Sorry? Who? The article is about the Australian prime minister
Maybe check the thread. Albo commented yesterday
France still has 12 overseas territories aka colonies š¤¦āāļø
Thatās pretty much what Albo said. He added that perhaps they should check the company theyāre keeping. The wording being attributed to him was part of the journalistās question, not Alboās response
That wasnāt what he said. It was the question the journalist asked. His response twisted to fit the narrative they wanted
Youād think people would check before they mouth off. There is always hours of outrage and it becomes impossible to pull it up
But itās not a hate crime unless they are using spray paint š
Maiden hasnāt had any credibility for decades
Itās not what he said. It was what the journalist said in a provocatively loaded question which Albo handled well if not brilliantly. Stop falling for this pathetic journalism
Itās such a frequent tactic by certain journalists and people fall for it every time. Always check
He didnāt use those words. The journalist used them in a question to Albo then used his measured response to imply that he did
Which doesnāt alter the fact that the reporting of Alboās comment was a twisted version of his cautious response to a deliberately loaded question. Reflects more poorly on the journalists than Albo. Donāt fall for it
Thatās not how I understood his reply to being asked provocatively if there were good people at the rallies. He said good people may have turned up to express views butā¦ it was the usual loaded question followed by bait and switch reporting of the response
There is no excuse now (not that there ever was) for any govt to continue normal relations with Israel.
Why did he say the on-the-job training over the last 200 days, and not the on-the-job training he is continuing to get?
In their pyjamas
I think it has worked out well for Anthony. He gave her a chance to come up with the goods. Sheās manifestly failed and can now be safely ignored. #EnoughRope
Youād want a body double to look a bit fitter than that. Itās not convincing anyone
The very idea that you could submit a report to government, unreferenced and unsupported, and expect to be taken seriously is mind-boggling. My guess is that Segalās report has already hit File 13. Such an arrogant dumb-arse.
Here it is. You fucking read it: www.mdba.gov.au/publications...
Hate is much easier to see when it is coming at you than when it is coming from you
I honestly donāt know why people are shocked by this. Ministers receive many large, complex reports. They donāt (canāt) read them all. They are briefed on them
Why should they retire at 65 when the rest of us have to wait till weāre 67?
The task is not low emissions, it's no emissions.
Katter described himself as ānot entirely whiteā when speaking on a land rights amendment bill. Itās in Hansard, 13 June 2007 p30
āThe speaker might have wanted to roar, but his voice remained snagged in his throat, alternating between a snarl and a sob, sometimes quavering towards the hyena laugh of pure despair.ā Greer, in On Rage, describing Katter speaking in parliament.
Germaine Greerās book āOn Rageā opens with a description of Bob Katter in full flight in parliament. Wish I could find my copy, itās probably got an appropriate quote or two.
Rockaroni is such an awesome name
So sick of the ādonāt blame me brigadeā. Just got blocked for telling one of them to GOYA and do something. Reform takes big grassroots action
Ok, just fuck right off with your āit wasnāt meā. In Australia we have gun control because ordinary people fought for it, and managed to carry the country with them. GOYA and get active.

Itās not irony, itās crime. #AusPol
Not sure it was the government plans so much as the usual Australian business jumping on a bucketful of government money without doing due diligence. Shonks the lot of them
Common enough occurrence
Iāve seen plenty of these photos. Most of it comes from the household side of the distribution system and is worst in new or renovated properties
He hasnāt plated the busts yet
The plastic is coming from inside your mixer tap
Amazed at the poor grasp of language here. āOurā can mean any group from āyou and meā to the whole human population of the world. If you are getting defensive about its use, maybe itās time to reflect a little
He already has
Donāt bet on it. Could get worse.
Brittney on a different site asked everyone to drop a ā¤ļø if @markhamillofficial.bsky.social ever made you smile. I decided to ask the same on Bluesky. If heās ever made you smile or laugh, drop a ā¤ļø. Thank you.

Now I want to watch the whole movie again
Fair
I donāt mind them working, even in relevant fields - who wants all that expertise lost? But they should not be lobbying, and should not have access to Parliament House.
There are other criticisms. Not sure how valid they are.
Fast becoming? Has been for decades
Thereās lots of hate for Bluey. Mostly in the US
Definitely made a pivot in my 40s. When my younger daughter started school I went back to uni & studies env science. I was able to pace it with care needs. Finished PhD when she finished school. Planned to work until 70, but retired at 69. Still caring for my daughter
Memes vs direct action? Why not both?
