I agree, Nikki. It makes no sense to exclude the Port of Darwin from the new foreign relations laws.

And I agree with you, too, @murpharoo. The federal government's focus on universities does seem rather troubling, and seems at odds with their preaching on freedom. Hello, Freedom Boy!

Also agree with you, @annabelcrabb. The abrupt volte face must've stunned those in the uni sector who'd been working with the government on the foreign influence taskforce.
'Bonkers' is an entirely apt description.

Albo's doing pretty well this morning. No shortage of ammunition, given the debacle (to use the word of the week; I prefer clusterf***) on #AgedCare this week.
Good to see him mention the #NDIS as an area needing attention, too.

Albo also manages to slip in another couple of jabs on the #COVIDsafe app.
Good footwork, Albo.

He's not quite up to @billshortenmp's standard, but @AlboMP has landed a couple of zingers this morning.

Come on, Albo! Give us economists a bone and say 'marginal propensity to consume'. Please!
#insiders

Not a knockout, but @AlboMP certainly won on points against @David_Speers this morning.

Still confusion about who's in charge this far into the pandemic?
FFS! Get your shit together, folks!
Nice shout-out to Hamish, too. Good work, Hamish.

Today's #insiders has gone quickly.
I think it helps to have three panellists who are adept at the panel-show format: they pick up on each other's points, and don't wait to be called on to speak.
#auspol
I do love @annabelcrabb's turn of phrase: not many people could use 'exercised' (in the sense of 'animated') and 'berserk' in the same sentence.

Good to see the tragic situation with the woman pregnant with twins getting a run on #insiders.
But #ScottyFromMarketing's instinctive reflex to make political hay from it is more than a tad unfortunate.

"Anyway, I'll shut up", says @annabelcrabb at the end of her coda to Nikki Savva's point.
#insiders
#auspol
Also good to see the #Liberals branch-stacking scandal getting a run on #insiders.
Good points from Savva about the conservative Christian takeover of the Victorian Liberals. Hello, Karina Okotel. đź‘‹

I'm always happy to see @ellinghausen on #TalkingPictures.
Channelling @mpbowers's sartorial style, with a more youthful twist: love the sneakers; not sure about the hair.
#insiders
#auspol
Some excellent final points:
Crabb on remote attendance at Parliament; Murphy on @SenatorSiewert's announcement that she won't contest the next election; and Savva on Abbott's rumoured British trade role.
One of the better #insiders episodes this year.
