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 sheer gall of Peter Dutton to accuse PM Albanese of being obsessed with culture wars. Albo’s incredulity at the dumb question posed by the journo said it all. Dutton’s aping of Trump is embarrassing. #abc730

The Opposition's decision to politicise the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and suggest our Minister for Foreign Affairs is an inappropriate person to represent Australia at the official commemoration is, frankly, sickening. They are beyond the pale.

This kind of behaviour from the leader of Australia’s most significant defence ally and strategic partner is DEEPLY concerning.

Kevin Andrews vilified Dr Mohamed Haneef. There was no evidence presented of wrongdoing. The Australian government made a formal apology in 2010. Kevin Andrews refused to apologise. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2010/d...

HOLIDAY DRINKING TIP: when someone says they’re not drinking/refusing the alcoholic beverage you’re offering, don’t ask why. offer a non-alcoholic option & move on.. because whatever the reason is, it’s almost always none of your business.

"Ignore the Coalition's nuclear policy for what it is. A distraction." I love that Amy can tell it like it is in her new role.

McKinsey has copped a $US650m fine & a guilty plea to obstruction of justice for helping Purdue Pharma "turbocharge" sales of OxyContin despite knowing it was lethally addictive & that Purdue had already pleaded guilty to crimes relating to its sale. How is this criminal operation still trading?

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

australia wins with 1.56 MWh of annual solar generation per capita. …but you’d expect nothing less from the sunburnt country!

Almost 12% of Australia's electricity supply now comes from roof top solar which saves 4 million homes and small businesses on their power bills. Nuclear means those systems would have to be switched off regularly if Australia was to move to inflexible nuclear power. #Pissedoffvoters

I see the disgraced war mongerer Mike Pezzullo continues his scaremongering via the equally duplicitous foghorns of misinformation - The Australian. Dutton would not hesitate to employ this poisonous toad in some capacity if he got the opportunity. Evil recognises its own.

We cannot let a person who has a nematode in his brain, who was addicted to heroin for 14 years, and who drove his wife to take her own life, who has sexual assault allegations against him, and a fetish with dead animals – to make *any* kind of health decisions for *anyone*.

You’ve had roughly 20 years of policy talk and debate and committees and reports about nuclear power to analyse and to get a grip on what is real. If the best you can come up with “gee dunno, guess the politics could work” maybe think about retirement.

Has Dutton shot himself in both feet by refusing to stand in front of the Indigenous flag and by releasing a bs plan on nuclear energy? Have journos with a conscience and a brain finally realised that Dutton is unkind and very thick ?

I would not call him a fool, but Mr Littleproud is certainly not looking out for interests of farmers in places like Biloela & Gippsland. Much better uses of this water than in nuclear power stations we don’t need. #auspol
