And it’s like they just forgot that a large part of her amplification is via international bot farms. She’s not a serious political player but the forces elevating her are a serious threat to democracy.

Bragg ignores that LNP policies from Howard on created the housing and inequality problems we have now. He has no answers to those problems, just wants to double down on bad policies. I have despised negative gearing and the CGT discount for years. Of course house prices need to fall.

Labor has passed major tax policy creating a fairer system and undoing some of the massive damage done for years by terrible Howard government policies and all Speers can do is carp and try to create a sense of crisis. Of course the right wing media is appalled but ABC should be better🤦🏼‍♂️ #insiders

Speers opens #Insiders with 'how long will it take for the electorate to forgive Labor for the broken promise (gasp) tax concession rollbacks." My question is, "How long will it take the media to understand that this policy is good for the majority of Australians and we have moved on?" 🤷‍♀️ #auspol

So depressing to hear Ted O’Brien from the Liberal party trot out the same tired cliches about Israel ‘defending themselves’ as they illegally invade and occupy all around them, kill civilians, medics and journalists and preach genocide like maniacs. Read the room Ted. 🙄 #insiders

Pope’s cartoon very on point! David Rowe’s was brilliant as usual. Cathy Wilcox raised Pauline’s unhinged attack on Sarah Martin. Wilcox on Trump very good too. #insiders

Surely Australia will reject Pauline’s crazy, bitter hatreds once they are exposed to it. Her strong card is fear of Islamic terror. Another Bondi style event, would boost her. I hope no such thing happens, for many, many reasons. Hanson has no answers. #insiders

I missed the start of #insiders, so I might have missed something relevant, but I’d like to see a very strong statement supporting Sarah Martin against Pauline Hanson’s disgusting personal attack at press club. There should be united outrage at Hanson’s unhinged refusal to take criticism.

Hard to think of a less interesting interview than this with Ted O’Brien. Downplaying global warming in the Pacific. Sheesh. The Libs skewered between Hanson on the crazy right and Labor in centre of Australian politics. Libs riven with internal conflict as a result. #insiders

When will we face reality? - AUKUS is a dud. Britain has no empire and is broke. US is led by a would-be fascist criminal. The US is completely untrustworthy. Putting so much money into subs that will never arrive would be funny if it wasn’t so damaging. Get out of AUKUS now. #insiders

How many gotchas from Speers today? Clare O’Neil is a highly competent housing minister (LNP didn’t care enough to have 🏠 minister). When Clare handled the gotchas and embarrasses the opposition, Speers deflects. #insiders #auspol
