This morning on ABC RN Breakfast, Sally Sara's first qn to Treasurer @jimchalmers.bsky.social was this: "Will this rate cut get Labor over the line at the election?" srsly. Yet Sara failed to even mention THIS 👇 fun fact. #auspol #ausecon #AusVotes2025

So, according to Bolt, anyone who calls out Murdoch’s villainous behaviour is a “whinger”. So, by that measure, were Milly Dowler’s parents or the families of deceased British soldiers or the entire Dominion voting system just having a “wah-wah” when they called out Murdoch’s evil conduct too?

The media reporting on Clive Palmer in a political sense, is like breathlessly tracking the movements of a man who keeps announcing he’s going to Disneyland but somehow ends up in a courtroom.

Just doing some shopping and saw front pages of the Daily Terrograph and UnAustralian... had to read those papers every morning for six years working at Sydney ABC radio. Since December 2021, never opened a page of either. Yay me!

I love this Google StreetView image at Blake Hall station on the Epping-Ongar Railway, (formerly the Ongar section of London Underground's Central Line). It's so British.

Israel’s #ceasefire violations expose a disingenuous pattern: raids, sniper attacks, and settler violence persist. Was this truce timed to boost Trump’s inauguration optics while Palestinians bear the brunt? Read the full editorial: open.substack.com/pub/jamesmac...

Not just US. It will be Australia if Dutton Rinehart get government. In the words of a former Prime Minister - nope, nope, nope. #auspol #ausvotes

January 26th is not a day of celebration for Australian Indigenous communities; it marks the beginning of immense loss and trauma. #ChangeTheDate 📸: @drtracywesterman.bsky.social

Australian #ABCNewsRadio today: “The ceasefire has been broken because Hamas did not release 2 of the hostages”. So the ceasefire’s broken because Hamas didn’t do something agreed. Yet Israel continually kills Palestinians each day of the ceasefire & that isn’t a breach of the ceasefire agreement.

Sometimes, I just want to watch the world burn. Purple Pingers should never have been put in a position where he had to disclose this, in this way. It’s so unjust, and those responsible for causing this are truly the worst kind of people. www.tiktok.com/@purplepinge...

Netanyahu’s words are a masterclass in contradiction. To the world, he tries to come across as a statesman; to Israelis, a hardline nationalist. Can a leader who speaks out of both sides of his mouth ever be trusted? open.substack.com/pub/jamesmac...

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?
