For the second time in 7 weeks, One Nation barred an ABC journalist from a media event. Last year, Donald Trump excluded an ABC correspondent from a press conference. This is what Trump-style politics in Australia looks like: hostility to scrutiny and punishing those that ask difficult questions.

I personally had zero skin in the game but I definitely thought the Fair Work Commission got the AEAWA registration matter entirely wrong. Twice. Turns out, I was fucking right.

Took me a while to realise this imbecile was talking about Cuba and not the US government.

I wish reporters would stop saying stuff like 'Scientists say we need to rapidly decarbonise to avoid catastrophic global heating' And simply say 'we need to rapidly decarbonise to avoid catastrophic global heating' It's not an opinion, it's a fact

Did it win?

Anyway, you can read Jeff's response to this ridiculous and inflammatory piece of nonsense here: overland.org.au/2026/05/jour...

What an evil piece of shit. I cannot wait to take over.

BREAKING: We’re suing Idaho over a new state law banning transgender people from using the correct restrooms in all government-owned buildings and private businesses that are open to the public. This extreme law threatens felony convictions and up to 5 years in prison.

The FCC is now threatening ABC's broadcast licenses, days after Donald Trump and Melania Trump demanded they fire Jimmy Kimmel. This is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Mr. President: Read the Constitution. Freedom of speech is the First Amendment for good reason.

Finally watching “The Man in the High Castle”. It’s a lot darker than I expected. Not sure why.

Happy April 28 to all who celebrate!

“Shame of the day: The president of the European Weightlifting Organisation, Astrit Hasani, reprimands a Ukrainian athlete for refusing to be photographed with a Russian athlete, while Russia's large-scale invasion is in its fifth year.” Hasani can eat a giant bag of dicks.

KIMMEL: “You know how sometimes you wake up and the First Lady demands you be fired? We’ve all been there, right? — I agree hateful, violent rhetoric is something we should reject… a great place to start to dial that back would be to talk to your husband.”

Gather around children and let me tell you about an ancient time when a font called Times New Roman was all the rage.

Shut up Angus, ya racist flog.

Melbourne is dying

Never seen branes so deranged that they get furious over being welcomed or getting cheap power from the sun and wind rather than dirty coal.

I used a bike rack this weekend that exists because I complained about it not existing. You can make things better, even just a little.

Honestly I love the hustle.

Its not getting a lot of coverage but scraping the top up private health insurance subsidy for over 65s is good policy. Personally id prefer PH subsidys didnt exist at all but here we are.

“The MAGA crowd is made up of dumb people—like, super dumb people. And they fall for it,” he told Wired.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Anybody who is still judging teenagers and 20-somethings as lazy or unserious because they are struggling to launch should understand that they’re trying to climb an economic ladder that started to splinter before they were even born,” Jessica Grose writes.

Flavor Flav is short for Flavorful Riboflavin

Posts where MPs, who are a part of the ruling gov, encourage people to sign petitions over matters their gov can directly affect are weird. Especially with the premier in the photos. Just, yknow, do the thing. Have a chat. Get it done. The leader is RIGHT THERE. www.facebook.com/share/p/1J7x...

NDIS is a classic example of what happens when you outsource everything to do with a government program.

Oh dear! As we all know, housing ceases to exist if sold.

lol hackers. Fuck off

This is ethnic cleansing and genocide in southern Lebanon. Yet still, @albomp.bsky.social does nothing.

The Onion way out front of other outlets in representing our reality. theonion.com/trump-escala...

There were some absolute losers with printed signs outside Marvel Stadium today trying to drum up support for Ben Roberts-Smith and as I passed by I did not see one person go and talk to them or indicate any sort of support for them. I also note that there was not one woman in their group of 20ish

Peace talks. My @smh cartoon.

If you’re a cop enforcing laws that mean arresting people for having “from the river to the sea” on a T-shirt just know, the answer is yes. You are the baddies. You’re the fascists’ enforcers.

When are these stupid and illegal laws getting thrown out? Let’s get a High Court case going already.

“If it’s the name James you see, then he’s a son of me. But if you don’t see James, they’re just friends with whom I play games.”

It's very funny that Trump has made the Australian publish anti-Catholic columns for maybe the first time ever, using arguments I used to use as a teen militant atheist.

I feel their pain

All he’s got. My @smh cartoon.

We are once again asking you to make sure the Royal Commission hears from diverse Jewish voices! Public hearings for the Royal Commission start on the 4th of May so it's not too late to have your voice heard. Read our guide and make a submission today: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/03/ensu...

We said this law was unconstitutional, and it was unconstitutional. Not because we're clever, you could spot the invalidity from Jupiter. Politicians make these ridiculous laws knowing they'll be struck down, as a measure of their own cowardice and lack of seriousness.

And yet we have 1 in 7 kids living in poverty

This is awful.

Pauline Hanson explodes on Sky After Dark in an embarrassing defence of convicted Rapist Sean Black who she now frames as a victim of a ‘witch hunt” - even tho she sacked him.🤦‍♂️ Insists all rapists deserve a ‘second chance’ 😳 How can anyone vote for this trash? #auspol

This week’s Disputes Report begins & ends in the Pilbara. Sparkies at BHP are set to kick off industrial action tomorrow, & workers at Freo Cranes in the north-west have signed off on a new EBA. Plus heaps more disputes around the country. #ausunions disputesreport.substack.com/p/industrial...

Good, these waste of space 'influencer' idiots should all piss off.
