@ozsilverfox @NicolleFlint @thenightlyau The Australian Federal Police (AFP) said in November 2018 it had received a referral to investigate alleged war crimes by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan. Who was in power in 2018?

@NicolleFlint @thenightlyau Nicolle! Australian will opposite this at the polling box. The silence voter will follow and vote One Nation unless the Liberal & Nationals parties come out with strong leadership NOW

Nicolle Flint@NicolleFlint·
The abhorrent manner of Ben Roberts-Smith arrest had all hallmarks of classic Russian & Chinese Communist tactics: ✅in front of his family ✅in public ✅media present ✅police refuse to comment: on the above & reporting by @thenightlyau that states Roberts-Smith repeatedly offered, in writing, through his lawyers, that he would make himself available for arrest any place any time & hand himself in. Is this ‘rule of law’? Or, is this another example of state power (& complicit media) exercising its might selectively? Feel free to come @ me as many already have. As a conservative Liberal I believe in convention, tradition & rule of law that means innocent until proven guilty, ensuring a fair trial, arresting people in a civilised manner when they are fully cooperative, & supporting & respecting our veterans to whom we owe our national security & our freedom.

Currently on a Virgin Australia Sydney -> Perth flight (5hrs) in business class. Hard to overstate how terrible this product is. Plane (Boeing 737-800) at least 13yrs old but feels 25. Seatbacks minimal recline. Tray tables broken. Only one option for meal in biz class, no opportunity to purchase more food. Inflight WiFi didn’t work half the flight. No TV/screen/entertainment provided. Nevertheless the flight is full 😳 not one I’ll be flying on again

@_overtonwindow @puppyeh1 From the explanation provided, Qantas is significantly better. 737 is good, A330 (for domestic) is very good

Farcical scenes from the Victorian Liberal Party today, and their “leader” has completely gone to ground. If Jess Wilson isn’t moaning about the govt, she’s not doing anything.

Free PT for a month takes pressure off the pump - and it starts today. It won't fix every problem, but it's immediate action we can take to help Victorians right now.

Free public transport has begun across Victoria today - here’s everything you need to know. Trains, trams and buses are free statewide until the end of April, across metro and regional areas. Commuters don’t need to touch on or off, with myki gates open and passes automatically paused. Extra services have been added in some areas to handle demand, with authorities monitoring busy lines and major works zones. Free travel does not include airport buses, ferries or privately-run services. Trips must be within Victoria, with limited exceptions for cross-border routes. For the latest on the fuel crisis: youtu.be/JOBK3UvGqtI

@PhoenixBlue888 @JacintaAllanMP Then look at that there’s ‘no additional charge’. And, by anecdotal reports of train usage this morning a lot of people are taking advantage of the ‘no additional charge’ saving on fuel!

“I am frustrated about this, my team is frustrated about this..” OL Jess Wilson on the pre-selection mess involving the man who beat Moira Deeming on Sunday. “I’m not pretending this is not incredibly frustrating”.

@Blake_LlamaMYP If it has boomed on the first morning then yes, extra services would be great and/or some flexibility in when people start & finish work

@DrewPavlou To build 150 metro stations like London or Paris you need medium to high density housing (like Paris)

My three biggest dreams for Australia over the next 30 years: - Build 150 subway stations across the five major Australian cities. Bring the Paris/London/NYC metro to Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane. - Build high speed rail down entire eastern seaboard. Brisbane to the Gold Coast in 15 minutes. Sydney to Melbourne in 1.5 hours. - Build 50 nuclear power plants like France - decarbonise our entire energy grid while making ourselves completely self sufficient in energy for the next 100 years

Every prev US pres accepted limits on support for Israel. Not this incipient fascist. As we see rising unemployment and inflation, swelling refugee flows, rampart populism undermining our politics, put the blame where it lies: the Netanyahu-Trump alliance, an actual axis of evil
Bob Carr@bobjcarr

Sun headline from NYT: “US Marines arrive in M East as Houthis Enter War.” Have we slipped into a nightmare universe? As revealed last week Mossad advised Netanyahu that war would quickly see the mullahs displaced. He persuaded Trump. War came. & the mullahs tightened their grip

@aaronsmith @LNPvoterfail He unraveled and it turned into a train wreck. He tried to make out there was corruption / bad things going on and thought better of that approach but couldn’t turn back

Do the Liberals ever think past the first sound bite? Watching Hastie completely unravel the second he faces a basic follow-up is embarrassing. Why are they like this?

It really pisses me off that Greg Sheridan and other commentators can repeat Trump's complete lies about Iran as though they were factual, and nobody says a word. You are all as bad as each other. #insiders #auspol #abcnews
