Dud Dutton. Any journalist who pretends that he’s anything other than a mini Trump is lying, feigning ’balance’

If this is ‘back on track’ then it’s the wrong track #auspol

Remember this family when you vote in the next general election. #LNPNeverAgain

So here's Peter Dutton long-term plan for nuclear power, if it wasn’t already a scam. Pour hundreds of billions into the project, have taxpayers carry the can, and then flog it off to the likes of Gina to profit from. #auspol

C'mon just do it Dickson Cut off the snakes head

Is there no limits to corporate greed in this country? www.thenewdaily.com.au/work/2025/02...

PETITION TO PARLIAMENT ABOUT AUSTRALIAN CITIZENS SAFETY & SECURITY & AUSTRALIA'S SECURITY. PLEASE SIGN.

Well done SMH, this is how you report lies -as lies

God almighty that insufferable #insiders fool Speersy on 2BL, musing about the wisdom of govt intervention in taking over Whyalla steel works. "Where do you stop?" asks our man, barely hiding his free market instincts. No wonder our politicians are nongs when idiots like this ask the Q's #auspol

“We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history. The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy”

One comment does not make up for decades #auspol

The Peace Plan: Get the fuck out of our country. #StandWithUkraine

Who are both subject to the same billionaires #auspol

Putting aside his relentless bastardry, Trump is almost certainly doing Labor a ‘favor’ in the run-up to the election. Surely Australia won’t risk his clone, Peter Dutton, and his dubious ‘policies’ in this climate (despite what Murdoch and Co will say and do). Surely?

Australia’s most senior Jewish politician Mark Dreyfus has lashed Michael Sukkar for trying to gag his speech which called out LNP’s politicising of antisemitism. Says many Coalition MPs apologised privately for the gag but has still “not had an apology from Michael Sukkar”🙄

Humans are supposed to have a backbone!

Trump is selling out Ukraine like England and France served up Czechoslovakia to Hitler.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Quick thoughts on some really encouraging new numbers on jobs and wages today. Average full time earnings are now $11,000 higher than when this Albanese Labor Government came to office. More to do, but making good progress together. #auspol #ausecon @australianlabor.bsky.social

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Planet Bridgett Mackenzie? She lives in a world where aging infrastructure and price gouging is not to blame for high electricity prices, instead cheaper renewables are somehow at fault? How many scientists and economists do we need to debunk these lies before they are called out? #DuttonNo.

🧵 × 3 Jim Chalmers: "I think the Liberal Party & their cheerleaders in the media were really disappointed when rates were cut, & we see that reflected in the commentary. A lot of that commentary is a political position dressed up as economic commentary.../2

Trump is demanding slightly less from Ukraine than Hernan Cortes demanded from the Aztecs.

Look, let’s all be honest .. Albo has been a part of parliamentary system for 30 years & Dutton has been a part of it for 23 years, that enables a Billionaire who can spend $100m on an election & get one Babet. Yet the Babet is no worse than the Albanese or the Dutton to propagate it all. #auspol

How good is that, a journalist writing an article full of facts and the truth regarding Dutton and his pathetic plans to become our Prime Minister. I haven't read anything like this since the last few years of John Howard's time in politics.

Shocking to see what humans are capable of doing to other humans. I hope the perpetrators of this torture meet their karma, and that the introduction is sooner rather than later!

Join us for our next event on Northern Beaches - Wednesday,26th Feb. 6pm Mona Vale. The topic at hand is how better to include citizens in planning, instead of top-down decision making. Great speakers, I'll be moderating. Q&A See you there! www.bettercities.org.au/events/whats...

Campbell Newman Qld LNP did the same - cut thousands of "public servants" and then found out they were ambulance drivers, nurses and teachers. We sent him packing with record swings - up to 30%.

Your regular reminder that Clive Palmer has been facing criminal charges since 2018 (his last appeal to have those charges dismissed was thrown out in February 2024; the court described the delay as an abuse of process; he has since appealed to the High Court) www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Oh, don’t you just love a Jeff Kennett with pie on his face. Horrible horrible man who only had one term in Government and yet thinks he’s an expert on everything. Side down and be quiet. No one wants to hear your ‘opinion’. #auspol

The most vile thing about Palmer's #TrumpetOfThePatriots is the slogan. It's a mash-up of 2 Nazi phrases; 'Deutschland Uber Alles' (Germany over all) and 'Blut und Ehre' (Blood and Honour - the motto of the Hitler Youth). It's disgusting and belies his true aspirations. #auspol

Finally, a headline which points out that Trump is LYING, rather than just quoting him and burying the fact-check in the fifth paragraph! More of this please. Trump lies CONSTANTLY and for a decade, the media have failed to characterise it as a problem.

Today, Kennett has a column in the Herald Sun calling Jacinta Allen's "rail projects a waste of taxpayer money" except, I remember something from my early (teenage) days as a cadet. I then check my own archives. Yep, what Dan Andrews started building was originally proposed by ... Kennett. Whoops.
