Morrison’s filthy paws are all over this.
Of course! The beauty is that Polio doesn’t discriminate on a socio-economic basis, so you can sell budget to luxury models to the kids’ parents. I hear they will be available in Baby Pink and Baby Blue.
What’s a bit sad is he thinks his father’s rages are reasonable and normal behaviour. I can picture him as a small boy traumatised by this huge man shouting and screaming around the house, provoked at the drop of a hat.
How desperately sad this is.
The fabric was banned after it was found that the static electricity created by the polyester could ignite the rayon(wood) fibres and create a pubic inferno.
Climate-fuelled disasters like the algal bloom in SA underline the need for a polluter-pays climate disaster fund. Fossil fuel exporters should pay for the damage they're causing, not ordinary Australians. From South Australia director Noah Schultz-Byard in InDaily. #auspol
Is there a single Australian who gives a rat’s shit what Bibi Netanyahu thinks? Netanyahu is a corrupt, loveless, narcissistic, irredeemable armchair warlord whose entire approach to leadership is a desire to escape personal accountability by abandoning moral authority. He is garbage, and fuck him.
Condolences from Australia. I am watching the US armed forces roll out the red carpet (literally) for this despot, while other troops intimidate, detain, arrest and assault US citizens. Get your shit together guys.
Protesters in Tel Aviv took to the streets carrying flour bags and pictures of malnourished children from Gaza, calling for the end of the war on Gaza and the hunger. #protest #TelAviv #Gaza #hunger #IsraelGazawar #Israel
Great list! Already some crossover with the Chay Chay Chay hottest 100 and they’re only at no. 90 so far. How good is Oz music?!❤️
"The report labels itself as a, “policy oriented framework for government and the Australian community” and yet it is totally devoid of any evidence for said policies and the Australian community. It’s a completely statistics free, citation free document" My latest 👇🏽 theshot.net.au/uncategorize...
That’s some fucking serious agrarian socialism, eh?
Relatable. My @smh @theage cartoon.
"My detractors cannot wrap their head around it: I am not paid by anyone for my work on Palestine, not even the UN. Special Rapporteurs serve pro bono. And I have so much fun at doing what I do, you know why? Because I despise bullies, mafias + apartheid. I will fight...happily till my last breath."
🚨Antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal – who is seeking to dictate the nation’s speech & media – has pointed to her husband over $50,000 given to far-right Advance...but says she won't "dictate" to him. Segal breaks two-day silence, yet it only raises bigger questions... theklaxon.com.au/kzpu
Jillian Segal and her cohorts, constantly reference something called "legitimate" or "acceptable" criticism of Israel. Define exactly what "legitimate" or "acceptable" criticism of Israel is? Where? When? If you demand to legislate it, then you should be able to show examples of it - what is it?
Just reading that fibres can be produced for fabric from mushrooms. Checking my knitting bag now for a jaunty cardigan pattern.
It’s in their hands, if they turn up to vote. They elect everyone from dog catcher up. Local, state and federal contests (midterms) are the opportunities that the constitution gives them to correct this shite fight. Whether it can be done before civil war kicks off is another matter.
Wasn’t it this cloth-eared bint’s husband Brian who conducted the autopsy on their ‘22 loss? The conclusion was that they need to move back towards the centre. Do they even speak to each other?
Most people, including the Libs who dumped him like a steaming turd, know he’s a liability and a weirdo loser who loves hanging out with men in uniform.
Maybe, but being Eastern Euro she may have cause to remember Romania. The mob does not often care to spare the complicit spouse.
Greta Thunberg and other human rights defenders have been kidnapped by Israel on international waters. The aid they were delivering to Gaza that includes baby formula & medical supplies has been stolen. The ship Madleen was attacked with drones & will be forced to port at Ashdod Port. #3E #FreeGaza

Pink sky here in the mountains this morning. All will be looking fresh and white by the end of the long weekend ❄️ Never gets old.
Sad and deluded Anne Ruston alleges she is ‘excited’ about rebuilding the party. If that’s excited, I’d hate to see her not terribly interested.
I’m told that the term has been updated to ‘correctile dysfunction’.
I’m glad the lying rodent Howard is still alive to see the fruits of his labours. Mean, mendacious and not that bright. He should never have risen above an average suburban solicitor, yet he’s gone on to oversee the destruction of Menzie’s Liberal Party. This will be his legacy. Excellent.
Rescind the mining leases. Legislate it and name it The Rex Connor Bill. Don’t tell me it can’t be done. This repulsive, bloated oligarch needs to hand back our COMMON WEALTH. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Angus is so desperate for every vote he had to wheedle Jacinta over to the Liberal party in return for some sort of shadow ministry A confederacy of dunces - 8.9 out of 10 on the Babet scale
It will probably have to be Sussan who steps in to start mopping up the sick. It’s a woman’s job, after all. The Libs will try to flog this as a genius move. Look - We’ve solved our women problem and gone more centrist However, I doubt they’d allow her to lead them to an election.
