And that’s what this country is supposed to be about.” - Senator Jacqui Lambie in Parliament lets fly at One Nation, which had introduced a bill intended to end coronavirus vaccine mandates.Jackie Langley earned her M.M. Being held accountable for your own actions isn’t called discrimination, it’s called being, you wouldn’t believe it, a goddamn bloody adult. You have freedom to make the choice but if you make a choice, those choices have consequences. If you’re able to get vaccinated, and you choose not to, discrimination is the wrong word. It’s just a fundraising exercise for them. “One Nation is not a fighter against discrimination. ![]() They are now the screaming tree frog, the robust screaming tree frog and slender bleating tree frog. And we didn’t know the difference, that’s ridiculous.” - Australian Museum’s frog expert Dr Jodi Rowley about the recent discovery, with the help of the citizen science FrogID project, that the bleating tree frog is three species, not one. “I want to confirm what the Leader of the Opposition said that in that text I did not tell him the destination of where I was going on leave with my family.” - Morrison finally ’fessing up. As you do with private text messages between private phones.” - Anthony Albanese in reply, then adding that no stage had the Prime Minister revealed where he was taking his holiday. “I can only speak to what I have said, as the Leader of the Opposition will know because I texted him from the plane when I was going on that leave, and told him where I was going, and he was fully aware of where I was travelling with my family.” - Scott Morrison, demonstrably mendaciously – yup – in reply. Why did the Prime Minister’s Office say that when it wasn’t true?” - Fiona Phillips, Labor member for Gilmore on the fire-ravaged NSW South Coast, in Parliament this week. “When my electorate was burning, the Prime Minister’s Office told journalists he was not on holiday in Hawaii. “All of the attempts to override state and territory and federal discrimination laws are extraordinarily unprecedented and extraordinarily dangerous in a democratic society like Australia.” - Equality Australia chief Anna Brown saying the statement of belief provision in the government’s planned Religious Discrimination Bill would license “new forms of discrimination” by overriding state and territory laws and allowing remarks that would currently breach those laws. “We lost the trust and faith of the Australian public.” - Royal Australian College of General Practitioners President Karen Price as GPs blast the federal government over its coronavirus vaccine rollout, saying a delay in rolling out targeted information campaigns left a “vacuum” for anti-vaxxers to spread their dangerous message. “Amping up the prospect of war against a superpower is the most dangerous election tactic in Australian history – a tactic employed by irresponsible politicians who are desperate to hang on to power at any cost.” – Penny Wong in a speech to the ANU this week, decries the Australian Government talking up the prospect of going to war with China over Taiwan. ![]() Or even, you know, journalists.įitz: What about regrets? When I put something laudatory on Twitter after your speech against anti-vaxxers, saying how much you’d evolved and grown in the role, most people said, “Yes, she’s great”, but a few attacked you over supporting the government on repealing the Medevac laws, meaning they controlled getting asylum seekers from off-shore detention centres, and not the doctors. But what’s even more worrying is public figures who support it. The less weapons we have, the better, and that’s really, really worried me. And that’s not where this country needs to go. You know, the ones who want to pick up arms, carry guns. But the far-right bothers me more than anything. But if you are gonna call me that and abuse me, I’m gonna go at you, but it was probably silly on my part.įitz: In terms of that kind of ugliness, and the recent protests you have so strongly called out, do you see the rise of Trumpism in Australia? But he called me a c-, so I went at him and I used my big drill voice, and he moved back. I had been letter-boxing for five days, and I was pretty shitty, and I probably should have just walked away.
