I do not understand why we have wasted so much money on these when the money should of been spent buying us water bombing planes. As the only thing we are going to have to fight in Australia are the ever increasing bush fires.

The thunder and lightning in Gunahs was like a bomb going off, on top of the hail and road visibility of -30

Building a new section/emergency department of the Canberra Hospital hasn’t fixed or will it fix the underlying problems we have always faced with Canberra hospitals.

Oh yeah, cookers are walking contradictions 😂

Wait, are you comparing women wanting control over what happens to their bodies to decisions companies make?

This is so intensely awful. Santos is Australia's ExxonMobil - one of the meanest, most aggressive and bloody-minded fossil fuel companies in the country. They're obsessed with suing their critics into the ground, and they're winning.

Possibly the last sitting day of the Senate. We could go into an election at the beginning of the year & our legend of a Senator addressed his last speech to thank his family, staff & Ken Behrens.

Let's make sure, this is not his last, we are lucky to have him as our ACT Senator. #Canberra #Pocock

Any female that had him as a PE teacher, are not surprised by this.

Watching the Social Media Minimum Age inquiry.

This is colossal failure by the Labor government.

Unsupported by evidence, nearly impossible to enforce, riddled with privacy risks, unworkable exceptions, and exposes major flaws in Labor's capability and competence.

A restaurant board sign that reads: “we are not all in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some have yachts. Some have canoes. And some are drowning. Just be kind and help when you can.

I love this.

“The evidence base for the underage social media ban is poor – and yet it’s that bill being rushed through parliament, not the partial gambling ad ban, much less the full ban.”

Exclusive: NACC integrity officer quits over integrity As the National Anti-Corruption Commission continues to face criticism over its decision-making, new details have emerged about compliance issues and disclosures at the body.

In the early months of the NACC, one of its chief integrity officers saw the writing on the wall and quit. There were alarm bells, they told colleagues, and hints that the new executive didn't grasp the heightened responsibility of their roles. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

#labor wants to kill #palmer and slow down the #greens, and the #coalition wants to kill the #independents and slow down #OneNation. it’s like, ‘you help me kill my enemy, and i’ll help you kill yours’.

The government is rushing a bad idea (and why the social media ban won't work) – Pickr A social media ban for under 16s sends the wrong message and won't work, but rushing it for the end of the year is somehow a worse idea.

I couldn't sit by and not say anything on the government's plan to expedite a poorly planned social media ban.

Education is the answer, not simply burying heads in the sand in the name of protecting kids. Teach them. That's the answer.

So I wrote this.
