NEW: Elon Musk’s attack on USAID has cut HIV/AIDS workers off from medicine and money. The Trump Administration claims it is allowing “lifesaving” foreign aid to continue, but in reality, DOGE is preventing vital work on HIV and AIDS from saving lives. Read our scoop here:

Trump has no idea whatsoever what Musk is actually doing even though he also signed the executive order giving DOGE “full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, and IT systems."

Dutton’s bum-fluff pug dog, James Paterson, appears keen to dissociate the Dutton/Liberal brand from Neo-Nazis & extremism.. He’ll hve to work hard. Dutton has been deliberately enabling & legitimising the hatred & racism of these puerile pillocks for some time. www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/03/c...

Today we met Kathryn. Kathryn and her family made energy saving renovations to their Canberra home. This is not only saving them money, it’s also lowering their carbon footprint. It’s clear communities are looking to electrify, but need a bit of extra backing in getting projects off the ground.

If you're one of the 900,000 young people voting for the first time this election, know that Peter Dutton and the Coalition have never prioritised climate change and oppose Labor's 2030 CO2 reduction targets.

Well..considering this Friendly Jordies footage of the ex-Governor of the Reserve Bank, Philip Lowe, dancing with Gina Rinehart & Pauline Hanson at the recent mining conference.. I would imagine that Lowe’s position at the Reserve Bank for all of those years was well and truly compromised.

The media in QLD hve switched from blaming Labor for “youth crime” - to blaming the justice system for not handing down harsher sentences now that the LNP are in govt. The media continue to provide an LNP protection racket & the numpties who listen to this shyte suck it up.

The left should remember when navigating political contest with the right that if right wing had solid arguments for their policies and agendas - economic, cultural, social, environmental - they wouldn’t have to create so much bullshit, lie, manipulate, create fear campaigns etc. CALL THEM ON IT!

Even without the Housing Crisis, why would anyone choose a Real Estate Agent to represent their community? I'd be surprised if renters & buyers have high regard for REA. And, I'd also expect many vendors would think REA charge too much for what they do.

There is no longer any element of the Coalition that seems interested in truth, good governance or build Australians UP Instead it’s become a place where grievances, fear, hatred, greed & “what’s in it for me? Stuff everybody else” has found a home From Dutton to Newbury it is a disgrace #auspol

Look, we screwed around for 9 long years when we were in power. I can’t remember one thing we implemented that helped people (only remember favours for Geen’s). We told people we’d hunt them down & make them pay. We stripped Bulk billing. I remember prayer room & Barnaby’s water report on🍺coaster.

Four years ago right now. This was our evacuation team that got us out of the Capitol. When they knocked on our hiding place door, they had a code word & we had a response word so we knew they were actual USCP. You can see them holding back rioters.

Figures are out & crime in QLD is up since “adult time” has been introduced by the QLD LNP. Crisafulli said he would sack ministers who didn’t perform. Will he now sack Police Minister, Dan Purdie? Doubtful. The LNP & media will either hide the data or blame previous Labor govt for the failure.
