@sallymcmanus great interview yesterday at #abc730

oof, that Scott Farquhar interview on #abc730 was cringeworthy on both sides of the desk

Watching Scott Farquhar defending unlimited AI slurping of IP on #abc730 is a train wreck

#abc730 Scott if IP rights 'is an interesting one' why is JIRA not open source?

Penny Wong struggling on the point of if Israel is committing war crimes. Says "it is impossible to justify withholding aid from civilians", but couldn't say that Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war.

#ABC730 Why does our Prime Minister (head of government) talk with the President (head of state) and not the Prime Minister (head of government) of Israel? Have I got this diplomacy awry?

#abc730 a chicken called #Stalin o_0

Forget about Tulsi Gabbard, Obama and Russia.

The biggest show in town is The #EpsteinFiles.

#abc730 he's a real maniac

get this Angus T. waffler off my tellie #abc730

Wtf? The Pez on #ABC730??!! #NotMyABC #AusPol

2015: #Netanyahu claims #Iran will have nuclear weapons within a year.

2012: Netanyahu claims Iran will have nuclear weapons within a year.
2012: The Guardian: "Leaked cables show Netanyahu’s Iran bomb claim contradicted by Mossad"

Memo to the Liberal and National Parties, formerly known as the Coalition/#LNP:
If you can't govern your own parties you can't govern the country.

Antony Green discusses.

Ted O'Brien, the new deputy Leader of the Liberal Party, is clearly gutted over the loss of his former LNP colleagues.

I realise now what the disconnection was last night between #ABC730 host Sarah Ferguson and guest “nuclear” Ted O’Brien.

Sure it was the trench warfare of “I’m not going to announce our policy on your show.” A continuation of the Liberal Party avoidance of testable policy.

But it was also a refusal to acknowledge a factual change of circumstances.

Ferguson posed a question about a changed timescale - 3 years to the next election and a coal power phase out. Wouldn’t changed circumstances require a change of plan?

A simple “yes” would’ve worked. Or “yes, when the situation changes one must change one’s plan.” But O’Brien refused to engage and repeatedly used the excuse of the party needing to consider all their policies. He doggedly answered a question she didn’t ask.

By his own admission they have a lot of listening and learning to do - but he doesn’t seem to have started.

2023: Nikki Savva offers free advice to Peter Dutton and the Liberal Party in the wake of their shock loss in the Aston by-election.

They didn't listen to Savva. They listened to Peta Credlin and Rowan Dean.

Who does deposed #Greens leader Adam Bandt blame for his loss?
Boundaries
The 'Dutton is Trump' factor
Preferential voting

The media told us the BIGGEST issue was #CostOfLiving. The Greens repeatedly blocked Labor's #housing agenda.

Peter Dutton may be experiencing some discomfort after this weekend's election.

2020: "Barnaby Joyce signed off $80m for Angus Taylor’s old company after ZERO was paid for SAME SORT OF WATER (wet) nearby".

Did Barnaby help out Angus with his 2025 election costings?
