In April 2017, Richard Boyle was at the ATO building in Adelaide when his work phone rang. On the other end of the phone was a taxpayer – later referred to in court documents as “Mr CC” – with "no assets, work or income", and a debt of $80,000… satpa.pe/ILqSMna

The Liberals use racism as a weapon against their opponents. They should shut up about cohesion they certainly don’t encourage it. I’m still furious about the African gangs rubbish from the last Liberal so called government
Bridget McKenzie can’t bear to listen & ends up scolded after asking about social cohesion when she just voted against a motion that says Australia welcomes “different races, religions & views…” Penny Wong “You voted against that so don’t address me about social cohesion!”🔥 #QT
Another new low for Murdoch's News Corp. In short, they broke a code of conduct on reporting a tragic death, ignored a grieving family's wishes for privacy, then created a fictitious narrative around their daughter's suicide for their own agenda. They are an absolute disgrace.😡 #mediawatch

What a ridiculous person.
A collection of clips from MSNBC of multiple Republicans getting booed at town halls this week.
An aside: journalism exists in an attention economy where demand drives editorial decision making. If you find something you enjoyed, learned from and that moved you, share and share widely -- even four days late. I, and others, don't get to keep doing this stuff if no one reads it.
Never a clearer example of the uselessness of Bernie Sanders & the other old, ineffectual Democrats. They comment, instead of trying to make anything happen. RFK Jnr will stay until he's entirely ruined the US health system, or the stupid supplements & steroids kill him, or he is removed.

Fair call, Julian Leeser saying clearly that he supports net zero is laudable. He didn't give a politicians answer, he said it unambiguously. Kudos also to the editor cutting to an earlier interview with Angus Taylor being hysterical about it. Well done Angus. #Insiders #auspol

Of COURSE!! NEVER miss an opportunity to blame the victim. Classic Goebbels inspired lefty rhetoric in full flow here.
It's telling that an Australian politician would sooner criticise the Australian government than a foreign government actively engaged in war crimes and genocide.
In committing genocide, Netenyahu has condemned all Jews to be wrongfully hated.
Speers should have asked Leeser why no foreign journalists are allowed into Gaza and Netanyahu killed over 240 journalists when he claimed Israel has press freedom. He is such a hypocrite.
Leeser is as weak as piss, playing the same victim card as ever. Israel is actively engaged in attacking Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Iran

Unfortunately Australia's horrible treatment of asylum seekers, detaining & exporting them to 3rd countries has been copied by the UK & the US. Not something Australia should be proud of.
It's a bit of rivalry with the US. They've always been impressed with our boat turnbacks at sea and shipping "illegals" offshore.. No price too high to pay to show off your conservative cruelty of the less fortunate..
No price too great for our punitive treatment of asylum seekers. Only the finest covert cruelty from us. #insiders

Point to America. What we're dealing with here — with the rise of Trump's fascist cabal of different law enforcement agencies — is a direct consequence of Americans not stopping the Patriot Act and other foundational blocks on which our current fascist reality is built upon. #Canada #BillC2 #C2

Julian Leeser and co should apologise to Australians for tarring them with accusations that turn out to be unfounded, that were always unfounded. Rather than blaming the Albanese govt, what has the Netanyahu govt done to exacerbate antisemitism? #insiders
