It's good to have the adults back in charge. It is hard to see Mr Potato Head and Scotty from Marketing making this sort of treaty.


So by this logic
Does that mean Rudd The Dud or Gillard weren’t adults?

Didn’t see them “making this sort of treaty”

They were too busy electrocuting tradies, overseeing mass drownings, self-righteous hypocritical speeches for the benefit of the political classes, the social media peanut gallery and childless wine aunts, pointless summits, courting vacuous celebrities and performative apologies for things that never actually happened.....you know the usual "adult" stuff... :shh

Mind you none of that is nearly as "adult" as *check notes* releasing convicted pedophile "asylum seekers"  back into the community..... :shh

Are you referring to the imminent release of those in detention due to the High Court ruling this week?

Yeah I'm sure it's just a coincidence it's happening under a Labor(sic) government...#adultsincharge :shh

Really?

I have no issue with your anti Albo rhetoric, really I don't. Great thing about a democracy is people can voice (no pun intended  ;D) opinions

You say coincidence but you have made a suggestion

So to even suggest that the High Court is supposedly being corrupted by the current government and its decison is one they been forced into by the government is one of the most over the top conspiracy theories of the last decade

Forget you are calling into question the integrity of said court

So when the same court quashed Pell's conviction under the previous federal government I didn't see any "suggestions" it was just a coincidence that it happened under a conservative government that was so heavily influenced by a number overtly religious "leaders and ex leaders"

Seeing the case was before the High Court while the previous government was in power that is a silly comment

Case was challenging laws passed while a coalition government was in power

FWIW while I accept the court's decison I don't actually like or agree with it
