Wow you guy's are unreal calling Mitt Romney a backstabber but Joyce and Canavan lovely blokes and all taking center stage when it was supposed to be a day of remembrance for the Brave Firies who lost their lives in the Bushfires.
Trump impeached4life auspol USA - If democracy is about party lines then democracy is now just a formality. This failed impeachment placed party politics above the principle equity & the rule of law -
Mitt Resentment 😉
Quite telling, Trump is the swamp
Someone who did not succumb to a bribe or threat. Good on you sir. You have moral decency. Respect ❤️
Why is it backstabbing to uphold the law?
It's not backstabbing, it's standing up for law and order. More politicians should try that novel approach.
He is now famous for something.
Just scrum Mitt you and the Democrats
Oh Mittens...
There is a judas amongst us, at the strike of 12 midnight he will vote against me. Go, and do what you must do judas.
Now I know where the term...’Trumped up charges’ comes from. Romney both stupid and treacherous.
I’m pretty sure that is supposed to read “Mitt Romney stands up against corruption despite politics.”
Hard to understand how so many men & woman can blatantly disregard their oath of office. A massive bunch of dishonorable, immoral lemmings who should be replaced as members of GOP.
Romney a very sick cowardly rat.
Good. He has done his duty for Democracy.
The Donald is more popular in Mitten's own state than Romney himself. How embarrassing yet again for Mitt.
I bet he is in a tight seat
To be fair he needs to do what he feels is right! The problem is everything in politics is just that...politics! Weird decision. Sour grapes
Perfect stank face from trump
Trump will have his revenge.
won't be long before he is former senator mitt ronmey

It is our duty to do the same for them,” Mr Morrison said.\n\n“That’s why we’re establishing a national and permanent rolling commission into veteran suicide and its prevention with the full powers of a royal commission.\n\n“This is about being forever vigilant for the care and well-being of our veterans. It’s our duty to protect our servicemen and women just as they’ve protected our community and our freedoms. \n\n'We need to do more than a royal commission that looks at the past.” \n\n\n\n\nIf you or anyone you know is experiencing distress, phone Lifeline on 13 11 14.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Great initiative.
