Next Federal Election

Seems to me that truth is now a wholly subjective concept at the ANU. What amounts to a Nazi Salute and a Hitler Moustache to some students might not be a conclusion that adequately considers the truth of the students alleged to have performed the gestures. The ANU’s Vice-Chancellor tasked herself with establishing the truth of whether the performance of these gestures, of which vision exists, did, in truth, occur. Her investigation – presumably taking into account the ANU’s proscribed notion of the truth and after having measured the value of the truth of the various parties – has found, in truth, that these gestures were not to have happened. There was no incident, despite the footage that shows an incident. The investigation doesn’t deny the existence of the footage that shows the incident happening, only pointing out that there was not, in fact, an incident.
I might be missing something, context probably, but for my truth, Josh Burns was heroically restrained in the expression of his incredulity as Genevieve Bell gave a bravura performance in her quest to out-Claudine Claudine Gay. The Vice-Chancellor, it must be said, was superbly assisted by her counsel, the enigmatic and splendid Grady, whose sublime talent for seductive logical contradiction almost knocked poor Josh out for the count.
I don’t know if binding precedent results from this matter - it surely deserves its place in legal history - but there is a Neighbours alumni fellow down in Hellbourne whose alleged predilection for this sort of carry on has landed him in a spot of hot water. There is footage. True footage, you’d think. Assuming the accused hasn’t been diagnosed with late onset exculpatory autism by now, and that Dennis Denuto, having hung up the peruke, is no longer available to argue the finer points of obiter dictum, he’d be well advised to avail himself of the services of the Splendid Grady.

Israelis holding mobile phones, the other side holding automatic weapons with their faces masked. Hiccups likes AK 47s more than phones apparently, but each to their own.
Might wanna reconsider your username.
Or we could keep taxing the mining companies properly....
Better economic managers....

Andy-Mac. Hi mate.
Let’s tax big companies including mining the right amount, just like the rest of us.
Piss off all concessions and tax free mineral acts etc.
We are on repeat play , following that useless US model, like Bernie said a few days ago, the rich are getting outrageously richer and the ‘poor get the picture’ (Oils).
As a nation, let’s get cracking, we should have no debt, housing could be very affordable, hospital and dental free, universities free and no HECS debts because older politicians got a free education
Invest in Australia’s future, not just tomorrow or the next upcoming election. That model hasn’t worked. Spoken by the AW Party for a fair go, for all, not some.
Greens are making PRRT an election issue andy-Mac. Be good if the public got on board and put the wind up Labor to do something. LNP will never do anything except the bidding of the big miners. Anybody remember Scomo’s Gas Powered recovery. They just failed to send out the invoices.
Might as well put this up in the politics subforum, to spare the front page. It's 18 months away or so, but here we go.
This is how Dutton wins:
