This! Who would’ve thought? #auspol

He’s not wrong.

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

When is the Fed Govt going to learn? US interests are their own and they believe in their hegemony. The #AUKUS deal is not favourable to us and it's becoming more of a lemon than it already has been. Clearly we are unable to exercise our sovereignty. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Hanson is corrupt and a menace to society. #auspol

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets and the pockets of those around him. He says he is constrained only by his “own morality.” When we say "No Kings," this is why.

“All 11 Nationals MPs, including leader David Littleproud, have quit the shadow ministry in a move that could blow apart the Coalition after the junior opposition party retaliated against Opposition Leader Sussan Ley ...” AFR 21 Jan 2026 7:09pm #auspol

Mark Carney has called the shemozzle that is the international rules based order for what it is. Canada has taken the sign out of the window. Your move Albo! #auspol

Solid. My @smh cartoon.

And “toothless” which is the adjective to describe the UN …

It was always about oil.

Watch them YouTube chefs line to flog what AliExpress sells for <AUD 50 (~USD35). The “secret” with carbon steel is your burner strength and how you grease the wok before cooking. But nothing beats knowing how it should taste in the first place! LOL

This is a time for the nation to heal yet many on the opposite site of govt - both current & former operatives, are making this a political game. There will be an appropriate time for recriminations just not now. Voters must remember not just the event but how our leaders have responded! #auspol

🔥🔥🔥

Why can’t we legislate this in Australia? I mean seriously, the amount of space taken up by car parks would make this really sensible and will help bring some needed shade to our cars during hot summer days #auspol

Yesterday, the Victorian parliament voted to enact a statewide treaty with its First Peoples after a long day of debate that stretched into the night. A really good forward step on the pathway of reconciliation - now the test is to see it in action. #auspol www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...

I guess if I *had* to pick my favorite part of the video the president posted where he’s a big boy pilot and he pew pew pews his poop all over everyone, it would be the part where he shits on the American flag?

These watches appear to be ripoffs of famous designs. Likely from some factory that normally produces "homage" watches and they just swapped out the branding.

The right to repair should be a fundamental consumer right. We know devices can be repaired but tech players make it just too onerous. Right to repair can help mitigate environmental degradation #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The largest group in ICE detention is now immigrants with no criminal record, with more than 16,500 currently being held. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about going after the “worst of the worst.” This was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

Too many US journalists are impressed by Charlie Kirk's numbers. But let's not forget who he really was. www.smh.com.au/national/it-...

Noting the reactions amongst #auspol this week, I thought it might be appropriate to remind folks of Andrew Hansen’s genius youtu.be/FtxqohNtLIg

When reporting on racist rallies, it’s important the media don’t fall for the shadowy language used by organisers.

Trump wouldn’t call the National Guard to stop an out-of-control insurrection that led to the violent invasion of the Capitol, with Congress huddled in fear behind locked doors and under tables. But he’s sending an invasion of armed Guardsmen to DC to…defend against…hoagie throwers?

Always nice to see things happen out of the goodness of the everyday person's heart. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I think we need to stop obsessing over the mushroom murders and turn our attention to the NT coroner’s inquest report into the police shooting and death of Kumanjayi Walker by policeman Zach Rolfe

Grok: "but father, I thought you were a free speech absolutist?"

Mayor Karen Bass standing on business🔥 His name is Senator ALEX Padilla.

Why do I get the feeling that what we are seeing is a potential repeat of Bush/Blair’s “weapon of mass destruction” in 2003? Saddam Hussein was not a good person (duh!) but in any war, it is typically the innocent that suffer the most! Hopefully AU doesn’t get dragged into this inadvertently #auspol

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Melbourne is still the most livable city in Australia. Take that Cookers. 😆 #AusPol www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

You have to respect the sheer economics professor of this

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

This has been a long time coming. Let’s not pretend that much has been America first. For more than 20 years they have enjoyed the hegemony following the disintegration of the USSR and now they are withdrawing from the “rules based order” that they drove/developed. #auspol

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Ok, MT has beef with Scummo (obvs!). But it is more proof that the latter was one of (if not) the most incompetent PM in 🇦🇺 history. He dumped an ongoing sub program for one that tested our sovereignty. And now the unreliable Trump govt is wreaking havoc on our defence capabilities. #auspol

Doesn’t surprise me one bit. The current US administration lacks reliability. If they scrap it, Australia might have dodged a bullet even if it means that we’re back to the drawing board. #auspol

The Trump-Musk soap opera continues. Screenshot extract from The Guardian.

It has arrived though ... looks different but intent is not ... www.newsweek.com/la-protestor...

"Australia needs to rethink its relationship with the US. We've done quite well maintaining a wary, non-trusting trade relationship with China. We now need a wary, non-trusting security alliance with the US, if that's even possible." @alankohler.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

And it will be even more important now that Nine’s Lauren Tomasi was shot with a rubber bullet while reporting on the LA protests. PM @albomp.bsky.social will have to tread cautiously but firmly to assert Australia’s sovereignty.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

The government should Robodebt Morrison’s award unless he can provide receipts going back to 2009
