"At a time when a modicum of political leadership was required ... Albanese showed himself to be anything but a leader representing Labor values, but rather a follower of the likes of Morrison and Hanson." My take on Albanese & Whitlam. michaelwest.com.au/can-anthony-...

If the Commanders do name the new stadium after Trump, they should rename the team the Orangeskins.

#auspol Whitlam saw himself painting on a big canvas. Each brush stroke was bold and no stroke seemed too big a risk to take. The contrast with the Albanese Government to the Whitlam Government 50 years earlier could hardly be more glaring michaelwest.com.au/can-anthony-...

House prices have to fall if you seriously want more people to be able to afford them. Agree with Andrew Bragg. And the people who have used the 5% deposit guarantee aren’t the only ones affecting prices - it’s the investors who rush in to catch a property before the rush. #insiders

John Laws was an absolute grifter and chancer but there's a moment here where Leigh Sales realises that she's totally been had which is worth seeing.

This is a scorching article on the absolute state of The New York Times, and much of the rest of the media. Not just the billionaire media, note, but also the billionaire-*compliant* media, which both-sides every issue with purchased junktank talking points. lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

#60mins reporting via a whistleblower that a bikie linked security gang has partnered with our own Australian Federal Police to manage refugees on Nauru. Wild. Tragic. Outrageous. Corruption. This is a genuine scandal. #60minutes #nauru #albanese

People are exhausted. A few years ago, this would have been obvious it was fake, either meant as satire or just plain outrage fuel. Now, we're hit many times a day with real atrocities. Eventually, everything can seem plausible, no matter how extreme. Signs of the times.

Australia is being further militarised on behalf of the US government. Never mind our sovereignty, environment or safety. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Very disturbing indeed. The Australian Christmas Island Red Crab Army are about to be wiped out by Trump’s War Dept. The swarm is getting louder as the occupation gathers pace. #auspol.

We live in an era when feelings outweigh facts. Our emotions our being deliberately manipulated by algorithms to hijack logic & shape behaviour on a massive scale. The people behind this have a psychopathic desire for power. They are not our friends.

Just a query @albomp.bsky.social @tonyburkemp.bsky.social …are taxpayers still bankrolling your populist appointment to the role of ‘antisemitism envoy’ $400,000 ++ per annum…to gaslight and project? Seems, since ‘link’ to Advance made public, said envoy has been very, very quiet #auspol #auspol

"It was not an accident." Retired U.S. Colonel Steve Gabavics investigated the killing of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh and says the final report was watered down by the Biden administration to avoid blaming an Israeli soldier for intentionally killing her.

This is the issue. When politicians jettison facts & evidence because it does not fit with their world view, they have lost any right to lead.

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?
