I always have time for otter based content.

An interview with @janecaro.bsky.social which (again) explains what Australians have been doing to destroy egalitarian values with a terribly segregated schooling system. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05... #Auspol #Nswpol

1/2 The wonderful Loud Jew Collective has been designated not Jewish enough to speak at the Royal Commission, so it’s on us to spread their media release. The RC is promoting the establishment messaging and silencing dissent. Please share this. #Auspol

And once in parliament, of course he will be leader of the opposition, a job that allowed him to deploy his true talent: destruction. #auspol Exclusive: Abbott’s plot to return to parliament www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au

It’s astounding that one of the MAGA tropes is to declare almost anything that is not MAGA as “communist”. Do Trump and Musk realise the appalling optics of this photo? #trump

Matt Doran: “They are chanting some pretty vile, racist slogans. Things like "death to the Arabs" and “may your villages burn". “You can see some of the people who are here, they're more interested in trying to hide how they’re behaving than actually trying to justify their behaviour.”

Good on @crikey.com.au (and others) for not letting the government hide this under the coverage of the budget. #auspol 'Deeply disrespectful': 1,049 days after Peta Murphy’s report on gambling reform, the Albanese government has responded www.crikey.com.au/2026/05/13/m...

How can anyone question Angus Taylor’s leadership? He was a management consultant, went to a good University, went to a good school, came from a good family. If he’s not entitled to lead the Liberals, who is? #auspol #liberalparty

Well, at least we won’t have to put up with 6 months of ON and their supporters whining about how the AEC is corrupt etc etc etc. #auspol #farrer

The Liberals are always ready to tout themselves as the party of law and order, etc, but it seems that when it comes to this, it’s just another culture war. ‘BRS is kind of like a high priest’: How the soldier split the Libs www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au

The bombing will continue until peace prevails. #trumpdisgrace

Save this post if you want. If Tony Abbott become Lib President he will not be able to stop himself from continually intervening in policy and preselections. Eventually the wider party will oust him in a coup d’état before the end of his term. #auspol #liberalparty

Happy Star Wars day to all who celebrate.

The Nepean by election has ended up with a Lib win, followed by and Independent. Are we going to have another week of “but One Nation” stories? The Liberal Party is a rabble at the moment. But the real threat to them is not ON. It’s the plethora of centrist, level headed independents. #auspol

The thing about Pauline’s plane is that it her detractors will deplore it, and her supporters will not care about being subservient to Australia’s richest women. Pauline Hanson boasts about ‘sexy’ new private plane gifted by Gina Rinehart and $2m in donations #auspol

“When Tony Abbott tried to make major savings in education and health spending, the backlash was so great almost every proposal was dropped. If Angus Taylor wants the Liberal party to be ‘the party of lower taxes’, he must identify what he is going to cut.” satpa.pe/BjpgywE

Anyone else getting the feeling that the US Secret Service aren’t 100% committed to the job? #trumpisanembarrassment #trump

Appalled but not surprised to see govt caving to the gas companies. This just makes me more determined to go harder on our campaign to get a fair return on our gas through a 25% tax on gas export revenue. Head to ourgas.com.au to add your voice. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

This is the core reason the Libs (and the Nats) have engineered their own demise. Where have they lost most of their votes? The centre. (The tge ALP and tge Teals) What is their response? We must go to the right! And no one votes for them. “Absolutely crazy” indeed. #auspol

You mean the superannuation tax breaks? No? You mean the CGT discount? No? You mean the fossil fuel subsidies? No? You mean the free gas for multinationals? No? You mean the failure of the PRRT? No? You mean the tax dodging trusts? No? You mean the lack of a wealth tax? No? No you mean the NDIS FFS

Everyone keeps saying that it is modeled on the French Arc de Triomphe. Trump hates the French. I’m thinking he is modeling it on this:

Tell me again how you are pro-life and anti vaccine … #vaccineswork #Pro-science

All these “doctors as Jesus” memes that are taking the piss out of Trump, who posted it in all seriousness, have a definite “The Handmaids’s Tale” feel to them. Disconcerting.

Has there ever been an American President more segregated from the people he purports to represent? #trumplaughingstock #failedpresident

Can’t help but see the similarities.

You just know that the cooker right will scream foul if the risibly is overturned, but will keep quiet if the result stands. #auspol

I needed a good news story today and thought you might like it, too.

1. Anyone thinking that Angus is a “John Howard” liberal is mistaken. Could you imagine Howard doing this? Remember Howard’s Battlers? A lot of them were immigrants who came here looking for a better life. And they are part of the exodus from the Liberal party in the suburbs. #auspol #lnpfail

Does that make Trump “Trump, but without brains”?

If this is winning, what does losing look like? #tiredofwinning

#artofthedeal #4dchess

I sat in bed this morning and my wife and I watched history on my phone. What a time to be alive. #history #nasa #science (Ps I live in Perth)

Tony Abbott. PM for less than 2 years. Voted out of office by his one party. Lost his seat. (Not retired) Thinks he understands the mind of every previous PM. Yeah, right. #auspol

There is a narrative that prosecuting Ben Roberts-Smith will be “devisive”. This is true. It will divide those who believe that the law should apply equally to everyone, and those that believe that select people should get away with murder. #auspol @dailymailau.bsky.social

@leopuglisi6.bsky.social great article in Crikey today. Everyone else: Thexarticle is paywalled but I 100% recommend subscribing.

Funny that we have all these people who are finding it incomprehensible that Ben Roberts-Smith has been arrested, but we’re silent for years as David McBride was arrested, tried and sentenced in secret for blowing the whistle on how heavy handed the ADF were being about chasing war crimes.

US Middle East policy: War crimes will continue until peace is achieved. #trump #tacotuesday #middleeast #genocide

Are you tired of winning yet?

“Speaking exclusively to The Saturday Paper, Matt Canavan details his conviction in taking on Pauline Hanson and One Nation but admits he is not familiar with their policies.” To be fair, even One Nation don’t know their policies. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic... @thesaturdaypaper.com.au

Angus Taylor, leader of a political party, is not very good at politics. But who else is there? If there was one thing in his pitch to be leader, it was the belief that he should be leader. #auspol www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au

So if the head of the US Chaplaincy corps sided with the Pope and was sacked …

France: defying tyranny since 1789. #vivalaFrance #longlivetherevolution

Now imagine if an apartheid era South African politician had said this at the Press Club. There would have been riots in the streets. #auspol #zionist

Dutton is so use to media outlets reporting on him and the LNP with little if any critical analysis (not just the Murdoch media) that the moment there is a journalist acting as anything more than a stenographer, he sees it as aggressive. #auspol #ausvotes25

🙄 Pot … kettle … black

Maybe Dutton should take up golfing? #auspol

Of course this does not apply to religious schools (unless you’re Muslim) www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Yes but the Liberals will call back asking for her husband. #auspol
