Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Trump and Vance handle international diplomacy like gangsters. ‘You need to be more thankful…’ they say, holding a gun to your head. The US is rapidly becoming a pariah nation.

I've been in Washington for 32 years. I have often disagreed with U.S. administrations. But this is the first time in all that time that I believe the U.S. government is an enemy of the people of the United States and our allies.

How the fuck do we live in a place where @abc-news.bsky.social are reporting on Trump’s bullying of Zelensky as if it’s a funny little spat instead of what it is: the death of planetary diplomacy, the end of trust any sovereign nation can have in the USA, and the possible beginning of World War 3?

Dutton is a former Queensland cop who has amassed 26 properties, spent the entirety of his public life advocating for more racism and weaponising fear, all the while supporting the economic incentives that encourage assholes, racist or otherwise, to hoard 26 homes.

A lot of questions have been raised over the years about how Peter Dutton acquired his wealth. During the GFC his declarations to parliament show a share-buying blitz of the big banks before Labor announced the 2009 stimulus triggering share price rises. #auspol www.news.com.au/national/pet...

All in plain sight. Please share this image with your friends, family, colleagues - in your messaging groups, on your FB! There's nothing we can do about the US, but there's a lot we can do to make sure it doesn't happen to us - especially in an election year. Time to step up! #auspol

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

Here I was worried where’s Niki. Clearly tucked away writing this blistering piece on Dutton & the line ‘little wonder Dutton has spurned Press Club. It tests mettle. There’s no substitute for substance & he has little of it. He gets nasty’ Ouch! What’s your favourite right hook in this? #auspol

Worth watching from @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "Trump is acting like a king because he's too weak to govern like a president. He's trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him" www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8QL...

I note with extreme interest, the ABC has spent millions settling cases in the past few years with white men that they clearly have not wanted to enter into an open court battle with. The ABC however, is happy to aggressively witch-hunt a Lebanese woman to the ends of the earth. Why? #LatouffvABC

Wondering what Millionaire Peter Dutton up to today? I've just been perusing Peter Dutton's speeches & media releases over the past two years and he loves to take a dig at "wealthy elites" I am here to beg you - every one of you - to always, always refer to him as Millionaire Peter Dutton from now

Peter Dutton needs to be careful. Labor could use a clip of the first four words of this audio from his 3AW interview in their ads. Dutton: "I just don't think." Sums him up perfectly. 😏 #auspol #AusVotes2025 #DumpDutton #DicksonVotes
