Like Scott Morrison, Linda Reynolds is always the victim.

Claims she was 'demonised as the villain' – yet wilfully ignores she constantly trivialised Brittany Higgins' rape, dubbed her a 'lying cow', bullied her, hounded her in France.

This is 'vile trolling' in itself. #auspol

The world is witnessing Israel annihilate Palestinians with unparalleled barbarity & zero care for Gaza's children. Yet Tzipi Livni, with breathtaking audacity, tells Sarah Ferguson they are 'within international law' & the ICC's Netanyahu move is 'immoral'.

JFC. #abc730 #auspol

What was a pivotal moment for women's respect as Grace Tame & Brittany Higgins boldly shared their sexual assaults in a landmark #NPC talk, Scott Morrison refused to attend.

He even refused to tune in.

The smallest act.

This is not doing 'everything he could' for women #auspol

It shouldn't fall on a competent few (Laura Tingle, Dan Bourchier) to honour fair & factual journalism, while hosts like Speers & Jennett merely parrot Dutton's agenda. If objectivity can't be upheld, as the ABC asks, they don't belong on air. #insiders #afternoonbriefing #auspol

It is an undeniable indication of Speers' dubious journalism & undying defence of the LNP that while Laura Tingle makes the cogent point of Dutton's 'dangerous' migrant rhetoric, instead of in-depth analysis, he swiftly diverts:

'Let's come back to the budget.' #insiders #auspol

Anyway, what's great about Gina Rinehart's big stupid sook (besides the ripper memes flooding Twitter) is the wonderful publicity it's giving Vincent Namatjira, who's tremendously talented. It's also ignited a renewed appreciation for Australian art. Dutton on canvas next #auspol

Gina Rinehart is a total sook, a precious petal like Peter Dutton. Some would argue that without painting a raw, boil-ridden arse, one cannot capture the essence of Australia's richest woman. Yet Vincent Namatjira expertly conveys this horror in a subtle portrait. Superb #auspol

A flop Dutton may want to forget.

Amid a dog's breakfast of #BudgetReply deflections forcing Sarah Ferguson urge he 'stay on topic', Spud shows he falls under scrutiny, has little for Australians & is no Labor threat.

To see him face Laura Tingle... #abc730 #Budget2024 #auspol

A #BudgetReply from Dutton thin on detail from housing to energy, bursting with hypocrisy & usual Thug fearmongering, dogged in bashing Albo & blaming Labor – best summed as Sarah Ferguson asks what we have seen:

Laura Tingle: 'Not very much, Sarah.'

#abc730 #Budget2024 #auspol

It's the very definition of courage Senator Fatima Payman calling out Australian leaders' 'performative gestures' as they audaciously downplay Israel's cruelty towards Palestinians. Her cry for humanity echoes conscience – rare among Labor & Liberals on Gaza. Power to her #auspol

First it was 'back to basics' used insufferably on #insiders to Speers.

Then came the mind-numbing echo of 'bandaid on a bullet wound' to Sarah Ferguson, rebutting Jim Chalmers.

Seems Labor isn't alone in surplus – so are Angus Taylor's dumb slogans #abc730 #Budget2024 #auspol

Firm questioning by Sarah Ferguson is always embraced. But when that devolves into hostile jabs & petty Speers-like disruptions, it dilutes analysis & curbs viewer learning. Perhaps Laura Tingle may have drawn richer insight from Treasurer Jim Chalmers #abc730 #Budget2024 #auspol

We should be rewarding, honouring the lionhearted efforts of #whistleblower David McBride for exposing Afghanistan war crimes.

Yet in Australia, truth-speakers are jailed, while war criminals walk free.

A dark day for democracy, for our justice system & for Mark Dreyfus #auspol

The lights are on but nobody's home.

In 17 mins with Speers, the best Angus Taylor could offer is 'no idea' on Dutton's asylum seeker botch & insufferable use of the inanity 'Labor must get back to basics'. Tragic ineptitude. Somewhere, Jim Chalmers is laughing #insiders #auspol

An interview of utter vacuity.

Is it any wonder the ABC's waning regard? A limp exchange between a chummy Speers & Angus Taylor so blank on Dutton's plans that a side exchange ironically captured it more aptly:

Speers: 'Any clearer?'
Niki Savva: 'Not really!' #insiders #auspol

You'd be forgiven for thinking Bettina Arndt has a type. Platformed the twice-convicted paedophile who repeatedly raped Grace Tame – now begs for cash for 'victim' Bruce #Lehrmann who she says 'suffered immense damage'. Did she miss Justice Lee ruling he raped Ms Higgins? #auspol

Dutton's LNP stoking division & hate, again.

To protest genocide isn't antisemitic. It's a basic human response to the murder of the innocent – for those with a dot of morality.

Where is Paterson's outcry for the 'safety' of Palestinian students bombed by Israel? #auspol #Rafah

We are witnessing the most wicked, inconceivable crimes against humanity in Rafah. Children crushed under concrete, families frantic to revive them, homes ablaze, aid blocked. Palestinians have nothing left.

PM Albanese & Penny Wong, feeble words to Israel are not enough #auspol

We are at the darkest point of this genocide – one that marked the unimaginable. 1.5 million Palestinians trapped in Rafah, drained, with only prayers left. Children among them, terrified, suffering Israel's barbarity. Despair, rage, heartache. The world is unrecognisable #auspol

It conveys such cowardice Paul Fletcher's refusal on #QandA to discuss Israel's Rafah assault, the genocide's darkest point. Copious concern for Jewish safety. But not one word for the 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza bombed & orphaned.

A Dutton script. This is not leadership #auspol
