Angus Taylor lost his job today.Andrew Hastie has taken the leadership position in the Liberal Party.Taylors failure to read the room on the “words matter”/ Helen Haines debate and role play One Nations view on the role of political speech will mean the end of his leadership. Only unknown is When?

There can be no doubt that all religions in world are the destroyers of peace and creators of greed & injustice. Our future depends on removal of organised #religion from society & fostering of faith as a personal expression of a caring and sharing life.

Turning the temperature down means prosecuting people who say terrible things on social media. A guy who emailed abused to me was convicted recently and got a prison sentence. (Bouquets to the WA Police for following through. Brickbats to SAPOL who didn't want to know.) More of this, please.

Hear hear.

Whether you like Rugby League or not tune in if you get the chance and see the passion of Samoa Tonga Fiji and PNG and the love for their country. At a time of division in Australia we can learn from our pacific neighbours.

"What is the book that will be written on #AnthonyAlbanese 's prime ministership?" #FranKelly, host of The #RadioNational Hour, recently put this question to veteran political journalist #KerryO'Brien. The former 7.30 host's response was characteristically blunt. #AUSPOL #Neoliberalism #Albo

One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026!

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

Remember the story we at #4Corners did about Channel 7, 2 years ago? About soul-crushing culture of sexism & exploitation, particularly of young women? Their internal review has vindicated our reporting, despite legal threats at the time (which went nowhere). Report: www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Much debate about where to from here after the shocking attack on Helen Haines. The answer is..Helen Haines. She has demonstrated through her non combative community approach to politics and that there is a better way to do politics. She is the leader … She is the example…do as Helen would do.

Agreed. And if the nation's politicians had exercised a collective spine and boycotted a certain radio "host" after his appalling "chaff bag & Sydney Harbour" bile ridden commentary, or called out the filthy rags that placed cross hairs on front page pics of fellow MP's, a better tone may prevail

Zali Steggall unloads on Pauline Hanson’s disgraceful finger-pointing and politicisation following the attack on Helen Haines. says she has a long history of spreading hate in the country “sells & pushes hate & division non stop” “Helen is the complete opposite”💯 Yup.

Totally agree @tonywindsor.bsky.social. Helen and Phil Haines are valued friends of mind. I hold them in highest regard & I weep as Helen fights for her life after deliberate attempt to kill her. Tragedy is that she is a genuine independent who is totally committed to the people of #Indi.

Since 2019 she has been the model for me as a politician. She loves her community and works extraordinarily hard to represent Indi effectively and well. She was very generous with the new crop of independents in 2022 - it's why I had these T-shirts made.

I'd filed a Hanson/ Lambie cartoon for today but it seemed a bit tin eared with what's happened in Indi so I did a new, last minute one this morning. I had a few ideas about division & dark days but thought I'd focus on something that's bringing people together instead. Here's to Helen Haines.

Words matter. Not only on social media but in the way MSM platforms idiots to spew their discrimination. The media can’t play the sympathetic soul when it comes to the shocking Helen Haines attack & then promote the behaviour of the haters. Some people respond to the prompts & act accordingly.

Helen Haines was the only MP who would give me an interview when I was a student journalist. She had zero reason too, it was for university assignments only a marker would read, but it highlighted her kindness and decency to take the time to do so. Really hope she's okay. #auspol #ausnews

Horrendous Tony. A good & very decent person, committed to her electorate, local representation and broader integrity. @helenhainesindi.bsky.social is a model, mentor and aspirational example across so many regional communities - wishing her all the power of as many positive thoughts 7we can muster.

I can’t believe someone would intentionally want to hurt Helen Haines. She is always respectful of others views, respected across the Parliament and community and a glowing example of how an MP should represent her electorate. Our thoughts are with Helen and her family.

Wonderful to be on this week’s episode of The Guardian’s Australian Politics Podcast, speaking with political editor Tom McIlroy about what dominated the headlines this past week. We spoke about a range of topics - from the private health bill to what's next for Kooyong, JSCEM, and more.

Jacqui Lambie has shown courage and honesty in speaking of her experience of vaginal prolapse. She’s talked about an awkward subject to make it easier for other affected women. Pauline Hanson thinks that's worth making fun of. One Jacqui Lambie is worth 1,000 Pauline Hansons.

Still shaking my head in disgust that #Pauline #Hanson #OneNation did this to Jacqui #Lambie.

Anyone contemplating voting for Hansons looters have a look at trump’s pillaging of the US. Buyer beware.

Such a treat to visit an Australian icon, genius polymath and very dear friend, Barry Jones AC yesterday, ahead of Barry turning 94 today. We talked science, research, climate, and politics. There was a bit to cover…

South Australia’s renewable build-out is accelerating, with new wind farms and batteries adding billions in investment, powering major industry and pushing the state closer to 100% net renewables, Giles Parkinson writes. #auspol #Renewables #Energy

An idiotic policy, designed to appeal to an ignorant & desperate section of the electorate. So of course, the murdoch gutter media gets right behind it. Pathetic.
