I heard 'Australia' was forced to buy that USA rubbish or our wheat would be boycotted. Allies aren't they great?

It's not just #FreeviewTV channels that are unwatchable, we've canceled our streaming subscriptions too because it is all crap US formula with carefully coiffeured renegade heroes in the CIA/FBI/Military saving us all. Pfffffftttt! And then there the ads, ad nauseum for products we just don't want

The Albanese govt has dumped environmental laws in a desperate bid to keep #AUKUS going. But America has 𝘯𝘰𝘵 increased their construction rate anywhere near what would be required to meet theirs and our requirements. Let us be clear: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙎 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝘼𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙖. #auspol

To save everyone's time, Labor should change the title of their legislation 'reforms' from Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act to Mining Industry Profits Protection Act. #auspol

Is China mocking us right now? Because they’re not wrong. 😂

The contemporary centrist Labor Party is stacked with deeply institutionalised party apparatchiks and party elites who are more interested in holding onto incumbency than actually doing anything big, bold, and transformational with it. The environment and those in poverty are not its priority

Penny Wong accidentally saying the quiet bit out loud - for Labor the US relationship is more important than the Australian environment. Who do this lot think they work for?

The most disliked man in the USA is Elon Musk/Donald Trump. Who would you say is the most disliked in the UK?

A statement from me, on behalf of the Australian Cartoonists Association:

So why does Australia ( ranking 18) in global peace and quite well In our region want to be an ally with #US?

There you go @albomp.bsky.social , that’s a model that would get support here. Let us elect our HOS and I bet the acceptance for a republic would be overwhelming ! #auspol

Catherine Connolly has won the Irish presidency in a landslide. Because you are allergic to truth telling & principled foreign policy, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social, I hope hearing a respected leader speak with honesty & integrity causes you both to break out in hives. #GazaGenocide

I can't believe we are witnessing this. But then it would be naive to include the words 'at this time.' Shit like this has been going on for all of human history. Sadly we don't seem to get smarter. We are just predictable.

Won’t end well for Australia. If you lie with dogs, you will get up with fleas.

Yes, all escripts wiped off phone but still visible to them, took several calls to get them reinstated.

Has anyone been having problems with glitching escript electronic prescriptions in Australia? Using the chemist warehouse app to order and all sorts of weird things happening, pharmacist says they haven't seen any issues before. I really need to be able to fill my scripts 💊

After a while, I had stopped trying to convince him to wear a mask the articles I had sent the things I had said none had made a difference, and yet there he was in a mask, so I asked what had finally convinced him and in a tired voice he said: “I just can’t keep catching this.”

Trump has given #AUKUS the OK. Why wouldn’t he; it’s the deal of the century for the US. For Australia, it’s a huge national security blunder that’ll see a slide in our defence capabilities and even greater reliance on the US, which we’ll pay for. #auspol

Half of humanity is frightened of violence. The other half is frightened of ideas.

Labor factions, LNP assassinations, who the fuck are they all in their bizarre hubris? IMHO we peasants vote on belief in a party The whole party OK the local candidate must be good enough too But then,why not just vote indi when the candidate is a good person like @debleonard4monash.bsky.social

Indeed. Remember when Ged Kearney was going to be an advocate for change from the inside? So many great disappointments.

The sad thing is that all the new Labor MPs delivered such idealistic maiden speeches - WHERE ARE THEY NOW PALESTINE NEEDS THEM ??????. Totally cowed by Albo, which proves they're just careerists. Despicable.

Just sayin

Huge congratulations to Maria Corina Machado who has won the Nobel Imperialism Prize for steadfastly supporting Israel's genocide and calling on the US to invade her own country so she can be installed as puppet leader while Trump takes Venezuela's oil ♥️

We *can* work to improve things. Rather than individual consumption choices we need to organise, punish governments who won’t take action and elect one who will.

I have developed a theory that having too much money is functionally a form of solidarity confinement and that’s why these dudes all go completely bonkers.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

“Planet-heating methane is escaping from cracks in the Antarctic seabed as the region warms, with new seeps being discovered at an "astonishing rate," scientists have found, raising fears that future global warming predictions may have been underestimated.”
