I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Just your regular reminder that John Howard never pushed back against Pauline Hanson and One Nation policies. He embraced them, which is how he outflanked them, while also setting the stage for what the Liberals are today. The myth that he 'pushed back' truly needs to die.

"housing stress and #homelessness are getting worse while absurdly generous tax breaks drive up home prices and supercharge #inequality in our society”. If the Albanese govt fails to address this in #Budget2026, "no-one left behind" will stand as one of the great failed promises for Labor. #auspol

I kind of love the idea of a bunch of camper vans rolling thru Rose Bay

While the dictionary may suggest that terrorism is when anyone uses unlawful violence for political means, many understand that the application of the term becomes impacted by 'other factors'... chaser.com.au/general-news...

If you were going to hold any religious institution in Australia to account, you’d start with the Catholic church

As a recipient of a wrongful Robodebt and someone that endured 18 months of harassment from the Government and then private debt collectors I am furious nobody has been punished over this illegal scheme. I’m mostly angry and heartbroken for those who found the harassment far too great.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Trump once triggered a federal inquiry because an escalator embarrassed him at the UN. Ilhan Omar was assaulted and immediately kept doing her job. Draw your own conclusions about who belongs representing the people.

Scott, whose personal pastor was Brian Houston, is well-placed to determine how and by whom other people's religions should be run

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Bad guys with guns. My @smh cartoon.

Really interesting and illuminating. The ABC doing its job.

Heatwaves kill more Australians than floods, fires and cyclones combined. If we named them, we could treat them as the public health emergencies they are. Should we name them after the fossil fuel companies that contribute to them? Tell me here: www.moniqueryan.com.au/heatwave_pet...

The second verse of the national anthem includes the lines: “For those who’ve come across the seas We’ve boundless plains to share” #JustSaying #auspol.

Lots of good people in Australia. #auspol #InvasionDay #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe [🎞️ David Brophy]

I say it every single year. No one should receive an Australia Day Honour for work that they are paid to do. Also, politicians should be banned from receiving them.

This is how you illustrate an article about extreme heat. None of this 'day at the beach' bullshit www.theguardian.com/environment/...

😕

Political history is set to be rewritten with both Labor and Liberal parties pretending that their pissweak or absent climate policies have nothing to do with these dangerous conditions. And most mainstream media aiding and abetting that shameful denial. #ClimateCrisis #auspol

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Looking forward to the AFR's column on how people on Newstart can avoid mutual obligations

We should start naming heatwaves after fossil companies The Santos Heatwave The Woodside Heatwave etc

Excellent primer on the Atlas Network and it’s impact on Australia www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

15 people shot on Bondi Beach and the government introduced new legislation within days. 1 man killed by a king hit, government introduced new legislation within days. 2 or more women killed every week at the hands of partners or former partners and …. crickets. Their priorities are wrong!

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is: In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

How the fuck do we live in a place where 60+ women are killed every year including 4 in just the past few days yet there’s no National Day of Mourning or prominent lapel pins or sobbing politician speeches or Special Envoy or Royal Commission or endless media commentary for THEM? #NewsCorpse

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..." Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.

‘The leader of the government party negotiated with the leader of opposition party and she agreed to his terms, so this is very much Albanese’s fault’ is a cognitive dissidence not even my ex could manage

Time to start collecting evidence to get that Advance group proscribed as a hate group. They won't be able to help themselves based on the quality of the clowns in it. Leopards and faces makes for the best statements
