Sussan Ley was born in Nigeria to English parents. She grew up in the United Arab Emirates and England before being sacked as a minister of the crown by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull for her corrupt behaviour.
She is favourite to lead the modern Liberal Party of Australia.

I believe he also wants to separate from the Liberals and cancel their agreement. No more coalition.

Why is Australia's right so talentless? Any bozo can float to the top

Dutton, Palmer, Babet, Hanson, Rennick, Price, Roberts...
Truly we are blessed that the right continues to put up such terrible candidates.

Franking credits, dividend imputation and 'retiree tax' explained Many countries have systems in place to ensure company profits are taxed only once - but Australia has added its own twist to the idea.

We can afford to include universal dental in Medicare.
Overhaul franking credit imputation credits.
It doesn’t have to be a kick in the teeth to self-funded retirees.
Just grandfather existing conditions.
But it’s time to draw a line in the sand @albomp.bsky.social

Rupert Murdoch, Gina Rinehart and Kerry Stokes no longer own Australian democracy.

Yes.

Now THIS is true leadership on the world stage. In stark contrast to the weak, ignorant clown we currently have in the White House.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

How will President Trump put himself on the map? | Fiona Katauskas And will he be given the latitude?

It’s the end of the world as we know it- my @australia.theguardian.com cartoon www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Fanes must be having a bloody good laugh at this point.

Inflation is coming down, job opportunities growing, more people in work than ever before. I will never be convinced that Dutton is good for our country when I know he is t so unfollow me please and preach your misinformation to someone else.

The last thing our planet needs is Dutton. He will take us back decades. He was a dreadful home affairs minister an even worse health minister. He will lead to complete chaos.

Are LNP's Australia's shackles?

What good have they actually done for this country?

Oh please God, no. Operation Fluffy Dutton has begun. Expect cooking tips, puppies, daggy Dad dancing & whatever else marketing invents. All designed to disguise the fact he’s a cold-blooded political thug, fully owned & operated by the fossil fuel industry. Gunna need a bigger bucket. #auspol

AFR could have left out the last line of the byline and it would still be accurate.

More things Dutton has planned.

Dutton and LNP will start to dismantle Medicare. They always wanted American style health care and we all know what's that's like. We must never allow Medicare to be eroded. Our system is the envy of many countries.

But it often takes a lot of time and isn't always successful.

I hope that this message gets to all the older generation happily reaping the rewards of solar.

Dutton is a danger to their benefits

They are all privately owned. So there's a battle to even acquire the sites. And then you have to deal with communities who don't want them there. It's not something that can be sorted quickly. Liddell is owned by AGL and they are already building battery storage and a solar farm there.

Depends who owns them. AGL for instance is already building battery storage and solar farm at Liddell.

Dutton wants to see this work undone + a return to the bad old days of Abbott/Morrison inaction

His plan is more delay, denial and dysfunction. And it’s Australians who will pay the price.
