to quote a famous Aussie Politian, "as far as I'm concerned let a thousand blossoms bloom" but I have no idea why my "what's hot classic" feed gets so much gay furry content 🤣

for real though the 2028 presidential candidates' debate between #Trump and #Obama should be a pay per view event, I'd pay good devalued Australian dollars to see that

Australia processes ~19,000 asylum seekers who arrive by plane onshore, living freely while claims are assessed. Only ~200 came by boat last year—yet we spend $580M/year detaining them offshore. Offshore costs 14x more than onshore. Make it make sense. #auspol

cost per person for processing of asylum seekers, as per Asylum Seeker Resource centre figures; - Offshore $573k - Onshore $346k - Community based $40k really difficult to make an argument for the motivation for our policies other than "fuck 'em" at this point. #Auspol

As someone who served on Operation Relex back in 2003 and seen that shit first hand, it’s honestly disgraceful we are STILL offshore processing #asylumseekers all these years later. Labor/Liberal, just kicking the can down the road indefinitely #Auspol

Our leaders keep telling us about all these “shared values” Australia has with our “ally” the #US but do we? They are gun obsessed, anti-rule of law, anti-democracy, profit only healthcare. I guess the shared shitting on asylum seeker human rights is all we have left 🤷🏻 #Auspol

For many, medicinal use cannabis has improved quality of life by alleviating symptoms that were unresponsive to other treatments or acted as an alternative to genuinely dangerous options like opioids #Auspol

Over 80% of Australians aged 14+ believe possessing cannabis shouldn’t be a criminal offense. It’s time our laws reflected public opinion? #CannabisReform #Auspol

I know it’s easy to see the unrealised gains tax as unfair but it targets less than 1% of Australia and the policy reinforces the primary goal of superannuation: providing for retirement, not serving as a tax shelter for accumulating untaxed wealth. #Auspol

In a multipolar world, hedging bets isn’t cowardice, it’s wisdom. Australia wins when it trades freely, thinks independently, and defends on its own terms. #Auspol

A 3% of GDP defence spending should be MINIMUM and a no brainer. We dig up our resources, sell them to the world, and still can’t afford real military independence? Make the multinationals pay up. Build a defence force that answers to Australians — and no one else. #AusPol

#Macron slickly avoiding shaking the hand of #Trump was top tier French attitude and I love it.

If the Catholic Church wanted to be truly progressive they’d make the #conclave into a pay per view event. Maybe one of those slap fights the kids are all into these days #pope

Can’t wait for the #Americans to start the inevitable conspiracy theory that the #Pope is not really dead and that he faked his death to avoid tariffs on the Vatican and that JFK jr is going to reveal himself at the #conclave and be elected pope and anoint #Trump as eternal emperor of Earth

lol I dont want to ever hear a fucking thing from Americans anymore about how Australia is an "anti-democratic, dystopia" because parts of it overreacted to covid considering the current state of that dumpster fire
