USA turning into a sh*thole country. They’re mostly defined by kleptocratic governments, right?

Social cohesion is such a fuzzy abstraction. I’m sure Tony Abbott for example would have a place for it in his heart, but his definition of it may not look like yours, and his means of achieving it would not look like yours. #auspol

Mmmm, yeah. We want it … all. aje.news/a01q5m

Vale to an amazing man and legendary, brilliant cartoonist. The cartooning community is in mourning today.

Dear Australian Mainstream Media & Politicians, There's a giant, genocidal, war crimes shaped elephant in the room you're all desperately trying to avoid &/pr distract from We. See. You. Fuckers. #Auspol

Does anyone think RBA rate of 3.85% is high? Only those with yuge loans I guess. #auspol

Speers hammering the difference between growth and rate of growth while interviewing Chalmers. Sure, but he’s missed the point - inflation is all about RATE of growth. #auspol #insiders

Throwing good money after bad. FFS listen to the electorate: NO MORE FOSSIL FUELS YOU FOOLS. There will be deadly consequences! 😡

Only way forward is for the Libs to become the New Teals. Spoiler alert: They won’t. #auspol.

So the PM wants us to believe that "healing" and "social cohesion" after the Bondi massacre will be best achieved by the state visit of someone who is not only a genocide enthusiast, but is allegedly an associate of Epstein's. Poor judgment does not begin to describe Albanese's craven stupidity.

Archie, the giant poodle, loves cheese. Tossed him some Brie tho, and not so keen. “What dis?”

Slap in the bloody face when they want to find more carbon to burn as you suffer carbon consequences. Arse move by the Vic gov. #auspol www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/environ...

At least 875 people infected in North Carolina. Mostly a result of stupidity, I think. The disease has a mortality rate of around 0.2%, rising much higher among malnourished kids. Each infected person propagates to around 15 others. www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11...

Images from my backyard in suburban Melbourne. The photons that made this image had been travelling for 56 million years before crashing carelessly into the CMOS detector. What are the odds?

#FOI isn’t a sexy sport, but it is used by engaged citizens, NGOs and media to increase participation in democracy and to scrutinise Govt. @AlboMP’s FOI Amendment Bill is an assault on open government and shows him to be a #transparency fraudster. #auspol

RESCIND THE INVITATION. END COMPLICITY. NO RED CARPET FOR WAR CRIMES. #CANCELHERZOG

Here we are. My @smh @theage cartoon.

AI’s power to generate bullshit at an amazing rate just devalues all media, doesn’t it? Everything becomes junk.

Genocide is fine, so long as it’s one of our friends. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Looks like there’s precisely one Labor MP with principles

The NSW police commissioner admits that the Herzog visit will cause so much animosity that it could hurt communities. That's one of the criteria for cancelling visas under the character test. Instead, he bans protests. Our democracy means nothing. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Everybody wants interest rates to come down. Right now the Reserve Bank’s cash rate is 3.85%. I don’t think that’s high. The big problem is the massive debt that people took on to buy houses at inflated prices makes their personal debt hard to manage. #auspol.

They need to realise this is what a Western nation looks like. It just doesn’t look like Straya did in their 1950s dream. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Rattly old Melbourne bus is so rattly and old it’s almost comical. A symphony of shakes and clatters.

The only people who want house prices to fall are renters, and government always ignores them. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Everybody wants the unaffordable Aussie housing market fixed. Nobody wants the fix - the fix is higher interest rates. #auspol

Al Jazeera uses uncommon honesty in referring to Israel’s genocidal war in the Gaza Strip Our own media could do the same but lacks courage. #auspol aje.news/oc7g0o

Hahaha! Epic!

Rooftop solar turns out to be rescuing the grid in hot weather. You’d never know it from the prices paid for solar feeds. Time for a rooftop solar strike. 3 PM on a hot day, just turn it all off and watch the grid collapse. It’s time for some respect. #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Pretty sure Rowling being a transphobic bigot might have something to do with it.
