#AusPol Major infrastructure projects funded by the Albanese & Allan govts hosted drug trafficking, corruption & bribery, bikie gangs & the sexual exploitation of women, at an estimated cost to the taxpayers of $15 billion, according to report into CFMEU corruption www.theage.com.au/national/rot...

Union corruption cost Victoria at least $15 billion: ‘Much of that had been “poured directly into the hands of criminals and organised crime gangs”’ www.theage.com.au/national/que...

Albanese govt-appointed official stripped politically explosive sections from corruption report, removing findings that Victoria’s Labor government turned blind eye to CFMEU graft & organised crime on infrastructure projects at a cost to taxpayers of $15 billion. www.theage.com.au/national/15b...

#AusPol The May budget will be this government’s fifth. The first couple were dominated by fixing some of the issues left by the previous administration – such as its failure to allocate money to defence veterans – while also building on its own agenda. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

I'm a big fan of intuition and my intuition is that AI is mostly a big mistake, especially in education. The whole point is the *thinking*. #EduSky

A free press is not a crime. Authoritarianism always starts by pretending it is.

Anyone else getting bombarded with ads for tourism in America while you're watching news footage of ICE shooting innocent people on YouTube? I don't think that's particularly effective targeted advertising

The sooner Australia disentangles itself from America the better. This guy has serious mental problems.

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

Israeli strikes have killed at least 26 Palestinians, one of the highest tolls since the ceasefire aimed at stopping the fighting in October last year.

Jesus famously proclaimed, "No one can serve two masters." As the country continues to reel from the shooting of Alex Pretti, Catholics are making it clear who they are choosing to serve. It isn't always Jesus, says digital editor John Grosso.

The Doomsday Clock — a model indicating how close humanity is to self-destruction through its own technologies — has edged to 85 seconds to midnight, its sponsoring organization announced Jan. 27.

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now. #AccountabilityIsComing

A pro-gun MP has aired several falsehoods about weapons, crime statistics and the circumstances of the Bondi attack as he opposed the government's gun reforms. https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/katters-bondi-attack-gun-crime-claims-dont-stack-up/

Close to 50 degrees today but oil and gas companies AND THE GOVERNMENT say move along, nothing to see here

These ‘badass women’ built Melbourne. It’s time we knew more about them. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

I see very little difference btwn Trump’s ICE and Hitler’s Brownshirts. America has tolerated two executions, mass deportations and disappearances so far which is meant to test the waters for outright death squads.

Imagine facing off against Angus Taylor, David LittleProud and Pauline Hanson at the next election. The dingbat patrol. Albanese is truly the luckiest politician around.

This week, Trump will bomb someone, impose a ridiculous tariff, make some crazy announcements - do anything he can to divert attention away from this outrage. He wants the public to move on and forget this as so many have done with his past crimes and transgressions. Don’t let him.

Great analysis from Zoe Daniel, a former ABC foreign correspondent. #AUKUS #GetAustraliaOutOfAUKUS #auspol #Auspol www.theguardian.com/us-news/comm...

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Wondering why the Trump Admin is bullying Minnesota? It’s about access to the states election role.

Politics Girl: Today is the tipping point.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

“ICE agents are failed pizza delivery boys, and this should be a matter of grave concern. Because it’s one thing to get olives instead of pepperoni in your order, and another to get shot in the face three times” open.substack.com/pub/georgets...

“Say his name!” “Alex Pretti!”

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

The Dems in Congress need to realize that we no longer have a functioning government. So they should not help fund any of it.

The ABC has named Craig Johnson of Launceston, whom we identified as the leader of the National Socialist Network in Tasmania. Johnson is also linked to the Southern Cross Hammerskins and Perth neo-Nazi murderer Robert Edhouse. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Today I learned “Norwegian Christian laws forbade citizens from conversing with and interacting with trolls, and in documents dating from 1274 to 1781, doing so would result in severe punishment” (source: Wikipedia), and I kinda think many people nowadays would be better off if this law was revived

One person killed and four more injured by the Russian attack on #Kyiv tonight. Buildings damaged. Heating and water outages in Kyiv.

Donald Fucking Trump has done more damage to America, to political alliances than any other president in history. For the love of all things beautiful in this world. Get rid of him. Please.

Australian politicians & war veterans have condemned #Trump’s denigration of the role played by foreign troops in Afghanistan as “utterly shameful” and “a profound insult”, comparing the hundreds of casualties with the president’s record of draft dodging. www.theage.com.au/national/pro...

Something is deeply wrong if we, as a society, cannot agree that an administration that snatches up children, uses them as bait to hunt down others, is morally repulsive.
