Unimprovable opening to Private Eye’s review of Matt Goodwin’s ‘book’

this is the perfect tweet: creating enlightenment by favoring pedantic accuracy over the spirit of what a thought experiment was intended to suggest

When your schtick is incrementalism, there's always another shoe to drop

Proud dad moment: 10yo just collected $64 on a multi that included 'ALP being pathetic shills for gambling interests', 'Vic Libs being useless self-sabitaging fucks', and 'Kai Lohmann kicking first two goals vs Collingwood'

The thing about dental work is that they keep it off public healthcare because teeth are more than anything an immediately visible class indicator and means for the bourgeoisie to discriminate

Many More Should Have Also Been Prosecuted….

If only Labor had won the last election with an overwhelming majority …

Albanese called it “the most significant reform on gambling that has ever been implemented”. What he means is: “the most significant reform on gambling that the gambling lobby let me do" Pathetic. And releasing this just before Good Friday shows he knows it. Albo: all top, no iceberg. #auspol

My friend Jason, an actual war hero rather than the tiny dick cosplay fuckwits racing us towards Armageddon, guests at my column this week. It’s a day early to avoid ruining the chocolate festival.

Dear @albomp.bsky.social in case you haven’t read the research - the best way to achieve social cohesion is to decrease the massive income and opportunity gaps.. #auspol

Albanese has the chutzpah to end his #NPC speech with “no-one left behind”. If he really believes that’s what his government is achieving, he’s a fool. If he thinks voters will buy it, he’s even more deluded. #auspol #inequality #poverty

"Australia is one of the few countries, possibly the only one, where there is no limit to the private income and wealth a school can amass without forfeiting public funding" Albo should STFU about 'social cohesion' while school funding directly undermines it. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/04...

I do think it can be frustrating for people to confront the fact that you can do everything right in terms of skill, talent and work and still not succeed because of factors outside of one's own control. But this is just a fact of life, in writing and outside of it. Just do the best work you can.

The Forest Service has been an extraordinary public organization. The Trump administration is trying to dismantle it. open.substack.com/pub/morethan...

Run riot. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social

The council tried adding concrete safety buffers for cyclists at the end of my street and so many drivers complained about hitting the concrete buffers, the council removed them

Menzies arguably supported Unions more than this Labor Government. I want @albomp.bsky.social to be like Whitlam and I believe Australia wants and is ready for Whitlam like Policy. The world is wanting the wealth gap closed and rich paying their fair share

Sorry, what? Since when does the LotO get to do addresses on the national broadcaster? Does the Crossbench get a slot after this too?

Even this is timid. Private schools are simply parasitic and by wealth and power manipulate government policy in their favour. It seems a deliberate breeding of a lower class. Just look how Labor treats people without much money. They love the US model.

We document fuckery in vain hope this changes something. The idea is if enough people know the truth, something will shift. As a motivation, this is becoming less powerful. The truth feels screamingly obvious, and yet the monsters persist and the masses clap and vote for them.

Marine scientist and co-founder of the Great Southern Reef Foundation Stefan Andrews said he first noticed indicators of the bloom at Port Hughes, about 70 kilometres south of Port Broughton, on Sunday.

Australia’s teen social media ban is a flop. But there’s no joy in ‘I told you so’ | Samantha Floreani

"Job providers are still refusing phone appts, forcing welfare recipients to travel. How bad does the fuel crisis need to get before g'ment considers suspending obligations?" Government says they take action against providers who do the wrong thing. Everyone, even the Ombudsman, knows this a lie

Honoured to second Kate Chaney's bill to ban gambling ads today. It's good policy and Australians want it. If the Gov is too scared to stand up on this, they should at least get out of the way and let others do it for them #auspol #politas

“The Press Club cancelled Pulitzer winner Chris Hedges after he submitted a speech on the killing of Palestinian journalists, then booked Israel’s ambassador instead. If you wonder why media reporting on Gaza genocide has been so disappointing this is what they think is normal,” #Auspol

"You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the USA won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us," Hey @albomp.bsky.social, reckon we can cancel AUKUS now the US has made their position so clear? #AusPol #CancelAUKUS

A number of false & misleading claims have been made about Friends of the Earth in The Australian newspaper today. In a long piece focusing on funding for enviro orgs, a number of false claims were made about us & our work. Our response is here > www.foe.org.au/false_claims

Albo says the Australian way is to look out for each other. This is hard to reconcile with condoning genocide, walking past homeless people, keeping job seekers at half the poverty level, taking no constructive action against violence towards women, trying to kill NDIS etc

Shorter national address

#Permissiveness for #Fascism in #Australia - #auspol This is so fucking scary for anyone who is the target of these assholes. Please remember: These people want us dead or gone. This is not about normal free speech. They believe some of us are animals to be eradicated.

How much of the address to the nation just now was about bolstering Easter tourism?

Albo about to address the nation

Well done Senator Lidia Thorpe for 1. bringing Stevie’s death in custody (following a directed chokehold applied to his neck by Queensland police) to the attention of the AUS 🇦🇺parliament & 2. to the wider recognition in AUS 🇦🇺 & internationally 🌏 3. Also well done for keeping your cool here 🤬

Lidia Thorpe told to stop quoting the vile words of QLD cops who used a choke hold on Indigenous man Steven Nixon-McKellar who died in their custody. Cop: “choke this c*** out” Too vile for our parliament but not too vile for the standards of QLD police. #auspol

Was kind of like when someone emails you and then sends you a Teams message to say ‘hey, I’ve sent you an email’

Albanese's address to the nation. "Australia is not an active participant in the war" ... just a passive participant folks

Here's me. "Only morons and ghouls could possibly believe the Israeli Ambassador’s Press Club narrative"

Could Albo not just have announced that hours ago instead of all this cloak-and-dagger that had everyone trying not to panic all day

Labor’s new National platform looks to be a surrender of principle and decency to expediency and power - loving the US and AUKUS, planning for war against China with Trump, and unfairly jailing people they don’t like - it would have made Menzies blush and Whitlam revolt.

Nothing says 'not a crisis, don't panic' like the prime minister deciding to hold a covid-style address at 7pm on the last day of parliament for a month, ahead of a hastily arranged press club address, just to prove that yes, this government does hold a (petrol) hose.

Can you imagine if Albanese came on TV tonight and announced closing of all US bases in Australia, cancelling AUKUS and closing airspace to US military? Perhaps in a parallel universe. #Auspol

The Supreme Court ruled today that a practitioner's religious beliefs are more important in treating you than any science bc science that counters one's religious beliefs violates the practitioner's right to free expression and exercise of their religious beliefs God, this country is dumb af

Uh oh. We were warned of this 20-30 years ago. And ignored it.

If we can just sit tight, spend less, care for each other and plan for a #future that’s less dependent on #clmate wrecking #FossilFuels we may survive. #auspol

This is Apartheid. It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide. To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.
