This Republican Senator - a pro-Israel zealot and Trump ally - is openly threatening the life of Greta Thunberg and others on the Gaza aid ship. Why? Because they're trying to bring aid to a Gaza starved by a key US ally. The world is run by gangsters.

I reckon a lot of Australians would rather we kicked the US out of Pine Gap and closed their military bases here, rather than pay them MORE protection money. We've already spent nearly half a $Trillion on #AUKUS. That's money not going to services for our citizens. #auspol

On Facebook they post endless warnings about Nigel Farage. Last week Starmer did a big giant speech about the dangers of Farage. All the while they're trying to be him. It would be like saying "I hate David Bowie, he's so shit" while sporting a red glitter lightning bolt over one eye.

Ruth Richardson is why I live in Australia. What her policies and worldview did to NZ's low-income and vulnerable communities, to single mothers like mine—well, my opinion on Richardson is not fit to print. That's not because I shy from profanity, but because words fail to convey my disdain properly

An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. Immigrants are vital to the fabric of our communities, our economy and our labor movement. The real threat workers face is not immigrants - it’s corporate greed.

Racist Pauline Hanson had no chance of winning in any HoR seats, but rather she was harvesting cash, to fund her campaign in the legally separate Senate elections.

Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t get married to the same sex. Don’t like gender-affirming care? Don’t have any. Don’t like Planned Parenthood? Don’t go there. Don’t like abortion? Don’t get one. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean others shouldn’t be able to it.

Australians didn’t vote for more gas exports. They voted for climate action, cost-of-living relief, and a future our kids can look forward to. Approving the North West Shelf Extension is the opposite.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?