Lock up the prayer room - Timmy’s back in the building!
I love the smell of singed Tories in the morning!
If I’m doing my sums correctly The ALP has 7 new female MPs in QLD alone. The Liberals have a total of 7 female MPs Australia wide. Bringing in a bunch of brethren to hand out for them, a cult whose female members have fewer rights than a beast of the field, may not have been a master stroke.
Ralph slipped through the evolutionary filter when the lifeguard at the gene pool took the day off.
I want to live long enough to see her mining leases rescinded. And all the others. With the mandate and at least two terms, Trump’s economic chaos and threats to our sovereignty, it’s a natural move. Resurrect Rex Connor and get it done ✅
Hitch up your palazzo pants and get a load of this. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
I propose the Rex Connor bill. Rescind the mining leases and return our mineral assets to the common wealth.
Please tell me the IPA poster boy won’t win 🤮
Sooo good!!
The idea that Angus Taylor could be the next leader of the Liberals is absurd. His colleagues call him a lazy policy lightweight & there remain serious questions about his integrity. Jonathan Biggins of the Wharf Revue encapsulates "Angus Taylor Swift" perfectly 👇. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAiT...
Yep, or it’s got to have a media hook to get attention. In my fever dream we have a university sector, CSIRO and other research institutes funded by nationalising the mines.
I don’t dismiss the huge challenges faced by academics and researchers. The damage caused by science denialsm is immense. Bad actors sowing distrust. Maybe it’s just hope I have? Hope that we can have a society informed and improved by science. Hope we can do better.
That’s not untrue, currently. The CSIRO, for one, has not yet recovered from Abbott’s cuts. Labor still has lots of work to do to boost science. However, I would posit that the environment here for academics is going to be a whole lot better than the US under Trump and beyond
Great graphic - but I couldn’t wear that ugly mug on a t-shirt - eeeww! However, I have been sporting your wonderful art - my favourite Albo ‘Loose Unit’ shirt - all weekend!
We are welcoming them with open arms in Australia. It’s really nice here.
The next liberal leader is still in Primary school.
Watching their influence evaporate like the steam off an outdoor piss on a frosty night has been one of the best things about this election result.
The demise of the Libs, the evaporation of Murdoch influence and the distinct possibility of a third term. Who would have thunk it? I’m with you Amy - I hope they take full advantage! Thanks for your coverage - helps keep this old Labor girl sane!
Happy political retirement, Clive. May the next $240M you burn through be spent on dinosaur refurbishments + Titanic reconstructions - and not pathetically terrorising trans ppl for more power. Rot in irrelevance, big fella.
Check out this young guy. Ex member with the inside gen. Very brave www.facebook.com/share/r/1Ds8...
My take on last night’s extraordinary result www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...
I have confidence that the thumping mandate will make a difference. We’ve seen an amazing thing this election. I never thought it would happen. Murdoch is irrelevant. He’s no longer an anchor around the neck of progress.
7 new female ALP MPs in QLD alone! AMAZING!!!
The planning and organising would be covered in Morrison’s mitt prints, surely? He’s got all the right connections to be the go-to guy for the job.
The women in the cult are particularly vulnerable, of course. Maybe other women should print the number for RESPECT + ‘there’s help if you need it’ and quietly give it to the women in the groups when they hand you the Libs HTV.
Instead of obsessing about Climate 200's crowdfunding to support candidates committed to saving our planet, maybe the media could focus more on Atlas Network's funding of individuals and organisations to promote climate denialism and undermine democracy to benefit the (very) privileged few?
'Have you noticed that things are getting a little Trumpian in Australia?' Damon Gameau looks at Atlas and Advance #auspol > youtu.be/ecqDvx9HMhs?... Let's share this - a lot!!! 🙌 🙌
Peter Dutton DOES NOT want people to see this
www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
One of the best 3 minutes of your life will be spent watching this. It's powerful stuff Atlas Network - the subversive people manipulating and controlling public debate and holding Australia back from its full potential. #AusVotes2025 Credit: Regenerators Full vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecqD...
Compared to the entitled, truculent and combative retiring Liberal MP, Fletcher, on QandA this week, she’s clearly a huge improvement and I hope she takes the seat.
Mr Creosote and his Crumpet of Apricots.
It should have been about the intimidation tactics used by Christian Brethren cult members swarming the poll booths in blue Liberal shirts.
He talked over every woman there. Disgusting behaviour.
And very clever too!
Love your work! Thank you!’ Looks like there’s another 4 corners ep in the making with tonight’s revelation of the Brethren sending gangs of aggressive youth to man the polls in Lib shirts. Dutton really is the gift that keeps on giving for you guys! Can’t wait for this one!
