French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

A speck of good news: Sam Kerr has been found "NOT GUILTY" of racially harassing that police officer in the UK. Source: The Guardian Never forget: White Privilege is arrogantly believing that reverse racism actually exists.

I went to the same high school as Sam Kerr. So did two of the girls who were murdered by the Claremont serial killer. For decades, a taxi driver was the suspect. I cannot over emphasise the impact these murders had for girls who went to my school. The fear was drillled into us from 12 years old.

When an AFL player/rugby player gets in trouble for assault, drugs, rape, domestic violence it seems to just gloss over. Sam Kerr got drunk and had an argument with a taxi driver and she is made to sound like a monster. Not cool at all.

The so called “trial” in London of Sam Kerr is a farce and a disgrace. The police officer…..if that’s what your could call him….needs to find another job! This whole situation is bullshit! The UK has a million more problems than harassing and demonising Ms Kerr, cause of some wankers ego!

Guardian: "NSW farmer fined record $1m for wiping out critical koala habitat for private airstrip larger than Sydney airport." Should have gone to gaol - zero remorse out contrition. The fine just a cost of getting his own way and quickly. #nswpol

Superb #MediaWatch tonight. Paul Barry discussed the reasons for the media's support for the Govt's #SocialMediaBan (and those who oppose it), Macca's chat with Dick Smith re #renewables and #nuclear (and the ABC Ombudsman's response). Plus Sarah Macdonald. 😔 iview.abc.net.au/show/media-w...

Kokk of the Walk By ranking, Thanasi Kokkinakis is Australia's 7th best singles player. In fact, the 28yo has never been higher than #65 in the world. But, when an Aussie represents his country? Look out, mate. Kokkinakis goes beast mode to defeat Ben Shelton, 6-1, 4-6, 7-6¹⁴.

Excuse the language but Juice Media break down why the got's proposed changes to electoral laws needs closer scrutiny to ensure they strengthen not weaken our democracy.
