Love the way he only speaks to the soft questions posed by his backbenchers. Propaganda!
You just have to FAULT lol
Well done Premier and leader of OUR GOVERNMENT, you are doing an Amazing job even though OBAers troll this site to spout HATE and JEALOUSY.
You can fool some people some of the time but you can’t fool all the people all the time OBA. This is why you are no longer leading this country, so long bye bye……
what a waste of questions to the PM. this could have been more productive with better questions
What a waste of a post. If you don’t have anything good to say. Say nothing.
Oh I forgot HATERS cannot stop themselves from knee jerking once nerves are hit.
We won, we are leading and the people spoke.
Airport is still open even though under renovation.instead of trolling Bernews go on BA, Air Canada or any US carrier and book yourselves a ONE WAY ticket out of here to where you negativity can prosper with a larger group
