Albanese has form. As well as the #FOI insult, his govt has done nothing on promised #whistleblower reforms, and the #NACC is knackered. Several parliamentary inquiry reports [eg on gambling advertising] have been ignored, and others [like #AUKUS] have been set up to *avoid* scrutiny. #auspol

Give not a millimeter to Russia. Not a single grain of Ukrainian soil.

Unregulated e-bikes are a growing danger on American streets. In one Bay Area town, a terrible accident finally led to reform. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/m...

Don't you think the public has a reasonable expectation that the Commissioner of the NACC being paid well above $800,000 would consider this a full time job and not also seek to freelance outside of it?

"Do you think [journalisms] got harder because of the political climate?" Alex Crawford: "I think undoubtedly its got much harder because as we've seen.. in Gaza, its a very prime example of how journalism is being smashed to bits by leaders around the world"

We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work. “Son-in-law” is not a government job. Kushner does not represent us.

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days. Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend. Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

😄

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality. It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

Translation: “Despite their health risks, the government is giving free rein to ultra-processed foods. Research shows that their consumption is linked to an increased risk of developing chronic diseases: obesity, type 2 diabetes... Read the article ➡️ l.reporterre.net/XE1 Health’s a global issue.

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better. kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/25/t...

"I'm sure there will be a lot of folks who throw their hat into the ring. But that's good," the Minnesota leader and former vice presidential nominee added.

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”

Opening the door to throw Hegseth under the bus:

My office receives so many complaints about public housing properties in the ACT, especially when it comes to repairs and maintenance. This isn't good enough & wastes funding provided jointly by the Commonwealth. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/909528...

Fossil fool's errand. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social

This sets out the clear, bullet-point agreed plan that, if funded by Australian governments, would stop most ongoing family violence & make women & children way safer. Governments choose not to, while spending $60m on PNG men's rugby, $96m on crap BOMsite, millions on dicky consultants, etc.

I reckon we should require these senior executives to reveal what they spent their bonuses on, or where they have squirrelled it away because they don't even need it.

This was the very first cartoon I did for @theageaustralia.bsky.social , back in 2021. The coalition's leaders may have changed but everything else has stayed the same.

Crazy!

Donald Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs. Instead, their reckless agenda made Thanksgiving dinner 10% more expensive than last year. It’s shameful that Trump is building his fancy ballroom while working families struggle to afford a basic meal during the holidays.

And a meme is born. Thank you.

The US isn't at war, so they weren't war crimes; they were murders. The US still has the death penalty for murder, right?

Kaine: "We had to pry with a crowbar after weeks and weeks out of the administration the supposed rationale for the strikes in international waters. It was very shoddy. It was not at all persuasive that these are legal actions ... It's time for Congress to rein in the president."

#GVerse The man who shoot those two West Virginia National Guard in DC was working with the CIA. He was vetted by #Shit4Brain's administration. #Shitface is lying about everything.

Some in the Democratic Party want to you think we must choose between social justice and economic populism. Rubbish. The only path forward is embracing both.

GOP Rep SLAMS his own party "crooked as a dog's leg"

Klobuchar: "What the president has done is taken a horrific crime that occurred in DC and went 2,400 miles away to Somali & somehow indicted an entire group of people, 80k of them in my state, as well as all naturalized citizens. This is what he does. He tries to make people hate each other."

For Millie: 🎂 Mabel & I are celebrating her becoming a teenager now that she's just turned 13. It's a small, intimate affair with plenty of belly rubs, cuddling & extra doggie treats all around! 🐕 ❤️ #Woof

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

The gov should run child care, disability services and aged care to have a chance of stamping out corruption.

I will never get over the fact that Kamala Harris isn’t the President right now. 😥

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire? Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.
