@David_Speers

Not the most adventurous suit/shirt/tie combo from @David_Speers tonight.
I'm not really a fan of shades of purple or maroon for the tie when you're wearing a navy or Blue Suit.

#QandA

@Barnaby_Joyce

A better suit than usual from @Barnaby_Joyce tonight.
Not quite enough shirt cuff for my money.
Still referring to 'the Ukraine', though. 🙄
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#QandA

@JEChalmers

Neat hair and a classy suit/shirt/tie combo from @JEChalmers tonight.
Just enough makeup to avoid shine without looking like a clown.
The tie would sit better with a tie bar. #JustSaying

#QandA

@David_Speers

Lovely shirt cuffs tonight, too, @David_Speers.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#QandA

Not enough shirt cuff from Paul Kelly but I'm surprised by his shirt and hair, both of which are classier than I've seen on him for yonks.
The tie knot is off-centre, alas.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#QandA

Questioner Liam has to be a rugby player, doesn't he?
The width of his neck, the haircut and the choice of shirt all say he is.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#QandA

@JEChalmers

Who wears it better: @JEChalmers or @Barnaby_Joyce?
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#QandA

@Barnaby_Joyce

The questioner didn't seem impressed with @Barnaby_Joyce's answer to her question.
Meanwhile, the bloke in front of her has good hair and specs.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#QandA

I like the colour of Speersy's boots and socks but would've gone for shoes rather than boots.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#QandA

Questioner Ken has Big Public Servant Energy.
The shirt is a tad too much of a tablecloth vibe, though.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#QandA

@SciNate

Questioner Jasper is a credit to his Campbell High School peers and teachers.
Good hair, too.
Has slight @SciNate vibes, don't you think?
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#QandA

Questioner Jasper is cute, if you like your blokes young, but the guy on front of him is hot!
Has a teacher vibe.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#QandA

This audience member is paying close attention to answers on the question of term limits for politicians.
I love the specs and chrome dome.

@David_Speers

A first look at @David_Speers.
The watch messes with the left shirt cuff.
I'll be keeping an eye out for shoes (probably those f***ing boots) and socks. Also on the coffee plunger.

@Birmo

I don't think I saw this light blue tie, white shirt and grey suit effort from @Birmo, replying to the #BudgetReply.
It's classy but unadventurous.

@David_Speers

Slight crotch whiskers from @David_Speers this morning.
The hair is overstyled, as it so often is.

@JoeDoesNews

Who wears it better: @JoeDoesNews or @MattDoran91?
The lapels and ties are conspicuously lacking bling, gents.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#ABCNewsMornings

@mf_rennie

Just how quickly does your beard grow, @mf_rennie?
I like the shirt but it's a rather bland. Couldn't you liven it up with some bling?
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#ABCNewsMornings

I know it's important for people to know the rank of police officers but the hi-vis under the epaulettes is not the most attractive look.
A traditional police cap rather than a baseball cap would've been better.

@JakeLapham

Is it just my imagination or were you shivering during this cross, @JakeLapham?
An extra layer would've been a good idea.
Do you not have an ABC News rain jacket?
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#NewsBreakfast

@mjrowland68

I had another shot of you, @mjrowland68, but chose not to use it.
I thought we'd retired this suit?
Good hair this morning.

@SciNate

Love the socks, @SciNate!
Still persisting with the error of blue jacket and black slacks, @Tonaaayy_? Whyyyyy?

Here's one for you, #CopyEditing and #SubEditing Twitter (esp. those of you outside Australia who don't know the context):
If the headline reads "Outgoing senator shines light on bullying" does 'outgoing' refer to the senator's personality or her impending departure from office?

Here's the story (for those interested, though it's probably paywalled):
canberratimes.com.au/story/7680391/…

A similar question arises with this headline: "‘Partisan football’: Second retiring Coalition senator lashes government".
Is Senator McMahon one who avoids the spotlight or one who is leaving the political arena?

@AlboMP

Looking sharp, @AlboMP.
@RichardMarlesMP also looking smart tonight.
Both @tanya_plibersek and @terrimbutler show the blokes how to combine colours more creatively than just a grey or navy suit with a white shirt.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#BudgetReply
#AusPol

@BOConnorMP

Also bringing his A-game is @BOConnorMP, although the tie knot is just a smidge asymmetric.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#BudgetReply
#AusPol

The grey suit trend has infiltrated the second row of the government benches but the front bench remains in thrall to The Blue Suit Cult (or the navy near-neighbour).

Ed Husic is on fire, both rhetorically and sartorially, on #AfternoonBriefing.
I'm not sure about the blending of the hair on top with that on the sides but love the greying beard.
The tie and the 🇺🇦 lapel ribbon are excellent.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary

@GregJennett

The tie is generously proportioned without straying into tablecloth territory, @GregJennett.
The suit and shirt are good and the hair is excellent.

@beejaymac10

The indefatigable @beejaymac10 looking sharp as he reports from Lismore.
Love the hair, Bruce.
As he said, five years to the day from the 2017 floods.
