Thanks to people like Pauline Hanson. People like her, who are cruel to people just for the sake of it, or even worse just for her career so she can rake in money, are beyond contempt.

I want a government that cares about its people. cares about housing, cares about health & education, cares about our future. This flag-waving anthem bullshit is the last thing I care about. How out of touch can the liberals be?

Dr Jeremy Walker details the “enormous war chest” of Advance & lists funders inc Gina Rinehart, James Packer, IPA board, Woodside’s Charles Goode & “the priv foundation of Jillian Segal” - who pay Advance to “flood social media with aggressive Far Right disinformation”🔥 #auspol

Thinking of Jon Kudelka and those who are in Tasmania today (awful place, never go there) attending his farewell. So very sad that we will never see another new, brilliant toon from him. Love to his family and friends. 🤍

Anyone who has worked in government and private enterprise knows that government is unbelievably more efficient and productive than the private sector, it isn't even a close call Government at all levels has had many decades of having to over deliver with short falls in budgets, hence efficient

Share and spread and share and spread and share and discuss and spread and share and discuss. . .

Good to see the Libs under Taylor and Hume have decided to fight with One Nation for 35%-40% of the vote an leave the rest to Labor, the Greens and Teals.

No need for quotas

Editorial: Most of Jon Kudelka's cartoons are still relevant because too little has changed and a lot has become worse. He is survived by his wife, Maggie, his children, Kay and Oskar, and a country that badly needs people like him. satpa.pe/etnEPc6

All of us in Farrer need to think carefully. 2 days after the shocking incident at Bondi, a pamphlet was placed in my letterbox, it was straight from Thomas Sewell's website. I live in a town of less than 3,000, where Sky news appears to be compulsory viewing. Don't let racism win this race #auspol

A landlord on 3AW rang to say he was going to sell his 10 investment properties because he’s furious at the Vic government. “…that’s 10 houses no longer available for rent.” Those homes don’t vanish into thin air, dopey. Another investor or owner occupier buys it. Fantastic. That’s the point.

These people are terrifying.

Historically, the National Party existed to advocate for the concerns of regional Australians, writes Helen Haines. Increasingly, their view is fixed on the big end of town, rather than the small country town. satpa.pe/SYPotPZ

Angus ‘Born to the Manor’ Taylor, like conservatives everywhere, just wants a free for all with no responsibilities or care for looking after society. This is his policy, so apt for a lazy unimaginative man: “We need less government, less spending, less taxes, less regulation and less regulators”.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Ooof.

Is it 1981?

Not a story you will see many MSM national newspapers leading on. Their owners would never approve.

Absolutely we should fear terrorism and seek to prevent it. But we should also fear those who use either real terrorism or bogus claims about terrorism to boost their own powers, restrict our freedoms and corrode our democracy. Both present major threats to public life.

John Howard brought in a tax policy that delivers 59% of the benefit to the richest 1%. It truly is time to ditch the Capital Gains Tax 50% discount www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

Oh, so this is what Phil Thompson looks like. Still rings no bells. I recognise our local member ‘Mr Speaker’ Wallace. Look at the arrogance in the stances of Hastie and Hamilton.

Lovely by Albanese to acknowledge Jon Kudelka (he’d probably hate it, but bugger it - he deserves it) live.thepoint.com.au

Depending on how you define it, there can be a debate about who was our 'worst' PM. But, in terms of enduring damage, no-one can beat John Howard.

The award-winning cartoonist Jon Kudelka died in Hobart on Sunday, aged 53. Over 30 years, his work resisted the polarisation of the contemporary Australian media.

Any Australian journalist asked Herzog where he was between the 13-17th of December 2014? If I were in a position to be confused with someone in the Epstein files that shared my last name in an email with other Israeli identities about coming to Pedo Island, I would jump at the chance to answer.
