This tweet by @AlboMP aged like milk. Albanese campaigned on fixing the "triple whammy" in 2022. Fast forward to now: inflation is back up to 4%, real wages are falling, and interest rates just hit a 15-year high of 4.60%. He gave us the exact receipt for his own failure. 🍿
Australians are being hit with a triple whammy of skyrocketing costs of essentials, falling real wages and now an interest rate hike. They need a government with a plan to ease the cost of living.

The last time interest rates were this high, Julia Gillard was PM and Wayne Swan was Treasurer. 15 years later, the squeeze goes on. 📈🇦🇺
p.s. Never forget that Simon taught Spin Jim everything he knows. 😉 #auspol

Blocked because real data broke her narrative. Claiming 25% of men are rapists incorrectly labels 23.2% of Australian men who are absolutely not, using fake stats to attack males. Call out misinformation with official stats and you get blocked and called part of 'rape culture'.

Funny how you hate 'one-size-fits-all' when it comes to social justice, but demand it the second it’s Grand Final week. Missing a lifetime milestone for a low-impact clip is disproportionate punishment. Context matters in footy just as much as it does in life.
Lachie Neale intentionally struck Jack Ginnivan in the stomach, off the ball, in the preliminary final. He got a one-match ban, meaning he'd miss the grand final.
At the Tribunal, his team argued his "exemplary record" should get him off. The Tribunal heard it, weighed it, and rejected it. The ban stood.
So they took the exact same argument to the Appeal Board. No new evidence. They didn't even dispute the strike. Same facts, same record, same plea. This time the "good bloke defence" worked. Ban overturned, $10,000 fine, and he plays.
Except his record isn't clean. He's been found guilty eight times before, three for striking opponents in the body. And nine other players were suspended for this exact offence this season. No pass for them. The star got one, in grand final week.
So what are kids learning? That who you are matters more than what you do. That if you're good enough, the rules bend. And if the first answer doesn't suit you, keep asking until you get one that does. This is moral relativism in action. The act didn't change. The finding didn't change. The evidence didn't change. The only thing that changed was how much the person who did it matters. Once right and wrong depend on who you are rather than what you did, there is no standard left, just a sliding scale that always tilts towards the powerful.
It's the same "good bloke" logic we've spent years fighting in courtrooms, where reputation and standing are used to soften consequences for harm.
And here's what moral relativism always hides: the standard doesn't disappear, it just shifts onto everyone else. Leniency for the powerful is paid for by harsher judgement of the powerless.
A rule that only applies to some people isn't a rule. It's a privilege. And yesterday the AFL told every kid watching exactly who that privilege is for.

Tony Burke wants us to fix housing by filling "empty bedrooms." He should lead by example. Sell your holiday rental and 4 investment homes to first-home buyers, then encourage your Labor mates to do the same. That’s how you actually free up housing stock. #auspol

Albo promised he wouldn't be a PM who just shows up for photo ops. @AlboMP Tell that to the 600 Whyalla workers sacked today. In 2023, he used them for a green photo-op promising a 'bright future' (see below tweet). Today, they get redundancies. #AusPol
#BREAKING: Hundreds of workers in Whyalla will lose their jobs as a result of a decision to permanently shut down the blast furnace at the South Australian town's steelworks. It is expected the decision will mean 500 workers will be out of a job, as well as more than 100 contractors working at the site. abc.net.au/news/2026-09-14/h…

Absolutely outstanding interview from Isaiya Katoa after a tough battle in NZ. To handle himself with that level of class, composure, and humility at just 22 years old proves why he’s a leader. An absolute credit to himself and the club. 🐬🌟 #PhinsUp #NRLFinals #NRL

Talk about a complete U-turn. In 2020, Daniel Best explicitly posted that "Hastie is not a war hero" and has "questions to answer." Fast forward to 2026, and Hastie is suddenly a pillar of "strength and character" just because he’s fighting One Nation. The receipts never lie.
I can't stand the current Liberal-National Party, but I will say this. If I had to pick one politician to fight for my life, it'd be Andrew Hastie. As a politician, I'm not that overjoyed, but, as a person of strength and character, I'd back him in any day over any of the One Nation caitiffs, all of whom would fold the instant things started to get tough and difficult.
Hastie is right. Hanson and Joyce are cowards and frauds. They have no place in any ANZAC Day ceremony, or any place near veterans.

Funny how the narrative shifts. In 2019, this account claimed Hastie was using legal threats to "suppress the truth." Now he’s suddenly a pillar of "strength and character" because he's fighting One Nation? The enemy of your enemy isn't a hero.

Actually, nicotine consumption is UP since 2017 because the high excise created a massive black market. Illicit cigarettes and vapes bypassed tax deterrents, driving smoking numbers higher. Continuing the same failed policy isn't working—we need a different approach. #AusPol
The illicit tobacco industry is a policing and health issue, not a tax one.
66 Australians die every day from tobacco smoking. If the excise is cut and cigarettes are cheaper, people will smoke more.
We should deal with illicit tobacco as we do with illegal alcohol, drugs and firearms - by strong border controls and effective policing.
