Happy to have a respectful debate about ideas and values. We all have a right to our own opinions. We don't have a right to our own facts. I immediately block anyone who makes abusive or offensive comments

And the media hungry head of ASIO & allies were right out there claiming it was terrorism & we need to crack down & the right wing jocks in the mainstream media claimed it was the work of lefties & we need to crack down on them too. Opportunism has been the order of the day

Helen Haines was attacked & almost killed in a savage attack by a home grown Aussie bloke who is mentally ill. As soon as that was known, mainstream & social media lost interest in him. Imagine how different it would have been if he was black, brown or, even worse, a Muslim.

Yes, it’s the same idea. Reduce people’s capacity to spend now by a compulsory increase in paying your own mortgage or in topping up your superannuation. This would slow the economy while providing a long term benefit to everyone. I don’t understand why it doesn’t happen

So Helen Haines is still fighting for her life and Jillian Segal decides that now is the perfect time to attack Haines and others who think like her. This will cost you at the ballot box @AlboMP @SenatorWong @RichardMarlesMP @AustralianLabor

While Helen Haines recovers from her attack in hospital, Segal & her cronies attack her & others who share her progressive views opposing genocide & supporting international law as purveyors of hatred. Truly grotesque. #auspol

Segal is a conspiracy theorist anti-Australian — anti-free speech, anti-right to assembly, anti-academic freedom, anti-democracy. “Pew’s June survey found 79 per cent of Australians hold an unfavourable view of Israel, up from 74 per cent a year earlier. That is not a fringe. It is the country. “Segal treats it as a contagion, four in five Australians as suspects.” The Israelisation of Australia. Segal’s report is an attack on democracy. Abolish the job. michaelwest.com.au/the-israe… via @MichaelWestBiz

Around 120 representatives of the clergy have been killed by the Russians. On purpose, not accidentally, in deliberate attacks on these people, on our churches, and on other religious institutions. Around 800 religious sites were destroyed or damaged. Some of them were one thousand years old, subjected to massive drone and missile attacks – both cruise and ballistic. It’s awful and crazy. And this is not about money. This is about our heritage, history, art, and architecture. You can’t just renovate them. It is very painful for all of us, and of course for our clergy in the first place. From the interview with This Week on Capitol Hill.

A genuine question. The central bank increases interest rates to slow spending & therefore reduce inflation. Why can’t they raise the repayment rate instead? If they did that, you would pay more but it goes against your own mortgage rather than as bank profit. @JEChalmers

@AlboMP does not seem to believe in any of the values or beliefs he held as a young politician or as leader of the opposition. Albanese is a leopard who changes his spots to suit the interests of powerful backers

When does @AlboMP put a leash on his Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal. This is Australia ,not Israel , and she should not have carte blanche to impose her Zionist agenda on Australian Society. Her latest anti progressive ideology rant is a step too far.

Segal’s attempts to stifle legitimate criticism of Israel are becoming more extreme. She is a danger to our democracy. Albanese is to blame

Special Envoy Jillian Segal’s latest report is a dangerous and ideologically driven roadmap that threatens freedom of speech, academic freedom and democratic rights, while failing to meaningfully address the root causes of antisemitism. Our release: jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/10…

The aged care algorithm replacing human judgement. Today’s 7.30am podcast in which I answer questions about what’s wrong with the Australian aged care algorithm system and how we got here @AlboMP @Mark_Butler_MP @Anne_Ruston @senatorpennyqld 7ampodcast.com.au/

A lot of that extra spending is a justifiable pay rise for aged care workers. It was long overdue. The other large increase is due to faulty design & botched implementation of the new Support at Home program. Despite gov denials, SAH costs billions more to achieve worse outcomes

Pleased to speak in Brisbane today at 50th anniversary of @NationalSeniors that I founded in 1976. We represent Seniors in corridors of political & financial power & prove #Seniors are not a burden on the young. We are proud to be productive Aussies who turn grey into gold.

Zionism is a political cause committed to genocide. It's politics, not religion, not culture

RT @MikeCarlton01: Just days before the election, Butcher Bibi warns that Iran is building a nuclear bomb. Again.

Early headlines before any facts were known. Pick the odd one out. What an ideological rag

Turned out the Epstein files are full of billionaires and not immigrants.
