The last Liberal Moderate may as well have died in Hobart Zoo in 1936 for all the chance of them actually existing

John and Elise were able to bring our first grandchild Edward Kevin Gardiner home yesterday at just two weeks old. Who can tell at this early stage whether he's inherited any interests from the rest of us?

“If these journalists actually wanted us to draw attention to them, then maybe they would get killed in a way that helps me spread hatred against a minority," said a reporter for news.com.au. theshovel.com.au/2025/09/15/a...

This is the piece by Amy Remeikis that the New Daily killed. (Obviously their choice not hers to censor it from their site. Not cool, @thenewdaily.bsky.social )

Legacy media keep referring to the Epstein cover-up as a “scandal,” when they should be calling it a crime.

Fifteen-year-old Jake Nelson won’t be able to use TikTok once the Government’s social media ban is introduced, but is comforted by the fact he’ll be old enough to watch a thousand ads from Sportsbet about the latest odds at Randwick. theshovel.com.au/2024/11/11/t...

Guy's not exaggerating when he calls The Rolling Stones' 1967 B-side 2000 Light Years From Home a masterpiece. Such a near-perfect blend of form and content, this emblematic example of Space Rock, a sub-genre of Psychedelia

About what I'd expect from the Greens, the only Australian political party with integrity

Yes. Sigh...

Max Blumenthal Everything was fine when they were sniping hundreds of kids in the head, burning down refugee camps, and raping prisoners in torture camps But now, Israel's war has become unjust 🤬🤬🤬🤬

The next time anyone argues "taxpayers should fund private schools" remember hundreds of thousands of dollars at Riverview College produced Barnaby Joyce.

Pacifying a bully doesn’t work. Standing up to them does.

And NOT censuring One Nation Senators for turning their backs on Welcome to Country. The Australian Labor Party is a disgrace

Truly pathetic given they are not censuring One Nation members for turning their back on the Welcome to Country.

Finally, the watershed moment in Australian politics that accurately represents the duopoly that's like a millstone around all of our necks

We might have known he was a scumbag all the way through. Find me a Liberal who isn't

“On thing that is galling about all the focus on the Antisemitism Envoy is that there is no equivalent position for First Nations people.” - Isabelle Reinecke #SundayShot #auspol

Abso-fvcking-lately!

😀😃😄😁😆

That'd be great. Is the ALP even aware of the Overton Window? You know, the one that's available when you have a huge majority

It wasn’t all that long ago we all received a solid lesson on how to avoid passing on viruses. People suck. #AusPol

Remember my earlier post about the scumbag tabloid press' malfeasance in the Falconio murder investigation? Saw it all on Ch7's Spotlight years ago. Appalling then and again tonight when Ch7 News repeated most of those spurious claims and platformed that ratbag author. Defund commercial TV networks!

Even if I could, I wouldn't be reading the comments section underneath this bilge

The only reason there was ever any speculation about the Falconio murder and Lees abduction was because Lees wouldn't talk to the English scumbag, tabloid, shitrag press. So they did a job on her. And the Australian MSM, being no better than the above, fell into line

Either Albanese knew about Segal's relationship with Advance, in which case his judgement is atrocious, or he failed to apply basic due diligence, in which case his judgement is atrocious. But, no doubt, there'll be zero consequences. Most media won't even report it. #auspol

This is extraordinary ... I had no idea. Thank you @anthonyklan.bsky.social

Jillian Segal's interview on ABC730 last night revealed her to be utterly unable to provide even basic examples of things she alleges in her report are happening. Her report is a farrago of distortion and lies. Treat it with the contempt it deserves

I guess what I want to know is why existing anti-vilification and other measures aren’t sufficient to deal with anti-semitism. Why do we need a special category?

“I truly hope that people understand what’s happening.” “I’m a UN pro bono official — I’m not even paid. Yet suddenly I’m a threat to the global economy. Why? Because I asked big tech to comply with international law and stop profiteering from genocide.” — Francesca Albanese

I'm troubled by this. I am against racism, including anti-semitism. But I couldn't say I am more concerned about anti-semitism than any other kind of racism, including against Muslims. Do we have any evidence there is more anti-semitism than other kinds of racism? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

The entire document is this - distortions coupled with complete fabrications. It is not a serious piece of policy work. Albanese should nod politely, thank her, and then throw it in the bin the moment she leaves.

A-fucking-men

Get a fvcking load of that LNP and ALP!

Ch7 News platformed this ratbag as if he was an expert commentator when the City of Darebin employee won an unfair dismissal case. Neither he nor Ch7 seemed to know the difference between Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement of Country Country

Worth Repeating: 1) Vaccines save lives. 2) Homeopathy is a scam. 3) Astrology is a hoax. 4) Magic isn't real. 5) Psychics are frauds. 6) Prayer doesn't work. (#4) 7) Yoga can't cure cancer. 8) Climate change is real. 9) “Chemtrails” = ice crystals. 10) The earth is not flat.

No, no, no, you've got it all wrong. Brereton only has a perceived conflict of interest, not an actual conflict. So unless he deliberately acts to exploit that conflict of interest, he doesn't have one. Hang on, he's done that several times, hasn't he?

Political crypto-zoology. Sure, you can explore the phenomenon of the Moderate Liberal and Labor Left but you'll really only be studying the stupidity of gullible people who believe in them

hey quick question: is anyone in the government's leadership going to say anything about the ABC? surely a high profile unfair dismissal linked to managing cowing to a lobby group, and involving board meddling, is worth saying something? maybe even an investigation? some consequences for the board?

If ABC management wants to demonstrate that it has learned from the #AntoinetteLattouf case, here's an idea: Commission #4Corners to do an in-depth investigation into how the Israel lobby has built up such massive influence over Australian institutions. Including, or course, the ABC. #auspol

Newspapers now have near-zero ability to sway elections, including The Australian. They should, therefore, have near-zero ability to sway politicians, not to mention public servants and the ABC.

Bobby Sherman made a memorable appearance in a Partridge Family episode where he played a pop star in decline who enlists the family's help in a comeback bid. It generated a spin-off series for him called Getting Together

Anyone surprised by this? Hope the FWO has sufficient powers to rectify this and if it doesn't, the Fed ALP govt should legislate as a matter of urgency to ensure it does

We got a cute lil show coming out next week. Give it a watch if you love or hate Australian TV, which should cover everybody xoxoxox #TheBackSideOfTelevision @binge.com.au

Fossil Fuel Lobbyists: Coalition - well, we don't really need to do any lobbying because they'll always pre-emptively come up with everything we want anyway. Sometimes much more than we want and we have to say to them Whoa, let's not be too obvious now! ALP - as above, but... no, just as above

The guy with a high ranking job lobbying for and advising a company on its defence contracts which include AUKUS related deals, managed to fully put that aside to give his opinion that just so happens to involve actions that could lead to needing more military equipment in the future.

John Howard told these same lies to Australians.

"This decade we are realising how much damage and death can be caused openly, without any shame. Genocidal countries know it, and the fossil fuel industry knows it, too. Our only hope is shifting back to fighting like hell to force the powerful not to choose to knowingly destroy our lives"
