I'm just watching Sen Penny Wong speaking on #abc730 right now, discussing various international matters in her steady, articulate intelligent manner, and I'm struck by how similar Hollie Hughes is to her.

Another observation - having two matches scheduled the same day at the same venue increases the risk of a calamitous shock to the competition. Surely better to spread them over different venues.

George W. Bush, a man responsible for one of the worst calls in history (the invasion of Iraq), is now selling a course in how to make “tough calls.”

Big shout-out to all the journalists, especially in the Press Gallery, who in response to the persecution of Bernard Collaery and Witness K... did absolutely nothing and stayed silent for four years.

Thank you for your time today, @Senator_Patrick. And thanks for your service and tireless work to strengthen our democracy.
With just over 20 days to go I spent the day in Canberra talking to incoming ministers about things that matter to SA. I also managed to catch up with @pocockdavid. I was pleased to meet with him and look forward to seeing an independent representing the ACT in the Senate #auspol

As of June 1st the HECS (Uni debts) will be hit with a 3.9% interest rate.
Meanwhile, the average owner occupier mortgage rate is 2.63%.
This is the first time in history HECS rates have outstripped mortgage rates
Billions to supress mortgage rates, but 0 help for uni students

This is one senator who, if performance counted, should not have been defeated. A real loss to the national legislature. But he hasn't left yet.
I'm still a Senator until 30 June so I'm plugging away on important unfinished business - urging the new Govt to shed light on the dark secrets of Australia’s past efforts to steal #TimorLeste's oil & gas. Openness is key to good future relations. #auspol michaelwest.com.au/pacific-a…

And I can’t resist saying it again. News Corp papers that shat all over Greens and teals had no visible impact. Can all politicians and journalists take note.

Putting in Dutton to move the Liberal party even further to the right completely misses the point. If Dutton is seen as the answer what the hell is the question? This move will not bring us back.

Extremely concerning that a boat full of illegal immigrants from Sri Lanka has been intercepted in Australian waters today.
They were supposed to be here three days ago!

Accepting money to put lies on your front pages says about about how lowly you regard your journalism
News orgs that take UAP money to run conspiracy lies hold their own journalists in contempt

Basically the Liberals are saying to young people and low-income earners "hand your own retirement savings to wealthy homeowners -- it won't help you get a house, but it will make THEIR retirements even comfier."
