    Just saw this grab on the Channel Nine news. I profoundly disagree. And I find the new Premier's view that the law requiring people to report child abuse should apply universally - APART from the confessional - ludicrous.

    1:28
    Referring to Victoria's law requiring priests to breach confessional seal and report cases of abuse, next potential NSW Premier says catholic confessional seal is sacrosanct "no matter who and no matter what sins are confessed."

    Yup. But they will be Australians resting on the authority of the Australian people - not an English person appointed by God.

    Look it's cringeworthy but even under a Republic people will still get sworn in by a Governor or Governor- General/President.

    On all matters (and pretty much everything) I defer to

    If ICAC announces a public inquiry, they usually already know the answer. It's not only the grant to the Australian Clay Target Association, also under scrutiny is the Riverina Conservatorium of Music in Wagga Wagga. Seems favoursdone for her then beau Dazzler Maguire.

    The Daily Aus asked nearly 38,000 young people if they think Gladys Berejiklian should have resigned as NSW Premier. 61% of them said ’no’. About 31,000 people also answered if they support a federal corruption watchdog. 80% said yes.

    Is there a certain disconnect here? Do some people want an ICAC, but only want it to observe its statutory requirements when it is going after demonstrably horrible people like Eddie Obeid?

    👍 A big thank you to everyone who attended The Great Australian Trivia Quiz! We were blown away at how many of you attended – and hope to host another quiz night in the future. Our gratitude also goes to host Michael Nunan who did an incredible job!

    But you do watch Fox News and believe it, yes? And think Trump is great?

    Replying to @Peter_Fitz
    Some watch ABC and believe everything. Conservative news outlets don’t hide their bias. ABC NBC etc pretend to be neutral. That’s the difference.

    The PM rejects all notion of a Federal ICAC. Anyone surprised?

    "It's certainly not a model we'd ever consider at a federal level" Prime Minister on claims NSW's anti-corruption watchdog wields too much power.

    Ummmm. This is interesting, yes? And it fits with my reckoning: the LNP's best chance of holding on next election is with Stokes, not Perrottet.

    I am a voter. I would prefer as Premier for the next 18 months:

    Not at all. But when it comes with the flag, it is close to a statement: "I watch Fox News, and believe everything." How did I go? Am I close?