In aged care settings you would likely be violating the privacy of adults in what is essentially their home. So not the same
Yep. Here too
Everyone has the right to be safe. If you are safe, but donāt feel safe, you donāt need government intervention, you need a therapist.
If she had referenced the document in the first place most of these questions would have been unnecessary. She didnāt so we can assume that the report is based on fabrications and lies from really dodgy sources
Died Dec 2018 according to Wikipedia.
All his own work. He needs to own it.
When my kids were little, we had a story book with exactly that scenario. Itās called āEverybody Cooks Riceā and itās one of the few childrenās books we still have over 30 years on.
Who is the dickhead shaking his head?
Has Emma made it over to Bluesky yet?
No land by conquest. Shouldnāt even be up for discussion any more.
Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz If one side is bothered by images of starving children and the other is not, it's not "starvation" that divides them. What divides them is normal human decency.
I suspect that whatever Putin has on Donnie is far, far worse than piss tapes
Very proud of all of you. Thank you
Fifty-five years on, Bertrand Russellās words are worth returning to https://johnmenadue.com/post/2025/08/fifty-five-years-on-bertrand-russells-words-are-worth-returning-to #Auspol
And your rights are going to be protected under Democrats, but not under Republicans. Support and campaign for the best Democrat candidates.
I live in a country with compulsory voting. I canāt relate at all to the āpox on both your housesā crap. Why not put personal grievances aside and vote for the greater good? Staying home is such a cop out.
āwe can at times hold radically different positions on substantive issuesā. Fuck no. We canāt hold radically different positions that deny rights to any individual or group and expect to be welcomed into inclusive spaces
Exactly.
I get the desire for āsafe and respectfulā, but sometimes conversations need to be robust. And āavoid language or topics that could be considered inflammatory, divisive, or disrespectfulā¦ā is such a bloody catchall. All topics can be divisive. Just check any local Facebook group discussion.
You can support his tactics re districting, then vote for someone else in the primaries. Itās democracy, not marriage.
BREAKING: Super-rich cunt advocates for fucking creators sideways so he can become a mega-rich cunt. #AusPol #AI
Cometh the hourā¦
So it has always been - Doonesbury circa 1982
Because Putin is a former KGB Officer and Trump is a current KGB asset
Exactly
I doubt the mega-rich are having any effect on the numbers. They donāt declare their income
At this point itās basically a confession that theyāre lying.
Fair point
Hiding her head in shame after handing in a report that would fail a high school assignment. Plagiarised, unreferenced, without evidence, and a few thousand words short.
Some people have no idea how government works. This is why cabinet briefings and discussions are usually kept confidential. Itās a bit concerning that there has been a leak of a cabinet brief.
The CHO position is not vacant. It never is. The regulatory functions of the CHO canāt be delegated. If the CHO goes on leave even for a few days a temporary CHO is appointed for the duration (usually the ED of communicable diseases). According to the DoH website, the current CHO is Heidi Carrol
#NotAWar
Recommendations in a dept brief to cabinet arenāt govt policy. A good brief will contain several options, including some they know arenāt going to fly. That is the role of the PS in providing āfrank and fearlessā advice. If you know how govt works, you wonāt be too worried about contents of briefs
This is in no way a defense of AA, but youāve used the wrong denominator here. 3000 is the number of people AA can hold at one time, not the number of people that will be processed over the year. Few if any will be held that long. Maths will still be shit, but not the worst thing about AA
āFamous for itās piesā š
"Scientists link the wildfires with global warming" Politicians still link their political survival to the fossil fuel lobby. #auspol
Always remember. The media will not save us. They donāt even think it is their job to do so.
Which is exactly what the phrase means. It is used when something that was expected to go down/over well, but sank spectacularly and embarrassingly. The idea/joke/whatever falls flat
Want to be careful staying in the King David Hotel. Someone might blow it up.
The sad reality.... #BrownLivesMatterToo #SpeakOut #SilenceIsComplicity #AnasAlSharif
Universities certainly do!
I think the figure in scrubs and hard hat is meant to be female
Hard hat plus stethoscope? Weird placement of flags? A-not-very-I and ugly as fuck
Depends which Ex it is
DOUBLE PELICAN DIVE AFTER SUNSET!!!! wooooo! What a way to end the week! time to sleep and prepare for the horrors and joys of the next one šŖ¶
Donāt be silly. They would never say āthank youā
Finally!!
Worth doing for cops š®!
