I really hope Angus Taylor wins the Liberal leadership. I need the laughs.

Loving Australia does not mean denying its history. You don’t get to cherry-pick only the comfortable parts and call it progress. Loving Australia means wanting a national day that includes everyone, not demanding silence from those it excludes. #ChangeTheBloodyDateAlready

"Traffic lights are out at the intersection of North Rd and the Princes' Highway in Clayton. That's bad news for Albanese"

Thrilled to receive AC today of all days. I couldn’t cope with this heat without air conditioning.

Remember, this is the coolest summer of the rest of your life…

RESIST

the role of the media class in enforcing the notion that the oppressed are supposed to be decorous when faced with injustice, brutality and persecution is so fkn sickening

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01... It’s taken libertarians 80 years to dismantle the social contract. Today is the day to start rebuilding it. Socialism shouldn’t just be a reaction to the enormous wealth divide, it needs to be understood as the best economic solution to social cohesion.

New tourism campaign just dropped “Come to Australia. You won’t be disappeared‼️”

Law & Order Trump series “In their criminal justice system, the people are oppressed by two separate yet equally important groups: ICE, who commit crime; and regime officials, who refuse to prosecute the offenders and smear the victims.” Bup bum

Is there anything more modern-day-Labor than Richard Marles defending Australia troops against slander without mentioning the slander was committed by Donald Trump? Surface level concern underpinned by utter cowardice and complicity.

THE WARNING SIGNS WERE HEAVY. ​My blood ran cold the day I heard these words: ​"We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be." ​Kevin Roberts President of the Heritage Foundation July 2, 2024

This is the political strategic equivalent of punching yourself in the face over and over and over again.

It doesn’t take a lot of words to explain why the Coalition is imploding. Just one. Queensland. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

In 2015 Australia wasn't too far way from its own version (precursor) of ICE. Operation Fortitude was a joint Aust Border Force/Vic Police operation to crackdown on "antisocial behaviour" and "visa fraud". Only a leaked press release and strong public outcry/protest prevented it.

Sussan Ley has the full support of the Carlton FC board…

Checking in on X, the everything site.

“OMG, they’re shooting white people,” tells you everything that is wrong with America. More than 1200 people were murdered by US police last year. 63% of victims were people of colour. 50% of victims didn’t have a gun. 25 officers had murdered before. 38 times police shot into moving vehicle.

When we're done abolishing ICE...the police and carceral state need to be next. For decades, police brutalized marginalized communities across the country as we all looked away because "tough on crime." That's why they thought they'd get away with this.

On Christmas Day my former-Howard-staffer B-I-L announced, “Sussan Ley will be the next Prime Minister, migration is all people care about. Bondi ended Albo!” I’ll wait till next Christmas to remind him of his words.

Which values does Australia share with the US regime, @albomp.bsky.social? Asking for Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

My favourite fail from Moriarty is the $45 billion Hunter Frigate scandal. Under him Defence didn’t assess the project for value for money and ‘lost’ the records explaining why they chose UK’s BAE to deliver the mess … but there are so many it’s hard to choose. www.anao.gov.au/work/perform...

Hello @albomp.bsky.social?

People in the real world actively care about and hate it when some prick over-relying on fossil gas makes their grocery bills skyrocket. They hate it when extending a coal plant fucks the atmosphere in a way that washes away their easter campsite. Doesn't matter what we call it!!!!

'Israel’s advert has been appearing on Google in Britain when users search for “Doctors Without Borders”, “Médecins Sans Frontières”, or “MSF” ... Israeli government has also been paying for adverts in Britain attacking UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese' www.declassifieduk.org/israel-pays-...

“We gotta get the coal out of the ground before the floods and fires make it impossible to mine,” Prime Minister Albanese told cabinet.

Truly. I am begging white liberals to stop pronouncing the death of democracy or America. This place has always been cruel to the people it knows it can exploit for profit. The only change is that you're on that list now too.

Board of ‘Peace’ by Led Donkeys.

We spent 20 years at war in Afghanistan looking for a Saudi who was living in Pakistan. Our military leaders are not fit for purpose.

It is unbelievable that Australian taxpayers are paying to send two former Defence Ministers, now weapons industry lobbyists, to the UAE and Saudi Arabia to spruik their clients and arms sales into the region. Unbelievable except it’s business as usual for Labor and the Coalition

Can’t believe that Parliament is being recalled to discuss the scourge of men bashing/killing their partners

ABC Indigenous doesn’t mince words

But watermelon pins. “Leaked chatlogs, photographs and other evidence analysed by this masthead show that members of the NSN have been in close contact with at least 30 neo-Nazi extremist groups overseas since forming five years ago. Nine of those groups are listed internationally as terror cells.”

Which country will grant Trump asylum? Qatar? Saudi Arabia? Russia? Hungary?

The Federal Court has ruled that Victoria Police’s declaration of the entire Melbourne CBD for six months was unlawful and invalid, and that Victoria Police did not give proper consideration to Victoria’s Charter of Human Rights. www.hrlc.org.au/updates/desi...

This is an important finding.

Australia’s Victoria Police are acting illegally: “Federal Court Judge Bennett determined the declaration was invalid & unlawful. “In her reasons Justice Bennett stated Victoria Police had failed to properly consider s13 of the Charter of Human Rights, which protects a person's right to privacy.”

This is a person @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social Malinauskas (and others) are in bed with. A colleague of Isaac Herzog with whom they are also in bed. Let. That. Sink. In. #auspol #GazaGenocide

These are documented massacres of First Nations people between 1788-1930 Happy Australia Day

Legal groups says Australia obliged to investigate Israel's President Herzog for his role in genocidal war on Gaza.
