Here's @ronnisalt.bsky.social. "The Israel lobby gets the royal treatment"

Take a look at how clever, decisive action by Mark Carney is paying off for Canada after the #Trump insults & threats. Wouldn't it be great if Australia had a government worthy of the descriptions "clever" & "decisive", instead of another Defence stuff-up? #auspol open.substack.com/pub/theplane...

Interesting news about "Tommy Robinson" who was recently having a fine old chat with Pauline Hanson over in England. thedailybritain.co.uk. #PHON

Thanks to The Gherk for this graphic on how to spot nonsense online.

The dismissals leave the federal election body vacant as Trump presses for broader changes to US voting rules.

I know it's become overplayed and cliche to keep referencing Veep when it comes to the Trump administration, but this is a Veep episode.

The House has finally started the debate, Nat Cook is laying down the rules for debating the bill. I'll be adding up people to each side as they talk. As an aside, Chantelle Thomas (ON) has immediately fucked up parliamentary procedure (and fashion law). #saparli #auspol
