The controversy engulfing the #BBC underscores the powerful forces that seek to undermine public broadcasting & that have also weakened the ABC. Pandering to those forces never works. Extract below from Working for the Brand.

Here’s a mentally ill man literally living in a fantasy land of his own making trying to gaslight the world. He’s constantly sane washed and the ramblings are ignored or rewritten. Meanwhile legacy media beats up on the #BBC for a technicality in editing as if it absolves his J6 incitement. Crazy.

1) Caving on the shutdown proves Trump’s assertion that Democrats were the problem and that he was right to remain strong despite pressures 2) His takeaway for the next fight will be that Democrats will eventually cave as long as he holds out and refuses to negotiate

Whitlams legacy lives on

No it’s fucking not @nytimes.com . It’s the most ridiculous global gaslighting project by a man who utters lies like breathing. You and the majority of legacy media just play along like dumb vessels. This is the darkest of times.

So good to hear Kerry O’Brien’s take on the 1975 dismissal. “It was a political crisis (of Malcolm Fraser’s making) NOT a constitutional crisis”… #shamefasershame #RNBreakfast

Conditions for Palestinian's are "horrific by intention", which is acceptable for our government who still refuses to abide by the genocide convention, cut all ties with and punish Israel Held underground without sunlight to any charge since January #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

The corrupt buffoon Trump is driving America completely in the wrong direction on energy, dooming them to future failure. Guess who Australia’s conservative coalition are following off the cliff. 😏 A Flood of Green Tech From China Is Upending Global Climate Politics www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/c...

It’s fucking ridiculous that the #BBC are purging their leaders kowtowing to Trump ideologues and cheerleaders. Of course Trump inciting the J6 riots. No sane person would deny it. If anything they should be sacked for their pro Israel bias and giving Reform party populism a soft run.

Watching SBS news and their extensive coverage of the scary destructive force of the Philippines typhoon. This is the new normal, so it’s with anger I think of National party fat cats like Barnaby Joyce waving away climate change like it’s a joke or someone else’s problem. 😡

It was totally working. They were going to have to blow up the damned filibuster.

1/2 The pattern is clear. Whether it's - ATO call centres - welfare debt collection - employment services - aged care - childcare.... *Every* time governments have contracted out or privatized public services; the result is poor quality and worse outcomes. But neoliberals never learn. #auspol

The mayor of Tamworth Council is a very old mate of Barnaby Joyce's and a National party member No surprises this backward collection of red-necks drags their council to court on their ratepayers' money to oppose a wind farm - and even then can't get their legal arguments right

Hard to see @schumer.senate.gov being able to stay in leadership after this or in the senate, he was not the man for this moment

So as far as I can tell, weak ass Democrats are going to reward grotesquely feckless, inhuman Republicans and give them and their corrupt President a political win. Look at what they were doing FFS 👇🏼😒

Epstein Arena does have a ring about it… 🤔

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

John Laws is dead. One of Australia's most successful broadcasters. As a teenager I rang his show. We argued for 10mins on air. He hung up on me with the words "you're obviously a loser in life & going nowhere. Goodbye."

NSW Police go out of their way to approve a Neo Nazi rally — then Premier Minns uses the “stuff up” as an excuse for *more* laws restricting free speech. The whole thing stinks of a blatantly obvious stitch-up by vested interests. Pathetic. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

I recall the orange convicted felon once saying people would stand in long lines begging for food if Kamala Harris became President. Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty. Endless projection. I hate him.

Trump runs America like a mob boss, dangling federal funds to extort votes, pardoning cronies while persecuting foes, turning democracy into a protection racket. #TrumpCrimeFamily

Even without the Shutdown, the Trump/GOP 'vision' for America is even greater #inequality, #poverty, and cuts to the few remaining public services. All justified by white nationalist eugenics thinking which blames the victims for their own suffering. Racist cruelty as policy.

The last time I heard anything about Graham Richardson was how he was fighting against the inclusion of girls at Cranbrook- one of Australia’s most expensive & exclusive schools and the place he sent his son. Such a Labor man
