And after Bill ordered the man be blocked from every work site in the land ....shit I’m running for PM and it became a ‘misunderstanding’

Sounding like lies Andrew. Either that or you haven't done your research. Oh well. Couple of sucker punches on Bill. Well played tough guy. Smh

Do you still believe the Murdoch lies he was suspended? BWAHAHAHAHAHA the company has come out and had to clear up the record they have never suspended him, nothing happened to him.... You believed Murdoch's lies 😂😂😂 When will you wake up?

This is just BS from Bolt and the CM!

Where is his 'Fair go '?

It simply demonstrated that a Gladstone Port worker is far smarter than Shorten, and he caught him out.

Theres an intolerance of intolerance...

Funny how the Left seem to come up with some many theories of why this union worker is suspended other than what’s mentioned in the article and yet not of them actually match. I supposed the Left will just make up stories however it fits their imagination.

jesus you guys are milking this for all it's worth. Guessing he'll do an ' exclusive ' interview with you tomorrow night ?.....

Not Steve Dickson, not Fraser Anning, not Clive Palmer...?

Not an employee of the GPC Therefore nothing to do with the QLD government. He is a subcontractor there was an issue with his security card his employer has acknowledged the misundertanding. He was never suspended. matter was resolved prior to to the publication of the article 🤷🏻‍♂️

Australia should export sheep in a ‘sustainable way’: National Farmers Federation | Sky News AustraliaNational Farmers' Federation CEO Tony Mahar says the farming industry fears Labor’s commitment to phase out live sheep exports could trickle over to other animals, calling instead to maintain the trade ‘in a sustainable way’.\n\nMr Mahar has told Sky News that exporting sheep is a ‘viable trade’, but Australia should ‘commit to better regulation and reduction in animal welfare incidents.’\n\nMr Mahar’s remarks come after the non-profit organisation established an election-priority platform, which includes responses, from Labor, the Liberals and the Greens, to a range of farmer-focused priorities. \n\n\n\n\n There IS no sustainable way to maintain this vile trade. Time and time again we see footage of just how cruel live export is. It must go. It's what the majority of Australians have been calling for. This really is an idea whose time has come.

The rise of minor political parties in Australia | Sky News AustraliaFrom One Nation to the Greens, the rise of minor parties has become an integral part of modern Australian politics.\n\nOne in four Australian voters are expected to turn to minor parties in the upcoming election. \n\nWith far smaller teams and budgets, and less experience, the fight is extra tough to bring awareness to these parties with a total of 58 registered options ahead of the upcoming election. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n I think at least that many. I was thinking %35 & 40 would be good. Hope I am right. Not really but will Vote below the line to preference who I want Politicians from the major parties don’t represent their electorate, they represent their own parties. Too much rigid party control. The entire system is obsolete and needs a major overhaul. Auspol AUSVote2019
