Law and Order Party Ends Law and Order

After orchestrating their own acts of genocide under a leader who eerily mirrors the one now committing genocide against them decades ago, they claim the perpetual right to remain above criticism for similar actions. WTAH - meaning what the actual hell? #auspol #genocide #jewish #israel

Some tragic numbers that never fail to shock me—in one of the world’s richest democracies, people are still struggling to find a place to live. Where is the so-called “fair go”? #auspol #homelessness

With the name of “Buttrose” why is anyone around Australian media? #ABC #AntoinetteLattouf #auspol

Shock and awe - to my US followers: Trump=Orban and Orban = Trump. Watch this new report uncovering how these oligarchs manipulate the system and get rich and powerful walking on the backs of ordinary people. The real Dynasty. Get a popcorn! #uspolitics #hunpolitics

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees that we have to take a stand against corrupt millionaires and billionaires who have taken control of our country, and take it back before it's too late. DO NOT BACK DOWN. DO NOT COMPLY.

Hey Aussies! I have a theory about how the far-right and Dutton’s law-and-order fanatics have taken over and manipulated social media discourse. Have you noticed a rise in crime-watching groups in your local feeds? Coincidence or calculated? #auspol

Watching Trump’s antics is like witnessing a mentally unwell grandpa fumble with nuclear codes. The world’s leaders need a new playbook for dealing with a delusional ex-reality star running the ‘free world.’ Let’s hope they approach with patience—and a firm grip on reality. #uspolitics #farout

I don’t know if American citizens realize that this election may be the last for a very long time. A complete dictatorship is taking shape, with checks and balances being dismantled every day. #usa #dictatorship #Trump

Meanwhile, on the Mornington Peninsula, a beach box is tipped to sell for over $1M—yes, for a glorified shed by the sea. Meanwhile, families are sleeping in parks, and Melbourne’s housing market remains a cruel joke. But sure, let’s keep pretending this is normal. #auspol #housingcrisis

This is just unbelievable! Australia as a progressive democracy don’t give a flying fog about women, mental health and DV related crimes. How could this be fixed at all from here?

I can help you save money with two easy tips: 1) Don't buy that 2) If you must buy that, there's probably a cheaper version of it that's just as good

It is so bad, that us two professionals with two kids, earning 10-12K/Months are moving out of Melbourne after 13 years. It is a shame what happens in this country. #auspol #costofliving

A personal note: These two have just been picked up by a pet travel company to cross the ocean from Melbourne to Paris, then on to Hungary. Bindi, my Australian bulldog, has been my emotional support companion for the past four years. I’m in tears now, fearing the unknown but hoping for the best. ❤️‍🩹❤️

Free speech is increasingly non-existent. Today is Turkey, tomorrow your country.

It’s not just Hungary—developed democracies like Australia face the same issue. While trials and donations may pay slightly more, the consequences remain the same. Many young people and students see this as a way to earn extra income. Companies exploit the needy. Where is ethical advertising?

The real-life Hunger Games are already here. In our world, the deprived often pay with their own bodies just to survive. Many young, healthy but poor people turn to dangerous options like paid medical trials or selling their blood and plasma to make ends meet. Huge business, not for them! #Hungary

🧵1, Food for taught: A couple of years ago, there was a year 5 black skinned sweet little girl in my son’s school, who upon finishing the year the next week committed suicide by jumping in front of a Melbourne train. Eastern suburbs, government primary school, couple of hundred meters from …..

How’s that?! Putin’s hackers gained full access to Hungary’s foreign ministry networks, the Orbán government has been unable to stop them for years. I think the use of exclamation mark around “unable” is viable. #hupol #rupol

This! But then again, why would “copy” something that is working?! That is less controversial. Because than they can’t use it for political spinning . God forbid kids benefit. #auspol
