Handy guide for reporters … A claim is made about the impact of tax policy. Test: is it true (you find out). If yes: you have a story. If no: it isn’t a story. Reporting government denial of something that isn’t real … that’s also not a story.

100% It is a cruel farce

Eugenics

The AEC needs to drop the hammer on both the party ultimately responsible, and the dipshit that signed their authorisation name to it. Protecting your democracy is like everything else important - if you don't hang the perpetrators in the town square, everyone thinks the costs are worth the effort

I don’t understand how the Albanese government can morally justify keeping the jobseeker rate way below poverty level, when their economy requires that some people need to be unemployed bc “labour market”. I guess morality doesn’t come into it.

For the past couple of months we have been working on this investigation into the NACC’s leadership. What we found was alarming and does not reflect well on the NACC.

I mean, that’s pretty much the plan the government is proposing

It’s difficult to describe the amount of sheer “they wouldn’t do this sort of thing now would they” hand waving in the NACC Robodebt findings

The NACC continues to be a joke

Difficult. My @smh @theage cartoon.

This is why you need to be reading books and writing your own emails, by the way. When you outsource your thinking abilities, you risk turning your brain into soup. Heavy dependence on AI has already been linked with severe cognitive decline. What you don’t use, you will lose.

So according to the NSW Police Minister, the cops lack the emotional maturity and training to be trusted near crowds, and people should be gentle with their precious little feelings. I mean it's something we all knew, it's just bracing for them to admit it.

We knew from the moment we heard it that “social cohesion” would be one of those Orwellian terms which would be used to cover all manner of state sanctioned abuse and deprivation of civic freedoms. It fuels the very unrest it pretends to seek to quell.

Seems the beatings and berating will continue until social cohesion improves.

Disgraceful. Police just acting like common thugs with badges. All they know how to do is escalate things when their wannabe tough guy act doesn't automatically cower everyone in their presence.

As always - remember this is what they do when they know they are being filmed.

lotta white people are seeing racist police brutality for the first time tonight. Please know this is the rule, not the exception. Police do not suddenly learn to be like this at protests.

Moratorium on the good guys dying please. There’s plenty of dickheads out there who would be a far better choice.

Very sad to share the news of this legend of Australian political cartooning, and art. Dear Jon Kudelka has died, and we will be the poorer and more dull for his passing. Sending love and condolences to his family. What a legacy of scorching wit and joyful capturing of life he leaves.

The world is so much poorer for not having Jon Kudelka in it

Vale to an amazing man and legendary, brilliant cartoonist. The cartooning community is in mourning today.

Just remember everyone. He has to have it not happen every day, we only have to have it happen once.

lotta rich people screaming about government spending. Easy solution, Ted. Stop giving billions of our dollars to expensive schools, franking boomers, and landlords. Nothing more inflationary than free money for the rich who produce nothing but speculation and bubbles.

Front page Epstein files story today reveals Steve Bannon told Clive Palmer to spend $60mil on anti-China and anti-climate change ads for the 2019 election. D’ya think this could be why we want our media to ask “who’s behind this & who does it serve?” rather than just reporting “pollie said this”?!

What is being ‘normalised’ through politics and media is abhorrent and dangerous. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Bad guys with guns. My @smh cartoon.

I hope white anglos took some responsibility for Christchurch

Feel like a man throwing a homemade IED into a large crowd at an invasion day rally should be bigger news

to be clear, police actively target Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. The passive voice framing of “disproportionate” impacts on Blak children implies happenstance. Kids in wealthy white areas shoplift, and steal cars, and smoke pot and damage property. They are not policed.

Invasion day. Always was, always will be.

Boycott the World Cup. Boycott the Olympics.

The video is clear. Murder. Cowardly murder.

"The federal government is killing people in the streets, so sports are canceled," is the point we have reached.

via ABC Indigenous 'I shouldn't call this place home. Warning: This video contain themes that may be distressing to viewers.'

Since we're talking about One Nation and their history of providing us with some truly exceptional candidates, this is from the PHON candidate for Macalister in the 2017 State election. One of the top ten twitter exchanges of all time.

what the fuck (copy and paste)

"My community’s security will not be possible at the expense of others. That is not safety. It is scapegoating."

How is it only Wednesday. I am trashed.

Wow. SA Premier Malinauskas, triples down on interfering with the Adelaide Writers Festival which then self imploded and was cancelled. Can you imagine linking an award-winning author who opposed genocide to two hateful, murderous men? Racism game is strong. 👇🏼

Well said.

Pretty sure if most other people or companies created such a thing, the app would be not only dropped by Apple/Google stores, govts and businesses, but they would also charged by police.

Remember when the Australian Jewish Association fiercely opposed the Indigenous Voice to Parliament, calling it divisive and against Aussie values? Fast-forward to 2026, and they're backing Jillian Segal's role as Antisemitism Envoy—basically a Jewish Voice to Parliament without a referendum.

Australian MPs "oh we post to X because that's where the media folks are" Media: "we use X because that's where the MPs are" They're all pathetic losers who don't give a fuck. Maybe it's something from the goddam Midwinter Ball that makes the Nazi CSAM generation site so attractive to them all.

That's absolutely terrifying. Even thinking about it.

Bendigo Writers Festival, Meanjin, now Adelaide Writers … powerful vested interests would rather destroy the cultural institutions they are supposedly responsible for than allow certain voices to be heard

Grass roots. My @smh cartoon.

Floydy cat, being blissfully unaware of any troubles in the world.

The world is still fukt. Also, fuck ICE.
