Bernard Keane. “The Albanese govt may be …. persisting with fantasy of a “rules-based international order” (which Penny Wong was still peddling just this week), but Canada’s Mark Carney was laying out the necessary response to a world where that order is now a smouldering ruin.”

Gavin Newsom: “I mean, heck, Donald Trump tried to steal the election — the last election, tried to light democracy on fire, and then pardoned everyone that participated in that — is anyone paying attention to what the hell is going on in the United States of America?”

‘total installed electricity capacity of the planet—every coal, gas, hydro, nuclear plant and renewables—was about 10 terawatts. The Chinese solar supply chain can now pump out 1 terawatt of panels every year’ Solar at 0.655 TW plus wind at 0.150 TW in 2025 represents 8% of the world’s capacity.

"It is utterly shameful MPs of the major parties, including some Teals, supported the process surrounding this law & the law itself.

I am not looking forward to the next week. Very dangerous fire weather, and AC becomes a health necessity. For fucks sake, grease your trailer bearings people! And help the poor wildlife any way you can.

Morning Rob @robertarnol.bsky.social Is this part of your "Don't Come Here " new technique ?

Morning. ☕️

The Liberal party's sensible moderates have been either voted out or bullied out by the big swinging dicks, and the only policies they actually took to their last election were written by their far-right friends from Sky News. " www.betootaadvocate.com/twink-taylor...

And what do they have in common? At least 3/4 are nepo babies. Merit in The Libs is who you're related to.

Who will Rupert choose?

How distasteful and sick is that? Trump’s Peace Club is really a real estate racket. After Gaza where to next? You could be next on their menu. #auspol

Dr Assal Rad— "This is genocide profiteering. There are still thousands of Palestinians buried under rubble and the architects of their slaughter are planning to build a resort on top of their bodies. "Gaza is truly the graveyard of humanity."

This Day in #History 1506 The first contingent of 150 Swiss Guards arrives at the Vatican.

Do your "Leaders" KNOW what they are doing to America's Reputation? Even if the whole Republican Congress - & especially Tge Cabinet, is jailed for life. It will take Decades, Internationally, for you yo be trusted

When known child rapists roam free, who cares about the Constitution? This regime is pissing on Law left and right.

The Trump regime and Israel have a lot in common. Sadism, obviously, but also the complete immunity to legalities and human norms Compulsive lying, constant killing, especially kids, journalists, medics and academics They are killing civilisation itself, literally starting with honest communication.

#Gaza: 3 journalists have been killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted their vehicle. According to CPJ, over 200 journalists have been killed in Gaza. #Israel has a duty under international law to protect journalists. They must also allow foreign media in.

So the Attorney-General + Foreign Minister can’t concretely say whether people can be prosecuted for calling Israel’s actions “genocide”. How the fuck are ppl meant to know what speech is lawful? Do we just wait for the first activist or group to be arrested first? Grotesque.

Fascism works on vague language. Its to keep us off balance and afraid to speak out for fear of arrest.

Donald Trump's "Board of Peace" is the result of the world bowing before the global rampage of the US-Israel Axis. Once again, the Palestinian people are being offered as sacrifices, and along with them, the entire global system of international law.

Funny what can be done in just four hours. The boffins have done the hard work so the formatted data is sitting on a server, it just has to be served, which is *easy* Compare and contrast to the BOMs $96M multi year website project.

“Bad laws are the worst type of tyranny”. That the @australianlabor.bsky.social Party legacy. Hate speech laws, NACC, Environment Laws. The list is getting longer as @albomp.bsky.social writes his legacy. #auspol.

Me neither. Labor cannot be trusted. Worse than Morrison . Furious that a one off golden opportunity, given by voters to Labor, to carry out real critical structural changes, has been arrogantly and negligently throw in the people’s faces. A tragedy for the people and democracy. #auspol

I mean this is fun and all but so what? What will this change? If the fact that he’s a paedophile protector, rapist and felon 34 times over doesn’t do anything, what can this do?

So a bunch of Europeans Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians, Poles, Germans, Slavs, Czechs, Dutch, French, move to the Middle East, claim the land as their own, guard the borders of the land stolen with violence, bigotry, labeling the indigenous peoples terrorists for resisting, and for just existing.

Fat bottomed possums You make the rockin' world go 'round

John Queripel: “Now the AUKUS fantasy has taken another hit. Retired British Rear Admiral Philip Matthias has highlighted Brits lack the capacity to deliver Australia the AUKUS submarines, and there is a high probability that the program will fail.” johnmenadue.com/post/2026/01...

BEA Systems build the UK subs, decades late, billions over budget. They own Australian Submarine Corporation now. The Hunter Class Patrol boats - a BAE design are running late and will be over budget. Really big defence companies are slow and expensive.

The Albanese Labor Government were given huge majority by voters to actually do the right thing. Instead, the responsibility to serve the Australian people and common good has been dumped to serve the Trump War Dept and Israel Ethnocracy Regimes political agenda. The great betrayal continues.

It's wild how much Orwell got right

That’s obvious. The $AUDbillion cheques being handed by Marles every few months to Trump’s War Dept Secretary, to do with as he pleases, is just an extortion racket on full display. Just where is that public money going? #auspol @australianlabor.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social

Chris Hayes: “The powerful have their power. But we have something too: the capacity to stop pretending, to name realities, to build our strength at home, and to act together.” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.”

If the question is "can you accuse Israel of genocide without fear of prosecution" and the answer is anything other than an unqualified "yes", then there is something dangerously wrong with your "hate laws". www.youtube.com/shorts/YmEcn...

Nothing wrong with them once you understand that suppressing criticism of Israel is their purpose. The problem is the govt being under Zionist control.

Andrew Klein: “The 2017 “Watergate” scandal, $80 million of taxpayer money bought questionable water rights from Cayman Islands-linked company was a high-definition symptom of deeper, more disturbing truth: Australia’s entire system of public integrity is not failing by accident, but by design.”
