So....... ....Two thoughts from early morning RN Breakfast. 1. Trymp has lost it, dangerously so. 2. Bob Carr is still sharp as a tack. (And completely wiped the floor with Mike Huckabee.) (If you missed them, we'll worth a catch up. Especially Bob's.) #auspol #uspol

Dear Americans, I accept you brought this on yourselves. Unfortunately it has also impacted the rest of us. Have you got any concrete plans to fix the problem? Yours sincerely, the rest of the world.

Pure genius. 👇👇👇

Vaccines don’t cause autism. Tylenol (acetaminophen) doesn’t cause autism. Miniscule trace pesticide residues don’t cause autism. Aluminum doesn’t cause autism. Fluoride doesn’t cause autism. The biggest predictor of autism? Genetics. And we recognize autism better today. 1/

Facts don’t lie: Autism was identified decades before Tylenol even existed. Enough with the distractions—it's time for real accountability. RELEASE the Epstein files. ✊ #BlueCrew #ReleaseTheFiles #TruthMatters

So..... ...Sussan Ley, in breaking with convention is not just siding with America... ....She is siding with Trump's America and the GOP. #auspol #uspol

That took several months but at least it happened

Desirable alternate headline: Albanese declines Trump meeting, stands by independent position

🤬

The White House may call it deregulation, but in reality, it's replacing written rules with unwritten rules. (Rule 1: "Don't upset the President.") It's swapping transparent, tested rules for secret, shifting ones. One set serves the public interest, the other reflects the President's whims.

It's not just Ukraine. This is existential for Europe! #auspol #uspol #Ukraine 👇👇👇

It's never been a war. It's so so asymmetric it's off the Richter Scale of Proportionality. 👇👇👇👇 #auspol

#auspol Someone please tell me why on Earth our Aussie PM would WANT to meet with convicted felon Trump? Why???

Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal — paid over $1,000/day by us costing over $1 million a year — is a top executive of a pro-Israel lobby group. #auspol Are we paying someone who is advancing !sraeli interests over ours @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social theklaxon.com.au/jillian-sega...

The sort of company that appoints a "seriously corrupt" politician is the sort of company that will have rolling disasters and mass governance and ethical failures. Pretty simple. (ICYMI:) theklaxon.com.au/optus-boss-r...

The US Republicans letter to Albanese et al re: Palestinian recognition.....final paragraph threatens possible undisclosed punitive measures.

Ukrainian firm Realgold makes 10,000 FPV drone engines a month—but pays full VAT while Chinese imports don’t. It says it could scale to 100,000 without extra investment—if the law wasn’t rigged against it. euromaidanpress.com/2025/09/21/u...

As I said in an earlier post this very morning. With friends like these.......!!! “Proceeding with recognition will put your country at odds with longstanding U.S. policy and interests and may invite punitive measures in response.” #auspol #uspol #FiveEyes www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

With friends like these.....? Only a pause atm but...? the uncertainty caused... and an opening for China to leverage? #auspol #uspol #FiveEyes #ukpol #cdnpol #nzpol www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So.... ....Re Quintessential. The Americans, yes always, 'The Americans', ruin everything they touch. Today it's Q, (and my streak!) with their bloody spelling!

One factional warlord condemns other factional warlords. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A colleague made an inspiring point earlier today: The work of social scientists may never be more important. Whatever the current administration destroys doesn't just provide a chance to rebuild, but a blank slate to build something better. There's a lot of important work to do.

Beautiful.

youtu.be/Tsb1I7hqaJ4 The Fascist Authoritarian Regime of Trump, will continue to get Worse, if We don’t Fight Back!!! Congress Do your Damn Job!! #ImpeachAndRemoveTrump

Oh, and here's a good question. What has remained in Belarus after the Zapad-2025 military exercises? Have all the troops been removed? What about infrastructure? Is there anyone who follows up on those issues? Thank you!

A safe climate needs a minimum of 75% target. This sets Australians on the more dangerous risk trajectory of climate impacts, identified in the government’s very own risk assessment released earlier this week.

PSA for those uncritically repeating Trump's rhetoric without context: There is no such "organisation" as "Antifa". It doesn't exist. It's a concept, like being a feminist or being a pacifist. It's a way of thinking, it's not an entity. It's like saying you've banned the fricking Tooth Fairy.

“If another country did this, say Russia bombing a fishing boat in Baltic, or China attacking smugglers near Taiwan, Western media would have declared it war crime. Add this to list of Western double standards in international arena—we are seeing the destruction of the “liberal order” in real time.”

Oh Wow! So much for the Pacific family. #auspol #nzpol
