will not stop them, my whole argument centers around you trying to blame one person for problems that have been around for hundreds of years. Give us answers not divisive questions!

Gambling may have been around forever, gambling advertising has not. Advertising spreads & amplifies the harm. @AlboMP is letting people suffer at the hands of wealthy profiteers? 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Research first, then tweet! Start with the ‘Murphy’ report #auspol 👉 aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_…

@MrRexPatrick @AlboMP Rex, who do you work for? Trying to blame one man for the trouble that has plagued the world for a lot of years is really low, gambling has been around forever & the Chinese have been doing this shit since Adam was a boy & will keep on doing what they please as they please!

Australia needs a new strategy for a new world: "the rules-based order is somewhat illusionary, & the US is, if not unreliable & untrustworthy, certainly less reliable & less trustworthy." Yet both are still pillars of Australia's plans, says Graeme Dunk strategicanalysis.org/australia-need…

Parents relaxing, kids playing, uni students chilling and couples romancing. Together with the chatting, laughing and (birds) singing it makes a great backdrop as I work on some complicated #FOI legal submissions. Bigriggen Camp Ground, Scenic Rim Region, QLD. #WorkFromRoam

The matter will be heard in Canberra (unusually) by three ART Deputy Presidents. An ASIS Deputy Director and DFAT Deputy Secretary will be cross examined. The Govt has engaged Senior Coun$el and the Australian Govt Solicitor to conceal the truth. 2/2 #auspol

#SaveTheDate: It’s only ASIS, @dfat and the delusioned who believe the immoral 2004 spying by the Howard Govt on #Timor-Leste’s maritime boundary negotiating team isn’t confirmed. Let’s see if the Tribunal will force them to come to terms with the truth. 1/2 #auspol

Twelve modern, stealthy, air independent propulsion subs for Canada for a reported cost of AUD$33B. And there’s a good chance Germany will delivery them. #AUKUS #auspol dw.com/en/canada-awar…

Three failed attempts by the Govt to keep from us how it approves or, less often, rejects foreign investment proposals. What’s next @AlboMP? A Federal Court appeal? Stop wasting OUR money on lawyers and start being transparent with US! #FOI #auspol michaelwest.com.au/baby-food-to-c…
