A critical failing of the opposition in 2023 has been its negativity over the imperative of energy transition, writes John Hewson. Its opportunistic stance on nuclear energy is of particular concern. satpa.pe/pbkGXfj

Peter Dutton has been acutely sensitive to criticism of his incompetent performance as Minister for Home Affairs in the Morrison government, writes John Hewson. “The establishment of this department was little more than a massive power grab by Dutton.” satpa.pe/tm1TkSm

The camaraderie between the Australian Cricket Team and the Pakistan Cricket Team this summer has been a great example of how sport can bring people together. On and off the field, they’ve shown how competition and friendship make sport so enjoyable for us all.

.Barnaby Joyce, a twitter lesson. Yes, 340k views, but only 86 likes. That means, only 2.5 people in every 10,000 who viewed your tweet pressed 'like'. That is 'huge', but in an opposite way to what you'd hoped. It's hugely bad.

How the fuck do we live in a world where men will carefully police what their teen daughter wears & where she goes because they “know what men are like” but then become mortally offended at feminists when we point out the regularity of male harassment & violence? #NewsCorpse

The thoughts of Australians are with the people of Japan at this difficult time. We are saddened to see the loss of life and destruction following yesterday’s earthquakes. As close friends, we stand ready to support Japan to provide any necessary assistance.

At the last election, when Angus Taylor was one of the worst ministers in the Morrison Government, real wages were falling 3.4%. Now we’ve had two consecutive quarters of real wages growth. Quarterly inflation was higher, and wages growth was lower, under the Liberals. #auspol

So in recent weeks, Lehrmann's house has been pelted with eggs, a neigbour's car was mistakenly covered in prawn shells and he was hounded from the cricket by a group of vigilantes. Surprisingly, none of the CCTV footage of these incidents has gone missing.

We’ll do everything we can to help Queensland’s flood affected communities on the road to recovery.

The Liberal Party, at both a state and federal level, is utterly toxic. Divisive, hateful, sexist, racist, bigoted, fear-mongerers. 😠 #auspol

Don’t you love it? …Speers looking like he was sucking on a lemon while Twiggy Forrest gave him a gentle intellectual berating over his nuclear energy push. You must’ve seen it? …It’s the most views the plonker’s ever had! 😇😇😇

AUSTRALIA'S only Liberal government will allow public servants to choose their own Australia Day date as the 26th continues to fall out of favour. The move by the Tasmanian Government—the most senior ranking Liberals in Australia—is at odds with Peter Dutton's recent rants.

10 minutes of news I tolerated today, spread over three channels. There was no good news, just heaps of mountains made out of molehills. I kid you not! why Australian Labor are so soft on the MSM & ABC News is beyond me? They are absolutely brutal! 😇😇😇

Amazing how the ABC MD and Chair leap into action to sack one employee when a handful of complaints come from powerful Jewish lobbyists. Yet another employee like Speers is complained about by thousands of viewers every single week, and they look the other way.