Yep. We’ve gangs of the young, aggressive cult members here too - Eden Monaro electorate - There are loads of flashing signs along the highway heading south from Canberra with ‘Make Australia Smile’ again‘ and ‘Put Labor last’ Who’s paying for these?
I lived and worked in Canada for several years, a long time ago now - so lucky ! My fingers and toes are all crossed. 🤞
Perhaps he knew this was coming this morning? It’s gonna be a long week for Temu Trump. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
The Age and other media calling ‘Women Will Speak’ a ‘women’s rights group’ is absurd. They formed solely to oppose the rights of trans & non-binary people. They have nothing else to say about women or rights. The vast majority of us are only toilet-obsessed when we need a wee.
He seemed a bit cranky. Maybe he had a heads up on this www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
No wonder he was begging them not to watch/read the ABC, and this might also explain his cranky demeanour during the debate last night. He knew this was coming today. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
🚨Melbourne Storm director & co-owner Brett Ralph is one of the biggest funders of hate group "Advance" - which has been aggressively attacking the Welcome to Country. Ralph was Advance's second biggest funder in 2023-24 & has given at least $275,000... theklaxon.com.au/e11o
Over the weekend Donald Dutton tells his (dwindling) supporters not to take any notice of the ABC and other ‘hate media’. No wonder he was cranky in the debate last night… www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
Has anyone checked if he’s high on the toxic fumes from disintegrating polyester fibres in his cardi?
Andrew Hastie, Peter Dutton, Gina Rinhart are using Anzac day to whip up fear. They are all beating on the war drums. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
The welcome to country was booed at the Melbourne dawn service. This group of bad actors, "Advance", has been aggressively sowing hate and division behind-the-scenes against the Indigenous ceremony. Advance is quietly funded by the Liberal Party. (ICYMI:) theklaxon.com.au/liberal-part...
I’m seeing a situation where Trump creates an economic environment that makes it good sense for us to dig up Rex Connor, nationalise our resources, like a proper commonwealth should do, hand Gina a packet of Tim Tams, and tell her to piss off.
Liberal candidate for Bruce in still more trouble. Liberal campaign in this winnable seat has been a disaster zone. www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...
A reminder that Andrew Hastie - despite his natty haircut - is anti-gay marriage & comes from a family of deeply religious creationists, with a father who has quite the track record of patronising women Young Andrew also isn't helped by the fact he has the intellect of a bag of two week old turnips
‘Zer may be juzt ze veeniest bit of nazialism…’
The Coaltion would gut Medicare, and use public money to fund foreign owned companies to build more Northern Beaches-type hospitals.
These gentle and caring sisters have an incredible life story and are beautiful human beings. Be fascinated and amazed, but please don’t mock them. Be kind.
So after letting me know weeks ago they’re investigating my hacked account @strangerous.bsky.social, BlueSky is still yet to let me know if they’ve actually done anything, I’m still being contacted about things hacker is doing with account. Should I give up? @support.bsky.team ? Anyone home?😔
Shorthand for ‘ They’re onto us’
He came across as un overbearing thug.
All I hear when I read ‘Liberal Party’ is the Muppet Show music.
First catch up since George Pell’s funeral.
It seems the Liberal Party has deployed bots on TikTok. The bots seem programmed to find negative posts about Coalition MPs (like this one re Jacinta Price) copy&paste the text, but replace Price's name with Penny Wong and Liberals with Labor! Stay classy LNP! 🙄 #auspol #AusVotes25 #PutTheLibsLast
Common sense
I really enjoyed the discussion on housing from the Adelaide festival of ideas. You were on the panel and everyone there just spoke coming sense and explained why we are where we are. It was brilliant. Should be compulsory listening! The answer, of course, is public housing. Lots of it.
It seems that Trump wants a recession. Why? A recession will drive down the prices of real estate, companies, and shares of stock. Trump and his fellow billionaires want to buy up everything on the cheap and then enjoy the ride upward — no matter the cost to working people.
Here's @marquelawyers.bsky.social. 'The craven crushing of campus dissent' The path towards fascism looks like this.
As Paul Keating observed ‘You wouldn’t trust this mob with a jar of 5c coins’ How true he was.
Cost us a cool half a $mil when that affair soured, I recall. Barnaby getting a lazy $650k bonus as ‘drought envoy’ around the time he needed to domicile his new partner. Who doesn’t miss those days? 🤮
Ah, who could forget Tudge? Wasn’t he the one being fellated by his press advisor while threatening people with gaol for debts he knew they didn’t owe? Lying, incompetent, hypocritical grubs.
The Coalition has fixed its women problem by replacing Ben Britton, who says women can’t be soldiers, with Nathaniel Smith, who says abortion should remain in the Crimes Act. Much better. #AusVotes25
