I find it kind of weird that he keeps referring to Trade Union representatives as ‘Union Thugs’. I’ve been a nursing student then RN since 1971 & a union member since ‘71. I am yet to meet a nursing union ‘Thug’. We’re NOT Thugs: We care for folks when they’re vulnerable & needy.

In all the uproar over this LIV golf tournament, Greg Norman, the odious Saudis, Cameron Smith, blah blah…has anyone dared to suggest that the only thing more mind-numbingly boring than playing golf is watching other people play it ?
Good night.

Much bullshit about the Greens etc in the Senate blocking the Voice Referendum.They can't. The Constitution,Section VIII, says if the Reps pass the legislation twice in three months the GG has to rubber stamp the referendum.Too much for the Canberra press gallery to understand...

In high school the highlight of the student production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream was when the 2 football jocks playing star crossed lovers, Pyramus & Thisbe accidentally knocked themselves & their ‘wall’ onto the unsuspecting front rows of the ‘important’ folk in the audience

Yr8 son has just finished a 700 word essay on gender stereotypes in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. If that’s not woke Cultural Marxism I don’t know what is. I’m putting the Murdochracy columnists, all of them, on Red Alert Condition Zulu.

We don’t need a debate about whether it should be 7 or 5 days isolation. The two day reduction will get people get back to society quicker with no meaningful increase in numbers. The conversation we need to have is when to stop mandatory isolation entirely. #auspol #COVID19Aus

Ha ha. They must have made up.
It got pretty nasty back in 2017 when Brandis took on Spud who was busy building his Home Affairs Empire and trashing lawyers as ‘un-Australian’ for opposing locking up children in concentration camps.

So Alan Joyce is willing to be interviewed by for 15 minutes but only if it goes to air complete, uncut. Impertinent, bumptious little twerp, isn’t he. Even the Prime Minister doesn’t get that.

I knew someone who worked at TA. Morrison was 'Never here. Always out at long meetings and lunches with Liberal Party mates. He had the classic seagull management style: 'fly in, make a huge fuss, shit everywhere, then piss off again'. We hated him."

I was a victim of Robo debt. I was so frightened and didn't know how I had accumulated such a debt. I had recently been widowed and they said I owed them $20,000.00. I am still a member of my Union and I rang them. Thanks to them I was given the help of a Solicitor and a S C.
