No surprise Howard & Costello’s predictable partisan rant in The Australian today fails to mention the $200b improvement in the Budget since Australian Labor came to office, or that we’ve found $92b in savings, or that we’ve got the debt down by $177b from what the last Liberal govt

Jim Chalmers MP Askgerbil Now The Australian Australian Labor The biggest taxing govt ( Howard and Costello) and biggest spending govt (Morrison and Frydenburg) were LNP governments. How dare they preach after the mess they have created and we are still suffering from! Infuriating

“Running the government like a business” is just another way of saying that we should privatize government services afforded to everyone. You know who would love that? Wall Street and big corporations. Don’t buy into the myth.

🎥 ACTUAL FOOTAGE: Senior ‘Journalist’ Deliberately Misleading Viewers #AndrewClennell didn’t forget #G7 protocol — he ignored it. That’s not journalism. That’s narrative laundering. He’s got 20 years in political reporting. Multiple G7s under his belt. He knows Australia never

The Lord Mayor of Australia’s richest and largest council, does the cap in hand routine once again to other levels of government after neglecting the Story Bridge for the last twenty years while in power. If you can’t keep your bridges up… brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queen…

Steve Bannon says Kayleigh McEnany is “infantile”, and says Fox and Sean Hannity should be investigated because their coverage on the Middle East suggests they represent a foreign government.

Get a load of this … David Crisafulli has changed the colour of the Qld Coat of Arms from the state colour, maroon, to blue, to better align with the LNP brand. Another self-indulgent waste of public money, right up there with renaming Cross River Rail the Elizabeth Line. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️
