AlboMP Albo please don't mention upper part of town or tax)))
AlboMP I wonder what he will say about coal? 🤔🤔🤔
AlboMP Good. I hope he mentions the government announcing they’re going to privatise all aged care assessment teams as well - putting both the assessment and referrals to nursing homes all in the hands of the same mob who run those despicable nursing homes.
AlboMP Note to Anthony: eventually you are going to have to replace the endless negative, with something positive. Until then nobody is listening. Relying on your opponent to fail (particularly when he isn’t) is NOT winning.
AlboMP Doesn't matter what he says, treat it with a grain of salt. Labor has a history of saying one think & doing something totally different. The trouble with Albo is that he believes everything that he utters.
AlboMP each way
AlboMP Extra, Extra! Opposition leader criticizes the government!
AlboMP What an easy gig!
AlboMP Yes and labor wanted to put them in the gutter by their cruel retiree tax!!!! Bloody hypocrit
AlboMP Neoliberal austerity is bi-partisan consensus, though.
AlboMP So we'll hear some of the Labor party's policies on education, economy, health, border security, defence, aged care, climate change, coal, gas, renewables, NDIS then? Something. Anything. Probably not. Just more dribble and criticism but no plans. Oh yeah closer to the election.
AlboMP
AlboMP Good on you AlboMP our elderly deserve so much better 🙏❤
AlboMP The ALP in Qld
AlboMP I know you have to woo them back. But seriously, the Elderly voted Conservative on mass at the last election and they reap what they sow.
AlboMP Many of which rely on franking credits to survive.
AlboMP Aged Care 2018 record funding $19.8 billion Remember So poorly were Labor managing the country's finances, 2012-13 Bill Shorten Labor govt provided only $6.5 billion to Aged Care Do you really want a Labor-Green Govt back? Greens still want a Death tax

Private citizens should ‘seldom be sanctioned’ for exercising free speech | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says free speech is 'not about selecting what you want others to say, it is not about choosing sides, but it is about free speech as a principle”. \n\nThe comments came after Prime Minister Scott Morrison threw his support behind a firefighter who criticised him at the height of the bushfire crisis. \n\nMr Kenny said free speech will “always be an issue,” but “when private citizens air their own views, they should seldom be sanctioned”. \n\nPaul Parker claimed he was removed from duty after he was filmed launching an expletive-laden rant at the prime minister on January 25. \n\n“Now this bloke dined out on this spray, fair enough, many would disagree with him,” he said. \n\n“There were reports yesterday that he had been dumped by the NSW rural fire service and the anti-Scott Morrison media were up in arms. \n\n“All fair enough, it turns out he hasn't been dumped anyway… and nor should he have been.”\n\n This has got nothing to do with discussions over free speech. Goodness gracious! I agree, though none of us can do it at WORK so some decorum is needed
