The Sunday Shot starts in 15 mins. Jo and I are joined by legends @rachelwithers.bsky.social and @paulbongiorno.bsky.social. Join us as we break down the happenings at the UN in a considerably less parochial/moronic fashion than our mainstream media did this week.

What’s a narcissists favorite keyboard shortcut? Ctrl U 🤪🤣 #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Why are all vampires narcissists? Because they’re incapable of self-reflection #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

UK poverty is being driven by the same factors as Australia, US, Canada & NZ. Is capitalism finally collapsing as more and more people are priced out of it? It's time we stopped being distracted by domestic political BS. Cost of living crisis is global. #auspol www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-0G...

If you think cost of living is a domestic issue, guess again. People in the US are experiencing the same bill extortion as we are. Same in UK, Canada, NZ & various other places. It's a cost of greed crisis. Extreme Capitalism is bleeding us dry. #auspol www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhtY...

Here's the line-up for this week's #SundayShot. Please watch us! (& also like, subscribe and give us money) It's going to be a great conversation. @wendybacon1.bsky.social, @boganintel.bsky.social, @arielbogle.bsky.social, @davemilbo.bsky.social. Iran. Sovereign Citizens. Not the Midwinter Ball.

When Plibersek was environment minister I wanted to believe she was carrying the poor decisions of the government in general. I have doubts. #AusPol

How to speak Irish, lesson one.

Not once, but twice & Rudd kicked out an Israeli Diplomat over it, as did UK & Ireland. Gillard (lauded for some unknown reason) & Dreyfus, lobbied against it. Rudd had a spine. Albanese is a shiver looking for one. Apparently committing war crimes is cool & normal by comparison? #auspol

The #SundayShot is up! Dr Cameron Murray, @janecaro.bsky.social, @davemilbo.bsky.social & I tackle economics first thing on a Sunday morning, & Ukraine Democracy Director Dr Olga Oleinikova talks war fatigue in Ukraine. Watch..and donate at theshot.net.au/support-us/ www.youtube.com/live/0N1IKHJ...

"Please stop Zionizing us." "Your optic nerve is antisemitic." He's right on every point. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust #FactsMatter #TruthMatters

If they wanna talk productivity=look no further than the bloody NBN. Biggest infrastructure roll out of our time to future proof us in a global digital future, sabotaged by LNP. With the advent of AI, our digital productivity is ZERO until NBN is finished @jimchalmers.bsky.social #SundayShot #auspol

Politics=a Ralph & Sam cartoon. They pretend to oppose each other but they're 2 sides of the same coin protecting the toxic status quo. Nothing changes=It's a revolving door of mediocrity & that'll be Albanese's legacy. Even with a huge majority he's a shiver looking for a spine #auspol #SundayShot

Cynicism is the last bastion of the perpetually disappointed. I'm nothing BUT cynical. Politicians do NOTHING about anything meaningful to those of us they purport to represent. Democracy is BS. They never listen to us, they're owned by vested interests. We're an inconvenience #SundayShot #auspol

Netanyahu has no intention of leaving Gaza IMO =All that Gas & Greater Israel ambitions. World leaders have taken 2 years to even say anything critical & he knows they're unlikely to DO fuk all even now. Gaza is in ruins, potentially 100's of 1000's dead & they're all talking tokenism? #SundayShot

"Truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is" (Churchill). It's the proverbial elephant in the room that most of the media & politicians work overtime to ignore, but there it is. Hiding in plain sight #auspol

“At the moment Australia literally gives half the gas we export away for free. Zero royalties, no PRRT paid on half the gas we export.” Executive Director Richard Denniss chats with 3AW about how Australia is giving away most of our gas for free. @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

This weekend's #SundayShot sees Dr Scott Burchill making his debut plus Shot favourite @amyremeikis.bsky.social returns! And we interview @australiainstitute.org.au's @richarddenniss.bsky.social on his new essay, "Dead Centre: How political pragmatism is killing us". Enjoy your Sunday ☕ with us.

No, they couldn't arrest that many but they certainly created a high risk situation turning people around. The potential for injury doing something that stupid was immense. Ironically, they argued risk of injury to stop the march & ended up creating the biggest risk. Deliberate? or idiotic? #auspol

Australia test-fires a new US-made long-range missile. range 500km, but that can be doubled, easily reaching Indonesian targets #auspol michaelwest.com.au/indo-relatio...

"Nothing's off the table at the tax round table Brian" "Nothing?" "Well except for those ideas that our donors told us not to table because they found them too taxing"

We should re-conceptualise what "bipartisan support" means in Australia. It does not mean "sensible compromise reaching across the political aisle", if it ever did. Today, it typically means "the establishment has united to fuck the rest of us".

