One thing that astonishes me about the Herzog visit is that Israel has murdered more journalists than any other state in the 21st century, and he hasn’t faced a single question about this (to my knowledge) from the Australian media

What're the odds that Hastie will do a Scomo and steal the leadership leaving Taylor to wear the reputation of orchestrating a coup against the first female Liberal leader?

Wow... wait until he gets in

"Once my kids head home after Xmas, I want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose,” Musk wrote. Epstein, referencing Musk's then twice bride Talulah Riley, replied that “the ratio on my island might make Talilah uncomfortable.” “ not a problem for Talulah,” Musk replied.

This Angus Taylor, ICYMI. We still don't know where that money went btw - bc Cayman Islands.

That's extorting for clemency not appealing for it.

What a winker!

Jon Kudelka, much-loved Australian political cartoonist, dies aged 53

Good news

Pauline Hanson once said of Cory Bernardi: 'I'm glad you're out of parliament, you wouldn't have a bloody clue’ And she described Barnaby Joyce as being as ‘useless as tits on a bull’. So, clueless and useless seem to be the joining criteria for PHON.

JD Vance was greeted by a chorus of boos and jeers when he appeared at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony, but American viewers would have been unaware of the reception. The boos were neither heard nor remarked upon during the NBC broadcast.

Remember when the United States flooded war materials into the UK & Soviet Union to fight fascism? And remember when the fascists decided to team up against the USA so this guy was sent to end them? That’s the USA the world respected.

Let's get this straight. Adani donates $600k the Qld LNP before election. After the election, Qld LNP ends legal action over $400 MILLION in unpaid royalties. Dodgy, dodgy, dodgy. Thread. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

FMD, how could he justify this? Trying to regain lost power me thinks. Joining the world's unelected undeserving unwanted power brokers. I wonder if King Charles has joined too? theconversation.com/if-pope-leo-...

The lust some economists have for higher interest rates (and higher unemployment) is rather ghoulish

Few remember Ashby as a Liberal staffer making erroneous claims of sexual harassment against House Speaker Peter Slipper to flip the balance of power in 2012. His political duplicity knows no bounds. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_A...

After being detained by ICE and held for more than a week in a Texas immigration detention center, five-year-old Liam Ramos and his father are back home in Minneapolis after a judge ordered their release.

Here is BRETT RATNER, the scumbag director for the film "Melania " ... All cozy with Epstein and an unidentified teenage child #EpsteinFiles SO MANY VILE SCUMBAGS and this one a friend of PEDO POTUS and his "SweetPea" wife as Ghislaine Maxwell likes to call her We Stand With the Victims

Newly released files show a sworn FBI tip alleging Trump threatened a girl with “disappearing” and said he could have her entire family killed. Signed under penalty of perjury. Why isn’t this front page news? #EpsteinFiles #Trump #Accountability #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AwMacA1UYTiy...

This explains why Virginia Giuffre was so reluctant to name #Trump #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Labor has invited the head of the country that is still doing this to millions of occupied people for a state visit - it’s hard to believe really.

Every single “national security” law since 9/11: “cripes this is the type of stuff Hitler or Stalin would’ve loved” “Don’t exaggerate, that’s not how it will be used”

you know what we need a royal commission into? retailers asking for your phone number when you buy something so they can "send you an electronic copy of your receipt" and whether they're actually only using it for that purpose.

The coverage of One Nation this week has been some of the softest coverage of any political force, ever. It's been a shocking week. I think people would be shocked to realise how it compares to what journalists were asking Pauline Hanson 25 years ago. www.lamestream.com.au/how-the-medi...

Someone asked how many contracts I have as a commercial cleaner. I said 3. He asked how many hours a week is that. I said 50. He asked what else I did. My reason for UBI in one conversation.

I'm as shocked as you are.

Demented old man Trump hung photo of himself & Putin in White House Kinda like if FDR had hung a photo of himself, Hitler & Tojo in the WH But FDR would never have done that bc he wasn’t a traitor to the United States of America & the Free World www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Alex Pretti was forcefully taken to the ground by federal immigration agents after kicking out the tail light of their vehicle during a Minneapolis protest 11 days before he was shot and killed by Border Patrol officers, videos that emerged Wednesday show.

An excellent idea from Monique Ryan @mon4kooyong.bsky.social (and article)... give heatwave events categories like cyclones and name them. But more specifically, name them after fossil fuel giants that have created the problem and continue to exacerbate it. www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2026...

Almost all salmon in Australia is from Tasmania, and the industry there is essentially unregulated - and dangerously unhealthy. Do not eat it.

Today, Australia recognises as its national day, a day that corresponds with British colonisation. We are the only country that “celebrates” colonisation in this way (plenty of countries celebrate independence from the British). It’s a painful day for so many, and we really can do better.

The Trump administration has rapidly escalated from extra-judicial killing of its external enemies to extra-judicial murder of its internal enemies. Gross disregard of life, rule of law and basic human dignity are not values we share. We must urgently decouple ourselves from this regime.

But will we charge them a resource tax, or will we just let them dig it up and ship it out, and get down on our hands and knees and thank them for throwing us a few jobs? www.futura-sciences.com/en/geologist...
