Wait… now those were his jobs?!

@cgay_51 @RonniSalt He went into government to destroy government from the inside.

@RonniSalt And this guy, who has said he doesn’t trust government, is still taking money from the Government as an MP & enjoys all the trappings of being an ex-PM with gold card travel, etc. so much for not trusting government. Only when it suits him. He’s a weasel.

There is so much more to this escapade than just Scott Morrison repulsing Australians again. You have to understand him to really see what this is about. What you're seeing here is 2 things. 1 - it's the real Scott Morrison. This is how he fancies himself, the messianic leader

@RonniSalt I like the way you write about what you see. The painful beauty of life. Your description of Tom 'the Dark Corner Man' will stay with me forever.

The very talented Dave Milbo has revealed that he is writing a book. I admire his discipline and talent enormously. I've been *asked* to write a book (non-fiction'ish) but I have no idea what to write about, or what style. Taking suggestions below - please and thank you 🙏🏽

Narrator: And thus dear reader, it came to pass that verily - they did. 🙏🏽

@DiZPeach @Ben_Davison1 @RonniSalt @smh How does he keep his job? I think he is doing exactly what he was hired to do.

@Ben_Davison1 @RonniSalt @smh Seriously how does he keep his job? Is this the direction the SMH want to go. Must not be any journalist positions anywhere, who would want to work in that sort of environment.

In just six months Bevan’s @smh has: -Run Liberal Party lines by calling a lockout a strike (overruling his journos) -Outed Rebel Wilson (then thrown journo under the bus) -Used the word “sniper” in a headline about our PM the day after an international political assassination

@stu6162 @JosephArmand1 @JaquelineOutram Give him a chance? Give us a break...

@JosephArmand1 @JaquelineOutram Dutton is the leader that best represents the current LNP. He is around for a while. Maybe the major papers will take a break from opinion polls to give him a chance.

What are the chances Dutton will resign upon his return from holidays? I give it 50:50 🤔

@marquelawyers 🤣

It’s like Nine has a department dedicated to ensuring irony stays dead

@hughriminton Understand the Senator is making a political point here but this is a little misleading. First of all, the number being cited is first preferences only. Australia has preferential voting. Second, we don't have one national vote, we have 151 separate House elections.

When men talk about protecting women and children (see Peter Dutton & many on the right) do they ever think about who they seek to protect women &children from? Hint: it's almost always men. We don't want a world where we need protecting. We want a world where we are respected

@ladystardust64 @noplaceforsheep I'm not one bit surprised

Did Maiden really try to dismiss Plibersek's portfolio by calling it "looking after furry animals?"

@Madrabbitohpj @Serby2010 @kevinbonham David Littleproud has stated that this result is a mandate for the ALP to implement their policies.

@Serby2010 @kevinbonham And that 76 seats was declared a clear mandate I remember from the MSM

Following a #Newspoll with ALP 36% Chris Uhlmann said "neither [major party] can form government in their own right from there." The ABC has now called that Labor has won a majority from 32.8%.

Mr Inclusive lost two of the flags

@Neopseudo @DontVoteLibs @fromthewonni @rick_rampal Then why doea the AEC have a count of any seats at all?

Why have the AEC taken a seat away from the ALP, from 75 to 74?

@jason_king72 @marquelawyers That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

@PbPbaddock @marquelawyers In light of the Uvalde shooting, the original post here seemed to imply that being shot meant shot by others ie homicide. If you include suicide then it is more believable.

The leading cause of death of American children is being shot.

@MColvinMcKenzie @DavidGr07837209 I wonder if you'll get a response Michelle?

Should the voting age be decreased to 16 and capped at 75?

@jason_king72 @marquelawyers Your point?

@marquelawyers Ok. I see that this includes suicide.

While a lot of analysis has been on the campaign and what went right & wrong and where Australia is now, as naturally it should, I took a look back at what we have all been through. A requiem for over three lost years, (with a nod to Henry Lawson) 🙏🏽 theshot.net.au/opinion-news/r…

@JJKALE2 You can add Annabelle Crabb to the list

So far Chris Uhlmann, Samantha Maiden and Lisa Millar have told us that Peter Dutton is a decent man. I'm keeping tabs.

The fact that Peter Dutton walked out on the apology to the Stolen Generations tells you everything you need to know about his character and values.

@RavenZech2 I might have to rethink my tweet re Jason Clare after seeing this star in action …
