Bloody bastards. No loyalty to the staff who help NAB make massive profits. They're just an impediment to even more profit.
This is absolutely disgusting. What's the point of court rulings if governments can just overrule them when they don't like the result? #nswpol
This apology is worth absolutely nothing. I don't believe for a moment, she wasn't aware of its content. #auspol
Nobody will care, particularly politicians. These employees don't wear hi-vis and hard hats.

How do people get caught up in something like this? Just keep your money in the bank or an established superannuation fund. Stop chasing big returns. If it sounds too good to be true etc.
This is such awful news. Such a horrific incident. I hope she stabilises and will soon be on her way to a good recovery.

"They're really good dogs." Except that they attacked a man and now he's in hospital with serious injuries. The council don't really have much choice. She's living in a tent with no realistic way of keeping them under control.
I don't feel sorry for anyone who voted for Trump. Serves you right. It's called karma.
Disgraceful but not surprising. Membership of a union was only mentioned for the lady working in construction. What were the conditions of their employment contracts? Is maternity leave covered? Hardly anyone belongs to a union these days. The employers didn't want to cover maternity leave.
This is really concerning. This is not behaviour we expect from the Greens. They represent themselves as better than this. Very disappointing. #auspol
It's wonderful this woman has been reunited with her brother. How cruel that successive governments denied his visa. What's happened to our compassion and empathy?
Do voters really want to replace a Labor government with a hybrid One Nation/Coalition government? Because if it's not a Labor federal government, that's the only likely alternative. Things can always get worse. #auspol
Nice to see a positive story on the government's negative gearing and CGT reforms. It's giving some people a chance to buy a home. The reforms are working to an extent. Let's hope values come down a further. #auspol
Could journalists actually do some journalism? It wasn't that long ago the Greens were perfectly happy to remove the private health insurance rebate from over 65s, including pensioners. Go back a few years and look at their policy on it. I posted it yesterday. #auspol
WTAF? He found part of a skull and assuming "it was Aboriginal remains" took it to the pub where the skull was used as an ashtray. What a disgraceful human being. Some people are just filth.
Surprise, surprise. Rockliff lied when he said Tasmania's contribution would be capped at $875M. If Bec Thomas was stupid enough to believe him, she should resign and apologise for her part in this debacle. Rockliff should piss off as well. #politas

Hobart's $1.13 billion Macquarie Point Stadium - eye watering amounts for a sport in a poor state where a man died this week due to ambulance ramping at Hobart hospital. Iβm sure his and subsequent families will find solace when big men fly in Hobartβs second stadium π‘

Tip or skip? How US-style tipping culture is creeping into Australia - It's a skip from me.
Considering the Greens own policy was to phase out the private health insurance rebate for all age brackets over time, there is quite the whiff of hypocrisy here. BTW I am a Greens voter & have been for years. Maybe they thought people had forgotten. #auspol
