When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

How Trump’s oil betrayals, #tariff tantrums, and #Venezuela fantasy taught the world to hedge the U.S. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

The fix is in, folks. Maybe they could teach us how to murder 380,000 children under the age of five in a two year period as well?

As it so often happens, Bernie has the right of it. #auspol

The ABC is at it again,announcing high profile major businesses who are screeching for a RC into the Bondi tragedy. It's shocking bullying supported by political backers. Where's the reporting of the Jewish Council of Australia,representing over 100 high profile lawyers,academics,etc rejecting a RC

#Epstein didn’t get rich by accident. He was built, funded, protected. And now, as survivors are gone and the #MAGA machine melts down, the cover-up is cracking. Trump’s name is in the files. #Congress is demanding answers. The firewall is breaking. open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump is saving himself #TrumpFirst & #AmericaFirst In power for as long as he wants to lie about new threats. Same with #Netanyahu saving himself from jail under 'emergency measures'. Their limitless egotistical influence & literal 'get out of jail free' card. No opposition. None. #NoKings

The IEA, the dark money pressure group that inspired Truss’ mini budget, is (finally) under investigation by the Charity Commission

BBC & Guardian UK hold secret meetings with IDF. Is it the same here #ABCNews Israeli 'Kohavi’s private meetings under scrutiny amid widespread public anger over the British media’s coverage of Israel’s genocide in Gaza'. More by @owenjones.bsky.social www.declassifieduk.org/bbc-guardian...

The slaughter is accelerating, Israel's genocidal meat machine is going berserk and Western leaders describe Israel's behaviour as "possibly in breach of International Law". Possibly? Possibly? Instead of cutting off all ties with Netanyahu they rap him with a warm lettuce...

What a filthy business Murdoch media indulges in. Absolutely no substance to link Harry's name whatsoever. But the abuse never stops. While sadly it just adds clicks to their vast empire built on lies, it has to stop. #MurdochGutterMedia www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

“Professor Genevieve Bell, vice-chancellor ANU, for 17 days when emailed management consulting firm Nous. New documents $3 million gig aimed at cutting costs amid a financial crisis many within the university feel has been overstated”. Rick Morton: www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/20716/....

Under #ACNC rules, a registered charity is not allowed to engage in activity "promoting or opposing a political party or a candidate". This is a flagrant violation by the PBCC on behalf of the #LNP and a shocking breach of trust by a major political party. #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

When Labor took over, the annual inflation rate stood at 5.1%. By the end of 2022, it had peaked at 7.8%. But 15 months later — it was down to 3.6%. And now it’s back in the 2% to 3% target range. #auspol #RBA

An*us Taylor is undoubtedly the one who offered Jacinta Price the Lib grifting carrot. It’s likely to be a quality Lib minister’s gig or even deputy leader. This is NOT going to go down well with other Libs & many Nats & it will tear the coalition apart Labor will b in govt for the next 10 years.

Laura Tingle & Niki Savva, LNL savaging Lib campaign, #Dutton's lack of policies & ability. Interesting take on his failing confidence to deliver, so obvious in his quaking body language. language.https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/latenightlive/election-result-laura-tingle-niki-savva/105254494

PM Albanese fries Dutton over his disastrous campaign saying he can’t keep a pos for 3days & wants “the leftovers of the Morrison govt to somehow go through 3yrs” On curriculum,”they had 3 positions in 1 day!” “They wrote the curriculum by the way, it’s their curriculum!”🔥 youtu.be/zW9ih-6pmCE?...

Dutton ran ‘too many red lights’ The Trump effect has cruelled Peter Dutton’s campaign Nothing else – no other single factor – can explain such a dramatic collapse in support in just a few short weeks /he has only himself to blame. #DodgyDutton #ausvotes www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Peter Dutton: “I’m not a scientist.” Zoe Daniel: “Neither am I. That’s why I listen to them.” When experts warn us about climate change, real leaders act—not hide. Vote 1 Zoe Daniel. Because denial isn’t leadership. #ClimateAction #VoteIndependent #GoldsteinVotes

This might be the most outspoken informative talk making absolute sense for where the world is going in reaction to Trump & his wrecking of the world economy. Nothing matters now, even if Trump rescinds every tariff or decision. Well worth 10 minutes of anyone's time. bsky.app/profile/rich...

The LNP... Fuck me. They’re not a party, they’re a crime scene with a marketing budget. Their housing policy is: “Have you tried being born rich?” Their climate plan is: “She’ll be right if we just pray harder and frack the Northern Territory.” #auspol #putLNPlast

We see the politics and policies of the US and want to reject them, Peter Dutton wants to replicate them. Labor has an Australian plan to strengthen our economy in uncertain times. The Coalition wants to Make Wages Lower Again; Make Taxes Higher Again; and Make the Budget Rorted again. #auspol

www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDuz... In the words of producers 'Alright, buckle up, mates, because in today's video, we're diving deep into some absolutely bonkers govt spending down here in Australia! You won't believe the crazy amounts of taxpayer dollars that were flying around under Peter Dutton!

Who knew. Dutton 'in breach & serious contempt' not declaring gifts as recently as December. Flight Israel last July-August Flights + wife to the New Zealand April 24 His private gift register over $300 is 2 pages long. Barely a week in last 2 ½ yrs without freebies Big interest on the other site.

This election campaign is pretty depressing in terms of the vision being presented for our country. But Dutton rolling out his 20-year-old son to ppl to pretend that he, Dutton the Dad, ‘gets’ how hard it is for parents watching their kids struggle - WHEN HE’S A MULTIMILLIONAIRE is so gross

Former failed UAP candidate & current Liberal candidate for Whitlam Benjamin Britton has lashed out at women in Defence saying he wants to “remove females” from any combat roles in order to “fix” the ADF. Of course Peter Dutton will be too weak dump his misogynist mate.

“I tell you what weakness is: weakness is not having the guts to come to National Press Club,” Albanese said. “Weakness is holding one press conference at a quarter to two, before Q'n Time begins at two & not facing the Parliament House Press Gallery. Spot on🔥 psnews.com.au/the-national...

Migration? LNP hardly a mention - yet. Dutton claims “In its first 2 yrs, the govt brought in 1M people through migration program.” 'This is untrue, Dutton would know it. Dutton is deliberately mixing up net migration & the permanent migration program.' johnmenadue.com/post/2025/04...
