| 1640848374793633793 | @markgkenny @broomstick33 @MarieColemanAO @ANUausi I worked in his dept for a while in the 80s in a new unit he requested the dept set up to provide advice & run specific programs related to non-agricultural rural policy (incl education, health, employment & opps for disadvantaged groups). He was a visionary & a really nice man. | 4 |
| 1639089137402916864 | @markgkenny @vogrady2132 @canberratimes Do you know who the advisers are for the Liberals and Nationals. They have both turned very Right Wing. Never seen such a profound reversal of Centrist politics in my entire lifetime. They are a danger to society and the people of Australia. | 4 |

| 1639030281624780800 | @markgkenny @canberratimes Albanese has every reason to be emotional. The decades of work that he has seen done and then undone, the exceptional people he has worked with to navigate the Uluṟu pathway; I’m emotional too! Like the LGBTQI plebiscite, fear the worst but hope for the best. 2017 revisited eh? | 4 |
| 1639777892707217409 | @markgkenny @canberratimes @ANUausi Was out doorknocking the community in support of a Yes vote for the Voice. The vast majority I spoke to were very much in favour of it, keen to get it done. | 3 |

| 1641306162468651008 | While @markgkenny's is one of many political analysis re: the safeguard debate, it strikes me for another reason. Within, Kenny reflects that some of his earlier analysis may be wrong. Being open to saying this publicly is to be respected and encouraged. https://t.co/yVJRazLWD1 | 24 |

| 1639024935367745537 | @markgkenny @canberratimes I hope the rehashing of Abbott's tactics as LOTO fail miserably. It is time these very well paid politicians started working for the country as a whole not just their donors. | 19 |
| 1639770215558057984 | @markgkenny @canberratimes @ANUausi Wow! Powerful article, wonderful writing. Can only hope those "small hearted" conservatives read it and take it to heart! | 19 |
| 1639031809186078720 | @markgkenny @canberratimes We see Dutton. We see Dutton for what he is. He will always punch down. He can't help himself. It is how he is. He can't change. Loathsome. | 18 |
