The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"

Peter Dutton plans to butcher the public service, DOGE style. The last time the LNP tried that they just shoveled cash to the big 4 consulting firms so we got shocking waste, corrupted governance, rampant secrecy & hopeless service. #TaxLawLeak #auspol

#BREAKING Australia to deport all the people released by the High Court to Nauru. Immoral, inhumane, Trumpian and highly likely to be unconstitutional. I explain in 1 minute what’s shockingly just been announced by the Albanese Government.

ABC’s Global Affairs Editor John Lyons has called out “the media” for keeping quiet about “huge oil & gas reserves off the coast of Gaza.” Says that if Trump “moves troops in” & gets the “Palestinians to leave” he’ll be able to steal it all from the Palestinians.

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Another day of "May be Mossad; may be Nazis; but I prefer to point a finger at peaceful pro-Palestinian activists." Lesser: "We must stand together as Australians—united in our abhorrence of those who seek to perpetrate such hatred." Still no "abhorrence" for those who commit acts of GENOCIDE.

Israel's ban on #UNRWA "would cripple the humanitarian response in #Gaza and deprive millions of Palestine refugees of essential services in the #WestBank" And that's the point. During the ceasefire, the Netanyahu regime continues their genocide by other means. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/...

Another policy to look forward to under the next LNP government starring Peter Donald Dutton ... the banning of Pride/Rainbow and First Nations and Black Lives Matter flags. It will be a crime to display any of these things anywhere in Australia. You can bet on it. #auspol
