Opposition Leader Peter Dutton claims that the Labor government was handed a balanced budget when it came into power. A Treasury report released weeks before the 2022 election recorded a deficit of more than $120 billion.

Sunday, April 13, 2025 Today missed being Easter by 22 minutes. Gregorian Calendar’s definition: First Sunday after the first Full Moon after the March Equinox. If the Full Moon had occurred 22 minutes earlier, landing yesterday (GMT), then today would have been that first Sunday.

In case you missed it ... In 2023, Mark Carney gave a speech about the damage Brexit has done to Britain. He knew Brexit was just the first salvo in a wider coordinated attack upon Western democracy. The aim is always to undermine the system by convincing enough people that their nation is "broken".

Last week, Trump’s tariffs made me a man. This week, his backdown made me a woman. Tell me again that gender fluidity isn’t becoming a problem. by Jesse Watters

It's always handy to compare countries to get a true perspective of how we're faring here in Australia. This graph shows that energy (electricty) has risen an average of 3.6% worldwide, while here it's dropped 12%. This further exposes #ThugDutton's lies about it. #DontRiskDutton #auspol

They're eating the stocks! They're eating the shares!

i lied. one more. “you don’t have the cards”

The weird alliance between Christian nationalists (who don't believe in scientific research because faith-healing) and Silicon Valley weirdos (who think they're smarter than scientists and will usher in a new age of AI and eugenics) is hard to wrap your mind around, but grasping this gives clarity.

During apartheid, South African armed forces killed 69 civilians in the Sharpeville Massacre. The world was shocked. This event is still taught in history classes. On average, Israel has massacred more than 70 Palestinian civilians *every day* for the past 18 months.

Oh wow, a Free trade Agreement with Israel! Amazing!! Game changer!!! Free trade with... *checks notes* ...the country that buys 0.04% of our merchandise exports and where we export less than we do to Iran, Yemen, Kuwait, Iceland...

The secretary of transportation went on Fox & Friends this morning and trashed air travel, portraying the current air traffic control system as a disaster, and then claimed taking public transit is "dangerous." I miss the DEI days when it was safe to travel.

Here’s a really depressing thought. Scott Morrison was elected leader of the Liberal Party (and therefore PM) in 2018 in order to save the party and the country from Peter Dutton. And here we are. #auspol

A Palestinian doctor's account from #Gaza today. #FreePalestine #GazaHolocaust

Surprised to see so many headlines from news outlets suggesting Putin has agreed to a ceasefire. He’s done no such thing. He’s basically said he would do in theory, providing his conditions are met, on his terms. Which is just a variation on what he’s always said.

If Trump is so keen on America First why does he boast of all his developments in other countries?

UPDATE: From the original poster of the letter on FB:

Better to go down fighting than lose every ounce of respectability and dignity! Shame on #ColumbiaUniversity youtube.com/shorts/9wPUE...

A song a Canadian friend sent me. Kudos to the singer but far more kudos to Canada for standing strong. Now we need some one to write one for Australia #Canada #auspol

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The US asked Australia for more aluminium because Russia was sanctioned. We supplied. Now Trump is tariffing us for that & buying from Russia? We’re co-investing in rare earths to break CCP monopoly. But he’d rather Russian supplies? Screwing Aus three times over www.reuters.com/world/europe...
