. @CreaseyLuke ’s posts are simply foul. @billshortenmp and @AustralianLabor must immediately disendorse him in the seat of Melbourne. A candidate who makes rape jokes and shares pornographic material online is not welcome in the Australian parliament. #auspol

I’m sorry, Ollie, did you just say you had an “arrangement” with the Greens? And they dudded you by choosing a credible candidate? And now you’re mad at them because you’re polling so badly? Poor “independent” @_Oliver_Yates . What a terrible campaign you’re having.

. @_Oliver_Yates : When I went into the competition, we had a different Greens candidate. We had worked out how we were going to manage the arrangement . @PatsKarvelas : Did the change damage the chances of replacing Josh Frydenberg? OY: That would be the analytical assessment

It’s your money. Not government’s. Not the super funds’. And insiders who don’t have to worry about their next pay cheque shouldn’t lecture you for accessing it when you need it most. #auspol #earlyrelease #superannuation #COVID19au #COVID19Vic

Congratulations to @lidia__thorpe for achieving preselection for the Australian Greens to replace Senator @RichardDiNatale . As I wrote recently, there is a genuine camaraderie between women in the Senate. Welcome.

What an honour to work alongside the incomparable Marise Payne. Grace and dignity, diligence and duty, courage and compassion. An inspiration to so many women, our first female Defence Minister, and a forever friend. Thank you for everything, Marise.

Yikes Julia. A careless rookie error but also an expensive mistake. Who will pay for reprinting? @Getup ? Maybe @alexturnbull ? After giving him preferences surely @billshortenmp could chip in?

Her presence, enquiring mind and deep thoughtfulness will be greatly missed, in the Senate but also in the lives of those who loved her dearly. Vale, to a great Australian gone much too soon.

Seems the good doctor can’t take her own medicine. Bit early in the campaign to give up defending her views to a constituent and potential Parliamentary colleague. @AlboMP is this how you intend to run your campaign?

This is Labor’s candidate for Higgins. Labor’s candidate for Higgins undermined the rollout, public confidence in AstraZeneca and more broadly the health advice. When @AlboMP and Labor say they care about people before politics remember this. Ignore the rot. Get vaccinated.

Victoria has been languishing, not leading. Thanks to @JoshFrydenberg , and others who spoke up, Dan is now much closer to delivering on the National Plan. Victorians have been terrific, enduring the longest lockdown in the world and getting the jab. Now we need our lives back.

It’s no coincidence that the strong stand taken by @JoshFrydenberg , calling for Victoria to be put in the fast lane and given the same freedoms as NSW, preceded a late night scramble by @DanielAndrewsMP to ease restrictions. Read @australian ’s editorial

This is harassment, not protest. Anyone who can read a calendar knows that @JoshFrydenberg is in Canberra. The only people there are his staff, helping constituents. To harass and intimidate them like this does nothing to advance XR’s radical agenda, it is just cruel. #auspol

Liberal MP @NicolleFlint is speaking in the chamber now, and starts to cry as she says the safety of women in Parliament should be above politics. She's announced she'll quit at the next election, after being subjected to trolling, office vandalism and stalking #auspol

Thanks for encouragement but I won’t be running for Higgins. I worked hard to get to the senate, I love it there, & this is a great opportunity to bring extraordinary new talent to the Liberal Party line up. Proud to campaign alongside @KellyODwyer & new candidate for Higgins

Jim Chalmers is on the ABC talking down JobKeeper. He says it’s a mess. Reality is it has helped keep millions in jobs. Reminder: @JEChalmers was Chief of Staff to Wayne ‘these four surpluses’ Swan, architect of cheques to the deceased and pink batts.
