@MarkDiStef He never really went away. Always lurking in the background ready to create trouble

Tone’s back babey

@simpsubhswf #Insiders is now quite simply 'The Murdoch Hour '

For goodness sake! The Australian PM is being awarded a prestigious prize by the UN and Samantha Maiden screws up her nose and says Australians will hate it. What happened to being proud of Australia’s achievements? Why are we such naysayers 😵‍💫#insiders

@sueroberts7 @samanthamaiden She's a Murdoch shill. That's it.

@samanthamaiden showing her true colors yet again having a go at Albo’s UN award saying it will play badly in Australia. Seriously? On top of that refers to Tony Abbott as ‘the great man’ 🤔 #insiders #auspol

@Gerrytbbw1960 @philmupp1 Absolutely he claimed the overnight allowance

@philmupp1 And he slept in a swag at the election on Saturday lmfao he would have claimed the whole fucking kaboosh

So the LNP who did sweet feck all for inland rail since bringing the concept forward now want to rescue the inland rail . And they wonder why One Nation are dragging voters away from them. Their thought processes have been derailed.

@philmupp1 The United Agrarian Socialist Grifters Party want socialism for their constituency, capitalism for everyone else.

@MikeCarlton01 Yeah coz @HonTonyAbbott really knows how to wreck the joint. It's what he does best.

The Liberals suffer a crushing, humiliating defeat in Farrer. So what is the way forward, where is the road back ? Let’s make Tony Abbott the party President !

@PeterCronau It's fine. Make the battlers fix inflation that big corporations imposed deliberately. Just don't touch the tax settings that deliver handsomely for wealthy investors. Socialism for the rich and capitalism for Struggle Street. Straya.

Welcome to a broken Australia. ▪️The community seems to be just a tag-along annoyance to the people ruling us. ▪️The RBA rate rise slams the community, while the budget looks to throw them pennies. ▪️Meanwhile, the foreign extraction of our wealth continues, the country is becoming a foreign military base, as our neoliberal economic managers grind us down. Homelessness explosion: “Three million people were at risk of homelessness, where one setback like job loss or illness could mean losing their home — up 63% since 2016 to 2022. “Rental stress is worsening and lasting longer. In 2023, 54% of low-income renters were in rental stress, with 21% paying more than half their income in rent — the highest rate in a decade. “Rental stress is driving homelessness. Between 2020 and 2023, the number of people seeking help because they couldn’t afford housing jumped 36%.” homelessnessaustralia.org.au/wp-content/upl…

@QuentinDempster Is anyone else thinking, malignant narcissist?

Tony Abbott to become president of the Liberal Party of Australia? Yes Tony’s a ‘battlelines’ political warrior but outpacing Porleen’s One Nation will require grass roots rebuilding of this once great party .. not more fear/hate/prejudice methodology.

@ERN_Malleyscrub @AaronDodd @MelAnalyst Blue ties to be made compulsory for all male Lib MPs. Blue jackets for women, only 2 or 3 needed.

@AaronDodd @MelAnalyst First action of Liberal Party under Tony Abbott : Put official portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth in every school classroom. ….er, wait a minute…. ,…,…. what? …hang about

Apparently the future of the Liberal Party is a proven failure. A man who wants Australia to return to the heady days of 1956. This will be the end of them. #auspol

@AaronDodd He's gonna be dyeing his hair forever.

@MikeCarlton01 Excellent. He's just the man for the job. He knows how to keep them out of office for a generation. Just look at his record.

Excellent idea ! A stroke of genius !smh.com.au/politics/feder…

@hughriminton @HonTonyAbbott has been a life long wrecker, and he's still going strong in wrecking. He should start a wrecking company, that's what he's good at.

Nationals Leader Matt Canavan says the Albanese govt could appoint Tony Abbott as a special envoy to address aboriginal disadvantage in Central Australia. #Insiders

@AmeliaBee7 Poorleen Temu Trump got a plane too, just like her mentor Trumpster! It's the Grifter Society. Hooray.

Bragging about blatant corruption She really is the poor man’s Trump

@markbouris Howard used race and xenophobia for political advantage throughout his career. increased socialism for the rich and capitalism for Struggle Street, entrenched inequality for generations, locked out young generations from home ownership. Torpedoed the Republic referendum. FFS.

What a treat on Anzac Day . When John Howard was PM we had a surplus in the budget , no national debt .. yep zero , and productivity was up and we were the envy of the world economically .

@NotGlynis27 @blakandblack Howard used race and xenophobia and culture wars for political advantage throughout his career. Thanks for nothing Howard.

@blakandblack I am now 72. When I was growing up and as a young adult, ANZAC day was not really a thing. We all wanted the Vietnam War to stop. We all sang 'I was Only 19'. Little Johnny Howard started the nationalistic nonsense and brought back vile racism to the mainstream.

Every Anzac Day, Australia performs a ritual whose contradictions grow more glaring. Dawn service. The Last Post. Wreaths and solemn speeches about sacrifice. Then — before the bugle echo has faded — the same voices begin rattling sabres toward the next war, insisting that hesitation dishonours the previous fallen. That logic has a name. It is not honour. It is conscription of the dead into the service of the living war-makers. Achilles knew it. In the underworld he tells Odysseus — who has just praised his immortal glory — that he would rather be a nobody alive than a king among the glorious dead. Three thousand years ago. Still waiting for a politician to read it. #comment-14717" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">blakandblack.com/2026/04/23/les…

@lesstenny @David_Speers full gotcha today. could see the tension in his face, determined to corner Marles. It's totally inappropriate and not what the taxpayer deserves from the public broadcaster.The issues are so complex and fraught with diplomatic and national security ramifications.

Anyone like me, I used to love #insiders, probably almost 10 years ago now.. I sometimes now turn it off.. I'm also missing Barrie Cassidy hosting it #auspol

@crikey_news Grifternomics is the new normal

Opinion | “Give them a good pension. Give them a nice office. Give them the trappings of being somebody important … But ban them from working in anything remotely associated with government policy.” #Echobox=1751350674-3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">crikey.com.au/2025/07/01/pri…

@crikey_news Australia is a grifters paradise

@DavidPocock Maybe the big end of town should have a haircut and help with the cost of living crisis, inflation, interest rates. Why should the mortgage belt and the battlers get slugged to fix the economy? Socialism for the well off and capitalism for the battlers.

Seven departmental secretaries are clearing over $1 million a year, which is nearly ten times the average Australian wage. It's time for a serious look at whether that's justified. I welcome the Remuneration Tribunal reviewing salaries that are out of line with what Australians expect. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

@Pontifex A lot of wealth in The RC Church too. Especially in the Vatican.

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.
