Kaya. Billionaires are a symptom of an unhealthy society. I'm a bit sweary at times. Always was always will be. Living on Whadjuk Noongar land.

"We are in the midst of a global fight between Western liberal democracy and authoritarian government, and in this fight, the United States has just switched sides and signed up with the authoritarian camp." - Francis Fukuyama www.persuasion.community/p/the-ultima...

“Straight out by of the horses mouth, or in this case, Gov’ Bullock’s, facing a parliamentary inquiry,. ADMITTING the cash rate SHOULD’VE BEEN RAISED EARLIER! that many of us have said for the past 2+ years. If the right wing arse kisser, Phill Lowe, had acted earlier, rates would have been lower!

Blown away yet again by the quality of the journalism and commentary produced by independent news media - which I've gathered in one handy spot for you in TrueNorth. The difference between MSM & indie media is SO clear! Sign up here #auspol > truenorthnews.substack.com

Bridget McKenzie is an awful politician. Always so grubby.

Blame game. My @smh @theage cartoon.

DOGE is an extreme example of what you get when you let consultants into areas of public service they don’t want to understand, but just have predetermined outcome The last we need is Dutton letting loose more consultants on our public service

Northern Territory government are going to amend the Anti-discrimination Act to “allow religious schools to priotise same-faith teachers” Yeah they’re definitely only going to change that and nothing else 🙄

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

Sussan Ley asked why Peter Dutton Lied & “wrongly” claimed people from Gaza are being given citizenship? Ley insists it’s the “Nine Papers” who “got it wrong” until Jason Clare ends the clown show & tells Peter Dutton “Check your facts before opening your gob!”🔥🤣#auspol youtu.be/O9XVSr43Fhs?...

Yep. He doesn't want to be a President he wanted to stay out of jail and act like a King who is there for ceremonial purposes.

American allies? Who are they? Russia, Saudi Arabia and Israel? America is a rogue state. The world is a much more dangerous place since this hateful Republican party was elected. Shame on each and every one of them.

The United States’ loss will be some other nation’s gain—a lesson that we used to teach the rest of the world, but no longer.

I’d actually forgotten this. Suspect others may have too. Can as many people as possible please share this so we never forget?

One comment does not make up for decades #auspol

You’ll be worse of under Dutton

The National Press Club needs to correct an error on their website claiming “every” Opp leader has addressed the NPC. It should instead read “Every Australian Prime Minster & Opposition Leader (except for Peter Dutton) has addressed the National Press Club during the past forty years”

There are 3 types of people since Oct 7th. Those who condemn only the killing of Israeli kids. Those who condemn only the killing of Palestinian kids. And those of us who condemn the killing of both. Don’t be in the first 2 groups - the 1st one dominates our politics & media.

Julian Hill calls out “The Australian newspaper working hand in glove with the Opposition” to try hold Islamic communities to an “impossible standard” Lashes Sharma’s “fictitious” claim on Islamophobia & Dutton who ”weaves” Muslims & Terrorists “all into the same sentence”💥 youtu.be/Uv58G1KouAE?...

Distracted. My @smh @theage cartoon.

It's never been about babies.

I would hate to be in Australian foreign affairs now. Our ally for the last 80 years has gone rogue. Shoehorned into a farce with little wriggle room by the last government. It's a complicated situation. An election on the horizon, an ill informed electorate? How do you navigate that?

He deserves each and every piece of irrelevance he has bought upon himself. He was the architect of this and his picture has been erased.

The thing with JD Vance (not his real name) he's trying to appeal to voters who vote on feels. He, with his fake name, fake personality, bubbles up distrust from people's guts. Yeah, they get the feels alright.

I think Labor needs to hammer home how the L/NP couldn't land an energy policy for near on a decade and Labor landed one in 6 months. Nobody I know, including Liberal voters believe it's going to happen. The cost of going nowhere is immense.

Today, Kennett has a column in the Herald Sun calling Jacinta Allen's "rail projects a waste of taxpayer money" except, I remember something from my early (teenage) days as a cadet. I then check my own archives. Yep, what Dan Andrews started building was originally proposed by ... Kennett. Whoops.

This week’s interest rate cut is the rate relief that Australians need and deserve. We recognise people are still under pressure, that hasn't gone away overnight, but the rate cut will help. #auspol #ausecon

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

This whole USA thing is a bit of a pickle.

The Reserve Bank punished the Labor government as long as it could, today they ran out of rationalisations. We can criticise this government for many things, but they’ve certainly been a steady hand on the economic tiller, with no help from the RBA and no recognition from our media. #AusPol

Look at this adorable baby orange-bellied parrot and its fluffy head 🪶🥰

For anyone pretending Labor's first term has been a do-nothing government here's the proof you're wrong and you're probably far too reliant on Murodch and other RW media johnmenadue.com/the-governme...

1. He's right. It's asymmetric and has huge huge reach. 2. He's admitting Fox's role in the propaganda.

Usman Khawaja has asked "where is the justice?" after two Muslim women were attacked at a Melbourne shopping centre, in what's being treated as "prejudice-motivated" "Rather than have an exclusive anti-Semitic summit, how about we stop picking sides and include Islamophobia"

A Jewish man in Miami shot two Jewish Israeli tourists, thinking they were Palestinians. The Israelis spoke of antisemitism & said “death to Arabs”. There were *no* Palestinians or Arabs involved. A Zionist fantasy, a fever dream, full of hallucinated monsters. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
