So China invades Australia in 2025 and 650m Chinese are relocated here in 2026
The Australian way of life ceases to exist. Australians are treated as 2nd class citizens under the new regime and, over time, are likely to die earlier than their Chinese occupiers ...
Speers is clearly excited by Trump's speech whilst Raf snaps him out of his dream and calls it a policy vacuum delivered by a guy once described as Hitler by his running mate

, re the 1988 rape:
1. Case CAN be investigated
2. AFP have NO JURISDICTION, unless the rape was in ACT. NSW Police should be investigating
3. Parallel Inquiry should be run by retired Judge into the Govt "process"
If justice is served it will be delicious irony that both Bruce Lehrmann and Linda Reynolds will deeply regret going back for their hat
And it couldn't happen to two nastier people

PK absolutely gushing about Morrison's presser. Says he's strong on an ICAC.

He corrected himself and said I'm sure that's what he'll say when I interview him on

Oops.
Laura squeezes into 6 minutes:
Dutton's "still vague" nuclear policy, little detail, inconsistent internal support, no costings, no plan for waste, no builders, doubts on supply sees increased pricing, making stuff up daily

Murray Watt gets through an interruption-laden Speers interview without telling to shut up. Impressive. Also good to see a Minister who is all over his brief

Speers on Dutton's comments re the arrival of refugees. He offers two alternatives:
1. He's just telling it as it is
2. He's incentivising more arrivals
Let me offer a 3rd possibility David:
3. He's dog-whistling to his base

He says they're actually increasing if you measure it properly.

"I don't remember" is a pretty shitty defence. The AFP records show there was a meeting. The corruption bit seems of no interest to Dutton. He says Sarah is reading too much into it
Sarah Ferguson is tearing the Opposition Leader a new one and it's a joy to watch
