Angus Taylor moves to promote conservatives and sideline Sussan Ley allies as Liberal party veers right Andrew Hastie and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price among those expected to return to frontbench as new leader pursues rightwing agenda

"Liberal MPs expect Alex Hawke, Anne Ruston, Andrew Wallace and Paul Scarr will be dropped to make room for the return of Andrew Hastie and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price among others on the frontbench."

There's a Tas Parliament petition opposing the proposed 'Short Stay Levy Bill 2025'.

My family had to leave Hobart due to no rentals. Workers living in tents and caravans at the showgrounds, not a life. These greedy people do not have the overheads of hotels, they can afford 5% #taspol

Where is the proof that this was done by โ€œMilitant leftistsโ€? โ€ฆ smells like another right wing false flag operation โ€ฆ the far right perfected false flag propaganda with Marinus van der Lubbeโ€ฆ

Hi are you one of the most successful writers in the world? We would like to take all of your skills, commoditise them, and thereby remove your unique voice for twice the pay you could make at Trader Joeโ€™s.

It's politically true that calling One Nation supporters racists won't persuade them away, but it's also literally true that you can't support One Nation without being a racist.

He actually mentioned it a couple of days ago which is how I became aware of it (& I'm in WA). Not defending him but the WA police have been reasonably tight lipped about it. Interesting how quiet the opposition, phon & others who were very vocal after Bondi have been both state & federally.

You would think that the LNP would be better at elections since they have internal spill elections so often. Seems practice doesnโ€™t make perfect

No question neither Ley nor Littleproud will survive, but so what. There is no talent in either party room, only a bunch of hacks hoping to be noticed by Rupert. The Liberal Party as an entity is just ghostly echoes of the past prime ministers who destroyed it.

The homemade explosive thrown into a crowd on #InvasionDay has been described by police as โ€œdesigned to explodeโ€ with โ€œmass casualtyโ€ potential.

If thatโ€™s not terrorism, we need to re-write the dictionary.

#MelissaMcIntosh has grandiose hopes of being the next opposition leader.
โ€œ I want to bring hope to the people.โ€ Fortunately she has no hope. Having another female leader of the liberal party is all but dead and buried for decades to come.

Trauma experts coming from Israel to help the Australian victims of Bondi attack. Do we not have trauma experts here?

Politicising this tragedy has actually done irreparable damage, not only to their brand but also to the Jewish community because none of us were allowed the opportunity process what had happened & grieve for the victims & their families.

Sussan Ley says the Coalition has its own alternative hate speech / gun reform legislation.

If it exists, why hasnโ€™t it been released?
If it doesnโ€™t exist, why demand parliament be recalled early? ๐Ÿ™„

Some media have reported that Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah has dropped her defamation claim against SA premier Peter Malinauskas. That is incorrect. She has resolved her separate defamation claim against Adelaide Festival Corporation.

Albanese โ€œI am surprised that anyone could walk into parliament & vote againstโ€ฆโ€

Downer showed their hand.

Donโ€™t dismiss the possibility that they knew that writers would cancel (and counted on it) because their real goal was to destroy forums for critical, intelligent and educated discussion.
