So a 35-year-old five foot two woman who is a former politician is arrested by NSW police in a small protest, left like this, and may have serious eye injuries. Yet police say it’s not going to classed as “critical incident”? You think?

An essay on a wealthy minority’s greed.

What about politicians in diapers? When can we change him?

At lest gestapo showed their faces, and had real uninforms.

Love to see Harry VIII get Tiddles to wear that

Chicken out.

I mean, look at him. Lights are on but nobody’s home

Sydney’s public transport is cheap and (mostly) reliable. The only problem is getting a seat. Tens of thousands of us use it daily and thus don’t further clog roads. To steal the old line: build it and they will come (for the ride)

No court would convict

Careful, that stuff will leave you legless

But … but … you’re not an actor! (I could understand his tiny minded confusion if he was complaining about a Japanese-made hatchback 🤣).

No shots of the small crowds??

Cops in chemist: “Describe the villain who stole the eucalyptus oil.” “Well he was 2ft tall and had grey hair, but his prints are all over the display case.”

Not laughing. Walking away, like when a good friend betrays you. We won’t be back for a generation or more.

JFC Why you guys cannot say something like what the Canadian PM had said @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social @tonyburkemp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social @jasonclaremp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social

Beyond measure!!! (Ok they can’t be measured)

Why are they even letting freedom boy on the radio? Don’t they get that his party is 3 to 6 to 9 years from power? If that. They may as well have asked my cat.

Chicken taco, coming up.

They have the numbers.

Poor Ted. Someone needs to let him (and the Australian) know that after last month’s crushing defeat he has a minority in both houses of Aus parliament and Labor can and will ignore him for at least three and maybe six years. Better get a hobby Ted.

Repost if you agree

And their intelligence. Trust the guy on the left to think things through and work out the consequences before speaking. Guy on right … blah blah hate blah blah.

Oh.

Rio Tinto has form destroying indigenous sites. Juukan Gorge? Blew it up.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

A vast amount of evidence shows that their nuclear policy cost the Coalition critical votes across Australia, and may have ultimately cost the Coalition around 11 seats So pleased the Coalition is sticking with it then They'll be in opposition forever #pfffft reneweconomy.com.au/nuclear-powe...

What do you call it? My @smh @theage cartoon.

The brawling has started. And will destroy them. Labor must be rejoicing.

How in the fuck do we live in a country where the United Nations say FOURTEEN THOUSAND babies in Palestine are at risk of dying from starvation within the next 48 hours and the Australian media aren’t screaming at @albomp.bsky.social and his government to DO SOMETHING CONCRETE TO HELP? #NewsCorpse
