Cool change yeah baby!

Crackdown. My @smh @theage cartoon.

There is no quick fix. I think we have to agree on the basic principles • No Australian citizen should serve in another country’s military• Donations to third countries should not be tax-deductible • Criticising people’s support for countries involved in crimes against humanity is not racism

I really fail to see what good it can do. It’s been illegal to grab guns and murder people for quite some time. Minns and WA have already strengthened gun laws. Other states need to follow but an RC isn’t part of that. Might do more harm than good.

I hope Dr Abdel-Fattah sues his arse to hell. It’s utterly disgusting how she has been defamed directly by Malinauskas and indirectly, mealy mouthedly by the AWW. Social cohesion is being attacked by those who profess to protect it

Dear Board of the Adelaide Festival, I hope this fax finds you well. Just letting you know that I wrote a book on the history of Australia last year, which I am happy to talk about for many hours to fill any gaps that might have recently opened up in your program. Yours sincerely Tones PS/

Please ensure that I don’t get asked any awkward questions from the audience, as I tend to freeze up a bit when that happens

So do I. WTF is wrong with everybody??! Yes, OK, Bondi was an horrific act of terror committed against innocent ppl. The number of children killed in Gaza during this genocide now surpasses 20,000, according to Save the Children. Where's the outrage for the MURDER of TWENTY THOUSAND CHILDREN??!

And just like that Israel now runs our arts and culture industry

I stand with Randa and everyone standing against hate, genocide, oppression and terror. In all its forms.

Leave Cathy alone - one of this nation's greatest, bravest 'toonists in these difficult times Or come after me too, you fuckers!

#FossilFuel induced Heatwaves are our biggest extreme weather killer and are expected to increase by up to 190% at 2C and up to 444% by 3C. #Auspol #ClimateChange

Geez it’s turned in the cricket after the poms lost a review. The controversial snickometer strikes again😳😳🏏Ian

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

Check out officers lying about what happened when an #ICE officer shot & killed US citizen mother of 4 yr old. BL She eye avoidance to cover lying cap pulled down to shield eyes, shame. Officer in back eyeblocking, looks down shame, side eye hostile, chin raise show of defiance.

Why is the media staying silent about more than a thousand rank-and-file Labor members calling on the govt to rescind its invitation to Israeli Pres Herzog? Is it bcoz they’re too busy making noise about a small group of former Labor MPs calling for a Royal Commission? #auspol

To be honest, a lot of the Oz media is lazy, particularly the right. Some of them can only do their jobs when they’re handed a press release with a list of contacts to interview. It’s part of the reciprocal relationship they’ve developed with politicians thanks to access journalism. Sigh.

#albo #auspol #Australia #MurdochGutterMedia

Despite everything we’ve seen over the past two years, this is probably the most shameful episode in Australian media history/ political collusion. The lead story on the SMH is Albanese’s political opponent, who lost his seat, trying to force the government to back his own pick for a RC. Madness.

Indeed. The question to ask is “who is Frydenburg?” He has no mandate to speak on behalf of anyone. He is a paid lobbyist and a biased observer. How his judgement about this has any weight is utterly baffling. #auspol

Make this POS famous! 🤬

SHUT THE US DOWN. SHUT IT DOWN 🤬🤯

It feels pre-ordained. Rigged. The Australian establishment manoeuvring the nation into a subservient fascist surveillance shithole against the will of the informed populace. The newspapers moving in lockstep with conservatives and Zionists; the ALP capitulating wherever it can.

With America becoming a fascist dictatorship led by a convicted felon, rapist & alleged paedophile we need to politically distance our country from the unfolding US horrors but maintain strong support for the US resistance. Recall our ambassador, cancel AUKUS & review our Pine Gap contract. #auspol

I am grateful to the Catholic family that invited the PM to attend the St Mary’s Cathedral funeral and who called for a ban on the Adler rifle let into the country by Tony Abbott and used to kill innocent Jews at Bondi.

