And as a result, we have #AlboPM doing a #JohnHoward and sending #ADF personnel to the war zone. What a clusterfuck.

@earthmothering9 Oh wow, a whole book on where it all went wrong? Bold of Amy to assume it didn't start going wrong the second Little Johnny picked up the keys to the lodge. Enjoy the read—may it come with a strong coffee and even stronger sense of impending generational doom

IS THIS THE SPEECH OF THE DECADE? Amy Remeikis comes out with guns blazing on the back of her new book 'Where It All Went Wrong: The Case Against John Howard'. If you are sick of political doublespeak and sick of our dysfunctional economy, you will love this. I'm buying the book!! Please boost! @auspol #JohnHoward

The 'Bringing Them Home' report on the #racist seizure of #AboriginalAustralian children was released in 1997, but Liberal #JohnHoward refused apology. In 2008 on #ThisDayInHistory, under Labor's #KevinRudd, an apology for the barbaric #WhiteSupremacist practice was finally made.

Tony Abbott intervenes in Liberal leadership battle calling on right to unite to oust Sussan Ley

It hurts me to say this, but: Susssan Ley is right. She's recognised that if the Liberal Party is to survive, to present itself as a credible Opposition, and have more than just a dream of winning an election in the next decade, it needs to be overhauled.

Susssan Ley has a mountain of work ahead of her if she's trying to reform and modernise the Liberal Party. This comes after years that cannot be swept under the carpet, and memories that stretch back so far in people's minds that we have a clear picture of what is "normal" for the Liberal Party. Some people like Tony Abbott want that "tradition" that he was part of and benefited from to persist, and for the rest of us to forget the aspects that were terrible for most people in Australia.

But, who can forget the lies and racism and RWNJ extremism resembling Nazism of the Malignant Potato Peter Dutton, the lies and racism and self-serving religious quackery of the Liar from the Shire Scott Morrison, the lies and racism and outrageous sexism and anti-intellectualism and cruelty disguised as boofheadedness of The Mad Monk Tony Abbott, the lies and racism and nonsensical neo-con ideology of Malcolm Turnbull, and the lies and racism and mean-spirited divide-and-conquer class-warfare of John Howard?
