I mean…👏🏻

I’ve worked at the last 3 elections. I will not be working this election as I’m no longer willing to be politically neutral. This is a pivotal time in history where morally I cannot keep quiet. We need to do everything we can to avoid following the US path. #keepduttonout #auspol #AusVotes25

So true. Empathy is the future.

Musk deleted this post. Let’s not let anyone forget about it.

Sounds about right.

When the Yale Professor who is an expert in fascism leaves the country to escape impending fascism, it’s time to take things seriously. If a meteorologist leaves because an asteroid is heading towards your city, you don’t just stand there and stare at the sky. 🚩 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Great work from the Shovel as usual. 🤣

I agree, but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have either of those.

The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite. My full interview here:

I really think it needs a good rethink and re-evaluation given current circumstances. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/defence...

I hope she is never silenced.

This would be an interesting development if true. 🤔 tvpworld.com/85755992/chi...

Anthony Albanese flagged his support for Australian workers’ right to flexibility. “WFH policies help ease traffic congestion, benefit women and boost rural and regional areas”. www.9news.com.au/national/wor...

The best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour.

Bernie and AOC are kicking butt!

If eggs are too expensive right now you can go with Kraft singles apparently. 😂🤣

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.

As an Australian I’m upset that Pam Bondi is giving ‘Bondi’ a bad name. Just to clarify we pronounce it Bond-eye but still, it’s upsetting.

Gina Rinehart was at Mar-A-Lago for Trump’s victory party. She also has a close bond with Dutton, he’s been quoted saying: “I was very proud to be at Gina Rinehart’s 70th birthday. I consider her to be a dear friend, a great Australian and Australia’s most successful businesswoman.”

Is it dementia or just his modus operandi to deny reality?

Well, there you go. “If it continues like this, the United States will not score as a democracy when we release [next year's] data," as quoted by CBC. He also mentioned that, "If it continues like this, democracy [there] will not last another six months” m.economictimes.com/news/interna...

I want to make a comment about the party of free speech, but it’s really beating a dead horse at this point. We all know that they don’t actually support free speech. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Today has been rather overwhelming but seeing that nearly all cyber trucks in the US have been recalled perked me up a bit.

Right now, we have an authoritarian president. He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts. Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.

US pharmaceutical companies are attacking Australia’s PBS. Consider this when you cast your vote this year. Who do you think would fight harder to keep life saving medicines affordable for the people? #keepduttonout
