There's a breed of very pompous middle-aged man reporters who get very cross when their commentary is reliably wrong and/or makes no difference to anything. They thought they'd be more powerful & influential by now & finding out they're not makes them very hormonal.

How in the goddamn flying fuck do we live in a country where the murders of 15 people from one racial/religious group ONCE requires both a Royal Commission AND the deployment of the army but the murders of 80 women EVERY YEAR since time immemorial fucking doesn’t?? #NewsCorpse

“The question isn’t “who are we letting into our country?”, it’s “why are we letting grasping politicians spread further hate and division?”” Such a great piece by @amyremeikis.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

The gun ownership laws are a complete fictitious joke. The fantasy garbage of "hunting" licenses and owning multiple guns is a political product for extremists. The Shooters & Nationals have been able to use their positions in the Senate & State Upper Houses to make the original laws useless.

No! Not seized power, placed there by backroom brokers who want to put up a false image of more women in the job.No real say, but great media propaganda. Sadly, puppets on a blue string, ready to break anytime it is pulled from behind the closed door.

How is Susan Ley’s writing to the US Republicans to defy the government’s Palestine policy not treasonous?

We need to talk about Sydney’s tunnels. I keep making the mistake of using them. Designed to make the trip shorter, they regularly end up longer and even more expensive because: - the signage leading to them is confusing - GPS does not read them underground - the signage inside them is hopeless

I underestimated how much I'd like having saved posts.

finally someone in Parliament said it. I am not the only one who noticed that Abbott-era bipartisan hysteria over Australians fighting with ISIS has until now been matched by complete crickets on Australians joining genocidal Israeli occupation forces. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

It's within the rules, but that should change - politicians receiving travel allowance to stay in homes they or their spouses own in Canberra is a very, very broken system www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Often think of Paul Keating's pitch to "pivot to Asia" in the 90's - strengthening our ties in OUR region - and lament that we kept looking to Europe and USA... what a wasted 30 years that's been.

Coalition happy to have quotas for Nationals on frontbench but not for female Liberal MPs, Tanya Plibersek says

i know there's a new comms minister but this has been a long time coming, and the goverment hid behind the "on-going legal action excuse". remarkable that there is nothing? not even a vague commitment to ensuring the impartiality of the abc??? (i know ed husic posted about it)

Wealth needs to be taxed more regardless of who holds it. Boomers, Gen X. We can't expect the young to keep coughing up through income tax. I'm a boomer, at the younger end, and I'm all for Chalmers having a crack at taxing wealth. Large super balances, inheritances and multi investment properties.

Paul Keating says US Aukus review could ‘save Australia from itself’ as sceptics hail chance to exit pact

The attempt to change super tax concessions has worried the extremely wealthy that people will realise just how rigged the system is in their favour. And they worry it might finally be the start of attempts to address the growing wealth inequality in this country www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

A brilliant piece: ‘The debacle has all the hallmarks of the rapacious gouging that big sports inflict on taxpayers’: the unnecessary sporting infrastructure, the support of the major parties, cost blowout, the abandonment of proper policy process, the big 4 at the trough….
