#ABC730
2015: #Netanyahu claims #Iran will have nuclear weapons within a year.
2012: Netanyahu claims Iran will have nuclear weapons within a year.
2012: The Guardian: "Leaked cables show Netanyahu’s Iran bomb claim contradicted by Mossad"
Ted O'Brien, the new deputy Leader of the Liberal Party, is clearly gutted over the loss of his former LNP colleagues. 💔😭
I realise now what the disconnection was last night between #ABC730 host Sarah Ferguson and guest “nuclear” Ted O’Brien.
Sure it was the trench warfare of “I’m not going to announce our policy on your show.” A continuation of the Liberal Party avoidance of testable policy.
But it was also a refusal to acknowledge a factual change of circumstances.
Ferguson posed a question about a changed timescale - 3 years to the next election and a coal power phase out. Wouldn’t changed circumstances require a change of plan?
A simple “yes” would’ve worked. Or “yes, when the situation changes one must change one’s plan.” But O’Brien refused to engage and repeatedly used the excuse of the party needing to consider all their policies. He doggedly answered a question she didn’t ask.
By his own admission they have a lot of listening and learning to do - but he doesn’t seem to have started.
I don't like #NukedTed's policies, but oh boy do I like the way he refused to let Sarah Ferguson on #abc730 #730report interrupt him: (paraphrasing) "Excuse me Sarah, but first I will answer your previous question, and then I will address this new question. As I said earlier, I am not announcing our policies now, but we will be listening to the public to hear what they have to to say." #auspol
2023: Nikki Savva offers free advice to Peter Dutton and the Liberal Party in the wake of their shock loss in the Aston by-election.
They didn't listen to Savva. They listened to Peta Credlin and Rowan Dean.
"There's just no correlation between what News Corp says and what voters do, except, you know, for a few old people in grey cardigans somewhere," - Laura Tingle.
Well said @latingle.bsky.social, what a legend!

Laura Tingle exits press galle...
Who does deposed #Greens leader Adam Bandt blame for his loss?
✅ Boundaries
✅ The 'Dutton is Trump' factor
✅ Preferential voting
The media told us the BIGGEST issue was #CostOfLiving. The Greens repeatedly blocked Labor's #housing agenda.
Peter Dutton may be experiencing some discomfort after this weekend's election.
2020: "Barnaby Joyce signed off $80m for Angus Taylor’s old company after ZERO was paid for SAME SORT OF WATER (wet) nearby". 💰🌊
Did Barnaby help out Angus with his 2025 election costings?

April 17: From twitter, former Aus law enforcement @strangerous10:
“Michael Sukkar (#Liberal, Opposition Housing) turns down (ABC730) Sarah Ferguson’s final offer to let public know how many houses he plans to build & can’t stop Clare O’Neil (#Labor Housing Minister) from correcting the record. Calls out the “absolute garbage” from Sukkar that #LNP built 13,000 homes, reveals it’s in fact about “350”🤦♂️#abc730🔥”

Jacob Greber and the rest of the #Insiders panelists were easily impressed with Peter Dutton's half-baked responses on his #nuclear plan in the #LeadersDebate.
How much will it cost?
💰 $120 billion?
💰 $331 billion?
Peter Dutton will lie through his teeth during the ABC's #Election2025 leaders' #debate.
David Speers should be prepared for #TemuTrump's predictable lies.
Peter Dutton shows his softer side on the #Election2025 campaign trail.
@RichardSiggs
It was inevitable that Fergusen’s help was to no avail… Angus needs all the help he can get… but he still ‘tanked’.
