Little known fact that Aust Special Envoy to Combat Anti-Semitism (Jillian Segal) + one of her advisers took a trip to the US in early March 2025. I sought access to the briefing pack via FOI. This is what I got back. Yes, that's it a cover page.

to be clear - I did think they would go this route, just thought they'd be a bit more subtle about the slide. But tbh the article about how quickly Hitler destroyed German democracy was rather on the money.

Okay here we go. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and opposition leader Peter Dutton, live from the ABC studios in Parramatta, hosted by ABC everyman David Speers.

Apologies for spamming this post into your feeds. I just think it's important to remind as many people as possible that Dutton really is a fucking monster. We can and should make jokes about him, but the man has also repeatedly demonstrated his desire to harm those who least deserve it.

Peter Dutton has revealed another astute share trading move confirming he dumped his BHP shares in 2008 two days before the mining giant slashed 3,300 jobs. But he’s denied any inside knowledge on the decision that sparked an 8.5% slump in the share price. #auspol www.news.com.au/national/fed...

As Home Affairs Minister, Peter Dutton repeatedly argued in court against providing life-saving medical care to lawful refugees and asylum seekers in Australia's care. Here's a list of just some of the lives he tried to subject to negligent care in 2018 alone. A significant trigger warning here.

Peter Dutton says he'll never stand in front of an Aboriginal flag as prime minister. I think we should make his wish come true by not allowing him to be PM. You're welcome, Peter. #auspol

So, surprise, surprise, it turns out that the USA isn’t as open to sharing technology under #AUKUS as Defence Minister Richard Marles has claimed. Another reason why we need a no-holds-barred Senate inquiry to lift the lid off this radioactive can of worms. #auspol

Former Tory MP, Craig Williams, and 14 others, charged with gambling offences over the 2024 election. I’m surprised, as he doesn’t look like the sort of smug, entitled Tory prick that would think the rules didn’t apply to him.
