Tell me you don't understand insurance without saying you don't understand insurance. dutton needs to google antiselection. Also, funny how the liberal party (the 'free market' party) is willing to intervene in the market rather than admit climate crisis is a thing

What if y'all stopped believing y'all are divinely and innately more Righteous and Democratic than those backwards third world countries you look down upon as sites of imperialist extractivism, and instead put a little elbow grease into safeguarding your rights like they had to? Chauvinist.

Iraq was what permanently radicalized me. It should have permanently radicalized everyone. I always had a healthy distrust of the Americans and of my own government, but that was when it really hit that "Okay, this power structure is my enemy, and it needs to be brought down."

Succumbing to bullying from right-wing corporations like News Corp creates a guaranteed win for News Corp: First, the scalp, and then the subsequent decay / collapse of the institution due to the entirely justified backlash and scandal. The only response is: **never submit to the bullies**

The fix is in We've known from the start this would be a major party stitch up to lock out new community-backed independents. Giving more taxpayer $$ to pollies with no truth in political advertising protections is particularly shameful👎 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Where is the solidarity with AP? Journalists claim to defend the freedom of the press. Yet they’re piss poor at supporting their own. This is a test case against authoritarianism. Every member of the White House press corps should boycott WH events in support of AP. Then watch Trump back down

Whether Ita meant this or not, her evidence has conveyed the distinct impression that the ABC thinks that to "criticise Israel" is something only an "activist" can do, and that being an "activist" makes you unemployable by it.

Federal government should initiate a wholesale review of ABC governance, charter, complaints process, independence etc. What’s been revealed in the past week is an indictment on basically every layer of management. And it’s only been revealed by this case. Imagine what we don’t know.

I can't express strongly enough how vital I feel it is for Antoinette Lattouf to win her case against the ABC From the cancellation of workshops by SLV, to Jayson Gillham being censored by the MSO, now Peter Lalor getting sacked from bloody cricket commentary, rn no-one is safe from the Zionist mob

You don't often see the desire for more people to be out of work stated so blunty. Also in this op-ed Hogan says the cash rate should have gone to 5%. Some people *really* wanted a recession.

How is this not racist propaganda: criticism of a liberal leader candidate that trends on WeChat is considered foreign information manipulation, a malicious threat, interference... but when it's literal nazi hate on the bird app, no problem...
