I'm calling for a royal commission into calls for royal commissions. Terms of reference to include: - How & why a petition from half a million Australians for a Murdoch royal commission was ignored - how dodgy sporting identities jumped on the bandwagon for an antisemitism royal commission. #auspol

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

BREAKING: Australians urged to hold off on passing any judgement over US-Venezuela invasion without first waiting for MSM to get expert unwanted opinions from John Howard, Tony Abbott, and Pauline Hanson. #auspol

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

Russia will condemn this unprovoked aggression and say that international law must be respected.

I assume 130 prominent business people are signing letters as we speak insisting that the US flag be projected on the Sydney Opera House as a sign of solidarity #Caracas

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

@auspol Your thoughts? The headline on the Aus tomorrow will be...

3 days into Dry January and some people are compensating for not having a drink by invading another country and kidnapping its President.

I'm here for the witticisms.

Chris Minns wondering if anyone will think it is too early to ban protests against the US

What do Melbourne cafe owners think about Donald Trump bombing Venezuela and abducting its president and his wife?

Winning the Internet today:

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

2026 was going so well

Monday: Trump tells reporters he is “very angry” at purported Ukrainian attempt to hit Russian President's home. Saturday: Trump orders kidnap of President of Venezuela. Interesting convention to dump.

“The billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30-an-hour that their enemies are those earning $20-an-hour. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system.” -Zohran Mamdani

Did you notice how people stood against Israel on such a scale that the corporate world clamped down? YouTube deleted war crime evidence. Social algos silo truth. Owned politicians outlaw protest speech. Police assault protesters. Media covers up the crime. Know your enemies.

Happy new year to the Crown Melbourne workers taking industrial action x

#auspol I know it's the silly season but a friend claims: "I have had private conversations with board members of Green energy bodies and they are steering toward Nuclear but not telling you about it yet." Does anyone want to make a guess as to the bodies?

But what if a Royal Commission finds that peaceful protest does not result in increases in anti-semitism and that Netanyahu‘s post Oct ‘23 actions in Palestine are the major cause of any escalation in anti-semitism. What then? #auspol

And in Australia…

I will NOT be lectured about peace of mind by a man who puts an apostrophe in Under 16s

@grogsgamut.bsky.social here’s the appalling employment column in the SMH this week. www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/li...

Exactly so. Language is important, and nobody has explained what “mass immigration” means — it’s a Trumpism, IIRC.

Suspect they wrote this with @purplepingers.bsky.social in mind. www.betootaadvocate.com/thrifty-home...

“Our Cabin Manager Sister Bernadette already told you that you didn’t order the Gluten Free meal so we don’t have one for you… No, no more wine either….. You need to sit down and fasten your seat belt NOW, sir.”

Australian success story!

Using ai to replace the bosses yes?

#auspol (maybe @theshot.net.au?) an article I'm reading says 'According to the orthodox political theory of “generational drift”, voters tend more conservative as they age. Thus as older voters die, they are replaced.' But that is from Aitkin (1982). /1

In case you have not yet had questions about Andrew Hastie's fitness for high office, he is currently running a "one flag" campaign where you put an image of the Australian flag, defaced with his slogans, ON YOUR RUBBISH BIN. Why is it that potatriots never know anything about flag protocol?

How many apologies is that now?

Last night @davidpocock.bsky.social and I read onto the Hansard an interview by the President of Nauru that the Albanese Government has been desperately trying to keep secret. It shows Nauru plans to send refugees to places they fled. No wonder the secrecy.

‘This is how big my dog whistle is’

I’ll be honest, I’m not finding this constant stream of “we have unfortunately misled you” by the NACC very reassuring

It turns out we have @grogsgamut.bsky.social speaking today!

As a welcome gift to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, President Trump presents him with a 24 carat gold replica of the bone saw that he used to dismember Saudi journalist Jamal Kashoggi. #DonaldTrump #JamalKashoggi

A little bird has told me that @richarddenniss.bsky.social will be addressing the next Federal Council meeting!! Really looking forward to it!!

Announcement… I have been elected to CPSU Federal Council with my mate Ed. I now have three union hats, which makes me feel like one of these: www.newscientist.com/article/mg24...

It would be really funny if South Africa refused to take him back and he ended up on Nauru.

Yesssss!

www.theguardian.com/environment/... The inquiry heard from Grant Piper, a farmer who chairs the National Rational Energy Network (NREN) – a group launched in 2023 to connect groups opposed to renewables projects. The group’s first zoom meeting in 2023 was hosted by Barnaby Joyce’s office

"Liberal climate policy now officially what we always thought it was anyway."

Hannah Thomas required surgery after police allegedly struck her at a pro-Palestine protest. She was charged with three offences. She's "sickened" to see the force approve a neo-Nazi rally on the steps of parliament, arguing it exposes "a clear double standard". www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Latest update: Richo is currently being refused admission to hell, lest he do the numbers against the devil’s infernal reign

You have to wonder how many people are disappeared. BTW, they're still looking for parents for some of the kids Trump removed from their parents last time.
