Those who gloat over the assassination of a person whose views they disagree with are not on the side of the angels.

The other point to be made is China reforresting a desert the size of Ireland and growing as they revegetate roadways accross deserts conecting to europe. That amount of trees on maturity which is about 8 year creates a huge amount of carbon sink

The most disheartening thing about America’s descent into fascism has been the abject cowardice of virtually all the people and institutions that could have stood up and refused to comply.

Firing the prosecutor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t make the problem go away. It intensifies awareness of a coverup.

1. The impacts of predatory capital - impossible rents, failing public services, rising costs of living - are being blamed across the billionaire press on immigrants and Black and Brown people. It's so crude, so obvious, so familiar .... but if you tell the lie often enough, people believe it. 🧵

As good an answer as any I’ve heard. #Fascism

“The soft power suicide of the U.S. will be incomprehensible to future historians who will be dumbfounded in their attempts to explain why the global leader voluntarily wrecked one of its greatest national assets...” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/b...

The Jewish Council of Australia condemns Foreign Minister Penny Wong's endorsement of the U.S. military strike on Iranian nuclear targets - an illegal act of aggression that threatens to escalate a dangerous regional conflict and lead to more death and suffering. #Auspol #Genocide #NoWars

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

Let’s just take a moment, as the Australian people, to thank our own good judgment amidst the Trumpian madness that we did NOT elect Peter Dutton and therefore sign ourselves up to whatever infernal imperialist bullshit that America might get up to in Iran. I love this for us. We rock. #auspol

The OA now has no meaning

Russians lost strategic aircrafts and thought “ha! Let’s hit some residential buildings and a subway station”

Revealed today: NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton has attended 18 formal Defence functions as Major General since July 2023 - all while supposedly independently investigating Defence corruption. He even asked the Chief of Army for a favour to keep his rank. Conflict of interest?

Apt

🇺🇦 Zelensky at Ramstein meeting: The Russian army has reduced our cities and villages in Donetsk and beyond to ruins. And that is what we are fighting to stop. We are fighting against death – the death that Russia is bringing to our land.

I sure hope there is video for this... gotta be hilarious!!!!!

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

Our grifter-in-chief got his shady benefactors to pump nearly $150 million into his worthless meme coin. Now he’s hosting them for a fancy country club dinner. Meanwhile, moms are getting ready to lose healthcare and kids will have less food in the fridge. What a disgrace.

The GOP's "America." #uspoli

What makes you think they intend to have legit elections in the future? The clue is in their lack of concern about their constituents opinions, surely?

I’m guessing Murdoch will shift his support to the Nationals while relentlessly attacking the Liberals to attempt to dislodge Ley after which Good job Angus can take over and they can all make up. #auspol

“The United Nations special rapporteur on torture has urged Queensland’s parliament to vote down the government’s headline youth crime legislation, calling it “incompatible with basic child rights”.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Wrote about this being a strong possibility and yup - the Nationals have had a massive dummy spit and broken up the Coalition. Marching both parties even closer to obscurity. Absolutely amazing.

Littleproud: “our enemy is the Labor party”. Zero recognition in his words and attitude that an Opposition holds the Government to account on behalf of the entire electorate - it is not “at war” with the Govt. #auspol #NOalitionNoMore

Andrew Leigh says Australia one generation from ‘US-style inequality’ This is why the recent election was so important The LNP would have pushed us into a USA style economy The rich get richer The less wealthy starve!

Israel bombed Gaza’s last cancer & cardiac hospital, then released a video claiming Hamas tunnels were below it. Now they admit the footage was from somewhere else. The hospital is shut, and innocent people died. #Gaza #WarCrimes #auspol #Genocide

‘Sky News Andrew Bolt claims Albanese govt won the fed election on lies and bribes’ Bolt is gaslighting the numpties. & redirecting the “lies & bribes” mantra takes focus off the absolute reality of the lies, misinformation & likely bribery of the coalition This is NOT journalism. It’s fanaticism

I think for many; last night felt like a moral victory after the pain of the voice referendum. It was so easy to fear Australia had lost its way; lost its kindness. It certainly felt that way for so many of my family & friends. It feels safer today. Thank you Australia.

So, have I got this right? Labor has so much talent they’re fighting over who gets cabinet positions, where the Liberals have so little they don’t even have enough for a decent leadership contest? Wow, quite the insight.

As we at MFW have said many times before, never interrupt your enemy while they are making a big, big big fucking mistake … #Shhhhhhh #FantasticWellDoneAngus

Well, good work Donald. I think you can finally take credit for something positive. Social progressives elected in Canada, Australia AND the Vatican. 👍👍 #auspol

All three front runners for ‘Liberal’ leader are destructive thugs. If one of them is selected nothing will change for the party except oblivion at the next election.

Fantastic summary. I can't believe how light & happy I feel today🤸I had no idea just how badly the coverage & behaviour of the lnp has affected me.Seriously, I just feel free from the nastiness & negativity. It's a miracle💃🙏🏾

The Dutton opposition's failed to do the hard work. It might be that it's incapable. It might be that it has grown accustomed to having policy handed to it by vested interests. It has elevated nasty politics to an art form. It has coasted on the uncritical backing of the powerful right-wing media.

Politics has served the Dutton family well. May its grifting come an end May 3, 2025. Vote 1 Ali France. #Auspol

Bring out the violins & unicorns ‘Kirilly Dutton: Peter is ‘attuned’ to the views & values of ‘everyday’ Australians Kirilly also frames him as a “listener” If Dutton were “attuned & listening” to ALL of us- he would NOT resort to foghorning culture wars, racism & division for political advantage

People are being asked to vote for the Coalition on the grounds that it is better at managing the economy. But the current evidence does not back up that claim. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/04....

Looks like the anti-Trump candidate has smashed it in Canada. More bad news for Dutton, who’d go full-Trump here, starting with sacking 40,000 public servants in Canberra.

'Have you noticed that things are getting a little Trumpian in Australia?' Damon Gameau looks at Atlas and Advance #auspol > youtu.be/ecqDvx9HMhs?... Let's share this - a lot!!! 🙌 🙌

“We're about to hit a level of scarcity at retailers nationwide that will make covid seem like child's play.”

Laura Tingle on Dutton's Welcome to Country weaponisation following neo-Nazis Anzac Day attack. Dutton "attacked funding for Welcome to Country...walked out on the Apology to the Stolen Generations in 2008 & said he wouldn't be standing in front of the Indigenous flag...as prime minister." #auspol
