Imagine if Peter Dutton had shown one thousandth of the graciousness of his concession speech any time in the preceding 24 years of his political career - but fact is, he never displayed anything except small-minded awfulness.

Laura: “The Coalition resorted to anti-immigration sentiment, attempted to fuel irritation with welcomes to country…spoke about a woke school curriculum & raged about hate media. It prosecuted all these points with.. support of News Corp's newspapers &..Sky News. newsapp.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Holy fuck, I love Australia. I love this country. I love its shared values. I love its fairness, its courage, its kindness. We make mistakes as a people but we learn from them and our confidence and our adaptability runs red in my heart. #auspol

Australia joins Canada in rejecting Trumpist cruelty, our faux Trump - like Poilievre - lost his seat (to a young woman) - except we did it even more emphatically. Proud of my country.

One long term tragic consequence of this period of history will be the fact that "antisemitism" ceased to have any real meaning.

I am really tired of getting spam texts from the Porcine Prick Palmer…

Jesus Christ the ABC is going hard and in-depth on this plagiarised baklava recipe story. I would love to similar effort on, I dunno, the rise of fascism in the West and the normalisation of Nazis shit 🤷‍♂️

We are looking at the racism scale remaining in the Extreme zone for the rest of the week and quite likely sliding into Catastrophic by Saturday, unless Dutton loses his voice.

Sorry but the only possible explanation for this is stupidity

Australia, we're essentially Israel with an extra 150 years from the beginning of our genocide. We've erased more evidence and cultivated a more successful forgetting, but that's what power does with time. 'Israel wouldn't bomb a hospital' etc is simply history being re-written in the moment.

Unsurprising there's now a "debate" about welcomes to country, it's just another aspect of the strongly regressive cultural movement across the western world, away from generosity and towards meanness. That, in turn, reflects anxiety. Fearful people are mean, simple as that.

Lol at the trolls who think calling me ugly/denigrating my appearance will get to me. I went to a public school on the Gold Coast. You think YOU can hurt me? Please. Year Nine girls would eat you for breakfast then ask if you were up for brunch

The Thug will gut the ABC if he gets in. He hates being held to account.

So tediously predictable that Dutton falls back to the same ‘hate media’ criticisms against the Guardian and ABC he’s rolled out previously - because apparently any reporting that interrogates the bullshit he’s sprouting is ‘hate’ and not, you know - the actual role of the media

Keep conservatives away from Dolly Parton at all costs

"Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement."

🚨25 women and have already been killed in 2025. 103 women and 16 children were killed in 2024. Men’s violence against women is domestic terrorism. Women and children‘s safety needs to take centre stage in this election yet neither major party has announced any additional measures.

There's no place in Australian electoral campaigns for violence and aggression. In many instances the language used against female candidates is gendered and misogynistic. The video circulating this week of a man violently destroying political signage in Kooyong is deeply concerning.

Aaaah! The old ‘only joking’ defence for gobsmacking misogyny. Violence against women is not a joke. Ever. www.smh.com.au/politics/vic...

Nice of him to share his rego and face on video committing offence.

Lots of talk about preferencing. Follow the simple rule: number every box and make sure you put all the racists last (there are a lot of them so it could take a while, but democracy takes effort).

Straight up eugenics from the brainless nepo baby now in charge of the US health system.

Yay! This one s exactly what should happen. Leave MAGA America to stew in its own stupidity. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Why don’t TERFs care about women being hurt and murdered by men every single day of our lives? “We can care about two things at once” okay but you never do. Obsessing over and working to take away trans rights under the guise of caring about women, but don’t actually care about real violence. Scum

Just to reassure people, Peter Dutton has as much chance of leading the Liberal coalition to victory as I have of becoming the Pope He's spent the past 3 years grabbing headlines without putting in the work on substance & policies and now it's coming home to bite him A guaranteed failure of a man

Given how much more fucked up the world is about to get, the question isn't are you better off than you were three years ago - it's what do you think the next three years are going to be like and who do you want making the decisions? And that's not just about a PM, but the whole parliament.

Holy Shit - we are in 2025 and the Liberal leader STILL can't say the worsening weather we are seeing is because of climate change. "I am not a scientist" Fuck me.

Group of electricity network wants a waiver to let them run a trial of 100 kerbside EV chargers, and blames the rules and private companies for not delivering for consumers

Recklessness has always been Spud's hallmark when it comes to foreign affairs, supporting the theory that he's not very bright and not very attentive.

first draft of the liberal party’s obituary? www.theaustralian.com.au/commentary/h...

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

meanwhile on struggle street

Prediction: Jacinta will be spending the rest of the campaign back in the locked cupboard where they usually keep her

sad that jacinta price thinks australia isn’t a great country.

I know everyone is focused on the 5% deposit announcement from Labor - but the announcement to build 100,000 homes for first home buyers should the standard of what governments do - governments should be in the business of building housing

No words for this
