Bernard Keane: 'Peter Dutton assiduously avoids being questioned by the media & vanishes altogether when under pressure.. a recurring feature of Dutton’s leadership is that he is unable to maintain a policy position for, in some cases, even a matter of days' #auspol www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/07/p...

<Political party that politicises anti-Semitism demands that a Jewish man who’s great grandparents were murdered at Auschwitz apologise to them for saying that they are politicising anti-Semitism> I’d say that’s a classic example of DARVO

The Coalition should shut its guts and stop inciting fear and mistrust of the Chinese. They're not the ones committing genocide or hanging their allies out to dry. We'd probably be better off as part of the Asia Pacific alliance rather than counting on Trump's America. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Well done SMH, this is how you report lies -as lies

galatasaray supporters with a beautiful message of solidarity at their europa league match tonight. it reads: “we thank the celtic supporters for their unwavering support for palestine!” global pressure and solidarity will free palestine in our lifetime 🇵🇸🍀

Undoubtedly also the case in Australian newsrooms including at the ABC, the national broadcaster. All that talk of the imperative of displaying "impartiality" while oozing pro-Israel bias from every pore. Unforgivable. #auspol #FreePalestine www.declassifieduk.org/battle-for-t...

That’s how you write a headline, people.

"Claiming Ukraine started the war was like believing that Poland invaded Germany to trigger the second world war." With the Mango Mussolini strutting the world stage, Australia needs a foreign and defence policy independent of the US ASAP. #DitchAUKUS #auspol www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Good to see Trump’s claims about Zelenskyy being described in news reporting as “false”. We have a duty as journalists to make this clear when claims being made by politicians are demonstrably and undeniably untrue. Particularly when politicians are “flooding the zone” with incorrect content.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Angus thinks he knows more than the RBA Governor when it comes to understanding the economy. This is the guy whose company registered in the Cayman Islands received $80m when Barnaby Joyce gifted it for non-existent water on Taylor’s property. And he says every dollar needs to be spent carefully.

Get this shared please

"The national anti-corruption watchdog has backflipped on its decision not to pursue investigation referrals from the #robodebt RC. ...six people will face probes over their involvement in the illegal welfare debt scheme." Good. But Brereton must resign. #NACC #auspol www.afr.com/politics/fed...

Ben English, the editor of the Daily Telegraph, said the newspaper “never intended to provoke an incident at the Cairo Takeaway restaurant” . Then what WAS your intention Ben? Hmmm? WHAT WAS IT? #auspol #accountability www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

BREAKING: The RBA has FINALLY done the RIGHT THING! & cut the cash rate by .25% to 4.1.%. It’s about 3 months too late for the liking of most people, but better late than never. This will PISS OFF! Murdoch, Gina, Thug, Suss-an & Anus immeasurably. GOOD!

#auspol The Australian economy has gone from 91st in world under the awful inept liberals to 2nd best under Labor!

Hate claws through the night, lies cascade, drowning reason— walls rise, hearts crumble.

The ABC’s financial expert Alan Kohler took a deep dive into the housing crisis and, in his opinion, former Prime Minister John Howard is the main culprit.

‘Labor's $10 billion social housing fund has made twice its benchmark rate of return in its first year in operation, bolstering future rounds of grants for social and affordable homes.’ Well that’s inconvenient, Mr Dutton. #auspol #AusVotes25 #DontRiskDutton www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

This is GREAT news...& why I have been pushing the govt to expand the size of the Housing Australia Future Fund which I supported with changes to add $6.5bn to its value already There IS capacity in the sector to build more social 🏘️ - let's get it done. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

"As a regular but reluctant watcher of #Insiders, I must say the first programs for 2025 have highlighted the setting rot in the ABC’s political coverage." Fortunately, there is now an alternative: #SundayShot. www.youtube.com/@TheSundayShot johnmenadue.com/abc-sycophan...

‘Dutton urges RBA to resist pressure to cut rates’ 🤨 Now, why would he do that? Dutton literally wants to sacrifice people struggling with mortgages so that he has a political advantage He doesn’t care abt the plebs. He only cares abt himself. This is not the kind of man who should b in politics

In many personal struggles, we often find that weak individuals in power contribute to chaos. Their ascent through nepotism and backstabbing undermines true merit. It’s time we recognise that leadership should be earned, not inherited. Let’s strive for integrity! 💪 Leadership #Integrity #Meritocracy

Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the #sundayshot this morning. Apologies if you tried to watch on YouTube - we're working on what happened there - the video will be up shortly to replay & we WILL be live next week! In the interim, you can listen to the audio below👇. shows.acast.com/the-shot-pod...

We could survive under Dutton . Learnt about resilience with Howard, Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison . On $22,000 pa we will pay more for meds, will be less bulk billing and get no electricity supplement Others will be punished because of skin colour , IR changes, PS jobs and be imprisoned or deported

Looks like those “locals” heckling Albo on the NSW coast re wind farms were Liberal rent-a-crowd sycophants & not genuine residents. What you see on the news, media & SM sources regarding any harassment of Albo & Labor in the lead up to the election should be regarded with skepticism & suspicion

“It’s telling that we have just had what could be the last week of Parliament, but it was spent on political donations reform to benefit the major parties. But no major reforms to benefit the nation.” 🎯 @rachelwithers.bsky.social #SundayShot #auspol

Replay is now up on YouTube. Sorry for the snafu this morning! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OWA...

Anthony Albanese could have set up a Royal Commission into the Murdoch media & he could have legislated truth in political advertising, but he did neither. He may well live to regret this. #auspol
