🚨 Trump is now fundraising off his threats to fire federal employees 🚨 A new email asks recipients if he should fire any federal worker who doesn't respond to Elon Musk's emails. The "poll" is just a donation page.

Linda Reynolds says due to it being her last Estimates, wants Katy Gallagher to apologise for harm caused to her by asking questions yrs ago on the alleged rape of Brittany Higgins, but storms off in embarrassment when her plan turns south🔥 Gallagher “My conscious is clear” youtu.be/A2KXi5KJAbA?...

What an absolute shit show. Putin and Xi are laughing hysterically at this crew.

NATO can't protect Europe from Russia because the US has defected. The EU can't because UK is no longer a member. The UN can't because of Russia & US. We need a body with Europe + UK but not Russia + US, with existing admin infrastructure. What I'm saying is: arm the Eurovision Song Contest.

WTAF are they going to do when numbers of ppl of colour and various racial or ethnic backgrounds exceed the white population as predicted? No DEI hires for them! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Australia - perfect time to break the alliance - start by dumping Aukus. #auspol

Woah. One billionaire not quite like the others. 😊🤞🦋

This was never in doubt. 👇 You’d never guess the referrer is great mates with the current LNP candidate. I mean what are the chances? Q. What’s he up to now? 🤔 A. Working for the coal lobby running misinformation campaigns into the same electorate. 🙄 zoedaniel.com.au/2025/02/20/s...

It's the inquiry which will either clear the air for NACC, or justify total abolition with current commissioners marked never to be appointed to any government post

Peter Dutton spks on “dark chapters” of the past, marking the 17th anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations. “We’ve accepted those chapters & apologised for them” No you didn’t, you didn’t have the stomach to say sorry & walked out. Fkn racist liar.

‘Donald Trump’s dramatic and vile dismantling of USAID came as USAID’s inspector general was conducting an investigation involving Musk’s company, Starlink. In three steps, Trump’s administration killed the investigation that was sure to embarrass Elon’s company’ Well, now we know…

A Gazan man has revealed plans to take over southern California, expel its residents and turn it into the ‘Riviera of North America’. “Los Angeles is a soulless, vacuous hell hole. It’s just a big pile of rubble and collagen right now" Read the full story --> tinyurl.com/42ejs5cd

Not long ago, Trump’s son-in-law was praising Gaza as fine beachfront real estate. Now Trump is saying that the USA will “own” the Gaza Strip & “create jobs”. It’s hard to tell what’s policy & what’s distraction with Trump, but this certainly looks like property theft through genocide. Hateful.

Here it is, in their own words - the reason no sane Australian should be voting for the Coalition at the upcoming elections. 👇🏻 #wapol #auspol

The return capsule is docked to the ISS already. The reason they haven’t come down is because they’re waiting for a replacement crew. If they leave before the replacement crew arrives, all the mice and tardigrades and such on board the ISS will starve to death.

Oh David Pope, you’ve done it again! #auspol cartoonists continue to demonstrate why, so often, one of their pictures is worth so much more than 1000 hack words #AusVotes25 @agnessmack.bsky.social

Today’s sell of #Dutton by the #SMH tells us Dutton’s front bench ‘delivers gender parity with Labor’. Sneaky little sell when the big picture is only 31%of #LNP pollies are women whereas #Labor has 53% women.

Ethnic cleansing; imperialism; flat out lunacy. Oh yeah, hanging with a Neo-Nazi in Vegas.

What a farce. Dutton & Taylor have just admitted their new tax perks for long lunches policy will extend to golf & movie days for bosses. 3 years in opposition & this is the best they come up with. They still won’t say how much it will cost taxpayers. www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/foo...

reminder: this is the point of the barrage of batshit appointments if you are a tiny bit freaked out by each of them it will add up to “too freaked out to do anything about anything” pick ONE thing at a time to be upset about, decide what action to take on it, then follow through, repeat

Here's a list of Dutton's plans - so far. What a shocking and dangerous vision for our fellow Australians #auspol

This is just so good (if you are a serious nerd and I am)

Look what he said and look who's replied. #auspol

Back on track to what? The Morrison years? The Turnbull years? The Abbott years? or how about The Howard years? To borrow from Midnight Oil 🎶these should not be forgotten years🎶 #Auspol

Elon Musk has posted ***300 TIMES*** about UK "grooming gangs" in the last ten days. Including: Calling for UK government officials to be hanged and jailed; demanding the removal of Keir Starmer as UK prime minister; suggesting Tommy Robinson be released from prison. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Non-US governments should start charging the United States to hire its graduates. Non-US taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidising the training that the US refuses to provide to its domestic workforce. Either make these workers full US citizens - or pay for them. www.thebulwark.com/p/why-dont-t...

There are 3.4 million girls 14 and under in England. Elon Musk just wrote that 1 out of every 13 such girls is right now being “systematically raped by migrant gangs.” The man has gone utterly insane. He’s a sociopath. His latest post is—unambiguously—neo-Nazi rhetoric intended to incite violence.

Idaho arrests American U.S. citizen aka white male after finding he planted an IED on a train. A pipe bomb. On a train. It’s only January 2nd. I’ve lost count but I think this is # 5 in just two days. WTF. www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/c...

Yes. Yes. Yes. An Australian trends section please!! Retweet if you agree. #aussietrends

lol - congrats to the News Corp journo who secured an interview with the boss of News Corp so that he could deny they were working to elect Dutton

God damn Caravaggio 🎨👄

Block or charge?

The willingness of Aust media & politicians to use unfiltered & prejudicial comments by a corrupt Israeli PM to attack Australia's PM is truly disgusting. It's one thing having a political disagreement: quite another to undermine national sovereignty. What happened to "we decide" Australian policy?
