I’m sure it’s just coincidence there is more than one of these cops with a similar mo to a Mr Sewell

Only time the police will defend a guy on a bike is when he is wearing the right uniform.

Honestly the way I died inside when I saw this:

Wow, today I learned the media think Jewish Australians have a separate head of state. That sounds like some sort of harmful stereotype in the making.

Vale to a supreme shitstirrer - lost my dad to glioblastoma last year so a hearty fuck all cancer but fuck that cancer in particular

There are only two cartoonists who have made me cry with their work and Jon was one of them.

Difficult to see that last line as anything other than a comment aimed at Sussan Ley, who won her seat in 2001 against the Nationals.

No Meaning

Your average political class person sees the rise of the One Nation vote and goes "it must be about the racism and culture wars". Most of the voters go there because they heard Hanson go "everything is bullshit" They are two very different things. And it's why so many of you sound barking mad

March for Australia organisers finally realise it’s not worth hanging around with Australia’s stupidest people to only get 2000 people to show up.

Haha they must be spewing with such a low turnout.

Oh, I dunno...

Noting today’s apology in the SMH, I feel it important to say that I stand with @cathywilcox.bsky.social & @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social #auspol Australian’s should be governed by Australian not foreign interests. All, irrespective of faith, have a right to free speech & protection from hate speech.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

How is this a rude shock? It’s an unambiguously good news story for Australia, one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

The trick is to make people believe fossil fuels are cheaper or better for the economy. Which they aren’t.

"Because they're sociopaths" is the Occam's Razor of politics

It would be good if we pursued both energy efficiency and increased generation: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Bartiromo: "We are waiting any moment now to get the jobs number for the month of June. The expectations call for the numbers to be up 95,000. Right now seeing the number -- actually, uh, showing a decline in jobs, uh, down 33,000, uh."

Stuart Littlemore had their measure 24 years ago. The schtick is the same now as it was then. youtu.be/qZ_Kbiwl2ok?...

@dontattempt.bsky.social ICYMI

god damn he's cooking

Revolution Naan

Look at this thing! It's just straight-up gaslighting!!

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

I remember seeing Kelly O'Dwyer debut on that as a new MP and thought her answers to questions were considered and intelligent. By her next appearance she had been Clockwork Orange-conditioned to regurgitate the party line at the mention of key words. She was never interesting again.

Why is the cricket on Amazon Prime, the only streaming service which replicates the video quality of the early 2000’s.

Great reminder for the US people heading to the #NoKingsDay events.

My fav AI yarn I reckon - there was no AI, just 700 odd coders in India who pretended to be bots.

Covering the Coalition what now? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

This frustrating article tells about 40% of the story. Yes synthetic fuels are promising for the liquid fuels we can’t replace. No we shouldn’t try to replace today’s consumption with synthetic fuels. That would be mad. Shows how important EVs and modal shift are. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Here’s what you’re fighting for, boys

There are some pretty horrendous signs left by CFA protesters at #springst

ScoMo sneaks back in through the side door.

Ok, there are a lot of false assertions just left to hang in this article. There is no reason to think renewables are a threat to energy security, or more expensive than thermal generation. Astounding baseless unchallenged assertions. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

This is such a funny article to write. The cardinals aren’t sitting around reading Bloomberg for tips on democracy.

Actually pretty funny how the net result of the coalition’s suburban seat strategy might be returning Tim Wilson and destroying the greens in the house.

Idk if I was labor I would give myself a 3 month long holiday as a little treat.

A lot of ‘5 things labor has to do with its massive majority which I watched happen from the sidelines’ articles today.

This is a classic coalition budget. Deficits for the next few years but it all gets better beyond the forward estimates because the entire funding for the national archives suddenly expires.

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

Very nice indeed to see colleagues coming around to some of the broad points in #TheDawnOfEverything - even if the methods used are questionable. (House size = inequality is a pretty flimsy argument, as I explain here: www.stone-econ.org/news-and-blo...)

Disgraceful watching the comments on welcome to country on 7 just now.

Well this was very stupid and pointless. #7leadersdebate

Dutton proposing citizenship after 6 days of being here? #auspol

Now Dutton is accusing families of getting smashed. If only we could afford to get on the beers. #auspol
