“Trump made a similar false claim about Trudeau in May, incorrectly saying of Russia’s removal from the Group of 8: “I thought it was a very bad decision. It was headed by Trudeau, by the way, and Obama. They were the ones that really fought hard to get Russia out.” www.cnn.com/2025/06/16/p...

OK, I guess it is news that Turnbull is [again] criticizing #AUKUS. But bigger news is the Albanese govt's continued failure to review the stupid, dangerous 'deal' they inherited from #ScottyFromMarketing. The US review is the opportunity for us to #DitchAUKUS. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“Only voters in Sweden have stronger anti-Trump views than Australians, who believe the president is unable to understand complex problems, not qualified to hold his job, and is unlikely to deal with major issues such as the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.” True dat. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Today at Fort Bragg, Trump crossed a new and dangerous line. He got troops behind him at this speech to boo the media and his political enemies including Gov Newsom and Joe Biden. This is the most unacceptable and egregious politicization of our troops we’ve ever seen.

I really dislike this smug, disingenuous, baseless type of critique of Greta Thunberg. For all the millions of narcissists, egotists, charismatic villains and disrupters, she’s a bleeding heart with the courage to take action beyond words. www.smh.com.au/world/middle...

"if #Robodebt can be rewarded, then nothing is off limits. If we don’t speak up, we are agreeing — in silence — to live in a nation where cruelty is policy and honour means survival at the top." 💥🎯 #ScottyFromRobodebt #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.
