No, IMO to get you used to subscribing to something, that was free but is likely to become pay to watch, but everyone to their own beliefs.

A bit like the accelerating cost of the price of housing, was a problem three years ago, but now it is ok. ;)

Sydney house prices rise 10% this year is ok, because wages have gone up, but 10% of $1,000,000, is a lot more than 10% of a $70,000 wage.

Not much changes, just the spin on it.:xyxthumbs

I think this is what Dona was alluding to.
2019:

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has opened up about his shock divorce insisting his ex-wife Carmel Tebbutt blindsided him when she walked out the door.
And he’s revealed – despite reports to the contrary – that he never turned to dating apps to find love before meeting his current partner Jodie Haydon.

During an interview on Melbourne radio, he was asked how it felt to be “the first divorcee to become Prime Minister”.

Nothing sharper than a serpent's tooth than to have an ungrateful wife. :cool:

Of all things the PM or the government could be criticised for, his personal life is firmly off limits in my view.

It is not and should not be an issue even slightly.

Play the ball not the man. :2twocents

That would be a novel approach, when has that ever happened. ;)
Didn't you read any of the Morrison, Turnbull, Abbott, Gillard, Rudd threads. :roflmao:
And for gods sake don't even think about reading any of the Trump threads.:xyxthumbs

Albo hasn't relied on his family values (apart from his mother who is no longer with us), but Morrison did and made a big deal of having four daughters in order to woo the female vote.

I certainly agree though that the media should keep away from partners and children. That didn't stop them going after Tim Matheson or Theresa Rein, but that's the media for you.

When I see a politician going on about their family, I see that as just idle chatter to fill time because they've got nothing more substantial to talk about. :2twocents
 
It sounds like yet another hot potato, does Qatar airlines have anything to do with border protection, or indeed does Qantas have anything to do with processing people? Or is that the role of our customs department.

‘We were there for Australia’: Qatar Airways boss says flight decision unfair

In his first public comments on Qatar’s rejected bid since the controversy over competition embroiled the Albanese government, Akbar Al Baker told CNN the airline had done a lot for Australia during the pandemic.

King has repeatedly said her decision was made in the national interest and not in the commercial interests of any one airline, and granting Qatar’s application for 28 additional weekly flights in Australia would’ve set a new precedent.

The minister revealed the strip-searching of a group of Australian women at Doha Airport in October 2020 was a factor in her decision.

Geesh, how do you get away with this?

Peter Dutton has taken aim at the Covid-19 inquiry, which excludes unilateral decisions by state and territory governments, saying the inquiry terms “didn’t make any sense”.

“… The Prime Minister owes it to the Australian people to have a proper understanding of what happened during the course of (Covid-19) – good and bad – by every level of government … how do we expect to go into the next pandemic not understanding what had happened in the previous one?”

Mr Dutton agrees the Covid-19 inquiry is a “protection racket” for Daniel Andrews and Annastacia Palaszczuk and will not correctly examine the pandemic.

“If there’s nothing to hide here, then why not let the sun shine? I think the Prime Minister has made a deliberate decision to put the interests of Labor premiers ahead of our national interest and that is a shameful act from a Prime Minister who has been elected by the Australian people to provide support and to lead the whole nation,” the Opposition Leader said.

“I think most people will be quite stunned to understand that premiers who were responsible for lockdowns, the very significant number of deaths in Victoria, the mental health issues that still linger today in Victoria and elsewhere, are as a result of Daniel Andrews’ decisions – and he would be excluded from consideration in this inquiry.

“I think Australians are smart enough to smell a rat here and the Prime Minister has made a decision which is not in our national interest and goes against what he promised to the Australian public and its obviously been rolled out this week as a giant distraction to the disasters around energy and the voice that the Prime Minister is presiding over as well.”
