A reminder for #auspol. Dutton is being rightly criticised for his complete lack or originality when he says "Make Australia Great Again", but even their current campaign slogan "Get Australia Back on Track" was stolen from their NZ stablemate the NZ National Party. It's pathetic

Peter Dutton TWO weeks ago….. “We can’t afford a tax cut”…. Bad polls?? Here’s a $1200 tax cut and huge tax deduction on mortgages. The stench of desperation from Dutton would make a sewer smell like a bed of roses.

Hey MSM – here's a career-making question for you to point blank ask RFKjr: "Please give the American public a succinct summary of the scientific method." He can't answer it.

Jacinta Price has declared she and the Liberal Party want to “Make Australia Great Again”… It’s worth remembering she was the official face of US-style, mega-millionaire funded, disinformation outfit “Advance”, that killed the Indigenous Voice 👇 theklaxon.com.au/white-mans-d...

An Australian man with a US work visa was detained upon reentry, called a “retard” and told, “Trump is back in town; we’re doing things the way we should have always been doing them.” He was held with 100 people including many Canadians. Posters celebrating equity had DEI scribbled out in marker.

About 11,000 people leave the Australian Public Service every year. Peter Dutton says he'll cut numbers by 41,000 through natural attrition but like everything else he claims there's no details. With redundancy the position no longer exists. #ausvotes www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

It's time to dump #AUKUS and walk away from the sub deal. The USA is no longer Australia's ally. We should buy from the French instead. #auspol #USPolitics #Trump #MAGA www.theage.com.au/world/north-...

Israel commits a terrible war crime. The evidence for the crime is overwhelming. The Israeli state issues a pack of lies, which the Western media eagerly laps up. In some cases, the lies are comprehensively debunked, but the rebuttal is given inadequate coverage or simply ignored. Rinse and repeat.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Trump impacts so far: 10% US tariffs in breach of the Australia-US FTA, ASX down 6%, $160B wiped off at today's opening and $AUD plunging. No surprise that local #Trump fanboys like Senator Antic have gone very quiet. They had a choice and they didn't choose Australia. #auspol

So Dutton has done a backflip on working from home. He is completely out of touch with Australian workers . He would slash the Public Service,outsource work to more expensive private contractors and punish the lowest paid Aussie workers in a heat beat . Don’t trust Dutton . Don’t risk Dutton .
