When The Chaser’s War on Everything premiered 20 years ago,it soon became the ABC’s most complained about show.
Far from the audience-thrilling rituals of political leadership challenges,this one started out as a flop.
Peter Mandelson,a former cabinet minister now facing calls for a police inquiry into his ties to the sex offender,forwarded private documents with his view that pressure needed “to be maintained” over Kevin Rudd’s doomed tax plan.
The latest disclosures reveal more about the full scale of Jeffrey Epstein’s network,well beyond the US and the UK,unmasking those who cosied up to the sex offender.
The former prime minister Kevin Rudd says he never met Jeffrey Epstein nor attended any meetings at his home as the US Department of Justice releases a fresh batch of documents.
When asked about Rudd potentially putting his hand up,Anthony Albanese said:“I look forward to the Australian media backing Australians for any position that they run for now and in the future”.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described Greg Moriarty as an “outstanding Australian public servant” in announcing he would take the prestigious posting.
Thanks to his long career as a public servant,Greg Moriarty has no social media posts to scrub or remarks he needs to retract. This sets him up for success.
Malcolm Turnbull backs Defence Secretary Greg Moriarty for the next ambassador to the US,while Joe Hockey thinks it should be Dutton.
Frontrunners for the post include former ministers Joel Fitzgibbon and Stephen Conroy,who once called Trump “moronically stupid”.
