In 30 years of privatisation in Australia, there has not been a single case where the public would not have been at least as well off if the asset had remained in public ownership. Some like, CSL, Telstra and Commonwealth bank were spectacularly bad decisions.

The passages clearing Morrison of fault are extraordinary NACC says Morrison is technically "responsible" as cabinet Minister, but not "personally at fault" If responsibility exists without consequence...then what does "ministerial accountability" even mean anymore?

Justice! What justice. You can be a tamperer and get away with this abhorrent crime!!! Ian

He’s been looking in the mirror again and can’t believe how much a leader he looks. Unfortunately he’s too dim to realise he’s just not up to it!

@SaraJade_13 Cupboard or cabinet!

#JamesPaterson “Angus is the smartest policy brain in the cabinet.” 😳🤣

@KobieThatcher Put this on your wall!

At this point, I genuinely believe One Nation is our only shot at saving Australia.

Albanese unloads on the Liberals, saying it’s astonishing they are again prioritising their own internal issues on the day of their colleague Katie Allen’s funeral — after doing the same on Remembrance Day. “They’re a mess. That’s the truth.” 💥

🇦🇺🦘The US Embassy Asked Australians A Question. They Immediately Regretted It. The US Embassy in Australia posted what they thought was a helpful service announcement: "Planning to travel to the United States? Apply for Global Entry for faster processing at US airports." Five minutes later, the comment section looked like a crime scene. "No thanks. We've been watching how your border security operates." And that was one of the polite ones. When Australians Say What Everyone Else Is Thinking What the embassy got was a masterclass in Australian directness, that beautiful cultural trait where Australians say exactly what's on their mind with the confidence of a nation that's already survived everything trying to kill them. "Why would anyone want to go to the US right now?" "I'd rather go to China." "'Sup? Tourist arrivals down a bit? 🤣" No think pieces. No diplomatic hedging. Just Australians doing what they do best: cutting through the bullshit with the precision of a hot knife through butter. Canada suddenly became the hottest destination on Earth. In thirty seconds, Australians gave Canada more positive PR than their entire tourism board manages in a year. The Efficiency Pitch That Backfired Spectacularly The embassy was selling speed. Faster lines! Quicker processing! Skip the queue! Australians heard: "We can now reject you more efficiently." One person asked the real question: "Does this include snooping on five years' worth of my social media and expecting me to turn over the names of friends and family?" Another wanted to know if they'd be shot before or after the automated kiosk. Fair question, honestly. Someone else thoughtfully added: "Keep that comment on record for your review of my social media." That's peak Australian energy – not just brutally honest, but also doing the paperwork for you. Here's the thing that must have stung: Australians weren't furious. They were uninterested. The embassy didn't trigger outrage. They triggered the most devastating response possible: "Yeah, nah." When an Australian says "yeah nah," the conversation is done. Finished. No amount of convenience features will resurrect it. "There's plenty of other journeys to make, I'll head there first! Canada sounds nice." The post promised faster entry. Australians asked: Faster entry to what? An interrogation? A phone search? A political situation they'd prefer to watch from 10,000 miles away? As one person put it: "I grew up watching Disneyland, Hanna-Barbera, dreaming of visiting the US. I've travelled extensively to Europe & Asia... there's no way under your current situation would I consider it!" That's the sound of childhood dreams being archived in the "maybe later" folder. The Beautiful Chaos Of Australian Commentary American diplomacy runs on optimism and carefully crafted messaging. Australian social media runs on instinct, honesty, and the civic duty to warn others before they accidentally book flights. One person said: "Always wondered what it would be like in 1930s Germany. Guess now I can find out." "Not going through my email accounts for the last ten years. Go fuck yourselves." That second one really captures the Australian spirit: practical assessment followed by a firm boundary. What The Embassy Actually Discovered They discovered something important: Australians will absolutely tell you the truth, especially when you're not ready to hear it. They discovered that you can't marketing-speak your way past a reputation crisis. And they discovered that when you ask Australians for feedback, you should probably prepare for Australians to give you feedback. Raw, Real, unfiltered, sometimes profane, always honest feedback. The kind that comes from a nation that's geographically isolated enough to have perspective, culturally confident enough to share it, and collectively sunburned enough to have zero patience for nonsense. A Faster Way To Somewhere They're Not Going Global Entry now means something different to Australians: expedited processing for a trip they've already cancelled. The embassy promised efficiency. Australians responded with the most Australian thing possible – complete honesty delivered with zero corporate filter. And honestly? The world needs more of that energy. You've got to love Australians. They'll tell you exactly what they think, make you laugh while doing it, and somehow leave you feeling like you just got excellent advice. Even if that advice is: "Yeah nah, we're good thanks mate." 😂 Here is the original post: x.com/USEmbAustralia… Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

@g_gosden It’s what you get from excessive sun exposure

Early reviews are in: ‘Even if they showed this on a plane, people would still walk out’

@PressSec All of Europe is laughing at your mentally ill president. He is a disgrace to the USA.

"This wasn't my plan for the bill, but it has been magical to watch" - Albanese

This will piss off the RW knuckle dragging brinks 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wonder if @elonmusk will retweet these statistics... #ICE #Trump

Anybody who believes that the ALP "cranked up" immigration after they won power in 2022 so they would have more people to vote for them in the 2025 election has shit for brains.

One Nation voters vote for Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce because ' they're one of us'. The difference is that Hanson and Joyce get to fly on Rinehart's private jet , whereas you get to watch them board Gina's private jet. They have the Trump grift down pat!

Albanese “I am surprised that anyone could walk into parliament & vote against…” — a national gun buyback — closing loophole allowing non-citizens to get gun licence — strengthening customs to stop dangerous imports. Yes it will say a LOT about anyone who can’t support this.
