True Story.

Linda Reynolds says due to it being her last Estimates, wants Katy Gallagher to apologise for harm caused to her by asking questions yrs ago on the alleged rape of Brittany Higgins, but storms off in embarrassment when her plan turns south🔥 Gallagher “My conscious is clear” youtu.be/A2KXi5KJAbA?...

In which the ABC learns the cost of buckling to the bullies of the Zionist lobby…

THis is troubling. Trove is gold, and the still glowing embers of the national campfire. Easy access to all, essential.

If you buy or still drive a Tesla car, everyone will know what you think.

Today’s news—Trump White House taking control of which journalists can cover the leader, a big step toward a Kremlin like press pool of handpicked media.

What is the ABC actually defending here? Clearly, not its ‘editorial integrity’. The Lattouf case has revealed it as an internally crippled, nobbled, and hopelessly politicised organisation of vacuous careerists who are clueless about its mission.

And here is the news from the ABC : Ita accuses ABC managing director David Anderson of perjury. Suggests it’s a criminal matter.

For Peter Dutton, the public service is a 'magic pudding' to be cynically raided at election time, rather than an essential support system that millions of Australian veterans, pensioners, families and students rely on every day. #election2025 #auspol

This is so good: a refreshing change from the mouthy bullies and cancellers of the Zionist/Likud lobby.

Well done. All my support

Look at the make up on the Oaf. He looks like he’s been deep fried in batter.

If you’ve ever being trolled on the internet, read this: ‘Online harassment can be erased almost completely by using two powerful weapons: perception and attention.’ www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The parable of the loaves and fishes, as interpreted by Musk & the DOGE bros.

Whack. Bernard Keane doesn't miss while MSM either promotes Dutton's MAGAfication or tiptoes around it. www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/24/p...

Absolutely. Much of it lead by NewsCorpse, of course.

And made in China, I’m sure! The upside-down flag is a nice touch.

This. Is. Not. News. Why the fuck does the ABC pretend it is ?

We have all seen, since the Hamas incursion, that Zionists in Australia place their loyalty to Israel and not here. They have influenced our government, compromising social cohesion thru their constant lies & false flag attacks. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I’m with Wendy. The hatred of Meaghan Markle is sexist. It is no doubt also racist. What precisely has she done to be so vilified? Got married to a bloke from a famously dysfunctional family, fell out with them & moved away. All her sins are common ones. www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/li...

By teaching the public to disdain the ABC as “socialist” or “leftist” or “woke”, the Australian Right has aimed to undermine any reporting that holds them to account. #auspol

Who remembers this gem?

God, even Crikey is reporting that Dutton has "taken the wind out of Albanese's sails" in regard to the Medicare announcement, just because Dutton has said he will match the funding dollar for dollar. The ABC did the same thing yesterday. The framing is pathetic.

Backlash against western govt’s being witnessed today is a backlash against 4 decades of neoliberalism that has decimated working class, hollowed out middle class & concentrated wealth in hands of the One Percent. Yet so-called liberal & progressive politicians remain wedded to this ideology #auspol

Anybody who believes Dutton will match Albanese's Medicare promise "dollar for dollar" - I've got a bridge to sell - Medicare is a complete anathema for the LNP - it's so far out of their increasingly Trumpian ideology it's almost at the ISS.

If you believe this promise, chances are you're a member of the press gallery

Beautifully written & timely. “Educational initiatives that emphasise critical thinking, empathy, and civic responsibility can empower individuals to confront injustices rather than succumb to passivity.” Resonates deeply with me #Auspol

Happening now: Israeli tanks have entered the northern West Bank after 40,000 Palestinians were expelled from three refugee camps in the Jenin & Tulkarm areas. There's a real and present danger that these camps will be erased. This genocide must be stopped. By us all. Now!

‘DSS provided legal correspondence to the Catholic Church that was then leaked to Murdoch press & used in an attempt to silence victims’ Catholic Church accused survivors of engaging in a “criminal offence” for speaking out. 🤨 The irony is appalling. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

Wow! Just caught up with the #SundayShot from this morning. It is so incredibly refreshing to watch something in the Australian political landscape that is intelligent, factual and respectful. Catch it if you can, well worth it. #auspol youtu.be/uRxY9Sl2f5A?...

Lest we forget!

Trump has replaced the head of the military, FBI, stacked SCOTUS and stated “He who saves his country does not violate any law”. He’s sided with autocrats above allies and is purging the public service of non-sycophants. AUKUS? Still beyond questioning? What would it take?

Trump and Musk, between them, have 18 children (that we know about) with 7 women. Family values, GOP-style.

Medicare is not safe in Peter Dutton’s hands. He can’t find the $600b he needs to build nuclear reactors without coming after Medicare again, just like he did when he was health minister. #auspol #ausecon #insiders

Huge news! #Labor #auspol #medicare

"Piece Plan"

The real reason for tariffs

🚨Australia's biggest outdoor advertising company has been left reeling after being caught publishing anti-climate lies for Liberal Party-funded disinformation group "Advance". It was "never our intention to mislead or deceive", it says after apparent cover-up theklaxon.com.au/zv85

What do electoral (donation) reforms mean for you this election? Major parties are afraid of community independents giving you a direct say. They want to entrench their rule, so you won't have that say. Having & keeping that say starts with how you vote. More here: tinyurl.com/22csxntj #Democracy

With brutal greed and arrogance, Trump is planning the rape of Ukraine. Nothing less.

Very similar playbook applied to many issues. Just the details that change #auspol

Not long after I submitted my application to the national redress scheme I received a phone call from the local police where the abuse occurred. The Catholic church had reported my application to police after the government provided my application to the church.
