No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

This needs to be repeated more often. Gambling can be a serious addiction, like drugs and alcohol. It destroys lives and families if not recognized. These commercials that make it look like harmless fun are dishonest. They prey on human weakness.

A country obsessing about the monthly change in the price of dwellings is pretty cooked. Are you day trading your house or flat? (The long and medium term trend, where housing prices have consistently increased faster than inflation and incomes has been a disaster.)

Every day that major media outlets headline the sad/sympathetic life of a man who has killed a woman and/or children, whether they were put in a suitcase or not, is a reminder that the media are basically a protection racket for the patriarchy, no matter how many women and children die.

"Why has AHPRA chosen to adopt a politically biased and intellectually flawed device that threatens fundamental Australian values?" We know why. Like so many media agencies, universities, arts bodies and politicians, AHPRA has caved in to the Israel lobby. pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/07...

Falling house prices = improving housing affordability

@albomp.bsky.social we're waiting

The Government™ has made an ad about Palantir, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

Here's @lucyham.bsky.social. "Hanson is just the tip of the oligarchs’ far-right iceberg"

Opinion | The United Nations' latest report into Israel's deliberate targeting of Palestinian children has barely registered in Australian media. For those who have read it, the only response is despair. www.crikey.com.au/2026/06/29/i...

You need to visit the Australian Pen Museum in Gundagai (its on Facebook) an amazing collection.

Could not be more peeved that Mr On The Moon has coined the perfect word, 'gobbledygrift', in relation to Pileen Hamsom, before I might have thought of it but totally hadn't. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Australians will pause at 11am tomorrow to observe a minute’s silence, in order to reflect on the hardships endured by rich men who sabotaged their careers on purpose in order to generate maximum media coverage and victimhood status.

Bluesky launched in February 2023 as an invite-only platform. As of June 2026, we have 45 million users. For reference, that's almost the population of Argentina. Thank you for being here with us 💙 Here’s to the next 45 million accounts.

I'm sick of multimillionaire conservative white men pitching themselves as Average Joe underdog good blokes. First "comedian" Dave Hughes, now "journalist" Karl Stefanovic. Shills for conservatism, racism, bigotry and the wealthy. #auspol #media #journalism

A Party of Independents Sounds Like a Contradiction. It Isn't. The majors rigged the donation laws & walled off the Senate, then act baffled that anyone builds something new. A party of independents is not naive idealism. It is strategic. Here’s my take 👇 open.substack.com/pub/suebarre...

Not a drag queen.

How come all the NIMBY weirdos who never shut up about wind turbines 5km off the coast have nothing to say about these gargantuan noisy data centres that are springing up in the middle of suburbs, contaminating water, destroying liveability and property prices? It's weird.

Yes imagine @fifawc26.bsky.social they've been treated disgracefully, not least of which Israel should be kicked out

Imagine if Iran got to prepare under the same rules that the other 47 teams do.

"Charities and non-profits are often where an Australian first learns that citizenship involves being there for other people," writes Andrew Leigh. "Charities do more than deliver services. They create belonging." trib.al/U4UxZfw

Here’s Charles Murray (hothoused by 2 Atlas Network think tanks out of obscurity) to make their very useful point that the poor are trash and the rich genetically superior. It’s science, see?! “It’s a waste to help them. Quotas/DEI are pointless. No point fighting science.”

Here’s an academic listing the study lead, Harvard’s David Reich, alongside the two notorious eugenicists, Charles Murray and Richard Hernstein who used Nazi-linked Pioneer Fund junk “research” to prove the poor (any colour) were inferior. Welfare only helped them breed. Let them die out.

🧵So I mentioned Quillette as a New Eugenics rag last week. Funded incidentally by two sons of Rio Tinto* (Peter Thiel & Mark Carnegie) 😬 They call it Human BioDiversity or HBD because they can be coercive about more than race. 🙄 Look what’s popped up this week. They like “race science/IQ” 🙄

SO GOOD

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06... What a misleading headline and disingenuous article Armstrong Read the last sentence , change your headline and lift your game NewsCorp abc staff

"Ben owns a farm. He employs 100 workers. His total payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it with a modest 10% productivity gain. Ben fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1,000% productivity gain..."

Holy hell @news.abc.net.au why do you keep interviewing pathetic Israeli spokespeople on #abc730? Turned off @fergusonnews.bsky.social

The number of bots and trolls online on other social media is extreme. It’s risen as the One Nation campaign has ramped up. I’ve noticed lots of Israeli links that the average punter wouldn’t notice.

The IPA is neither “conservative” nor a “think tank”, it’s a far right propaganda factory. “Ms Harkin, a one-time federal Liberal candidate for the seat of Macnamara, is also the director of education at the conservative think tank the Institute of Public Affairs” www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

A powerful piece from Greg.

This week's #SundayShot has great analysis from @crikey.com.au's Charlie Lewis on Hanson's insane #NPC address and Bruce Wolpe on Trump's humiliating capitulation to Iran. Get into it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8BP...

Whut story❓ This exposé of Thales-owned Australian Munitions that manufactures explosives for Israel in Victorian factories, transports it under cover of night in unmarked vehicles, ships it from 🇦🇺 ports, & obscures it's origins & final destination by trading it via arms dealing ops in Singapore⁉️

Sad. That's what it looks like (and bland and lacking diverse ideas and dullsville)

FAFO world cup

🇵🇸 ⚽ 🏆 Young Gazans take part in their own 'World Cup' On a beach in Khan Yunis, in the south of the Gaza Strip, another high-stakes football tournament is being played out far from the World Cup in North America. Young men, some barefoot, dart around under the guidance of a volunteer coach

You paying attention @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social ?

UNICEF says Israel has killed 265 children in Gaza since the “ceasefire” was announced. 21,289 children have been killed and 44,500 kids injured in Gaza since 7 October 2023. What other country in the world kills thousands of children and gets away with it like this? www.yahoo.com/news/world/a...
