Melbourne, Australia. Definitely on the left side of politics, social justice and the environment. I devour (and pay for) lots of media except for those owned by the Murdoch dynasty. Religion of any kind is not my thing.

Wow The Age fanboying Dutton much? The 2 main headlines on website right now: "Dutton leads, Labor on course for election defeat according to shock poll" & "Dutton blunts Mediscare campaign by matching Labor's $8.5b for free GPs". Confirming exactly where Nine stands, Costello or no Costello.

I'm thinking Peter Dutton wouldn't be putting too much emphasis on this: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“God bless Sky News,” the former prime minister John Howard said at Sky News Australia’s antisemitism summit on Thursday, at which he was the first speaker. If that man had any credibility at all (he hasn't) it would be entirely demolished by those 4 words.

Tony Abbott today called net zero a "compete and utter disgrace" The truth is, the LNP doesn't really believe in net zero and has zero plans to get there. Climate deniers and delayers are calling the shots in the LNP.

Australian journalism focuses almost entirely on political drama rather than political information. Journalists talk about public perception, but that's the only information they present to the public. Journalists are not doing their jobs and it damages our democracy.

Serious question for my followers. What’s your priority for the upcoming federal election? Railing against the two party system, or stopping Dutton becoming PM? And if your answer is “both”, you’re not being realistic about what it will take to stop Dutton becoming PM.

Remember back in the last century when Barry Jones had a plan for us to be a clever country and we were all too lazy/stupid to even attempt to understand it, especially the chart? Now that was a sliding doors moment.

The anti-Labor campaign in Victoria has been going on in MSM for months (the Libs' PR people working damned hard & it's working) so the Sunday Age describes the Labor government as being in a death spiral, this time because the police chief commissioner might not get re-appointed.

Here comes increased instability. And our pernicious, class based school system is a big part of this locking out of the poor. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

SBS News reporter pronounces aluminium as aluminum and project as proj-ect (as do almost all under 40's). Our govt is spending millions on getting NFL and NBA games played here. USA cultural imperialism has almost completely conquered us.

In an unsurpising move Trump has just announced a 25% tariff on iron and steel, including from Australia. Proving, as we all knew, that AUKUS is not worth the paper it's written on and certainly not worth the obscene billions being wasted on it by Australia.

There are a lot of things that piss me off about the Americanisation of our culture but I think that pronounce ‘tu’ words (such as tuna) like ‘too’ instead of ‘choo’ is one of the worst. Do not serve me a fucking toonah melt you pseudo seppo

Check the smirk on the war criminal Netanyahu. He can hardly believe his luck. The lunatic in the White House has given him all he ever wanted and more.

So let me get this straight. Trump goes bully-boy on both Canada & Mexico knowing that (a) it's a distraction from his evisceration of ethical govt; (b) they'll fold, or there'll be an "agreement" within days so then he can claim victory. And lo it came to pass. Because it always works for him.

You may think this is an unfair generalisation but it's likely that many of these viewers are more invested in this mindless show than in the obvious effects of climate change or the spectre of a divisive and incompetent LNP government. tvtonight.com.au/2025/02/mafs...

There is one, and ONLY ONE, reason for doomscrolling here to see Trump's latest outrage. And that's to make sure it doesn't happen here. As P.Keating said of Dutton: “a charlatan”, “wicked and cynical” and “an inveterate climate change denialist”.

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.

The first question on this #HouseofGames UK TV quiz is, ‘What & where is the capital of Australia?’. Gasp-worthy responses. We’re really nailing it as a funny little colony of a foreign monarchy which couldn’t be less interested … youtube.com/watch?v=I9Mo...
