Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

So the “Peter Dutton says” ABC is unbiased? In a lengthy thing on its website about Trump and Russia now: Mr Trump's outburst was widely criticised, including by Australia, where opposition leader Peter Dutton said the US leader had "got it wrong". No mention, at all, of the actual prime minister.

If it's any consolation (and it might not be), America has been pretty fucken evil for the last 50-60 years anyway. It just usually has better PR and mythmaking than this.

Our ABC is quoting Mike Pezzullo as a legitimate source again today. Kim Williams has failed to reform the news service. #AusPol

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

On ABC RN Breakfast just now, host Sally Sara rptedly pushed her guest, Commonwealth Bank CEO Matt Comyn, to criticise footballer Sam Kerr, asking what he thought of Kerr's words and whether her reputation has been damaged. I'm sick of this copying of the tabloid media's narrative. 😔 #journalism

At our ABC a senior journalist, Jacob Greber, is still quoting Mike Pezzullo as a reliable source. Pezzullo was sacked, had his AO revoked, was recognised as a Tory political operative. Pezzullo cheered on war with China and demanded a “right winger” as minister of “his” department. #AusPol

Taken by a friend in Whittlesea, this is what it looked like looking towards Kinglake from Whittlesea on Balc Saturday. As a resident of Kinglake, this is what we faced. It wasn't just a bushfire. Cars and homes were literally exploding as if they'd been bombed.

“Despite claims from the gas industry that it’s a transition fuel and it helps lower emissions, there’s been no sign that the gas exports have replaced coal,” IEEFA's Kevin Morrison said. "It’s not reducing emissions. It’s adding to emissions.” reneweconomy.com.au/woodsides-cl...

Come on. Trump is a “thinker”, says genius Dutton, the day the Orange Fuhrer suggests annexing Gaza and deporting its citizens. Which says it all really

Canada might be a lesson to us. After being dragged into multiple wars and bad deals to please the Yanks, we’ve been shown they are nobody’s friend (as a nation, not their often lovely if often apathetic citizens),
