His hostility to successive Victorian governments is so patently partial and hypocritical. I find his writing bordering on venomous.

eSafety Commissioner labelled 'zealot' and beckoned before US Congress Australia's online safety regulator, Julie Inman Grant, has been labelled a "zealot" and called to testify before US Congress, over concerns her office is censoring the internet for Americans.

It is indeed. Warring factions will find it difficult to work with this outcome.

Agree. There will be many silly words written and said about this. The Victorian liberals are far removed from the small ‘l’ liberals inferred here … Wilson has already made the disgraced Bev McArthur leader of the upper house - far from a ‘centrists’ move … We’ve seen this movie before.

Absolutely. I love the World Cup for its energy, drama and enthusiasm from the fans. So many are at risk of experiencing racism, violence and persecution. And the same goes for LA Olympics - potentially disastrous.

I think about fans having second thoughts about even trying to enter the US - what could go wrong? Well, just about anything.

How Victoria’s new crime-reduction unit can help tackle its youth crime problem

Scottish police created a specialised violence reduction unit to treat violence as a public health issue. It worked, and it’s coming to Victoria.

She has friends in high places: Frydenberg, the IPA … and has been carefully manoeuvred into this position, having only entered the parliament last year. Many colleagues have been withering on the opposition benches for years and the vote was close. Let’s see what happens.

She does not support Treaty.

Yes, it is.

ABC News advances its alliance with Murdoch’s Sky News Recent programs have confirmed ABC News is increasingly under the control of pro-Coalition activists.

"ABC News is now mimicking the Murdoch media in blatantly promoting the Coalition.

“In a shameful display of partisan politics, the ABC devoted almost an entire Insiders program to the Liberals and the Nationals – who will have no policy influence for at least a decade.”

Are Australians really paying more for electricity than other countries? Australia’s electricity prices have gone up a long way over the past decade or so, but global energy trends have also pushed up bills in other countries

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
And, after adjusting for cost of living, Tran found that Australia dropped down the international price comparison rankings.

Instead of the 15th most expensive electricity prices, we rank 24th by this measure, and well below the OECD average.

Energy giants back net zero as Coalition reignites climate war Australia’s major power companies have reinforced support for net zero and a renewable-dominated grid, insisting it will be the cheapest option for consumers.

“Australia’s biggest energy companies have reinforced their support for the government’s 2050 net zero target and warned that failing to embrace renewables will only send power bills higher”

It’s kinda amusing: ‘progressive media’ has tried for years and failed. Now it’s the turn of the federal coalition … you can’t appease the right. You will never give them enough. They don’t want to make peace, they want to destroy you. They hate you.

Pressed to outline how the LNP will reduce emissions with their new energy plan, Sussan Ley says they’ll rely on “breakthrough technologies” in about “25 years time”😳 - ones not invented yet & “we’re not talking about today”🤔
There you have it. As bonkers as it gets. #auspol

Do they think economy-wide emissions are like water from a kitchen tap and you can just turn the handle a bit to adjust flow whenever you feel like it? Childish garbage they should be called on.

We did … and committed these to our very long memories …

Yes. Making a clear distinction here.

And we heard it all.

He did indeed.

More good news for Melbourne railways today. But lol that he said the quiet part out loud.

He's having a go at all those Liberal Prime Ministers who deliberately withheld funds from Victoria. They even stated these intentions out loud.

Penny Wong says the Liberal Party has gone from being a “serious mainstream political party” to one that’s “trying to outflank Pauline Hanson”
“What I’d say to Sussan Ley & to Andrew Hastie & to Angus Taylor is you can’t be more Pauline than Pauline.”🔥 #Abcinsiders

On the banks of Birrarung History all at once, the signing of the Treaty.
