We could have it all if we taxed the wealthy, the corporations, the fossil fuel companies and didn’t spend needless money on offshore detention camps and AUKUS Submarines…and also drink beer with champagne chasers and woof down lobster and caviar too.

www.crikey.com.au/2025/11/10/s... South Australia has become a new front in the “forced-birth” movement, with the state's Legislative Council soon voting on a bill — the second in 12 months — that would restrict late-term abortion.

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... A wide-ranging review into paracetamol use by pregnant women has found no convincing link between the common painkiller and the chances of children being diagnosed with autism and ADHD. No surprises there, despite what Mad King Donald claimed recently.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Trump’s intervention was about politics, not faith. He was massaging a key domestic constituency. Christian nationalist votes helped clinch Trump’s two presidential victories despite the obvious insincerity of his professed beliefs.

From NASA to the National Institutes of Health, federal agencies conduct research that universities cannot. Agency scientists speak with Nature about the irreplaceable facilities, institutional knowledge, and training opportunities that the country is losing. 🧪

This is a powerful piece by Rebecca Huntley: “our mental health crisis and the climate crisis are intersecting, creating a perfect storm for our hearts and minds”

This is an absolutely insane administrative process. Within the space of a week, states were told by judges/White House *no SNAP benefits *half benefits *full benefits *pause provision of benefits. Result is chaos, uncertainty, and uneven access to benefits depending on where people live.

Donald Trump's authoritarianism is happening in plain sight.

All Criminals.

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to stop order requiring SNAP benefits be paid. How do you feel about him intentionally starving American children during Thanksgiving, while building a gold plated ballroom and remodeling a 747 for himself?

Getty images releases photos of the convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and accused pedophile who fell asleep in the middle of a press conference on Thursday. Why won’t he release the results of his MRI? What is he hiding?

CAPTION THIS

Does he get booed more every time he speaks at a sporting event?

Trump's malignant narcissism on full display: no concern, no empathy, just anger that all the attention was drawn away from him.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

Mad Canavan said revitalising the whaling industry was simply common sense. “Australia was built on whaling. We used to have a thriving whaling industry until it was shut down by woke leftists. City elites wouldn’t understand the quiet dignity of turning a majestic marine mammal into lamp fuel”.

“I’ll pay you if that’s what it takes. How much do you want? Just say that I’m a really relaxed and funny guy that everyone likes. I just need validation. Please”.

A group of men gathered outside of the NSW Parliament in Sydney yesterday to call for the inclusion of erectile dysfunction medication on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.

Trump and Hegseth booed mercilessly for 2 minutes straight tonight by Washington Commanders fans.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Aussies always want a champagne social security system and infrastructure on a beer budget and tax system.

No different to all the rich living in their seaside canal mansions. Want the mug punter to cover their losses and sea wall construction.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... For a time in 1975, Australian democracy appeared a fragile thing. In a world where democracy seems in decay, we could learn much from the vigilance of those who rallied as spring turned to summer in 1975.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Chris Richardson, a leading budget expert, said Labor can’t afford to be timid when it comes to economic reform. “The government has the closest thing to a free hand that we’ve seen in decades. The question is: do they take the chance to do something?”

When Jim Cairns asked Keating why he wasn’t wearing a Vietnam moratorium badge. PJK said he wasn't in Canberra to protest, he was there “to run the joint”. Albo & Chalmers shouldn’t be distracted by the Coalition's chaos. Running the joint, and avoiding the easy options, requires a great deal more.

Although a federal court ordered him to continue to provide food stamps to about 42 million low-income Americans who depend on them, Trump threatened to deny them anyway until the end of the govt shutdown. On Thursday a court ordered that Snap benefits be fully funded now; Trump has appealed. FFS!

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... The test of the Trump regime's progress is whether it adds to the abundance of those who have much and provides less for those who have too little. It is passing this test with flying colors.

One simple way to lift children out of poverty www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au “To our PM, raised by a single mother: if the govt can carry the lending risk with the new first-home buyers 5 per cent deposit scheme, it can carry the debt on child support.”

Earlier this week, another Liberal told The Australian that breaking up the Coalition was a viable option after the Nationals announced their position on net zero. “They are terrorists,” the MP said. “The first rule of being a parasite is not to kill your host.”

Inside the Coalition split: ‘Like washing the bear without getting its fur wet’ www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au As the Nationals announce they will no longer support net zero, some moderate Liberals are pushing to dissolve the Coalition agreement.

The unhappy truth of the Coalition’s dysfunction is that it benefits fringe parties such as One Nation. The absence of a functioning conservative movement has created opportunities for hateful charlatans. There is no intellectual frame for this. There is only prejudice and opportunism.

The rise and rise of Pauline Hanson www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/2025/11/08/t... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au Hanson outlined her speech for Sky News. She has the eyes and deportment of a box-dyed pterodactyl. It is fitting that a person with her views looks so much like a dinosaur.

Whether you're living in a disaster-prone area, or are a first responder, or a mental health professional, or someone just worried about their kids playing summer sport, clearly our mental health crisis and the climate crisis are intersecting, creating a perfect storm for our hearts and minds.

The lonely fear of this climate catastrophe www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topi... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au We're rapidly moving towards a scenario where instead of a single event involving recovery, we now have recurrent and even overlapping climate events making it harder to recover.

If farmers and regional people follow the Joyce and Abbott line of doing nothing about climate change, the victims of extreme climate events will be themselves, and they may no longer be able to rely on city-based governments being prepared to wear the cost.

What is the purpose of Barnaby Joyce? www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topi... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au Barnaby Joyce has always talked a story about himself. He is a one-man plot line, but his achievements for the people he professes to represent are slim to infinitesimal.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n... Hurricane Melissa’s catastrophic landfall is the canary in the coal mine. When a storm can explosively intensify from 70 to 185mph in under 3 days over ocean waters that are 1.5C warmer than normal, we're witnessing the dangerous new reality of our warming world.

www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... This's all the result of ineptitude and misplaced aspiration, and none of the show’s 26 credited producers, co-producers and executive producers possess the ability to discern just how bad a thing this actually is.
