We like to pretend politics is all very complicated - while often failing to provide the context that tells the actual story www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Stage 3 tax cuts: $20 billion. AUKUS subs: $368 billion. Public housing? “Sorry mate, no budget.” Hope you enjoy tent life under the umbrella of American imperialism. #auspol

America is the psychopath. Grump is just the current version.

If US companies don’t want to pay tax on profit they take from Australia they should be told to cease trading here. Better a profit minus tax than no profit at all. If our government won’t stand up we must. Don’t give the US any business, here or anywhere else. It’s time. #AusPol

The ultimate goal of food banks should be to not exist, so allowing certain ones to grow and become national chains, with all the commercial interests and need for survival that entails, is counter productive.

Your weekly reminder that you can’t litigate or legislate your way out of dictatorship. It’s a design feature, it doesn’t work that way. If you could it wouldn’t be dictatorship, it would be a functioning govt and judiciary.

I'd love to hear from the "it's the voters fault we're in this mess" crowd on how they view the Mamdani victory. A progressive candidate was given the opportunity to run against an establishment Dem and voters showed up. Perhaps the voters aren't the problem, perhaps it was the candidate.

True bipartisan policy to destroy public education. Henry's holding the nails while mins is driving them in as we speak.

We all have the right to refuse to participate. Don’t add value to businesses you don’t see as sound. #AusPol

The top of the ABC, and most importantly IMO, Ita Buttrose, came out looking rather pathetic www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...

Confection.

Oh the “good ALP” are being allowed to speak now so we forget that they belong to the party that has been cheerleading a genocide for years.

The fact we are making ourselves more dependant on US military assistance, not less, is fundamentally insane. We cannot rely on the US as a security partner, how obvious can that possibly be before the UK security establishment takes it in?

We voted for albo and ended up with trump controlling our foreign policy and bibi controlling our media.

I don't think they've been too soft. I think they've been quite clear about where they stand on children being slaughtered.

Not just basically the same thing. Exactly the same thing. Great work penny.

Just flicked on a few minutes of MASH. Another war the US should have had no part of - where the damaging consequences are still being felt today. It really is the US isn’t it? They’re the villain - and have been for decades #auspol

“There is now a widespread belief that Netanyahu will not stop with Iran.” www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/isra...

Repost this people #auspol

Melbourne/Naarm yet again taking to the streets to protest our holocaust-enabling PM @albomp.bsky.social, his depraved foreign minister Penny Wong, and their complicity with Israeli and American atrocity. Free all of us from Zionist warmongers. Free Palestine.

The ABC has had TWO different “experts” from the pro-Israel, AIPAC funded Washington Institute think tank on TV in the past 45 minutes.
