This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

David Pocock says it’s right to post the good news about Iranian women footballers, but asks how many in govt will post about their “heinous bill” seeking to block all other Iranians from entering Australia. Says we can do better than saying “We don’t give a stuff” 💥 #auspol

In today’s game of Make Millions With Market Manipulation: 1. Energy Secretary posts that a tanker has been safely escorted through Hormuz. 2. Oil price falls 10%, friends buy. 3. Energy Secretary deletes post. 4. Oil price rises 12%, friends richer. Thank you for playing, see you all tomorrow.

'US plans collide with reality' is an amazing summary of the second Trump era.

"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said." When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine." www.wsj.com/finance/u-s-...

There is no gas shortage in Australia. The problem is Aust governments let a handful of mostly foreign owned gas companies export over 80% of our gas. Gas exporters throttle supply to raise prices. Govt incapable of managing our resources for our benefit. #WhatisthepointofLabor #Auspol

We didn’t vote for this either www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Against a backdrop of huge Defence acquisition failures, but more money being allocated to Defence spending, the Labor controlled Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit has resolved that the Auditor-General is to stop auditing Defence’s major projects.🤦‍♂️ #auspol

The govt is making a big deal about giving temporary humanitarian visas to a small number of female Iranian ⚽️ players. At the same time, the XBENCH is trying to block the govt passing legislation to enable it to suspend the temporary visas to 🇦🇺 already held by 7000+ Iranians outside this country.

"The government might be wishing Australia taxed its LNG exports as much as the royalties on iron ore, and better still, coal. "LNG prices are soaring, but we only get 2% of that on top of the company tax, compared with 7% for iron ore and 13% for coal." 👏👏👏 @alankohler.bsky.social #auspol

The two things immediately dangerous to the Australian way of life are Israel and the USA. You have to wonder if the penny will ever drop, I'm not holding my breath.

This morning the Labor Government couldn’t even bring themselves to support a motion that condemns Islamophobia and calls for action. Instead, they shut down debate while whitesplaining a Muslim woman and attacking the Greens.

After watching this I checked whether "collective self-defence" exists in international law. It does & is defined. However, apparently, it must be "a last resort & proportionate". I query whether Australia's assistance qualifies as "last resort" for the UAE, as opposed to acquiescence to USA #Auspol

‘People of Australia, start having unprotected sex & let whatever happens happen’ is an unusual starting point for any politician at a new stage of the or career. Unless that politician is the leader of the Nationals. In which case all bets are off it seems. #auspol

Here is a candidate to back.

So did the Australian Foreign Minister mislead parliament? She said the submarine was under imminent attack. Or was she lied to by an ally?

UAE defence budget 2025 $25 billion, Saudi Arabia $78 billion. Why do they need a lone Australian surveillance plane and air to air missiles? What have they been spending that huge annual budget on, yet don't have something that basic? Or is it a ploy to enmesh AU in their war? #auspol
