Beyond fabulous ! The New York Times has got the whole inside story of the Murdoch family war. The secret court documents. The feuds, the hates, the fears. It’s a ripper. The miserable old prick apparently sees his wretched sewer of a company as the guardian of western civilisation…😁😁😊😂

How the Murdoch Shitigraph tried to whip up social hatred and division, only to have it blow up in their faces. What a disgusting stunt, but typical Murdoch shit.

So, Daily Telegraph just happened to be on the spot at the exact moment of the incident with their equipment handy. And then they drove off in the same car as the person who unsuccessfully tried to provoke an incident. Sounds legit! independentaustralia.net/business/bus...

My wife yelled from upstairs and asked: "Do you ever get a shooting pain across your body, like someone's got a voodoo doll of you and they're stabbing it?" I replied: "No." She responded: "How about now?"

Imagine having battled Russia’s brutal invasion for three years and then hear your biggest ally say it will talk to your enemy about you surrendering territory and not getting NATO security guarantee. This is Trump rewarding Russian aggression. apnews.com/article/nato...

Watching #4Corners' report on Ukraine's use of drones to defend itself against Russia's invasion, I'm wondering: why is Australia in #AUKUS? Why is the AUS Govt giving the USA $780m this year for submarines to be delivered (possibly) in a few years' time?! #auspol #AusVotes2025 #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

I don't understand threat of USA imposing tariffs on steel and aluminium products directly affecting trade with Australia, an ally. USA is, I believe, in trade surplus with Australia. Maybe a reason for Australia to abandon AUKUS.

So last night i accidentally hit a curb and blew out my tire. I was worried because there wasn’t anyone to call to help where I was. A group of teenagers walked over and changed my tire. There is still some good out there. 🥰

The idea of a Gina Rinehart Govt in Australia — sorry, typo: a Dutton Coalition Govt — terrifies me. Perhaps their campaign slogan will be "What's yours is mine." 😏 #auspol #AusVotes2025 #AussieOligarchy
