US Senator Alex Padilla was wrestled to ground after raising questions during US Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem's press conference, in a dramatic escalation of tensions in California. www.ft.com/content/93f1...

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has lambasted the “horrific” US police shooting of an Australian journalist. "No ambiguity” that Lauren Tomasi - shot with a rubber bullet - was a journalist. Concerns raised with US Government... theklaxon.com.au/h5hd

PM Albanese says there's a "corrosive proposition" that "government" and "free media" are "incapable of meeting the demands of this moment". Then goes further: Gov't delivering its commitments is essential to Australians' faith in democracy. Hmm..... 🤔 theklaxon.com.au/tnqs

Scott Morrison is almost certainly one of the “Robodebt Six” referred to the NACC for criminal and civil action. In Australia we don’t pursue him: we rig the NACC, refuse to investigate…then award him with honours. “Decision” still nowhere… (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/government-r...

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨 Forensic auditors have been appointed to property developer Lion Property Group, with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of projects now in doubt. Hundreds of investors owed tens of millions. (For @apimagazine )… www.apimagazine.com.au/news/article...

Not parody.

🚨The 16-year-old charity of former Melbourne power couple Cate Sayers and Luke Sayers — ousted as Carlton president over a “dick pic” scandal — is on the verge of collapse. Cate quit the charity, leaving Luke as director. Auditors issue dire warning... theklaxon.com.au/ek2h

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨Liberal Party Senator Jacinta Price has today written to tens of thousands of people spruiking MAGA-style disinformation group "Advance". Price backs the "far-right" group & calls for money from public. Massive questions for Liberals, just one day after split... theklaxon.com.au/2dxw

No idea who this Sharri guy is, but he’s got some pretty whack views.

It's always hardest on the children...

Great for the Greens to have chosen Larissa Waters as leader. Senator Waters has repeatedly taken action in response to exposes by The Klaxon, demanding answers from the duopoly. Eg (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/stitch-up-go...

With AG Dreyfus being shown the door, it’s worth remembering the Albanese Government — since February — has been refusing to say if an external person will oversee NACC’s Robodebt “investigation”. “NACC” refused to investigate but now forced to…(ICYMI:) theklaxon.com.au/government-r...

Fossil fuels disinformation group "Advance" says Adam Bandt “could not survive” the “massive”, “year-long campaign” it had “unleashed” on the Greens leader. The Liberal Party-funded group says Bandt and other Greens are casualties of its “multi-million dollar attack”… theklaxon.com.au/rkl5

With ALP dumping Mark Dreyfus, its worth remembering he's responsible for the deeply broken NACC. As Attorney-General he used sham figures to ensure it operates almost entirely in secret, knee-capping it from Day One...(ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/naccered-how...

Interested to see where this fierce rejection of the attacks on the Welcome to Country ceremony leaves certain players. Not least Melbourne Storm and its “Advance” funding co-owner and director…(ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/storm-direct...

Great to talk with US indy giant Breaking Points about the federal election, Australia eschewing Trumpism — and the US-style dark money (fossil fuel) operatives infiltrating our politics. Fantastic to see The Klaxon on the international stage. (Link here 👉 theklaxon.com.au/klaxon-audio/)

If you find your values and beliefs are completely out of line with most Australians, then surely the answer is not sitting around and dreaming up fake new “values” — the “future of the party” — but simply going out and getting a job that doesn’t involve representing the public?

🚨Disinformation group "Advance" – funded by fossil fuels megamillionaires and the Liberal Party – says it's "destroyed the Greens". The "victory lap" coincides with fossil fuels giants repeating its talking points, calling on ALP to "step on the gas"... theklaxon.com.au/wxh4

One last final shout-out: Our week long fundraising campaign ends at midnight tonight. We have had some fantastic support to date. Please consider throwing us a few dollars so we can keep delivering the scoops…(I’ll shut up now, I promise!) theklaxon.presspatron.com

The Liberal Party ran a full MAGA campaign behind-the-scenes, quietly bankrolling hate group "Advance". Sunshine is always the best disinfectant. We like to think we helped inform the public. Please consider supporting our fundraiser, ending tonight. Thank you👇 theklaxon.presspatron.com

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stands loudly and proudly on reconciliation and Welcome to Country tonight. Multi-pronged racist attacks on the Indigenous ceremony by hate group "Advance" – and its funder the Liberal Party – blows up in faces. (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/liberal-part...

🚨The state of Australia's media landscape is diabolical. This is how democracies are eroded and hard fought freedoms lost. We're 100% free but we rely entirely on you to survive. Please consider supporting our "Our News Your Voice" fundraiser, here 👉 theklaxon.presspatron.com

Albanese delivers a cracker of a speech, top form and in full flight. And respectful. Full points to Peter Dutton also, on graciously and respectfully accepting defeat. Democracy for the win. Crazy MAGA nonsense less so. (And Jacinta Price? Well…)
