It’s just seriously depressing to see a country descending into oppression and division. Countries like Oz should take note; we have people here who embrace Trumpism and we are not immune. #auspol www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Senior Liberals have difficulty reading the voting public. Period. Instead of “failing to communicate well” they might try listening. Oh, and do some actual policy work. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Surely the Australian tax payer is entitled to a detailed explanation about what this new #ALP gov think the #AUKUS benefits and deliverables are. “Defence Partnership” doesn’t cut the mustard. #Auspol

I look forward to seeing Laura Tingle excelling in her new role. Thank you for so many years of sound reporting and analysis, Laura.

APAN President Nasser Mashni says he welcomes today’s strong language by the PM on Israel but says it’s come too late, says Israel is “not a democracy, it’s a rogue apartheid genocidal state, headed up by a war criminal. It’s time for Australia to do more than just talk…” #Abc

Too bloody right!

I find myself completely unable to function today. I’ve seen a child surrounded by the flames of what was her family home. Starving babies. Defeated, broken men. Women cradling their shrouded children. It’s too much. And yet I still have to hear ‘but Hamas..’ FUCK OFF. Israel is committing genocide

there are wolves roaming the streets and no way of knowing who’s next on the list to be devoured we are reliving a history we hoped was buried forever and I tremble In the darkness as the howling grows nearer and louder every day. ~ RC deWinter

Why is the word “settlers” used? It is a benign word that masks the grotesqueness of one group forcing another from their homes. As a minimum, the word should be in inverted commas. #genocide #TruthInMedia www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

C’mon, Labor. Y’ know this is wrong.

Hilariously, the AFR is showing just how absurd is the scare campaign against the super tax changes. They give an eg where someone's super goes from $2m to $3.18m in a year! Yep a $1.18m increase. How much extra tax? $1,528! OMG!! THAT'S OUTRAG... err... oh actually that's bugger all

Let me just admit that Bridget McKenzie and David Littleproud make me feel a degree of sympathy and, yes, even support for Sussan Ley. The #Gnats have done themselves no favours. This is a pretty monumental moment for me. #auspol

No idea why media still depicts Nats as a farmers party. They are a mining party beholden to coal and gas interests and funded by Gina Rinehart. When there is a conflict between farmers and fossil fuels, they always back fossil fuels. Their opposition to wind is to protect fossil fuels for longer.
