The Goon Show Classics

File under: Some of those that work forces...

Still no condemnation from the Liberal Party. Still no condemnation from the antisemitism envoy. Still no sustained questioning of either of them from the media.

Which Geelong player is gunna risk cancellation by going as a bloodstained racist YouTube influencer on Mad Monday?

regular reminder that politicians keep giving police more power to control women and children whose lives are in danger while cops remain the worst possible people to be given this power and all the resources that comes with it. bsky.app/profile/jacq...

When you’re *this close* to getting it…

Liberal Party drawing down hard on this country’s strategic reserves of hotdog costumes… #Auspol

Gold Standard

Chrisfulli, Nicholls and all involved in orchestrating the underhanded passage of this bill should be charged with homicide for each death that pill testing would have prevented. All those who then voted for the bill but had no hand in the mechanics, should also be charged with homicide.

In a just world, these costs would be paid personally by the cops who assaulted her, and not by the NSW taxpayers

Would not surprise if some of these stories are from those religious groups which have completed a wholesale takeover of the state Liberal Party

Excellent. You can start by ending private school funding, franking credits and negative gearing.

It remains a mystery to people outside of NSW how this incredibly repellent weirdo was able to exert so much influence over successive state and federal governments for so long

This is it. There’s plenty of real stuff to critique the Vic ALP govt about, but none of it overlaps with the RW agenda, so they can’t really use it.

Deeming mode engaged

oof

An exceptionally shrewd operator. Also: the insanity of a society that makes this front page news fora week, whereas the far more transparently political assassination of the Minnesota House speaker was just a blip.

The Federal Press Gallery has its head up it's own arse, and is quite happy with the view (hat tip to @craigunderscore.bsky.social)

If only we had national anti- corruption commission to look into things like this

Counterpoint: The federal press gallery is a bunch of smooth braned Poindexters and should be abolished #Auspol

Exactly. The Very Smart Canberra Press Gallery thought it was “impolite” to report on the religious affiliations of the Scott government, and look where that journalistic malpractice got us… #Auspol

New Lattoufing just dropped

I remember when all the big branes in the Canberra Press Gallery confidently asserted that Hunt was the voice of sensible, moderate centrism within the Scott government #Auspol

Any fellow journalists saying, “well, he was pleasant when we shared a green room once”: yes, and: he spoke in favor of televised executions of those deemed enemies of the regime. But I’m sure he’d have been polite as he pulled the trigger.

The fact that I understood most of this thread (and nodded along in agreement) says bad things about my brain

Genuinely curious as to what sort of “community service” an unrepentant neo-Nazi could actually do and not be a further threat to the community?

Dude getting his beak wet each way. A classic Australian story.

The LNP’s problem is there is a sizeable chunk of their party that *desperately* wants to be just like Trump’s Republican Party, and there just aren’t enough folks in this country-of-mandatory-voting that want to buy the crap those nutters want to sell.

Lots of words ABC, when you could have just said “racism”

Can’t wait to have an election and vote out the Morrison government 🤬

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

😬

Every time Advance is in the news, Ms Segal and her family trust should get a mention

“firebrand” Get in the bin ABC

At what point do we send in the administrators and criminally prosecute the executives? Or is that just for trade unions?

You know, you could just say “racists”, Guardian headline writer

ABC journalists need to learn the meaning of the word “conservative”

"safe"

And this will keep happening until the cops who assaulted her are prosecuted and jailed

In a just world, the perpetrators of this unlawful assault would be personally responsible for any compensation payout, and not the taxpayers of NSW

Bob Iger they comin' for you

Good 🧵 on why the political right hated the Covid vaccines. Remember Scott’s “it’s not a race” slow-walking response?

Has he tried to rename Arthur Ashe Stadium yet? #USOpen

“fashtroturfing” 😂

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains

Actually Neo-Nazis planned and managed the Neo-Nazi marches and their friends and credulous dupes in the media helped them.
