In an ideal world the President of the United States, the world's richest man, and the two worst humans alive would be four different people.

I'd like Peter Dutton to know I AM fed up. Fed up with men promoting #sexism & #misogyny & denigrating women, in order to win the votes of disengaged men. It's dumb, destructive & dangerous. I hope Labor's @alifrance.bsky.social wins #Dickson in a landslide. #auspol #DicksonVotes #AusVotes2025

What’s wasteful is ordering feds to explain their jobs instead of letting them DO their jobs.

Mining billionaire Gina Rinehart is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump. She wants Dutton and the LNP to win govt here in Australia to introduce Trump-style politics that protect the interests of the wealthy and hurt the average Australian worker. #auspol #AusVotes2025 #DumpDutton #DicksonVotes

Hail President Krasnov! uk.news.yahoo.com/donald-trump...

The Morrison Govt actively avoided caring for our ADF veterans. Dutton has already declared he would repeat this. 😠 #auspol #AusVotes2025 #DumpDutton #DicksonVotes

If the proposed laws around mandatory sentences targeting alleged ‘antisemitism’ were targeting all racism and had been around during the Voice debate, we’d have had to build new jails. I’d be feeling pretty unappreciated if I was an Indigenous Australian. #auspol

It's good Labor has adopted part of our plan to help people see the GP for free, now let's make it law before the election. The PM should recall Parliament this week to legislate & Dutton-proof this policy. Then next Parliament we can keep Dutton out & get dental into Medicare.

So we have a Fox News “personality” and racist Christian nationalist who spends most of his time shit faced drunk in his own piss and puke running our armed forces and he is firing the adults who know what they are doing… What could go possibly wrong? Almost like it was planned by Putin himself…

Australia’s defence spending sees to be a joke. Lots of money spent, lots of politicians making speeches, lots of chest thumping and posturing, very little effective defence capability at any time.

“Project 2025 drew heavily on Orbán’s strategy, Scheppele adds. ‘First you defund everything your opponents do. Then you purge the civil service of those who are not loyal to you. Then you threaten the media with economic sanctions so they fall in line. You pack the courts; you cow the parliament.’”

Imagine being too far-right and Nazi-like for the French far-right: "French far-right leader cancels US speech after ex Trump aide Bannon appeared to make 'Nazi gesture'"

Not long after I submitted my application to the national redress scheme I received a phone call from the local police where the abuse occurred. The Catholic church had reported my application to police after the government provided my application to the church.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.
