John Lyons: “The presence next to these 2 of leader of one of the Arab nations-Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Egypt-would have given the proposal much-needed credibility in the Arab world. Instead of being a peace deal, in my assessment, this is more of a hostage deal.” johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

Homophobe Snoop Dogg being allowed to perform at the #aflfinals tells you everything about the AFL that suspends a player every other week for a gay slur. Performance was a big flop. thepinknews.com/2025/08/27/s... #AFLCatsLions

Sarah Kendzior talks about how in trump world gov leaders are "cast" as part of the show rather than chosen for expertise. Here a Shakespeare quoting soldier is a carefully sculpted fighter in the war to protect the poor maligned western civilisation that Abbott kept bleating about

"To be fair, there is provision for a person to apply for a fee reduction because they cannot afford it. But the form to apply for hardship consideration is 17 pages long. It is clearly designed so that our most fragile citizens are not capable of completing it."

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Trump: “There's a rumor & I don't know if it's so or not—that Cuba, they don't have tylenol because they don't have the money for tylenol, and they have virtually no autism” Cuba had an autism rate of 83.30 per 10,000 children in 2023. The US rate was 80.90, the same data shows."

Who the hell runs Australia? I did RATHER hope it was our own Govt! I think the LNP are trying to get US money for an unofficial election misinfo campaign.

Matt Thistlethwaite has given Sussan Ley a thrashing on #Abc for writing a letter to US Republicans promising to bow to their demands on recognition of Palestine saying Ley is clearly “warding off the RW hawks in her party” while undermining the govt. Says it’s a “disgrace”🔥

The Trump-Albanese non-meeting is a classic case of media demanding it happen purely because the media think it matters. Not one journo covering the US visit could explain what good they would expect to come of the meeting. But they just assume it must be done.

The hypocrisy of the grift is endless.

Sen. Tim Kaine: "Brian Kilmeade 10 days ago suggested that homeless, mentally ill people should be lethally injected. He apologized...He didn't get pulled off the air."

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

When the centre allows itself to be used by the tech/Right Abundance movement to say “strip regulations, speed up building”, this is what happens. We can’t expect the money to do the right thing unless we coerce it. #auspol open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

Terrifies me. The hypocrisy is next level. We cannot let it happen here bsky.app/profile/lucy...

@thenewdaily.bsky.social What the heck is wrong with your reporting? Why this ridiculous headline in my inbox, and nil mention of the members of the UN?

Recognition is a step forward - for peace, security and prosperity.

The Australian media reporting on 25 members of US congress decrying Australian support for an independent state of Palestine fail to mention the important context that there are 535 Members of US Congress.

Eat the rich. Or tax them fairly. Choose.

The Yank influence seeping into our political system for all to see. We have Australian members of parliament Lionising a deceased American RW Conservative MAGA influencer.

they install creepo features into every means of digital communication and all the digital knowledge repositories. Marilyn French and others identified decades ago that patriarchy treats women, children and nature as means to its ends where power is an end in itself. All data extraction is that.

The media obsession with them meeting is something else. Like they forget Trump is a fascist pedophile rapist destroying democracy in real time. #auspol #insiders #SundayShot

As most of my followers know, I'm not a fan of so-called AI. After 40 years in IT, I know what can go wrong. Here's a very good example of why not. 'We should kill him': AI chatbot encourages Australian man to murder his father

Absolute miscarriage of justice. I am glad the prosecuters are appealing- however, sadly, I will be surprised if he is given a custodial sentence.

Yep

I feel like being violently ill. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/crime-n...

Well that is one way to increase profits. The other take is that the disability insurance and workplace safety penalties are insufficient.

It’s time we held that Murdoch/Media Royal Commission that more than 500,000 people petitioned for. #auspol

YES...this

What a gross miscarriage of justice. I'm glad the prosecution are appealing. Incredibly distressing for family and community. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

62% of Australians say cost of living is their top issue a near-unheard-of consensus in politics. The Liberal Party’s reply? That you’re selfish. That you expect “free everything.” What even is that? Medicare? TAFE? Housing? All poll above 70%. They have no case #auspol

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Sussan Ley refuses to recommit her party to the Pais Agreement. Doesn’t even want to talk about it, says she’ll leave it “to others” & that she isn’t even interested in “what happens in the UN meeting in a couple of weeks” She should be interested if she wants to be PM some day.

Waleed extremely badly verballing what Kimmel said. Kimmell did not say the shooter was of “the MAGA gang”. He said “the MAGA gang are desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Chalier Kirk as anything other than one of them"

It should not be possible to be this wrong

If you are American and not this angry, outraged, gutted, you are (a) not paying attention or (b) a moral vacuum.

Upside-down and back-to-front.

Given this is making some waves - here is the piece and you can judge for yourself. (I'm fine, there are no issues - right wing ecosystem just doing what right wing ecosystem does). Take care of you - it's rough out there! Ax amyremeikis.substack.com/p/charlie-ki...

"Upper middle class people could pay their share of tax. Agree to pay a little more. Stop their bosses from avoiding almost all tax in corporate situations or life:

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.
