Imagine if Penny Wong, Bridget McKenzie, Linda Reynolds or Pauline Hanson behaved like Barnaby. The double standard from colleagues and the media is mind boggling. As is his apparent incapacity to see the damage he does to himself, ,his party and parliament

I’m not a believer but just in case I’m wrong I’m saying a prayer for kids in the cave and their rescue team. If they’re saved it will not be proof of divine intervention......but I’ll know I crossed the t’s and dotted the i’s. Can’t hurt.
God i love this country. The young clearly very competent nurse checking me out in emergency was in grade 5 and living in India when i left politics. For opportunity from all the lands we come.. like our predecessors
I don’t knock people for their religious beliefs but I’m wondering how often Shorten goes to church, especially with his mother in law.....just doesn’t look authentic. Looks trumped up. Morrison authentic

I’m no fan of trump or Biden but I think this is having a shot at Biden for being tokenistic. That may in fact be incorrect but one should be able to make the point

I’m thinking of the very brave copper.most never have to draw their gun let alone use it. You can train people but the real thing would have a serious impact on you. People around and in shops so can’t risk anything other than close range and the chest.

I think that’s just rubbish.....but communicating like a thesaurus does mean your up yourself, deliberately exclusionary, a very bad communicator, probably dreadfully insecure and someone very few people would like to be with
Rubbish. One can predict tears without it being sexist..... they’re both ruthlessly ambitious. The gender is not relevant. Conversely you use gender as a shield as though these two need protection....laughable.

showing the world that Aussies will give it a go and showing that graciousness is an admirable trait. Some Aussie sportsmen could take note. Fancy making your nation proud at her age congrats
Australia. We owe you an apology. I’m sorry. You deserve better than many of the things our Federal Parliament has served up to you for the past 10 years. Believe me: there’s a lot of good people on both sides of the chamber and we can do better. Don’t give up.
