@joncoopertweets My brother is MAGA. it’s completely changed how,I feel,about him. I have zero desire to see him which is super sad. I used to really like him.

Serious question: If you’re a Democrat or liberal, but your spouse is MAGA … how do you actually make your marriage work? I’m genuinely curious — I don’t think I could do it.

@Lisa9Sophia Team Tame!

The People’s Hero vs Labor’s Hero

@MikeCarlton01 @Lionheart21112 @SenatorWong She’ll go up and ask for his autograph and a selfie

The blood-drenched Butcher Netanyahu is due to address the UN General Assembly at 11 pm tonight our time. I really do hope that the Australian delegation walks out on him, with the rest of the civilised world. @SenatorWong RT if you agree.

Susan Coyle and Ken Gillespie, both Lt Generals who became Army Chief. He led the 3rd Combat Engineer Regiment, deployed in Afghanistan. She led the 1st Combat Signal Regiment, deployed in the Solomons. Both led combat regiments. The difference? One's a woman. Butthurt boys

@SimonCotter62 Exactly how many theatres of war have you served and led in?

@SimonCotter62 She has more bravery and intelligence in her little toe, than you can ever conceive of. What entitles you to belittle the services of an active serving member?

@DavoDavis03 @2GB873 I served as a commissioned officer. Did you? I don’t recall crying behind any men and I don’t recall seeing you there

@Donski1 @2GB873 Until you need us men when war breaks out. Lol. You’re all tough and mouthy when it’s peaceful but when shit hits the fan you’ll be crying behind us men. Think about that.

Lieutenant General Susan Coyle is the first woman to lead the Australian Army. MORE: nine.social/174x

@LdogExtreme She has more intelligence and bravery in her little toe than you can conceive of. What entitles you to belittle a serving soldiers achievements?

The simple fact that the clowns in government, feel the need to justify this, shows Australia knows this is a shocking decision. Would the cohort of men who could be conscripted follow HER into battle? lol no.

@DianaBaz_ @Kagan_M_Dunlap To jump straight to the assumption that she achieved the position based on gender as opposed to merit is a derogatory one. You didn’t assume that about the other appointees. Your assumption was sexist.

@Donski1 @Kagan_M_Dunlap Not really. I am all for equality based on merit. If her credentials are the best, then fantastic 👏 Unfortunately, most female ministers & bureaucrats that have been hired by labour show DEI quotas to appease a minority. This is more destructive to women & their achievements.

Lieutenant General Susan May Coyle Will Be The First Woman To Lead The Australian Army in its 125-Year History.

@EarthedMan @news_australian Read her resume. She has been in every active theatre of war Australia has been in, over the duration of her 30plus year career

@Donski1 @news_australian Its the army , its a relevant question of whether she's been in any actual fighting with bullets and bombs trying to kill her.

BREAKING: Do you think that the Chief of Army doesn’t need to have direct combat experience as long as she’s a woman like Susan Coyle? Is a DEI military going to make Australia safer? DISCUSS👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 #auspol #susancoyle #DEI

@KobieThatcher Internalised misogyny at work.

Let's be real. No serious person thinks a woman can lead an army better than a man.

@DianaBaz_ @Kagan_M_Dunlap You didn’t question the other appointments. You don’t bother to check her resume, you went straight for the derogatory assumption.

@EarthedMan @news_australian There are many previous occupiers of this role who didn’t have that experience. They of course, weren’t hassled about it

@Lisa9Sophia Women pulling down women - internalised misogyny is the worst kind

Lt Gen Susan Coyle is Chief of the Australian Army Her official records show - -no combat arms service -no personal weapon use in defence -no instances of being under enemy small arms fire A Chief of the Army who has never experienced direct combat action. Let that sink in. She does however do a wicked Welcome to Country, very often

@DianaBaz_ @Kagan_M_Dunlap Women pulling down women - internalised misogyny is the worst kind

@Kagan_M_Dunlap I didn't know she trained in the US... maybe it's changing my opinion. But the only thing I can think is that it is a DEI hire.... but it's really making me think 🤔 ! FYI the gov has made dumb, stupid & weakening decisions for a very long time. They have weakened this country

@goodfoodgal Women pulling down women - Internalised misogyny is the saddest kind

I’m going a hard NO on this new ADF chief.

Well, Well, she has never -- >Been in a theatre of War. >No combat arms service. >Never been under enemy fire. >No personal weapon use in defence. >Never been under enemy fire. Let that sink in, but she does do a wicked "Welcome to Country" at every chance she gets.

@PeterWallaceAU Go and read her resume. You’re not worthy to tie her shoelaces.

Australia’s new Army Chief. I’ve never heard of her, but the first worlds I’ve heard out of her mouth today is a welcome to country, while Ben Roberts-Smith sits in a prison cell. I wonder how many bad guys she’s taken out.

@lauren_vasiliou @theheraldsun Internalised misogyny is the saddest kind

@theheraldsun As a woman i am going to say that our military, police force etc should be lead by strong males. Too many women are bleeding hearts and go by feelings over facts.

Anthony Albanese has appointed Australia’s first female army chief in a major shake-up only days after the Australian Defence Force was rocked by the arrest of Ben Roberts-Smith. Lieutenant General Susan Coyle was named as the new Chief of Army on Monday. She takes over from Lieutenant General Simon Stuart AO, who had served in the role since 2022. > bit.ly/4270b1O
