The Trump-Albanese non-meeting is a classic case of media demanding it happen purely because the media think it matters.

Not one journo covering the US visit could explain what good they would expect to come of the meeting.

But they just assume it must be done.

When are our media & arts institutions going to grow a back bone and not be spooked by lobbyist letters making vexatious and defamatory claims. Have we learned nothing ? Are these institutions more concerned about cranky letter writers than war crimes they seek to distract from?

Brian Wilson influenced most serious songwriters of the 20th century. Paul McCartney often said ‘God Only Knows’ was the greatest song ever written.

He achieved this while battling Schizoaffective Disorder. Vale: - a genuine, troubled genius. 😞

Jacqui Lambie dumps Andrew Jenner. I'm putting it in those terms because she says not to put it in those terms but it is obviously exactly what it is. www.examiner.com.au/story/898719... #politas

Wrote about this being a strong possibility and yup - the Nationals have had a massive dummy spit and broken up the Coalition. Marching both parties even closer to obscurity. Absolutely amazing.

If the Nats leave the coalition, and the LNP of Qld join with them that makes 25 seats & the Libs with 18. Does that mean that the Nats & LNPQ become the opposition & Littleproud the Opposition leader??? Are the Nats bailing out because there is a female leader? Interesting!!!!! #auspol #Auspol

We appear to have lost our federal Coalition for the first time since 1987. Remains to be seen if this is temporary or will continue to the next election, implications for how LNP runs in Qld and for polling.

Peter Dutton “I’m very happy for the election to be a referendum on energy, on Nuclear”
They didn’t just lose, they got smashed.
To not have immediately dropped Nuclear after the election shows how out of touch LNP are & how desperate they are to oppose what Australians voted for.

NSW forestry agency should be shut down for repeatedly breaking law, critics argue Forestry Corporation says suggestion that it can be compared to a criminal bikie gang is ‘ridiculous’

Not every day you read about a govt. org. that "this really is a criminal organisation in terms of crimes against the environment, crimes against biodiversity but also crimes against the state’s finances"

Australia is set to be a renewables nation. After Labor’s win, there’s no turning back Under a Labor government, coal and gas have a fast-declining role to play in Australia’s energy mix – and nuclear has none at all.

Australia already has the world’s highest per-capita solar uptake, with about 300,000 solar systems installed each year. One in three Australian homes now has rooftop solar!

I think a lot of Liberals will be working from home

Most Australians believe wind turbines are not really green. This is what we found We debunk myths ranging from “there’s no point in acting until China does” to “we need nuclear for baseload power”.

This is a good piece of factchecking.

Liberal candidate Amelia Hamer's $20m trust revealed after renter controversy

All the Coalition & Amelia Hamer had to do was be upfront with the people of Kooyong. I'm a renter, I have these 2 properties & am a benefiary of a trust. Not everyone would have liked it but it's better than trying to cover up. #ausvotes www.9news.com.au/national/fed...

Jacinta Price says Coalition will ‘make Australia great again’ – then accuses media of being ‘obsessed with’ Trump
www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

With the chaos that the Trump administration is causing around the world, it’s unbelievable that Jacinta-Price would copy Trump’s famous slogan.

Is this the actual reason Peter Dutton has stopped talking about his $600b nuclear scheme?

Coalition sinks from 'box seat' to prospect of losing seats Voters continue to abandon Peter Dutton with latest polling showing the coalition faces the prospect of losing seats on May 3.

Peter Dutton & LNP slump to 47.5% & ALP 52.5% in latest YouGov poll. Follows Dutton’s work-from-home disaster: 'Voters have formed a strong opinion that the coalition does not understand their working lives & aren’t on side with people’s rights at work' #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

“Coalition says it is actually committed to Paris agreement hours after refusing to rule out withdrawing”

Seriously who can trust anything they say?

News Corp queries audience independence after Albanese declared debate winner News Corp’s top political commentators immediately cast doubt on the political leanings of the debate audience.

You couldn't make this up. Murdoch's mob organised, hosted and broadcast the debate yet now they are questioning the independence of the audience they chose after their favoured candidate lost. It's f*cking hilarious!! #auspol
