This decision restores my hope in Australia. I want to see a government that takes real steps to legislate a ban on accepting money and consulting from powerful donors and lobbyists. Be it a jewish group, a mining magnate or an IT billionaire. #auspolq

Why, oh why, is our Prime Minister halfway up both the US and Trump’s backside? AUKUS is a dead-end deal — he’d be better off focusing on building real partnerships with the EU. At least the French would’ve delivered a submarine by now. #auspol

What exactly is she trying to defend on her reputation? She wasn’t the one who raped BH—at this point, she’s defending the sofa the assault happened on. Like a bloodhound, she just can’t let go once she’s locked onto something. #BrittanyHiggins #LindaReynolds #auspol #appalling

We need to talk more openly about the influence of foreign-aligned lobbying groups in Australian politics — including those promoting uncritical support for Israel. Our Australian values, sovereignty, and commitment to human rights must come first. #auspol #Gaza #HumanRights

One thing’s for sure: Bayside has a short memory. Hard to believe they’ve welcomed back the same useless photo-op guy. A real shame for Goldstein — and honestly, it says a lot about the mindset over there. Bayside going red… as the local Texas. #auspol #wanker #timwilson #zoedaniel

Tim “Wanker” Wilson! I am not surprised! What a f$&@ing looser. #auspol

I taught that the Victorian Bayside’s mental capacity is bigger than that. #auspol #wanker

If you know you know! Straya! 🇦🇺🍀

Well done Australia! We’ve done it again. Our hearts and minds are in the right place, saying NO to a Trump - style BS future! 👍🏻🍀🥂

Signs of desperation @theage

Nice! More country should follow this example.

The man who was made the main booboo has a point!! #uspol #auspol

I notice we all run out of words to describe what happens in current US politics. But it is along the line of 1930’ Germany. Finding individualists, free spirits, creatives and making them an enemy - all the while for political high scores. Complete madness. #uspol #furries

Once again, we see bipartisan power elites with deep influence and foreign priorities dismantling what’s left of Australia’s multicultural fabric. Where’s the support for our diverse communities that make up real Australia? This is eroding our national identity. #auspol #artsfunding

He is a manipulative lying coward, a Russian asset at least. A bad business man of nightmare deals that bullies parties into uncertainty. And he was always that. The reason why he is not an already failed weasel is due to the also failed legal system of the US. Take him out already! #uspol #trump

When a 17 year old is the absolute hero of the day! Well done 17y old!! #auspol #voting

get chomped!

In the name of ppl loosing their homes to bushfire, coral bleaching and endless floods; frankly I am appalled. A Coalition MP openly suggesting we let cities burn just to score political points against renewables? This is not leadership—it’s sabotage. Our future deserves better. #auspol #climate.

The most important part of mother & baby bonding happens at the first fragile weeks of life. Imagine the pain for all involved. Monash as a pull name - so big, that I know not one but multiple couples travelling to EU- Prague for IVF due to local flaws. Why?! #auspol

Ben-Gurion is rolling in his grave. I don’t think this was his intention. Look under 1948 exodus and beyond in this article. Then you will understand. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_B...

World politics used to be about people and ideas. I hate that now it’s just oligarch porn—dynasties, scandals, private jets. ‘Days of Our Lives’ with nukes. Wars with scattered body parts live - that makes Hollywood jealous. Delivered by the minute on our smart gadgets. We should take back our life!

Let’s be real: we all suspect the same powerful group is behind the silencing—so effective it’s protected by NDAs and off-limits even for the AFP. Zionist money moves quietly, decisively. If it were Muslims, the story would be everywhere by now. Just facts. #auspol

Can you please get this bold guy out of the picture Australia?! The country was on track - thank you, before coalition buffoon politics became fashionable. He will never get back public and flexible workers now. #auspol #makeitstop

Attention White House: Thou shalt not joke about how you sent an innocent father of 3 to a gulag while his autistic son smells his shirts to remember him.

I wonder which minority group lobbied successfully to curb free speach. I bet not Aboriginal Australia. And by the way, this is not the solution! #auspol

“We need Australia to stand up and work with Japan, work with Korea, and even work with China.” I don’t get it! Why not consider Europe? A whole big continent is patiently waiting to do great business with AU! And it is really the greatest time to do it. To take the EU as an ally.

Along with THAT title we should also appoint her to be the ambassador of Australia’s healthy lifestyle. If we screw up the future of the country we should do it fully. #auspol #entitled #selfrighteous #nazi #fascists did I leave something out?! Oh yes; #Allthatenergybeingadickhead

We might as well all bend over willingly to the US. Disappointing and unnecessary boot licking from a hard working nation which could well be independent. #growsomeballs #auspol

No shit Sherlock! I worked at the ATO after Covid at one point and let me NOT tell you of the highly sophisticated spyware the ATO uses to get info on all Australian citizens. You would not believe me what I have seen. But than again, I don’t want to end up like poor Richard Boyle. #auspol #spyware

holy shit. in a world of Schumers be a McGee.

Hope its clear to all what they want with this; kill unions once and for all and end worker’s protection. So their rich donors can wreck havoc. A cheap trick covering with Bob Hawke when he was all for the working class. Video on US example-might be a false flag operation by the coalition. #auspol

At this point I think the child is there to “soften” the tone and this in my view is child abuse. Somehow I have the uncanny feeling of comparing this baby with the little red coat girl from Schindler’s list. We see him but we don’t quite get it why - until the end. #uspol

I can ask this from Australia too, where you can loose state elections just by mentioning to give free food to every school children. #auspol

Yep, how we all feel! Loads of great EVs now available other than Tesla.

The USA was never a true democracy. The lack of checks and balances in everything the orange devil does or declares. The past decade of him getting away with federal crimes - and that is when Dems governed! Him getting away with all now. Not just idiocracy but true authoritarianism. #uspol

5 charges against ATO whistleblower Richard Boyle dropped, but the prosecution continues. Mark Dreyfus could end this persecution today. But he won't. His persistence shows his claimed commitment to whistleblowers to be an utter sham. #auspol

About fear! Such a very important and valid article all around. Not just in the US but in Australian politics as well. Speak up! Don’t be a coward! Now is the time! #auspol #uspol

When you think of avoiding US/Russian products - think of Crypto as well. Why? - still nobody knows who invented, still holds its value due to the “bubble” around it and used and favoured by Trump and the millionaire lunatics and crime around him for money laundering. #BoycottCrypto #uspol #auspol
