Last Post: Greens leader takes a ghasty stance on Israel

Never has a politician been more deserving of the rebuke “shame on you” than Greens leader Adam Bandt for suggesting Israel is to blame for Hamas’s brutal execution of Palestinians (“Ghastly, twisted morality of the Greens”, 1 / 4).

If the Coalition is putting its best foot forward so far, then welcome in another three Labor years.

It took US voters four years to understand the chaos of leftist policies. I hope Australians catch on after three – six will be disastrous.

If the anti-Israel protesters are planning to demonstrate against racism, I suggest every one of them carries a mirror.

So Peter Dutton, the man who wants to crush working from home, has decided that he would prefer to be a prime minister operating from Sydney rather than his workplace in Canberra. The hypocrisy is breathtaking, let alone the cost to taxpayers of flying him to and from Canberra each day.

Peter Dutton says he would live at Kirribilli House if elected prime minister. Will someone please tell him the seat of the federal government is in Canberra, not Sydney?

The Australian federal government fails to understand that the Chinese research vessel could be a prelude to the arrival of a Chinese fishing fleet, which will in the daytime lie just off Australia’s territorial waters and then at night move in to remove our fish stocks, as they have done to The Philippines and other nations.

I have a suggestion for Peter Dutton if he is asked how much his gas policy will save the taxpayers. He needs to reply $275. Easy.

Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen thinks he and his committees can predict and control extreme wind and hail storms. What is plan B if solar fields and windmills are severely damaged? Don’t need one. Simply blame the opposition.

Peter Dutton should give RepuTex a call for his gas energy modelling, especially as Albanese and Bowen don’t appear to be using them anymore (“ALP’s ‘private power price claim’ ”, 1/4).
