Bruce Lehrmann is nearly 3 times as likely to be convicted of car theft (16%) than rape (6.5%), according to figures published by the Australian Institute of Criminology.

The pope dead yet? Asking for a friend.

That's not a trumpet. This is a trumpet. #potpatriots #auspol

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

He really is an unmitigated piece of shit. #auspol www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

This ‘Captain’s Call’ from Jacinta Allan is as bad as any that Abbott or Morrison ever made. An appalling lack of judgement on every level. The fact that her husband is a hunter is the icing on the shit cake. #Auspol #SpringSt

Word of the day is ‘arsle’ (19th century): to have a distinct sense of going backwards.

Shades of the great PJK on display here from @senatorwong.bsky.social

Any chance the MSM might pick up on this good news story? #auspol

Why the fuck do we even HAVE an ambassador to the Vatican ? What does he do, exactly ?

Dutton today on Jews in Australia: "I’ve never seen an element of society ostracised in such a way" Yeah, that's why they have a much lower life expectancy, earn 25% less than everyone else, and are 17 times more likely to be incarcerated... Oh wait, no that's another group.. can't think who.

💔💔💔

This is not an idle threat. Dutton is coming after the Public Service right around Australia with dire consequences. “Dutton wants to slash thousands of government jobs in an Elon Musk-style crusade. But what’s actually on the chopping block?” #PutLNPlast www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.

Every Teal candidate should be handing out a copy of this article to every voter, particularly female voters, in their electorate. #auspol @simonahac.bsky.social womensagenda.com.au/latest/peter...

My latest in The Echo. The Albanese govt's reforms are not being given the credit they deserve. The focus group-driven mantra of a ‘do nothing’ govt cannot be sustained if our erstwhile political commentators bothered to look at what the govt has actually done #auspol www.echo.net.au/2025/01/main...

Good grief…🤦🏻‍♀️

I feel I speak for all with a knowledge of the inner North of Melbourne when I say, there is no such thing as a ‘ Clifton Hill influencer’.

🎯 Spud has a woman problem… #Auspol

Extremist, misogynistic haters have no place in Australian parliament. This is hideous stuff from Babet. Calling a woman “thing”, “witch” and “demon” is beyond offensive. I hope the senate condemns this filth.

Immigrants are taking all the best jobs.

It's going to be way worse than we thought.....

For those saying it wasn't a Nazi salute. Keep posting it. Keep sharing it.

I dedicated years of my life to reporting on January 6 and exposing what happened. I was there that day, co-wrote a book, and published a series of major stories on my own, for Rolling Stone, and for TPM. I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.

You spelt Heil wrong Herald Sun

JFC! If we make it through the next 4 years alive it will be a miracle. Clowns to the left of me , despots to the right....

The only thing that makes fascism even worse is when it comes wrapped in bad spray tan and dancing vibes that are cursed.

Indeed. Someone had a rush of blood when they came up with this ‘policy’. #auspol

Didn’t take long

Why is Ged Kearney the only former ACTU president that can’t score a spot on the front bench? 2 reshuffles recently and no promotion. Popular and a great performer, it makes no sense. And he hasn’t promoted women just loaded up existing portfolios…. #Auspol www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

The best politician a billionaire in Australia can buy is Peter Dutton. Really? All that wealth and the best you can afford is Peter Dutton?

Greens integrity spokesman Tim Read says Victoria needs to limit campaign donations and spending for local govt elections. Analysis shows the Greens were the biggest single donor, tipping in nearly half-a-million dollars for 124 candidates. Hypocritical claptrap. #Auspol

A poll of 1000 people picked by Right wing nut job think tank The Institute of Public Affairs. 🤡🤡🤡
