FFS, Dutton now saying we should be worried about people "saving for an investment property"

For Gina’s pet politician.

Dutton: "Labor's always wanted to end negative gearing, which would be a disaster for people who are saving for a rental property" Holy shit. #leadersdebate

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

Our Medicare Urgent Care Clinics are helping patients get the care they need, when they need it, all for free. It’s why we're opening another 50, right across the country.

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

BREAKING NYT: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat.

Omg

An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there. Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains. Bring him home!

The choice at this election is between stability and responsibility from Labor in an uncertain world or cuts and chaos under Peter Dutton and the Coalition. #auspol #ausecon @australianlabor.bsky.social

"Cut off nose to spite face" File: If the US is going to claim it loses control over people when it sends them to a foreign prison as an appendage of the US penal system, that Trump Admin strategy is dead because no US court is going to permit relinquishing jurisdiction in these circumstances.

RIP Kurt Vonnegut. Gone 18 yrs. Dang.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Here’s Peter Dutton’s pick for Assistant Treasurer

#TrumpTariffs #TrumpMarketCrash

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

Keeping track of the Liberal Party’s implosion is a full-time job. Now there’s a very real chance their former leader gets bankrupted by a current party room member. This is not what a government-in-waiting looks like.

Hilarious watching the LNP desperately clinging to the dubious modelling of a single economic consultancy on nuclear against everybody else who's examined it.

They’re tariffing the Australian Penguins! #auspol #Australia #Politics

Asked and answered.

Today this is happening in our country, right now

Confirmed cases of measles in the US. 2020: 13 2021: 49 2022: 121 2023: 59 2024: 285 Total cases: 527 (5-years) 2025: (first 90 days) 628 confirmed cases of measles, and 3 deaths.

Where is our humanity?

Niki Savva: “Three leaders are fighting out this campaign and only one of them is definitely not Trump. That would be our Prime Minister Albanese.” #Insiders #AusVotes25 #AusPol

Dutton, in front of nodding bobble heads, said this morning he'd go harder on AUKUS and that Albanese missed opportunities for deeper bonds with the US. He said he'd work to remove the 10% tariff. He didn't promise to get The Beatles back together but he might as well have. He thinks you're dumb.

"We don't like your tuxedo. So very disrespectful to us. Ten percent tariff for you."

No lies told here.

Every single one #NotADragQueen. Are you seeing a pattern here?

remember when Dutton as out on the campaign trail for john howard or Tony abbott or scoota Morrison , no ? neither do i . now do you realise why they hid him? he's stupid #auspol

Ignore their spin. This is what the Coalition’s $600b nuclear plan means. It’s what their own modelling documents reveal. More coal in the system while we wait for expensive nuclear.
