PM @TurnbullMalcolm: "Bill Shorten is punching the air as though he has won the World Cup. Well, the reality is that the Labor Party has secured an average or conventional by-election swing in #Longman and has not secured any swing at all in #Braddon." #auspol @SBSNews
PM @TurnbullMalcolm: "I have never given any indication at all that we would win these by-elections. There is not a lot to celebrate for the Labor Party. There is certainly nothing to crow about." #auspol @SBSNews
PM @TurnbullMalcolm: "Look, we look very seriously and thoughtfully and humbly at the way in which the voters have responded" #auspol @SBSNews

Shame govt ! SHAME GOVT!

THE court cases will be so exciting as lib & labor grubs & a few from judiciary & many others all corrupt & charged
The bullshit letter from govt watch dogs saying we can trust them in Qld is written a decade after the 7 Super Legal Eagles wrote their letter demanding an end to heiner corruption!

Still to this day it has not been sorted !

But it begins now

The events today have shown, I think, what happens when all semblance of trust is lost in our politics. First: how could any leader of the EU27 look at today and conclude that the UK can be trusted with the power to unilaterally ditch the backstop? Inconceivable 1/
No, this is the deal. There is a way that Mrs May could save face, however, if only she hadn't lashed herself to the mast of the Good Ship No-Referendum. How, you ask? 2/
The HMG should bring forward an amendment to the current motion that ensures that there is a Remain vs Deal referendum *even if* the Commons accepts the deal. That way, many of the rebels can support the deal as the safeguard against no deal and then campaign to Remain. 3/

#auspol MP @StuartRobertMP charged taxpayers up to $2,800 a month for his home internet bills. He also spent $16,880 of taxpayers' money on "personalised letterhead stationery". PS: he has blocked me just like Bishop, Morriscum and others. abc.net.au/news/2018-10-0…
#auspol MP @StuartRobertMP also flogging $5800 per person tours to Israel. michaelsmithnews.com/2018/10/for-sa… He's an Evangelical just like PM Morriscum (his wife is a church pastor). Also ex-army. And seems to be abusing secrecy powers...
#auspol MP @StuartRobertMP in March demanded parliament apologize for not helping Jews in WWII: timesofisrael.com/australian-mp-… Even the Council of Australian Jewry said he was wrong: Australian took 15,000 Jewish refugees! Now he's Assistant Treasurer!

My MP @RowanRamseyMP has a "#MyHealthRecord" given the all clear article in the local paper & now I have to respond /1
And my first response is yes, older white men on six figures with fab pension plans certainly don't have privacy as their #1 priority... but that feels a bit snarky... /2
And then I think about how incredibly vulnerable some people in my area are. And how incredibly nosey and gossipy people in my area are. /3

Extraordinary #fakenews moment in #auspol. Let me explain. (thread)

1. Liberal senator @senatorlucy posts on Facebook claiming there are '10,000' scholarships available for African students coming up next year, funded by Australia.

sbs.com.au/news/fake-post…
@SBSNews #auspol
2. One Nation's @PaulineHansonOz slams a "disgraceful waste of taxpayer money”. Outrage ensues.

3. The Australian runs the story, claiming there are 10,000 places: theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/ha…

@mpsmithnews repeats the error: michaelsmithnews.com/2018/05/10000-…
4. I try to check the facts and there are lots of copy-pastes around the African scholarship web claiming "10,000" and lots claiming "1,000". I think one typo was amplified. See this post, for example, which links to the same page as Gichuhi, who has since deleted her post.

In the PM’s office, you’re either “compliant or an enemy’’ theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/ne… #auspol
'Another minister says: “The underlying flaw is he (Turnbull) just doesn’t have political judgment.”' And there you have Turnbull's real problem distilled. It isn't Abbott. It's him. #auspol
Here's the kicker, though: "Some of [Turnbull's] behaviour is described as “Ruddesque”." #auspol
