Who is Lehrmann really and why are politicians, media moguls and police colluding to protect him?
Is he a love child or an asset? Or does he just have a bunch of dirt on the right people?

Who the hell are you calling "lower class Australians"?
What do you think you are?
Money can't buy class...or intelligence.
You're proof enough of that.
Most Australians just don't have this over-the-top nationalistic "patriotism" that the conservatives are trying to import from America. John Howard lamented the fact, I believe, and wanted to ramp up the jingoism. It's just not Australian. We don't care. We just want the day off.
Someone was saying that Israel has a right to turf out Palestinians as Gaza, historically, belongs to the Jews.
By that reckoning, surely Australia's First Nations People have a right to kick all of us out and claim back their land? Or is that different?

From the Senate Estimates late shift last night.
Peter Dutton awarded Canstruct International a $1.8 billion contract despite having:
- No staff
- No assets
- No revenue
They did, however, have a rich history of political donations to the Liberal Party.
I have to seriously wonder about the mentality and intellectual capacity of people who think that Babet, Antic, Roberts and Canavan are high calibre contenders as future leaders of our nation.
It'd be hysterical if it wasn't so scary.

I'm wondering when Peter Dutton knew about the situation in Linda Reynold's office and, as overseer of the AFP, what he did with that information. Do you have any info that you could share with us, perhaps?
Today Peter Dutton said I’m not allowed to advocate for Queensland and I should “stay silent” instead.
Thanks for the advice, but I won’t be doing that.

Penny Wong and Katy Gallagher weren't members of the government in power in 2019.
Why aren't Morrison, Reynolds and Cash being dragged over the coals by the media. They're the ones who had their paws all over the alleged rape of the day.
Brittany's testimony has been unwavering. BL on the other hand has been outed as using coke and bending facts for his own benefit and destroying his own reputation. His goose should be cooked.
With the vile commentary about BH, it's no wonder she is leaving Australia to start a new life in France.
How malicious is Reynolds to try to have her move blocked by the courts?
Meanwhile, Reynolds claims she was so stressed she had a cardiac event & Brown claims trauma.
Imagine if Penny Wong, Bridget McKenzie, Linda Reynolds or Pauline Hanson behaved like Barnaby. The double standard from colleagues and the media is mind boggling. As is his apparent incapacity to see the damage he does to himself, ,his party and parliament
Queenslanders continue to turn against Labor with new polling showing Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is preferred PM over Anthony Albanese in the Sunshine State. Mr Dutton is more popular with voters over 35 and in regional areas.

Isn't it true that in October 2019 you phoned Ms Higgins and told her (paraphrased) you were checking in to see if she was ok? Didn't you tell her you were standing with her every step of the way? So, it's fair to say you knew of the alleged rape back then?
