A smart govt - or even one with a PM who had a desire to do anything - would be using the LNP rabble to put in place every fucking thing they wanted. Problem is Albanese doesn’t seem to want anything other than power.

It really needs to emphasised as strongly as possible: Do not eat Tasmanian farmed salmon.

I reckon if we deem you responsible and mature enough to face a 25 year jail sentence you're probably also mature and responsible enough to be able to use fucking tiktok

I cannot believe I ever once thought this guy was worth reading or taking notice of.

Anyone else noticed how Nazi rallies get the go-ahead fairly easily from state governments, then the horrified public reaction is weaponised to pass anti-protest laws, which are then used to quash anti-genocide dissent and justify police assaults on small brown women? You picking up on this, too??

That’s it Jacinta, lock up a few 14 year olds for twenty years and the media will stop manufacturing a crime crisis. So-called ‘left’ parties like the ALP, Labour (NZ and UK) and the Democrats in the US just refuse to learn - leaning into this stuff NEVER works. It’s also socially regressive.

The Jacinta Allan Labor Government’s decision to introduce life sentences for children proves once again that Labor is only interested in cynical attempts to look tough - not implementing policies that actually work to improve community safety. 🧵 (1/4)

The most moral army in the world....

But they’re too young for social media…make it make sense www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill? Here you go.

You know, I just get this nagging feeling that developing AI is going to prove to be the moment humanity definitively sealed its own fate.

This person, in total sincerity, is celebrating the murder of a six-year-old girl, on the basis of her identity as a Palestinian. Will you see any journalist hound them, run a smear campaign as they have done to me and other Palestinians expressing entire tame opinions?

The ALP didn't bother negotiating with the Libs when it changed IR laws, but now apparently it needs LNP support for environmental protection changes. When govts want to do something, they do it. When they don't, they use bipartisanship as the excuse. No one here should fall for it

As of now there is nothing Albanese's govt has done that has changed the country in any structural way. No change at all to how the fundamental debates of the nation are addressed.

So I have the 2002 National Geographic World Reference Atlas on my bookshelf; it was given to me when I was 14. I now have it for the purposes of educating my own two children. Tonight, my six year-old daughter brought it over to have a look. Check out this map of Australia on page 194.

Imagine being this bereft.

The mainstream political fourth estate in Australia continue to touch what can only be described as a fucking spectacular amount of sucktitude.

You can almost guarantee that the AFP’s new taskforce for investigating things-that-aren’t-terrorism will be looking closely into climate activists

People whose only contribution to any political discourse is to ‘both sides’ everything, are genuinely the most feckless people on this planet.

I didn’t get to read this before it seemingly got taken down, and the very idea it was taken down at all should deeply alarm everyone.

Never seen so many desperate to lionise someone by pretending they were the complete opposite to who they proudly were than in the past couple days.

🚨Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal says pro-Palestine rallies should be banned from cities — but is dead silent about neo-Nazis. Investigations reveal “Advance” — funded by Segal's family trust —spread anti-immigrant material before Sunday's rallies... theklaxon.com.au/yx5p

Jillian Segal could not give a shit about **actual** antisemitism but cares absolutely and completely about silencing all criticism of Israel, to the exclusion of everything else. It’s really that simple.

What an absolute disgrace. The anti-semitism envoy "declined to specifically address the presence of neo-Nazis at anti-immigration marches on the weekend" www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Credit where it’s due. “The former Labor minister Ed Husic has rebuked Anthony Albanese’s assertion that “good people” attended last weekend’s anti-immigration rallies, saying “I haven’t seen a good fascist yet”.”

www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10... Who remembers that time a County Court judge wished this utter piece of shit good luck and said he had good chances of rehabilitation less than two years ago after they attacked six bushwalkers? I sure remember.

The absolute state of this pissweak flog

I’m old enough to remember when sections of the media and certain prominent figures were at very deep pains to stress that sov cits hoisting gallows outside Vic parliament were actually good people with legitimate concerns.

Can we fucking stop with this? “One of the most unsettling questions of our times”?? Get in the sea. How about you interview the workers these lake boiling slop machines are replacing??? Do you think these PEOPLE suffer at all? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

Children starving to death apparently doesn't count if they have disabilities or illness. Absolutely vile, sickening genocide denial coming out of Olivia and the "free press."

What is really "shameful" is that almost all Australian mainstream media report Netanyahu's confected indignation and 'defiance' as big news, while avoiding any mention that he is a wanted war criminal currently undertaking a genocide. #ThisIsNotJournalism #auspol www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Is this the first (supposed) war in all of history where a belligerent has killed more humanitarian aid workers than it has lost troops killed? That's 500 aid workers killed vs 450 IDF.

Labor's seriously flogging a dead horse with this embarrassingly ludicrous argument, and also buying into alternative reality Trumpism. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Well, it’s happened. Found my first tinge of what I’ll charitably call ‘salt and pepper’.

"We cannot pretend to stand against the far right while referring to its politics as “legitimate concerns”. 🎯 🎯 🎯

45 days post-op and this morning I finally got clearance to lose the protective shoe, resume normal walking, and I can drive again. Still no higher impact stuff (including bushwalking) until October, but still… Normality, I have missed you!

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".

Who, apart from everyone, would’ve guessed? Our turn next.

In relation to the Gaza atrocities, the ALP has taken real action - sanctions - against only two people: Fatima Payman and Mehreen Faruqi. Speaks volumes.

What a pompous windbag.

The Israeli Ambassador to Australia Amir Maimon has issued a statement. I have fixed the glaring errors. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

I wonder if leaders will ever admit that smearing all protests to stop the genocide actually contributed to the genocide. Will there ever be that level of self reflection and honesty or are we just going to get fake surprise like this after mass death.

What in fuck happened to this paper

I was deployed to Somalia in 1993 as part of the United Nations humanitarian operation. I never once saw a kid this emaciated We have example after example of people in Gaza starving yet the world stands by watching and doing nothing

No you may not disengage the brain from the office grind while you drive, you are now on the clock there too.

Another day, another Australian media outlet framing housing affordability getting worse as a positive thing.

There is nothing less than a total protection racket in place for the most genocidal regime in the world, in both this country and in many other Western countries.

did they censure One Nation for turning their backs on welcome to country yesterday in the chamber or...?

Dear World, In Australia, we'd rather punish the truth-tellers than punish the genocidal war criminals.
