Ran to Target for laundry detergent, saw about a dozen women in their 60s or thereabouts buying poster board and markers. I would have assumed they were teachers getting supplies until I remembered school's out and then it clicked.

"Defence Min. Richard Marles has endorsed a blistering address by Hegseth, warning China that t U.S stands ready to “fight and win decisively” if Beijing seeks military conflict over Taiwan." Marles is a warmonger. He is a blight on the ALP. I loathe him. #auspol www.smh.com.au/world/asia/p...

“There’s no reason to sugar coat it. The threat China poses is real, and it could be imminent,” Hegseth said in Singapore, This bloke needs to F-off back to Fox News, and leave Asian foreign policy to the grown ups who live here. #auspol www.smh.com.au/world/asia/u...

Congratulations Elon. 300,000 deaths in 3 months. You are the epitome of evil. And you were a U.S govt. designate. Can we cancel #AUKUS yet? #auspol

Spot on. The Marles / Hegseth article was particularly galling. Hegseth's only experience is as a weekend host of Fox News....and he's giving us orders? The toxicity with which the Australian electorate showed towards anything MAGA - makes this move unbelievable. #auspol

Pt 1 - The U.S is becoming an irrelevance Pt 2 - Hegseth's only quals is as an ex-Fox News Host Pt 3 - The optics of Aus taking orders frm the U.S after our election are horrible for #Labor Pt 4 - Marles is an incompetent U.S cuck Pt 5 - #AUKUS should be shot #auspol www.smh.com.au/world/asia/w...

Anything Albo offers Trump, including on access to critical minerals, should be made on its own merits and b/c its in Australia’s national interest, not as a bargaining chip to secure an exemption to the now-suspended 10 per cent tariff. #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Trump being called a chicken and knowing that will stick means today is the worst day of his life. Right Taco?

Reason number #19,538 to shut down #AUKUS. Pillar 3! Are they fucking kidding. We'll be lucky to get a fridge magnet from the money we've put in so far. #auspol

This is absolutely outrageous. If Albo is going to do one thing with his clear majority - fix this. #auspol

They've just called Ryan for Elizabeth Watson-Brown. The most conservative of the 3 Brisbane green seats, but the only one to survive. Largely down to the support for the LNP candidate - so second place winner would take the prize. Preferential Voting is an interesting beast sometimes. #auspol

And in more news that Labor will win in a landslide in 2028 Jacinta defects to run as "Well Done Angus'" deputy. (BTW - What a fucking turncoat.) #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

I love this woman. She's the gift who keeps on giving. "Mining magnate Gina Rinehart is urging politicians to shift to the right and adopt President Trump’s policies as she blames voters and the “left media” for the Coalition’s disastrous election result." www.smh.com.au/politics/fed... #auspol

Some #ausvotes thoughts 1. The next Liberal PM will not be in the next Parliament 2. The age of Boomers ruling #auspol is officially over 3. The coalition as it currently exists is no longer fit for purpose 4. Rupert Murdoch's influence on Australian politics is on life support, if not dead

A lot of Int. news coverage on Labor's win as another example of an Anti-Trump swing globally. The comparison with Canada is obvious. I'd suggest that Labor's victory was more impressive as it was made in the face of unrelenting Murdoch RW media. Something Canada doesn't contend with. #auspol

We may think we're a small group. We may think we're the antagonists But #auspol Bluesky has held the line. We've posted, discussed, shared and vented. I'm so proud to contribute with so many like-minded friends here. We make a difference. We contributed to what we saw here tonight.

Betting markets have halved in favour of the ALP over the last couple of hours. Also noticing that ABC (including Speers) is talking about the LNP Campaign in the past tense. Suggest there are some pretty horrible exit polls for the LNP coming out. #auspol. #Ausvotes #ausvotes2025

It will be a sad day tomorrow. No longer will I be reminded of my importance in this world through continuous racist and misogynistic msgs from my most frequent and beloved contact - Trumpet of Patriots. :( Fuck you Fat Guts. Hope you slink away, never to be heard of again. #auspol. #ausvotes25

Peter Dutton won't lift a finger for families escaping bombs, hunger and displacement. But he says he’d welcome a man accused of war crimes with open arms, even if it means defying international law. See bit.ly/GetUpAuthorisation for more info

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Died? Are you fucking kidding me? How about she committed suicide due to innumerable factors connected to the sexual abuse she received as a 17yo from Prince Andrew - and who knows what else at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and Co. #auspol

This is what Australian politics has become. An occupation for the otherwise unemployable. (And its just not ONA that suffers from this affliction - take your pick). #auspol #ausvotes25

“It was two billionaires, middle-aged men thinking it was WWE in the West Wing,” one said. “They were not physical in the Oval - but then they carried it down the hall, and that’s when they did it again,” the witness said. Our #AUKUS partners. #auspol #ausvotes25 www.afr.com/world/north-...
