The Prime Minister should not be inviting Trump to Australia. Trump is a danger to peace and a danger to democracy. He emboldens hate and hard-right ideology. We should be rethinking our relationship with Trump's US, not sucking up to him.

I’ve seen a Palestinian father tenderly cradle and stroke the decapitated head of his toddler through my screen this morning while blogging about tax cuts and Australian politics and I’m not sure I’ve ever been more outside my body. How can anyone still defend what Israel is doing? How???

Walz: "I think we have to assume the very worst in everything this administration does, and we need to prepare for it."

Completely obscene.

We are not America & yet it eerily feels like that’s where Peter Dutton wants to take us on immigration if PM. He has already said he admires Donald Trump, calling him “a big thinker.” This proposal is dangerous, poses a threat to our multicultural Australia & our democracy

Trump, the Orange Oaf, thinks he’s a great dealmaker. But it’s becoming increasingly clear that the war criminals Putin and Netanyahu have both walked all over him. Got everything they wanted.

Walter Sofronoff - head of the ACT Lehrmann inquiry - has been found to have engaged in "serious corrupt conduct" through his disclosures to two journalists: Janet Albrechtsen at The Australian newspaper & Elizabeth Byrne at the ABC. Well, well, well . . . www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The ACT Integrity Commission has found the man [Walter Sofronoff] who led the Board of Inquiry into the prosecution of Bruce Lehrmann engaged in "serious corrupt conduct”. amp.abc.net.au/article/1050...

After tearing down the last referendum - that was about recognising and respecting Australia’s first peoples - Peter Dutton now wants to spend public money on a new referendum designed to whip up hate, division and fear of migrants. Just more nasty, lazy Trump-type politics from the Liberals.

It’s worth remembering that Dutton promised a referendum on constitutional recognition during the referendum on constitutional recognition and reneged as soon as the divisive impact he wanted was landed. He can’t be trusted. He never genuinely acts in the national interest.

It's also worth remembering, Dutton's usual tactics are to say something outrageous that has zero substance to it, provoke a headline that then gets the Karls and the Speersies of the world all frothy-mouthed so they have content to fill their desperate air time with. (see Agenda Setting Theory)

If the executive (president or prime minister) doesn’t obey rule of law and ignores court orders, the country stops being a democracy. It’s not a difficult call. And the US is very, very quickly heading that direction, if Trump’s behavior continues unconstrained.

Society has become too sophisticated and complex for many of the people living in it to be able to constructively exist. Unless we start pumping resources into our human development (education, critical skill development etc) we'll all end up like the US. The Scandinavians have been right on this.

Schumer Logic: I will vote YES to prevent the temporary shutdown of our government and give Trump and his Administration the necessary resources to permanently shutdown our government. #LoomerSchumer

US Attorney-General Pam Bondi has just told the Justice Department that “We all work for the greatest President in our history.” Sycophancy on an epic scale. She is clearly deranged.

If there's going to be a gigantic global trade war using the blunt tools of the 19th Century, Australia - which has no tariffs - should keep them at zero regardless of what happens. Exert pressure by regulatory means on things like profit flows, but don't fuck with domestic pricing.

If you aren’t going to stand up, then sit down and get the fuck out of the way. youtu.be/uyXlacGVt00?...

Trump has denounced judges, prosecutors and members of Biden's government as corrupt and threatened to jail them. He says there has to be accountability. The irony is lost on him, I'm sure. #ConvictedFelon This bloke is a dictator and he needs to be removed. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/...

Senator Wish-Wilson explains how foreign interference, through local branches, is trying to control Australian government policy to sabotage climate change initiatives and social supports on behalf of fossil fuel and tech billionaires. This isn't conspiracy. It's fact. youtu.be/DHkwa_rrM4w

It's incredible that billionaires will pump so much money into their misinformation campaigns, that do harm to society, but they'll go to huge lengths so as not to pay taxes which could benefit society enormously. #auspol

Anthony Albanese has resurrected his entire career in the last 7 days. 1. Immediately stand with Ukraine 2. He was correct on the false flag Terror plot 3. Call out trump and not exacerbate the problem with a counter tariff In the meantime, Dutton is in hiding for abandoning his community.

Sinodinos, former Lib USA ambassador, made it crystal clear on 730 we’d get no tariff exemption no matter what we did. Dutton very wrong not to be Team Oz on this. He’s unfit to be PM.

“The answer is clear, Australia cannot afford another LNP rule. Their track record is corruption, economic mismanagement, and attacks on democracy. With Peter Dutton leading the opposition, the same destructive policies of the Morrison era will return.” theaimn.net/why-we-canno...

"Honey!! It seems Trump and Musk *are* close. Why didn't anyone tell me?! We're getting a new car, TODAY!'

The complete unseriousness of Dutton criticising Albanese for not ‘lobbying Trump in person’ after spending much of the term calling Albanese ‘Airbus Albo’. There is no universe where the Coalition wouldn’t have criticised Albanese for heading to the US this close to an election

Did anyone do this? I was being serious. Screen shot it and send it to him. I want him to know the ride is almost over. I want him to know we are not afraid of him.

renting that crane twice a year is such a waste

Today's ABC column, about Donald Trump. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

I hate how accurate this feels right now🫣

Elon Musk saw my post about his Nazi momma — Sooo he replied to another one of my posts tagging the “IFindRetards” account rumored to be an alt of his — and I’m now receiving death and rape threats because of the owner of the platform.

So sweet that the ABC keeps funding a program no one watches or has any influence or intelligence by getting on guests in what is now just an absolute parody of itself.

1/ A week ago I had a heart attack. Certainly wasn't on my 2025 bingo card but it seems years of healthy living means jack shit when you've got a hitherto unknown genetic predisposition to high cholesterol. Luckily got to hospital just in time and had a stent put in. I should be okay with a daily

What a wonderful idea…👇 Let’s. Do. This. ✨

It’s heartbreaking to watch Tяump betray the Ukrainian people but it is becoming increasingly clear that he keeps tightening the screw on Ukraine because he has no leverage over Putin. His only hope of a deal is to force Ukraine to submit to Russia’s terms. Shameful and dangerous for us all

Breaking news: Major capitals across the globe send expressions of interest to SpaceX to provide fireworks for annual NYE celebrations.

Look, be fair. I'm sure Senator Price's alleged misuse of government funds was only so she had personal experience to draw on, so she could better understand her shadow portfolio. #LNPCrimeSyndicate #auspol

I’m watching the Channel 9 coverage of TC Alfred, which is pretty much them sensationalising anything to do with it. So far I have not heard one mention of homeless or rough sleepers. It’s like they really don’t give a fuck about our most vulnerable.

Five things Donald Trump accomplished this week: 1. Promised more tax cuts for billionaires 2. Further abandoned our ally Ukraine 3. Flip-flopped on tariffs and tanked the stock market 4. Completely ignored skyrocketing prices 5. Went golfing Hope this helps, Elon.

There are Democrats who voted to censure Al Green? Just become a Republican you assholes.

Still waiting for an answer from @zoedaniel.bsky.social to this question from @rosiedekat.bsky.social #auspol #AusVotes25

For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme." Un-fucking-real.

Let that sink in! #BlueStormComin1 #Resist #FelonTrump
