Gerrie Hoogland - Writer and Roman historian engaging in dialogue with the ever present ancient world. Rome was a gift. 🏛🦋✝️📿🇦🇺
I’m an ancient historian. I post a lot of quotes from the ancients, direct from my primary sources - what we historians refer to as our “history bibles.” Red for the Romans - Green for the Greeks. Known as the Loeb Classical Library, published by Harvard University Press.…
Ok, where is Australia’s most charismatic leader to form our own Sanseito party?

I guess Australian citizens will soon be charged a fee (hefty one at that) to have the “privilege” of entering Parliament House and the galleries to watch the darling elites perform their theatrical antics. DINO - Democracy in Name Only.
So far I’ve seen Sussan Ley strut her stuff with the sisterhood on their way into parliament’s first sitting; and a newly-elected bird in the Senate making a maiden speech with a baby on her hip who is in constant need of consoling. As if Australia isn’t already down under…
Ley and her Sisterhood thinking that the women of Australia take this seriously.
It’s my first Question Time as Opposition Leader, and my experienced team is ready.
We were definitely meant for greatness 🏛️

“A will that hell couldn’t break.” This is a very powerful thread🙏
The priest who made Hell tremble, so they sent a demon to stop him. He barely passed seminary. He was sent to a dying village no one cared about. By the time he died, 20,000 people a year came just to confess to him. This is the true story of the Curé of Ars 🧵:
JUST IN — Senator Alex Antic will introduce a Private Senator’s Bill to amend the Sex Discrimination Act, removing references to gender identity and restoring the definitions of “man” and “woman” — changes made under the Gillard Government in 2013.
Hell is empty; all the devils are here.
The House of @BarackObama Cards are falling! There is no place to hide!
Loving this idea 😁🏛
Once we conquier Australia, you will be ordained Supreme Ruler
I can attest to the humble tradesman knowing innately more about what is best for each of our lives than a multi-tertiary educated know-it-all. A great article on the Great Superiority Delusion by @DavidLeyonhjelm. “On the other hand, I am not aware of ever hearing a tradesman…
Can we bring this back, please. Femininity and beautiful rustic vases 🏛️

Sorry, but this country needs a Trump!
These are our priorities as we come back to Parliament this week.
Australia - this is where we are at.
If one side refuses to believe they are at war, the other side will always win. If one side acknowledges they are at war, but states "it is too late to do anything about it" or "the other side is already too powerful" then the other side will always win.
Australia is a failed nation.
Just to highlight the ridiculous. Two men are out free after entering my friend @LittleMonto96 Brisbane house with a knife. But you can get seven years jail time for carrying pepper spray for self defence.
The Liberal Party of Australia are hellbent on destroying this nation.
And so it begins... the Libs off to a great start.. not. Alex Hawke manager of business. Ouch.
These people have crossed every single line. Enough is enough, I'll do whatever i can in my power to unwind this nonsense and put Australia on an upward trajectory or die trying
Unbelievable. You send your toddlers to daycare… You put your trust in the school to look after them… …only to find out they’re being forced to do welcome to country every day. We’ve had enough. Drop the welcome to country!
