“#PeterDutton (Liberal) has dodged questions about his labelling of some organisations “hate media”.
At a press conference in #MossVale, a reporter referred to Dutton saying twice that some organisations, including the #ABC and #TheGuardian, were “#HateMedia” and that #journalists were #activists, asking what #questions the opposition leader had #disliked.
“I think what Australians are concentrating on only days out from the election is not the feelings of, you know, with respect, anyone [from the media],” the opposition leader replied.
The journalist interrupted: “You’re the one that’s taken issue”.
Dutton continued his answer, saying families were interested in what’s better for them and #promoted his #FuelExcise reduction and #TaxRebate. Another reporter asked: “Isn’t #blaming the #media just a convenient excuse at this point of the campaign?”
Dutton continued #speaking over #questions, saying the prime minister had no interest in stopping gangs. “I want to keep our country safe and that’s exactly what we’ll do,” Dutton said before walking away. Another journalist yelled about #integrity as Dutton walked off.”
The media has picked up the Opposition leader candidate in the last couple of weeks. Also a reminder that yesterday #ABC #4Corners shown last night, investigated Dutton for misconduct of business Interest declarations while he was a Minister in government.

See this pretty red rose? It’s in full bloom today on this same bush. I have so many questions! See the black tinge on outer petals? Never saw that before. Compare it with the sister blooms on the full rose bush photo of this post. #Bloomscrolling #Rose #Flowers #Questions #Phoenix
A few rose questions for someone who knows more than I about their care. This is 1 of 2 posts with my questions then I’ll share a couple full bloom roses for the beauty of it. First, how is it possible to get at least 4 different colors and types of roses on one large, many decades old bush? There are at least 4 different here. See that small cluster of 3, lower center. See the rose with tips of red petals a bit black and the 2 tone one mostly pale. Several are cool scarlet and others tend to red-orange. Last year this bush had only scarlet red with some orange or peach blushes. Last year this bush almost died in the heat wave of 115° for weeks. #Rose #Flowers #Questions #Phoenix.

“Here's where your political #leaders have been campaigning so far”
Where are they missing?
“Neither of the leaders has set foot in an #Indigenous community. That is despite the #PM's(#Labor) victory speech from 2022 opening with a commitment to the #Uluru #Statement from the Heart.” (NB: Labor was the Party to hold, “The Voice” referendum.)
“Mr #Dutton (#LNP / #Liberal / #Nationals / ##Coalition) has been noticeably absent from sites where 
#NuclearReactors would be built under his proposed #power plan, and he has deflected #questions from #journalists about when he might visit.”

“There is a “growing backlash” to the #Coalition’s #NuclearPlan, with #community groups furious at the lack of consultation and angered that the policy would not give local #communities the #PowerOfVeto and that #NuclearPlants would be built regardless of local #opposition.
Opponents say the pro-nuclear lobby group #NuclearForAustralia has been hosting #InformationSessions but that it makes it overly difficult for people to attend and ask questions, and is not able to answer those #questions that are posed.”

@devlille dans le cadre de vos conférences comment gérez vous les questions? J'ai souvenir à https://www.wids.se/ qu'ils avaient mis en place un système de #questions votées par le publique: ainsi les personnes qui se sentent pas sûr(e) de leur questions les écrivent en ligne et tout le monde peut voir et voter si la question est pertinente. À la fin du talk, le modérateur prend les questions aux meilleurs votes puis passe le micro à la salle si le temps reste. J'ai trouvé que cette procédure améliorait la qualité du débat car alors on obtient des questions par pertinence et non par sentiment confiance purement subjective du questionneur...

☭ There is a short story, about boys playing with a ball.
On the first paragraph something happens and the ball falls into a ditch or river and the current carries it away.
In the second paragraph, it says the same thing but the speed of the ball is expressed in numbers. The force of the current too.
This goes for a few paragraphs until at the last paragraph it's just one single but complex equation instead of a textual description.
Do you know the title?

The #Liberals have a candidate problem continued:
“Liberal #candidate #ScottYung and party officials have declined to answer detailed #questions about whether his use of #Chinese celebrities and a public relations firm in the 2019 #StateElection complied with official #guidelines, as the Liberal party confirms an #audit of campaign disclosures.
A private dinner at a “luxurious venue” in #Sydney to raise #CampaignFunds for Yung, featuring the former Liberal prime minister #TonyAbbott, has also been cancelled without explanation.”
…
“Wishing the talented young Chinese Mr #RongSicheng [Scott Yung] has great success ahead and a boundless future! All the best! I’m #ZhangTielin from #Beijing, #China.”
The cursed Liberal Christian name “Scott” strikes again.

Today we got "who invented homework?"
But usually it's more existential, frequently while driving. "What happens to my stuff when I die?" And "you are old, when are you going to die?"

What stands out to me in today’s #ForwardDaybyDay verse (Luke 2:45-46) & #TheDisciplesWay verse (Luke 12:16e-21) is that God is asking #questions of human individuals even though God has/is all the answers. It would be easy to see this as God wanting humanity to explain & justify their actions, & possibly square them with their beliefs or God’s laws. I don’t quite see it that way. God is clearly engaged in teaching moments in both these verses. What strikes me is that God is not dictating what we should do or think or say. Instead, God’s helping us discover that on our own & where we will go from that point on. For instance, the young Jesus leaves the temple with his parents after spending 3 days among the teachers. Presumably, his questions (& their answers) gave them much to reflect on. OTOH God’s questions expose the futility of the rich man’s selfishness & demonstrate that there are more important things in life (beyond protecting our wealth) that we are called to do, think, & say.
Imagine you can speak, write, and understand five languages. What is the likelihood you could meet up with another person who could do the same, and not have an overlap of even one language?
I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.
