A Victorian Liberal MP who slugged taxpayers almost $8000 to fly to Europe for a month now faces scrutiny from Victoria’s anti-corruption watchdog over an Arctic cruise she listed as parliamentary business > bit.ly/3WqNuj4

How humiliating for NSW Police and Premier @ChrisMinnsMP ... the 'dangerous weapons' being handed by enthusiastically at the start of this buyback?
Most of it is worthless junk that wouldn't be capable of firing even if you wanted it to.
This is literally people cashing in on scrap metal.
It's barely started and its already failed.

After all these years, I'm finally getting the political game.
Red do bad job. People look at blue to do good job.

Just give it some time. I'm sure it will get better.

Labor getting the calculator out at Jess Wilson’s costings?? Excuse me? What a fking joke! These same @VictorianLabor financial vandals racked up a $200B debt and handed $15B to bikies crooks and organised criminals! #VicVotes
I used to read this quite a bit - back before it became most political screeds

Gagging government agencies because they might say something the government won't like.
Absolutely wild stuff from the Albanese government, who once claimed to be paragons of transparency.

Victorian LABOR will STOP AT NOTHING TO GET BACK INTO POWER!
LABOR Politicians are now using the Public School Communication System COMPASS to spread their propaganda to parents making all sorts of individual School Upgrade promises IF THEY’RE VOTED BACK IN.
Neither major party is being honest about the state of Vic's finances - but of course Labor is the one responsible them
Pressure is mounting on the Victorian Liberal Leader to explain how she plans to repair the state's deteriorating balance sheet. afr.com/politics/jess-wilson…

"Why Rugby League needs a Tonga v Samoa final" - enjoyed reading this on BBC Sport.
You can be left in no doubt what it means to the players after reading their quotes.

How can Victoria’s Labor Treasurer be offering financial advice to the Libs?
Labor has created a $200 billion debt crisis.
They are so sloppy and corrupt they let $15 billion go to criminals and bikies through the Big Build.
So I couldn’t believe it when Labor Treasurer Colin Brooks criticised the Liberal Party’s election costings.
Whatever the Libs costings are, one thing is certain.
I wouldn’t trust a single thing Labor says about money or budgets.
It would be like taking knife safety advice from Jack the Ripper.
Labor are financial vandals.
If elected, I will make sure every single tax dollar is respected by governments, and never, ever wasted.
Let's WIN Mulgrave!

As I much as I love bagging Albo and JImflation, interest rates are about where they should be
If you have artificially low interest rates for too long you will get distortions in the economy, asset booms, capital & savings will be underminded
..and govt's will borrow too much
