It's time our politicians kicked their US habit www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic... Not meeting Trump is just as useful as meeting Trump, in terms of securing some sort of commitment that lasts longer than one of the US President’s spray tans.

"If the general public thinks there is a problem with corruption there is a problem with corruption," If that observation has any validity, it is in all our interests that transparency prevails in the NACC’s chance to save its reputation, a chance the Inspector’s office has given it.

and a psychopath

As I was saying…

"This claim has no basis in reality. None of the wars the president cites have truly ended, and the two most consequential conflicts he doesn’t name but which he claimed he would solve before taking office—Ukraine against Russia and Israel against Hamas—are still raging," wrote General Mark Hertling

Trump's UN address "might be the most bonkers speech of his political career." "It was, among other things, unrelentingly, embarrassingly — and, most of all, delusionally — egomaniacal,"

www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s... “The ABC’s response was to surrender to the (pro-Israel) lobbyists’ political campaign by sacrificing Ms Lattouf. It did so for spurious reasons and without giving Ms Lattouf the opportunity to defend herself.”

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... “Let’s not pretend this is a foreign policy speech or dignify it by calling it one. This's Maga madlibs. Trump's speaking to his political base, hitting each of his campaign trail hits, while addressing a room of leaders who’d rather be just about anywhere else.”

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Even if we can’t count on our elected politicians to protect our first amendment rights, we can rely on ourselves. When our outrage translates into withholding our consumer dollars, a big corporation like Disney is forced to listen – and respond.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... What do you think would happen if you decided that because the amount of tax you owe the government was only a barely perceptible percentage of overall tax revenue, you weren’t going to bother paying?

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s... Such is the gravitational pull cast by Trump and the US economy that the politics of the other 192 countries that make up the UN are rapidly being reduced to one long discussion about how to relate to, and challenge this ever darker and weirder presidency.

www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... In July 2023 the royal commission’s report labelled the scheme “crude and cruel”, “neither fair nor legal” and a “costly failure of public administration”...yet no-one has been held accountable!! The NACC has been a failure, its Commissioner must be sacked.

Sales of the drug Tylenol – AKA paracetamol – skyrocketed amongst pregnant women after the unproven claim was aired by Trump, due to the President saying: “This drug will give your baby autism, so don’t take it and you’ll have a child that could end up normal, like me.

Horrified medical experts who heard the “finding” immediately came down with stress-induced migraines. Thankfully, RFK Jr was nearby to provide them with pain relief in the form of raw milk and a BioCharger.

www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/24/i... Liberal democracies stand at a crossroads on issues of migration. One road leads to stronger democratic institutions capable of tackling socio-cultural complexity with honesty. The other leads to walls, scapegoats, and strongmen.

www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/24/a... Here’s when you know it’s getting serious for a conservative Liberal candidate trying to unseat a moderate: when the Oz run a piece about what your no-nonsense, hard scrabble, principled journey to get where you are.

Some of us do.

The coal lobby’s push came as the Human Rights Commission and environmental groups warned the inquiry that false narratives about climate change delayed urgent action to combat global heating, eroded trust in science and institutions and distorted the public’s understanding of the challenge.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... The lobby group, whose members include Whitehaven and Yancoal, argued that Australia’s prosperity was being “compromised” by unnamed activist groups backed by foreign donors.

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

It’s easy to take democracy for granted. It’s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. It’s not. This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

For the Epsteinth time, Tylenol doesn’t cause autism.

Abolish ICE

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

I can’t read the Crikey article (paywall) but I hope that Albanese mans up and gets us out of AUKUS.

Rum Corps strikes again

Exactly, well put.

“Netanyahu of Sept 2025 is unhinged; detached from reality, with an acute case of delusion of grandeur [about the idea he is] redrawing the regional map; afraid of an election; scared of his trial [on corruption charges]. If all of those point to partial annexation, he might actually do something.”

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s... Annexation of occupied Palestinian land would accelerate Israel’s trajectory towards the isolated “super-Sparta” status that Netanyahu celebrated last week and then backed away from after public outrage and economic warnings.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s... The Trump administration is waging a culture war on Europe by aggressively promoting the Maga movement’s political and ideological allies in Europe, actively seeking to interfere in European elections, and publicly humiliating the EU on the world stage.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Prof Fiona Stanley said she was “deeply sad” and “ashamed” after the hospital that bears her name abruptly cancelled an event featuring Palestinian Australian doctors speaking about their experiences in Gaza. She even thought about having her name removed.

“US companies know they need to keep pace with the EU, China and other regions where climate policy is increasingly shaping competitiveness. Net zero is less a political battleground and more a race to secure future markets, investment and jobs.”

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Investment in renewable energy continued to increase worldwide despite moves by Trump’s White House to cancel and derail low-carbon projects. In the first half of 2025, investment globally in renewable technologies and projects reached a record $386bn, up by 10%.

www.theguardian.com/business/202... “Miners tried to shovel as much out the door as they could while times were good and now they’re having to scale back,” Rod Campbell, Australia Institute, said. “They’re using what is a natural market driven phenomenon to make some political hay.”

www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/23/o... Optus, and its owner Singtel, needs to take a good hard look at a company that has repeatedly failed to deliver on its promises. But the federal government too, needs to take a more holistic view — and arguably a review — of telecommunications in Australia.

Not before he and his cronies have paid their dues for Robodebt. Anyway, people predicting the end of the world have an unenviable success rate.

Yes, and no heart.

I continue to feel that our national experiment of making the dumbest MF in the country president was ill advised.
