The Daily Breakdown

Here's a challenge for you: find a bigger bastard than Malcolm Turnbull. Or a more petulant child than the former PM. Should Chris Bowen have read the Banking RC recommendations before he agreed to implement them? And has ScoMo found his mojo?

The Banking RC will empower Leftie activists to influence companies in which they have no stake (and that ain't good). Just look at what damage Lefties have done to the ABC. And we 'welcome' the return of the execrable Q&A.

The government has agreed to a cross-bench proposal to create a medical panel to decide the fate of asylum seekers, but will it restart the people smuggling trade? The last children leave Nauru - a huge win for the Morrison Government they won't get credit for. And is it right for a registered charity to lobby foreign governments against Australia's national interest?

Could Scott Morrison actually win the 2019 election? Will we ever stop talking about Australia Day 2019? And facts to combat the latest lunacy from Davos.

Attacking Australia Day, the flag and the anthem are all linked - they are baby steps to the republic. We outline the strategy and why it will work unless fight on all fronts. Adnwe analyse the attacks on Warren Mundine and a man gets a call from the police for posting a limerick.

Sophie Monk doesn't need a quota system to be Australian of the Year, and why you should ask who's paying for Julie Bishop to attend the Australian Open.

We dissect why the Liberal base is bored, why the Battered Wife fish shop owner shouldn't have been surprised there was a backlash over that name and let's pray Clive Palmer goes to prison
