Does Linda Reynolds seriously think she is so entitled that she's exempt from accountability? Her deletion of dubious texts to Lehrmann's barrister was dismissed as "cyber hygiene" – yet Brittany Higgins' deletions are branded "destruction of evidence". Flagrant hypocrisy #auspol

In his inaugural speech, Liberal MP Rory Amon warned: "There are some truly horrible people in the world." Now facing 10 counts of child sexual assault offences, it turns out he was one. A vile, egregious abuse of power. And Dutton wants you alarmed by Gaza refugees... #auspol

It takes a unique strain of inane to link migration policy to the CFMEU & yoga teachers – a task too easy for Andrew Bragg (matched only by Speers' failure to press for proof). Mindless drivel, distinctive of the LNP. Laura Tingle's sheer bafflement says it all #insiders #auspol

You'd think Speers flagging the NSW Liberals' "rough few weeks" was a segue to probe Andrew Bragg on Rory Amon's child sex charges. But no. Back to the well-trodden missed election deadline. The ABC's selective journalism: reiterating LNP protection is priority #insiders #auspol

Not sure what's funnier: NSW Liberals "begging Dutton to step in" after their election blunder (before a clip of a swan's bum flash – a metaphor?), or #abc730 devoting more airtime to the saga, perhaps to distract from Rory Amon's charges, as if viewers wouldn't notice... #auspol

"Problematic, unreliable, self-serving." Brittany Higgins' lawyer in a meticulous, unyielding rebuke of Linda Reynolds' evidence, rife with its flaws & self-interest. Reynolds slyly linking Higgins' Lehrmann claims to Senator Kitching's unrelated death is a prime example #auspol

The ABC's pursuit of intellectual depth reaches its zenith: Sarah Ferguson: "Does Trump really wear a girdle?" Anthony Scaramucci: "On certain days, yes. He hates side photos, looks too fat from the side... A lot of time on hair, orange warpaint, 2-inch heels." #abc730 #auspol

As Bill Shorten exits politics, Australia loses a loyal champion of working people, a genuine advocate for the NDIS as well as disabled equality & a fervent Labor leader who stood up to Robodebt. Shame many Australians missed his vast ability, blinded by Morrison's deceit #auspol

Ugandan Olympic runner Rebecca Cheptegei had a right to feel safe – not least by someone she trusted. Instead, after returning from church with her daughters, her ex-boyfriend set her on fire. Another woman — murdered. Violence against women is beyond crisis point #VAW #auspol

"Mr Morrison, you are a bottomless well of self-pity with not a drop of mercy for the victims of Robodebt." A Bill Shorten moment worth immortalising. One where, with fierce fervour & moral outrage, the NDIS Minister savaged smirking Scott & his corrupt LNP cartel. Bravo #auspol

Beyond being grotesquely disrespectful, Sky News' pathetic take on Brittany Higgins' home is a stark reminder of Murdoch's vile agenda & trash "journalism". They'll hound & harass a pregnant rape survivor — never such an insult for Linda Reynolds or rapist Bruce Lehrmann #auspol

"Why is Dutton still the go-to on national security?" A salient question from Laura Tingle in the wake of Dutton's Gaza refugee ban. Indeed, as she notes, it's unmerited kudos when he's "ignored ASIO advice" & "undermined" them. Any thoughts, LNP-fawning media? #auspol #abc730

"Our opponents & critics desperately want Labor to be in recession for political reasons. They're very disappointed that we're not." Always a joy seeing Jim Chalmers fire LNP truth bombs, challenge Speers head-on & outshine Angus Taylor in every way imaginable. #insiders #auspol

Remarkable that after dumping Morrison's economic mess on Labor, Angus Taylor still spews his "2 years of wrong decisions" spiel & this inanity, pushed by Speers & the ABC: "Labor's economic failures are coming home to roost!" An agonising contrast to Chalmers #insiders #auspol

With unflinching accuracy, Niki Savva unmasks Australia's media game: "The Murdoch empire continues its mission to emasculate the ABC, at times ably assisted by the ABC," which "wilts" under pressure from politicians. The attacks on Laura Tingle. Endless "Dutton says". #auspol

"We want to see evolution, not revolution!" Slogan pundit Angus Taylor gifts yet another pointless catchphrase in another pointless ramble, whining about Chalmers' "war on words", the RBA & "high" inflation. Sarah Ferguson: "I'd ask you stay with the question." #abc730 #auspol

The ABC's descent into journalistic decay is no better captured than by the utter farce of David Speers arguing #Debate2024 "wasn't a disaster for Trump" & Leigh Sales' cutting-edge analysis of Kamala Harris' "dry-mouth, anxious swallowing". Murdoch makeover on full blast #auspol

That Kathryn Campbell was ever entrusted with a public service role is a scandal in itself. She abused her power to ruthlessly exploit Australia's vulnerable & now she whines to The Australian that she's Robodebt's "scapegoat". Delusion Scott Morrison would envy #insiders #auspol

"Miss Campbell, you are not a scapegoat, you were involved in Robodebt. There were 430,000 scapegoats. They are our fellow Australian citizens..." Ever astute Bill Shorten slams Kathryn Campbell's brazen Robodebt spin to The Australian. "A failure of empathy." #insiders #auspol

"Quite feisty at #QandA!" host Patricia Karvelas chuckles while failing to moderate Barnaby Joyce's relentless & rude interruptions of the panel before allowing him to monopolise every topic from Trump to nuclear, as Dee Madigan gets cut off. The ABC is on life support. #auspol
