Our Australian mainstream media is just crap. Most of us know that but there is still a huge group of people that get their news from TV news and newspapers. Even online the Guardian and ABC outlet’s are full of Trump and the disintegration of the opposition.

So much irrelevant American news in msm and the Guardian for that matter. Shottings, home invasions, poverty in USA. We have our own issues to contend with that are not being examined. Also, we definitely DO NOTneed to know, and examine, every ignorant word that man says.

“Millions of young people could get a pay boost due to a wages case disputing "junior" rates. Business warns it could cause a collapse in employment.”(ABC) Of course business would threatern the collapse in employment. They dont want to constrict their shareholder payments or their CEO bonus.

I’d like to know what Albanese is doing in Jakarta? He’s not very transparent with the voters. He needs to change this lack of transparency if he wants to get reelected.

“Greens, Nationals and independents are voting for an inquiry into gambling advertising in the Senate”( Guardian) Isn’t that what Peta Murphy did, an inquiry? And the govt pretty much ignored it. Why do they need to do another one?

Good comment here under a Guardian article re ON growth.. "But the signs are all there. Growing inequality. Growing wealth gap. Increasing cost of living. Less access to well-paying jobs. A weak government that serves increasingly the corporate class over its people" #auspol

What is the govt actually doing? News this morning is a lot of analysis, opinions, advice from experts, a saturation of American news. The Coalition. What is the govt doing, thinking, how are they operating. What is their thoughts about Carny, The Peace Board, AUKUS. I don’t really know.

So Kushner announces the rebuilding of Gaza, an economic hub with sky scrapers etc., and nobody blinks an eye!

This is a banger of an ad.

This data is a worry. "Australian billionaires increased their wealth by almost $600,000 a day on average." Aleta Moriarty. #auspol #democracy michaelwest.com.au/the-rise-of-...

When I watch msm, including ABC,I see lots of opposition faces and voices. I hear their opinions. It seems there is less coverage of the actual government. I don’t watch much msm so if I’m wrong can you tell me?

I think about this scene from this great Australian documentary all the time…

The UK Ministry of Defence has just signed a new £240 million contract with Palantir. The U.S. military uses Palantir across its military . Coles supermarkets in Perth and across Australia use Palantir's AI platforms for workforce optimisation and cost-cutting.

Picked up a Western Australia newspaper in a cafe. I just look to see what the others are doing. I’d never buy one. Jesus it’s got worse. They’re not even pretending to be unbiased. Full page adds for Woodside says it all. What despicable rag, just like the rest of Au media.

Palantir Technologies is a controversial American software company that builds data integration and analysis platforms, primarily for government agencies (defense, intelligence) and large commercial enterprises. Founded by Peter Thiel. Now in a Coles supermarkets in Perth WA.

Donald Trump has announced plans for the US navy to build a new generation of warships – known as “Trump-class”. Even more reason to dump AUKUS.

Why is Gina Rinehart advertising her company and herself on Ch7. That’s the worst thing about watching the cricket you also get their slant on things and their deplorable TV show ads.

Horrified by Minns comments on ABC this morning. Peaceful protest does not lead to events like Bondi.

Why are they dragging out Howard again to criticise and berate. And what a useless interview where you couldn’t hear the questions. For fuck sake!

As always, hug your loved ones.

Oh god I love this out of the Saturday Paper. “Pete Hegseth has the face of a man who is pretending to think. In many pictures, his hair looks cleverer than he is.” None of this is actually funny and I wish we would stop aligning ourselves with the USA, even without Trump it’s not a good idea.

Palantir, founded by Peter Thiel, used by the CIA. They call it the “eyes of god”. Is now installed in your local Coles supermarket. Watching you, collecting data, watching the staff. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s there to catch the thieves. It’s not.

I don’t think seeing Marles and Wong on the same podium as Hegseth and Rubio is very reasuring. No Mr Marles we do not share the same values as the USA.

Why Trump will fail on the economy

Australia is spending billions, and putting our sovereignty in danger with the AUKUS pac, while these morons are in charge. It’s not going to get any better soon.

Brilliant, angry and true! David Milner concludes: “The tide is turning, hence the pushback, hence the fascism, so we’re clearly more powerful than they want us to know. Don’t buy their shit.”
