Starting to think Roberts might not be all that bright

Here's some good news for once:

Daraprim drug's key ingredient recreated by high school students in Sydney for just $20
For $US20, a group of high school students has created 3.7 grams of an active ingredient used in the medicine Daraprim, which would sell in the United States for between $US35,000 and $US110,000.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

On Wednesday, conservative columnist Andrew Bolt had called for a "showdown" against the "neo-fascist left" at the event, saying Victoria Police should take a stand against the left's "intimidation".

Reminder that Bolt had previously distanced himself from Malcolm-Ieuan: Roberts., the living soul because of the latter's antisemitism.

Nah, its a power check position, like Defence or FA. Morrison ( a moderate) was put into that place (by Abbott) to absorb criticism. Dutton is Morrison's lunar-right counterpart now that the dusty old peanut shell-bloc of the liberal party holds the cards. It's prestigious and busy enough to occupy someone's attention longer than the designs of their ambition.

The odds are 21-1 and the maximum bet was $10, but it's enough to buy a few bottles of Zubrowka if it ever comes to pass.

Just with this new age of Trump, him coming out and being the most non-apologetically bigoted of late, the rightwing of the Liberal party obviously growing in power and Turnbull too useless to stop them... It's definitely not an impossible outcome anymore.

George Christensen will just sit on Dutton and suffocate him into a jacketed human baked potato and then consume his corpse to satiate his eternal hunger. As he stands Georgie will then take the PM mantle.

I mean it won't fit because it will need custom tailoring but he'll be able to wear it like a cape.

Where is Turnbull in this narrative? Where indeed.

Most drugs cost gently caress all to manufacture. Their industry is like the movie industry in that the marginal cost is basically 0. The real solution is to pump government money into research, but that's never gonna happen when desperate people and insurance companies are willing to foot the bill for private drug company's wares.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS
IT professionals are being hired on 457 visas in preference to Australian workers at the same time the NSW government outsources public services.

The Public Service Association has called for an urgent inquiry into the Baird government's decision to contract out public services, replacing full-time local jobs with overseas workers on temporary work visas.

In response to questions from Greens MP David Shoebridge, the government has confirmed it has used people on 457 visas to fill 32 full-time jobs following its decision to outsource ServiceFirst which looks after IT, human resources and payroll services. Minister for Finance, Services and Property Dominic Perrottet​ said that 32 workers "will continue in the role".

The other thing to note is unless the government is prepared to bring the amendment to the house and back to the senate, the opposing parties can do nothing.
