If one of Angus Taylor's staffers brought him this object and told him it was the internet, I think there's a chance Angus Taylor would not only believe them but send a thank you note to Malcolm Turnbull for being allowed to borrow it. #auspol #TheITcrowd

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

None of the press corp ever really questions this guy and that’s unfortunate. The American media is sadly incompetent!

Not everyone named in the Epstein files is a pedophile. If Epstein wrote in an email to Trump: "Stay away from Joe Blow. He's not cool and might rat us out," then Joe Blow will be in the files without being a pedo. However, everyone named must be investigated.

#DimTim has become shadow treasurer

No, really

It's amazing what uncontained self belief can do

I'm pretty sure they still haven't worked out that they got the flogging of a lifetime for exactly the policy platform they are now sprouting

There is no longer a Republican Party.

There are Libertarians, Democrats and MAGA.

Get rid of the nomenclature, Republican, entirely.

It is dead. Has been. Use your words.

You can not take citizenship from an Australian citizen. The high court has made it clear. If you are Australian, you are allowed entry into Australia. Doesn’t mean authorities won’t follow up or monitor you, but short of a complete border closure, you can’t be denied entry.

Sure code reviews are an essential part of the review process, but why try to insert a system that can’t learn to perform the same function as a human?
Unless of course it’s a cost cutting exercise…a total false economy…