The erosion of the humanities is not just a policy failure. It is a failure of imagination. We make students ready for the job market. But without the tools to think deeply, imagine ethically and reason clearly, we risk leaving them soul-starved. #auspol #humanities

Welcome to the age of #NeoFeudalism aka #NeoLiberalism Nothing changes but the name. In the dark ages a handful of arseholes owned everything & the rest scratched for crumbs. Flash forward to 2025, a handful of arseholes own everything and we're still scratching for crumbs. #SundayShot #auspol

Irony=Politicians elected to represent the PEOPLE, are fighting court cases (funded by our taxes) to avoid having any duty of care to the PEOPLE? We get to pay for the destruction of the mining industry in the short & long term, while they pay nothing=adding insult to injury #SundayShot #auspol

@mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social & the Greens are not the only ones calling for Sanctions. Labor rank & file wants sanctions too & only one media outlet reported it. Wilful ignorance in the media & political class typifies this blatant massacre. They won't even call it Genocide #SundayShot #auspol

Hurry up, get your coffee and get comfy #SundayShot is about to start.... #auspol

Here's me. 'In a sick world, centrism makes monsters of us'

Please support the independent journalism of me, Jo, Ronni, Joel, John and everyone that contributes to @theshot.net.au. We certainly aren't getting any dollars from the Zionist lobby. theshot.net.au/support-us/

Here's me. 'The ABCs of holocaust denial'

We've hit peak UpsideDown World with Netanyahu, a man slaughtering hundreds of thousands of babies and wanted by the ICJ, nominating Trump, for the Nobel Peace Prize

I visited Twitter for the first time in ages yesterday & posted about todays #SundayShot , hoping to get more ppl watching. Clearly others did too, including Doug Cameron & Josh Bornstein & #SundayShot is trending. Independent media rocks. @davemilbo.bsky.social @instanterudite.bsky.social #auspol

OK, so the person calling himself @dougcameron.bsky.social is a dud, or has the same name. The pic is not our Dougie. Why would anyone impersonate a retired senator? Either way it's not him. Might ask on Twitter if he's intending to join. We want the real thing. #auspol #SundayShot

As our largest trading partner China is an economic ally not our enemy. America doesn't like being less economically powerful & that's all this warmongering is about. America is our biggest threat & our politicians are selling us out = #Treason #SundayShot #auspol

Politicians these days are Party Servants, not Public servants. Nothing about AUKUS is in our national interest & yet the only voices speaking out are Keating, Carr, Evans & yourself & ALP are flipping all of you the bird. Where does that leave us? What's happened to ALP? #SundayShot #auspol

Hey @joshbornstein.bsky.social , love to know what you think about what's happening in the UK. What do we do when lawmakers censor everyone to protect Israels Genocide. It's getting a bit scary. History repeating itself, in the blood stained hands of complicit politicians #SundayShot #auspol

In the U.K. the Law itself now targets journalists & the public from supporting pro Palestinian groups or protests. This video from George Monbiat is disturbing. Apparently even sharing it can lead to a 14 year sentence. #Censorship #auspol #SundayShot www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECkV...

Our #SundayShot line-up could not be more on point! @joshbornstein.bsky.social on the ABC's humiliating defeat, @dougcameron.bsky.social on the Govt's s obeisance to Trump's bombing of Iran & an interview with @petercronau.bsky.social. Tune in on Sunday at 9am AEST 👇 www.youtube.com/@TheSundayShot

Absolutely perfect line up. Please ask Doug Cameron to join Bluesky & open up LAW=Labor against War to the public so we can join the push to end AUKUS & take back our sovereignty from America, who's only interest in Australia is to further their own toxic agenda. #SundayShot #auspol

The BOM is hopeless. Mon night I checked the forecast for this week = Tues/Wed Rain & 25-30km winds in afternoon. What happened? 65kms winds with >100km gusts all Tuesday night & all day today & hundreds of power outages up and down the coast. They couldn't forecast the weather to save OUR lives.

The look on your face speaks volumes @davemilbo.bsky.social I Share your rage....FMD. It just gets worse & worse. Netanyahu & Trump are dragging the world into another forever war while other world leaders become complicit in their silence. But hey.....the planes are all safe🤦 #SundayShot

Cynicism is the last bastion of the perpetually disappointed @davemilbo.bsky.social The 'Born to Rule' just keep getting more and more brazen. If you're not cynical, you're not paying attention #SundayShot

Netanyahu & Trump=the two most dangerous sociopaths in the world right now. How is the world letting itself get manipulated by Men who have NIL moral leadership? Are we that pathetic we can't stand up to these mad men? We outnumber them. International law means nothing at this point. #SundayShot

Netanyahu has waved the same false flag about Iran being weeks away from developing nuclear weapons in 2012, 2015, 2018 & now, and there was no evidence then, no evidence now. As Alexei Sayle says, They Lie, & they Lie, & they Lie & they Lie. #SundayShot

Grab your coffee, #SundayShot is live now. Be there or be square...... www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCoE...

Oh FFS. #Insiders has Greg Sheridan and Waleed Aly on. Don't need to listen, both are predictable. Said for years MSM & ABC are at the helm of their own redundancy & as more & more of their audience disappears, they STILL don't wanna realise it's them, not us. #SundayShot is way more intelligent.

"Governing for the easily distracted" Well put @davemilbo.bsky.social Certainly not governing for those of us paying attention. So much potential, so little meaningful action. Even with #AUKUS shaping up as a lame duck, they're still trying to spin it into mythical swan. #SundayShot

Choices....Hate Watch #Insiders droning the same repetition they've had on rinse repeat all week? OR, ditch it for the #SundayShot ?...... No brainer. Real commentary wins over the usual media 'talking point' fest. Here's the link #auspol

It's almost identical here to UK. LNP wrecked the joint. We had such high hopes for ALP to reform so many things & all we got was mediocrity & disappointment. The only reason ALP won this time was to keep LNP out. A choice between destruction & mediocrity=lesser or two evils #SundayShot #auspol
