@BobBurn97207272 OMG I can’t believe this ridiculous post and even more ridiculous comments! WTF?

An unbelievable “system” is running in Australia right now! No fuss straight talk
Have you ever heard of someone spending years campaigning against an institution, and then being appointed to represent that very institution?
That is exactly the controversy many people are talking about in Australian politics today. Meet Governor-General Samantha Mostyn, whose removal is now heavily trending across social media.
Here’s the timeline people are discussing:
What is the role?
The Governor-General is expected to remain completely neutral while representing King Charles in Australia.
Why the controversy?
Critics point out that Samantha Mostyn previously supported the movement to turn Australia into a republic and remove the British monarchy from the system.
More backlash online
Old social media posts are being widely shared where she referred to Australia Day as “Invasion Day,” which has sparked major debate online.
Straight talk:
Many Australians and opposition voices argue that the Governor-General should stay completely above politics. Critics claim the position now appears politically influenced instead of fully neutral.
As political tensions continue to rise, social media users are openly demanding accountability and questioning whether she should remain in the role.
What do YOU think?
Does someone with controversial political views belong in such a powerful constitutional position?

THESE ARE WAR CRIMES. KILLING CHILDREN ARE WAR CRIMES. KILLING CIVILIANS UNDER A CEASEFIRE ARE WAR CRIMES.
EXPEL THE ISRAELI AMBASSADOR TO AUSTRALIA TODAY. PLEASE RE-TWEET IF YOU AGREE.

Israel killed every single child in this photo today alone in Lebanon. Every. Single. One. More than 18 children massacred in less than 24 hours.

MESSAGE
I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.
Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.
An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.
I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

@StateSEAS If that happened, it is wrong and the person held accountable, this happens to many of our First Nations’ people on a regular basis however we don’t hear boo about it.

For too long, Australian authorities have turned a blind eye to rising antisemitism.
On Saturday, a teenager in Victoria was attacked for wearing a yarmulke and carrying an Israeli flag. I thank Victoria Police for investigating this cowardly attack and urge them to hold the perpetrator accountable.

@TrueEuropa @PaulineHansonOz Please explain the actions she takes to put Australia first, I don’t mind waiting

@PaulineHansonOz One Nation is the only party left that actually puts Aussies FIRST.
Go Pauline! Go One Nation!

Australians have been left behind by elites who treat the population like mugs.
Liberal and Labor have always failed to deliver for the country. It doesn’t matter what they say - their track records speak for themselves. Australians are dealing with the consequences of major party governments every day when they’re trying to afford housing and grocery bills.
It’s time for big change to put the voices of Australians front and centre in our Parliament. That’s One Nation’s mission.

@David47883987 @emilyjuniper_ @PaulineHansonOz Tell me more David, I want specifics, detail, evidence, you know the sort of information that is credible

@emilyjuniper_ @PaulineHansonOz Pauline has always fought tooth and nail, for all Australia’s.
One Nation is our best and only hope 👊🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

No surprise she's surging in the polls. She consistently challenges the elite agenda on immigration, abortion, and beyond. Thank you @PaulineHansonOz for standing up and saying what so many ordinary Australians cannot. 🧡
English

@emilyjuniper_ @PaulineHansonOz Do you really believe what she says about being able to have an abortion up until the day before birth? 🤦♀️🤷♀️ I can’t believe any reasonable thinking person would think what she’s saying is true!!
English

@TheKennyDevine OMG does she even reasonably think that would happen? Sounds like a ‘sh*t for brains’ comment from Poorleen

@HonTonyAbbott Really Tony, did you ever let her know those positive thoughts you had of her?

Sussan Ley deserves to be well remembered as the 16th leader of the Liberal Party, a successful minister, and a hard working and long serving local MP.
It was never going to be easy to lead the party after its worst ever defeat.
Sussan showed strong character and dignity, often under great pressure.
It was to her credit that she well managed the Net Zero debate and created a clear contrast with a government that’s let its emissions obsession do much economic self harm.
As John Howard once said, politics is a hard and unforgiving business but it’s the highest and noblest form of public service.
Sussan should be honoured for the duty she’s done and the service she’s given.

@Isaac_Herzog Here’s an idea - stop killing children and committing genocide!! I support the right of Israel to exist and I support the establishment of a Palestinian state. I don’t support illegal settlements and stealing Palestinian land

I thank Governor-General Sam Mostyn for the invitation to visit Australia and the beautiful reception in Canberra today.
During our meeting, we spoke at length about the importance of the fight against antisemitism in the aftermath of the Bondi terror attack.
We also discussed ways to reinvigorate relations between Israel and Australia in a wide range of fields, including technology, science, agriculture, and tourism.

@KobieThatcher They may actually be Australians practicing their religion. What are you afraid of?

Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."
RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!