Best of 2025: Rowland should turn back and start again. It's 43 years since FOI came into operation in Canberra, a strike for democracy now undermined by the obsession of modern governments with control. #auspol #FOI

The fact that an RC is happening at all. So dumb. The fact there's a Jewish Envoy at all. (I know there's technically an Islamophobia one, but when do they ever get air time?) These people have permeated every level of our senior businesses and Govts. I'm not as optimistic as you I suppose

There is no end to their demands

"Josh Frydenberg said he opposed Bell’s appointment, without specifying reasons." What a grub.

Trump: "The woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully and viciously ran over the ICE officer. ... It is hard to believe [the ICE officer] is alive but he is now recovering in the hospital." All lies.

The campaign has seamlessly pivoted from demanding the royal commission to demanding the right to handpick the commissioner, next will be the demand to dictate the terms of reference.

Quietly, without much scrutiny, NSW has climbed into the global top 10 rankings of jurisdictions with the most heavy-handed anti-protest laws. The media treats this normal. It’s isn’t. #auspol

😡😡😡😡

The subs we cancelled (at vast cost) were a conventionally powered version of the Barracuda. LMAO.

Cancel AUKUS now. Why are you continuing a Morrison wet dream? Why are you & US lapdog Marles thrusting $800M x 2 into hands of orange lunatic? Wake the frack up Labor.

As @albomp.bsky.social presides over @australianlabor.bsky.social Govt like a caretaker, keen not to rock the boat, and to avoid controversy at all cost - it’s clear he’s drifting towards retirement at his clifftop digs on the Central Coast of NSW, to enjoy its sweeping Pacific Ocean views #auspol

It seems likely that the govt will do a royal commission, so just know they Zionists etc will now shift to "we don't like the terms of reference" "we don't like the the commissioner". The entire point of the calls for the RC was not to get one, but to be able to complain and attack the govt.

OMG, @cathywilcox.bsky.social, you have absolutely NAILED it again! And an additional congratulations for eliciting the boring “AnTi-sEmitIc” wails from the Zionists and the ‘pro-genocide of Palestinians lobby’ (Jewish Australian lobby). You know you have said the right thing when they complain.

"The manifold failures of 26 Australian Royal Commissions since 1980 to do anything much about the underlying sins, wickedness, and malfeasance that they were supposed to address should caution us against a repeat with the Bondi shootings." johnmenadue.com/post/2026/01...

It looks like Albo is going to cave into pressure to hold a RC into the root causes of anti-Semitism in Australia. Are the people pushing the RC going to accept the root causes being Netanyahu, the Israeli gov, the IDF and most of all, their collective brutal murder of over 70,000 Palestinians?

Sussan Ley will claim when she referred to Neo Nazis as “hard left” instead of hard right, it was a slip of the tongue. But it’s more than that. The Liberals don’t want to talk about the RIGHT WING Neo Nazis who are openly antisemite and spread hatred towards immigrants. We need to talk about them.

With hot WX, Trump, and everything else, here's a light-hearted moment. This Model T has been in my (Maternal) family since it was built at Geelong in 1925. One of the first to roll of the production lines. Still going today, 100 years later. My cousin uses it regularly. In Vic High Country.

Unintended consequences of being a hateful rascist. So sad. Too bad.

Sussan Ley gesticulates with both her left hand and her far-left hand

The ABC finally decides that local heatwave/bushfire news is more important than US fuckwittery and foreign interference.

Made me think. A lot, today.

Dear USA: We are disgusted, horrified but disappointingly, not surprised.

Or

Leavitt: "We have a lot of leverage over the remaining Maduro government right now. I know Secretary Rubio is in constant correspondence with them. We're gonna make sure this country aligns with the interests of the United States of America."

IMO #SussanLey is the most dangerous stupid politician at this point in time. Lacking in EQ essential in leadership she continues to use fear & division to retain her position of power as OL. Today she deliberately conflated the far left & Nazi extremism as one. #IstandwithAlbo
