@vanOnselenP @australian Most people are asking for an enquiry not a predetermined outcome. You, Uhlmann and Coorey are all running the line that the presumption of innocence has been thrown out. It is a misrepresentation of the conversation.

@PatsKarvelas I don’t agree with you Patricia. The ABC is so cowed by this Government it does not criticise it fairly. This Government was/is the worst in our history. That’s what a balanced ABC would have made clear.

@PaulineHansonOz 'Pauline Hanson's Big Bogan Adventure'. How awesome; going to climb Uluru for no other reason than to offend indigenous Australians and to fire up her brain-dead base.

@BelindaJones68 @Bowenchris @AlanTudgeMP This has to stop. The Government has no right to quash any and every debate they don't want to be involved in. This is integral to the working of the Parliament; it cannot continue to be abused by this arrogant entitled corrupt Government.

@deemadigan Employers don't care if they pay this money as super or wages. The increase in wages to employees will last one or maybe two pay negotiations before employees are on the same money they would have been on anyway - but with no super.

@michellegrattan @ConversationEDU I doubt the indigenous Australians who worked so hard on this for so long wanted a watered down political compromise; they wanted Australians to accept the hand that was reached out - it wasn’t a big ask.

@Simon_Breheny @Coles @woolworths @igaAustralia @ALDIAustralia In other words you're quite happy for high demand items to be affordable for people with plenty of money? Another way of doing it would be to make price gouging illegal and to constrain the amounts of a product that people can buy. But that's not really the IPA way is it?.
