Trump and Musk, between them, have 18 children (that we know about) with 7 women. Family values, GOP-style.

Jim Chalmers not convinced of Angus’ claim they won’t cut bulk billing reminds when Dutton came after Medicare as Health Min & slams the “shameful” veterans backlog left behind “U can’t pay $600bill in nuclear reactors w/out coming after Medicare again like he did last time” youtu.be/QUDmZ2nGKw4?...

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Do you think the people who think it’s a good idea to sack public servants realise they will need to be replaced by consultants? And we know how that goes…

DOGE is an extreme example of what you get when you let consultants into areas of public service they don’t want to understand, but just have predetermined outcome The last we need is Dutton letting loose more consultants on our public service

Pete Buttigieg is right. The major challenge of all progressive parties in government is that they’re tasked with fixing everything, when everything cannot be fixed all at once. And when they don’t fix everything at once, many get disillusioned, ignoring all the good they HAVE done.

Not only should all UK Politicians be pointing out Trumps continued lies, So should all Australian Politicians. #AUKUS must be openly discussed at the national level & a plebiscite must be held at the 2025 election before we continue any further with this costly dangerous alliance. #auspol #AUKUS

Donald Trump is saying if Ukraine hadn't dressed so provocatively Russia wouldn't have invaded her.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Never was this more poignant ‘Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me’. Australians are smarter…

Trump is helping to show the whole world why billionaires should never be in charge of governments. We don’t want Clive Palmer and Gina Rinehart using Liberal govt to enrich themselves!

What she said #auspol

On Gold Coast MMM radio this morning announcer expressed frustration that Cristafulli won’t come on the show after ‘we got you elected’…

Bad News for Peter Dutton as RBA says it will cut interest rates. This confirms rates started going UP under the LNP & only started coming Down under Labor (like inflation). After their Trillion dollar Debt & no surplus for a decade, LNP are now economic hacks in every measure.

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...

This is what oligarchy looks like.

He is something special. Normally you'd be thinking a 17yo would be looking to Brisbane 2032. But damn, 2028 might be his coming out party. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

Mellioidosis, the soil borne organism I was telling you about a week or two ago? There have been a large number of cases in Queensland in the flood-affected areas. Please, take extra care of yourself and your loved ones. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

this is brilliant #auspol fans youtu.be/grDb0R3KZnc

Peter Dutton wants workers to pay for their bosses' lunch. His taxpayer-funded long lunches policy would smash the budget. That's why he won't come clean on costings or cuts. #auspol #ausecon

The federal LNP have unequivocally hitched their wagon to the Trump train which probably won’t be the winner they think it is. How sad the only thing they have to offer Australians is to be poor replicas of the US Republicans.

When public figures sell us a story about who they are, we don’t have to believe them. Dutton is a multimillionaire Queensland property developer, that’s who he is in every word and action. We don’t have to believe his story, tough guy, copper, he’s a soft bellied Queensland property developer.
