Dutton is a true bully with a glass jaw #auspol

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Portfolio. My @smh @theage cartoon.

"Research by scientists from the RSPB and University of Cambridge... ...has found that UK solar farms managed for nature could benefit birds, including threatened species like Corn Buntings, Greenfinches, Yellowhammers, and Linnets." 💚

Anyway, here's a cartoon I did earlier for @theshot.net.au

My latest article for The Shot. Please join me as we mercilessly mock Queen Gina, patron saint of global warming, and her merry gang of sycophants at something called National Mining Day . . . or as Gina would say, National Mahning Day. #drillbabydrill theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Don’t for a second think they won’t do the same to us. The only thing stopping them is us - and our positive and constructive engagement in our democracy #auspol

I don’t give a fuck about what Peter Dutton thinks about anything. Anything. #Auspol. 😊🤞🦋

BREAKING: The Rafah border crossing has opened for the first time in nearly nine months to allow sick and wounded Palestinian patients in Gaza to travel to Egypt for medical treatment aje.io/fvp5d6

George Pell- championed by conservatives - including Abbott & Howard & glorified by Dutton as an “important intellectual figure” who was the victim of “a modern-day political persecution” 🙄 ..is an “alleged” paedophile & a definitive full-on miscreant. What abt HIS victims, Dutton? Do u fkn care?

Oh. The LA Times is editing out negative parts of an article about RFK Jr. that say he's unfit for Secretary of Health and Human Services. If you haven't canceled your subscription already, you should.

🤣🤣🤣

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

The Department of Justice has just DELETED its four-year-old webpage on the US Capitol riot investigations.

This is going to become the norm.

Eggs up 37%. You can thank Bird flu in the streets and Bird brain in the White House. www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Watch out ladies, the DEI culture war is heading for our shores

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

Word of the day is ‘catch-fart’ (17th century: an obsequious individual who will always follow the political wind.

Labor talk a big game on protecting Nature but consistently end up bowing to vested interests. From supporting native forest logging that costs taxpayers $$ to backing salmon farming that is sending the Maugean skate to extinction. It's a gutless approach. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The formatting says it all.

I love how Hillary Clinton couldn’t contain laughing at absolute stupidity.

Finally! We now know the backstory to this classic "Planet of the Apes" ending.

Many thanks to @lassiewelsh.bsky.social for this print copy of Richard Flanagan's excoriating analysis of prime minister Anthony Albanese and the Labor party which was published in the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday. #auspol

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

There is something so sweet about the human capacity for enthusiasm. For a few days everyone in LA has been glued to Watch Duty and getting in the weeds of how water drops work. Now there are people out here who honestly have a favorite water plane that they are following closely and rooting for.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

An important statement by my friend @lyshrose.bsky.social Please read in full.

There’s nothing more terrifying than a leader promising to erase the freedoms of a marginalized group with the stroke of a pen.

So we abandon people up in a place they can never leave then deny them enough money to survive. Another disgusting, gutless Labor attack on refugees and asylum seekers in an effort to try to look tough. Shame on this craven government. This will kill people. Despicable.

Wow, the details are disgusting. The childcarer’s whistleblowing led to the prosecution of Australia’s worst paedophile, yet she was sacked by Uniting Church and charged by QLD police for unauthorised “hacking” as she assembled evidence against the paedophile. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The RBA continues to believe we need an extra 85,000 unemployed because it believes we need an unemployment rate of 4.5% in order to stop inflation from accelerating... even though it is currently... err decelerating

You can smell the gravitas - Taylor, Littleproud, O'Brien and Dutton. If we could just harness the raw mental energy on this stage we could probably wilt a spinach leaf. What a shitshow of mediocrity and low expectations our politics have become.

My rage goes back and forth from "What the fuck is wrong with Americans?" to "Fuck them all - they'll get president and the country they deserve." The fact is I will probably be fine no matter what. But I wanted OTHER PEOPLE to be fine.

It is beyond me that we continue to vote for people who put these policies in place. It really is up to us! #auspol

Divide or unite? My @smh @theage cartoon.

Politicians who condemned the recent arson attack on a Jewish synagogue but choose not to condemn this latest arson attack on an Islamic school bus may as well just openly admit that they are racist to the core.
