So … any country in the world ok with those?

Jeez, I wonder if the dickhead who wrote that column might have had anything to do with helping ferment that at all? 🙄

I know it is very wrong of me, and I will try to shake it off because we do need good opposition parties, but the federal Liberals and Nationals just give such good schadenfreude. Phillip Hankin, Camberwell The Age, letters

They’ve finally released more Epstein files ….. Jeez, that Melania movie must be really bad if they needed this as a distraction.

All that you have to know about the Epstein Files is that if you had the mentions Donald Trump has you wouldn't be able to work with children, or even get a job, never mind run the country.

The Academy should troll Trump big time by handing out an Oscars Peace Prize this year to Robert De Niro and/or Mark Hammil and or Mark Ruffalo

Reading this in Margaret Pomeranz voice

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

Tyranny

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

Every accusation is a confession, Chapter 3,527.

Activists unveiled a giant portrait of five-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab in Barcelona on the second anniversary of her killing. Hind was trapped in a car and targeted at close range by Israeli forces in Gaza after they had killed her relatives.

I just emailed the PM’s office and also rang my local member I got a good response from the local members office I reckon we need to email every Labor party person we can find To stop Herzogs visit

Irony is dead

Good stuff apnews.com/article/phil...

Melissa McIntosh is more worried about kids singing about being locked up than kids being locked up.

Why introduce Hate Speech legislation then invite someone to Australia who literally wrote hate speech ON CAMERA and ON AN ARTILLERY SHELL that would be directed at Gazan civilians??? FFS someone ask him this direct question.

This is so unhinged

The Government’s invitation for President Herzog to visit must be rescinded - it will cause immense distress to many who have lost relatives in Gaza. This is a time to build social cohesion not blow it out of the water ! 💦

Just your regular reminder that John Howard never pushed back against Pauline Hanson and One Nation policies. He embraced them, which is how he outflanked them, while also setting the stage for what the Liberals are today. The myth that he 'pushed back' truly needs to die.

Uses for the flag. My @smh @theage cartoon

On Jan 26, an explosive device was allegedly thrown into a crowd of peaceful protesters in Perth. Acts of violence or attempted violence like this are unacceptable. This sort of event should be viewed as an act of terrorism and treated with the gravity it deserves by state and federal police forces.

The folly of inviting Israel’s President, Isaac Herzog, to Australia. My column for the ABC.

If you were going to hold any religious institution in Australia to account, you’d start with the Catholic church

Australia needs a political party to serve the people in regional areas, to represent them on pressing issues of climate change, dangerous heat, food prices, water use, health & maternity care access, fire-fighting, arts budgets & transport issues. We could call it, I dunno, the Country Party?

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

Weather outlook. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Evidence Labor takes its new broad yet draconian hate speech laws very seriously. Israel’s president Isaac Herzog can sign bombs and appear in a UN genocide conclusion, yet still not qualify as a hate preacher and can traipse around Australia. Relax though. We can still social cohesion etc etc

Record breaking electricity demand in both Victoria and Sth Australia yesterday. Wind & solar performed very well, reducing residual demand by 28% & 58% respectively. 4th highest ever demand on the NEM as a whole, with wind & solar reducing residual demand by 30% Here's stats from post 2023 data

HELL YES FUCK UP OUR TECH COMPANIES MONEY TALKS

You often will hear media types talk about how Trump does a lot more media than other Presidents. That's because Trump knows he can make stuff up and no one will call him on it. Every other president had to worry if they got an adjective wrong because the NYT would run a front page about it.

speaking of UNHR High Commissioner findings on mass incarceration of First Nations peoples on their own Country, a quote from federal Liberal Party politician Andrew Bragg on RN this morning: “there is only one group of Australians who are living in cages effectively and that is Australian Jews.”

the @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social calls on Albanese to rescind the initiation to Isaac Herzog

As @parkermolloy.com asks in this brilliant piece, “What part of this was hard to see coming?” In the Australian context, pretty telling that it was @aunz.theconversation.com that had the space for that kind of evidence-based analysis. www.readtpa.com/p/this-is-li...

When I wrote about Project 2025 in April 2024, literally all I was asked by mainstream Australia media was to “prove” the link to Trump. Very few took the answer seriously. But *all* of this was observable and *could have been planned for* by allies of the United States.

Remember when it was only metaphorical?

Racism is so entrenched in Australia that when someone throws a bomb into a peaceful protest, of 2000 First Nations Peoples and their allies, that we call it unacceptable instead of what it actually is, terrorism.

Obviously all the those people at March for Australia rallies radicalised that guy in Perth so those rallies should be banned, because that's the way it works, right Chris Minns?

The guy who took $50k in a paper bag from border security contractors has been sent to lead the crack down on “illegals” because the other guy wasn’t doing it right.
