We should facilitate these degenerate clowns as much as possible
I would say Trump was a global phenomenon prior, combined with a determined Murdoch & Fox empire backing. These minnows are incompetent clerks at best, no charisma and zero talent. Attention gives credibility and funding. These people only exist as players because we talk about them, I would argue.
The more we can ignore them, dismiss them, the quicker they will disappear. When we get outraged we strengthen them. It's their entire reason to exist.
Looks like Labor is about to approve the North West shelf gas expansion, which among bad news for the planet and WA energy costs is terrible for the nearby Murujuga rock art - which is so old, it has one of the first known depictions of the human face australiainstitute.org.au/post/woodsid...

Gary Lineker upset Israel. #iSupportGary
That's rancid. AOC is an apologist for some of the worst war crimes in history. But if you base your political opinions on theatre not facts then AOC is a fantastic gal. You have no principles! If you do find out. Actually find out. Look at the world. FIND OUT. You're adults FIND OUT!
More handouts for capitalists. Classic Albo.

ISSUE ARREST WARRANTS FOR MEDIA CHIEFS FOR FACILITATING WAR CRIMES
1000%
I saw an article today saying Rupert's influence is rapidly diminishing. Sad thing is the media across the board is so far right (and the internet) that they do the job anyway. The good news is youngsters veer left and they are increasing in the voting pool and the old sad racists are dying off.
He doesn't do human very well. Which is why he represents billionaires and corporations so well.
New research shows Israel's slaughter in Gaza has killed more journalists than the US Civil War, World Wars 1 and 2, the Korean War, the Vietnam war, the Yugoslav Wars, the Afghanistan War and the Ukraine War COMBINED. More: watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/p...
Too lazy to learning her lines. Too lazy to learn the lies. Yet we accept these people to represent us and for years. Decades. What is wrong with us? What are we going to do about it? When is enough enough..
"From Bernie Sanders to Elizabeth Warren to Mark Warner to Chuck Schumer, every single one of them has the power to unilaterally slow things way down by objecting to unanimous consent, or to call for a quorum and force all Republicans to actually show up to work, but they don’t."
The best part is you actually believe this. In 2025.
I approve this message 👏
“a team of Chinese researchers has developed a safer, more sustainable recycling method that eliminates the need for harsh acids by using a neutral solution”
And yes it was the CIA. Telegraphed to Buckingham Palace to get the admin sorted.
Without knowing anything about it, I can 100% confirm it was never.
Israel claims they are fighting a war on seven fronts. They are: • Babies & children • Unarmed civilians • Journalists & the truth • Medics & aid workers • Human rights • International law • Our collective humanity
Would be much better if Labor made themselves worth voting for in the first place. Too busy taking donations and building missiles and coal mines I guess.
The word “terrorist” is a meaningless tool of imperial narrative control. Want to bomb some people? Designate them as terrorists. Want to silence protesters and dissidents? Say they’re supporting terrorists. Want sweeping surveillance powers? Say you need them to fight terrorism.
Bill Shorten (Reps, Maribyrnong) claimed $501,409 in expenses over the last 4 reported quarters. #auspol - https://politicalgadgets.com/
No ones buyin' your propaganda. Not anymore.
Agreed. But backing lesser evils and apologism for our nominated political team/s, has brought us today's world. On the freeway to hell.
She'll have zero to say on that I promise you
Or you could utilise preferential voting and don't vote for the duopoly, and it doesn't even hurt Labor in the end.
Or not selling out your principles
I campaigned for Kevin 07. I voted for Albo and bought a friggin tea towel. I'll NEVER vote Labor again. Do I suffer from unconscious classism? It could be that I suffer from disliking genocide, and resenting the traitorous lies we were sold on the environment, stopping corruption etc etc etc etc
Starting a party that will be quickly co-opted and or immediately discredited by corrupt media and then just spin it's wheels at best? We need direct action. See revolution, French/Russian
She is the perfect example of the sheer depravity that we have come to allow as democratically normal in this country. That place is full of Linda's. We elect sociopaths. Then we whine. We need to get angrier, no one is coming to save us. When are people going to get angry enough..
This is how it happens in America. A woman, a Fulbright scholar, snatched off a Massachusetts street and rendered to a Louisiana prison for criticising Israel in a university newspaper. Don't give me any of that "land of the free" bullshit. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/u...
Dutton is verging on criminally insane and he's a fascist. Albo is a Manchurian candidate for the military industrial complex and unbridled corporate power, posing as a leftie. Both are heinous but one is actually more dangerous because of the duplicity.
We need an AUKUS rebate. We'll get about $1500 each and we all get to see our kids grow up instead of annihilation. That would be a decent election promise.
A truth until realised is the destitution of the left
Not if you see him for what he is. He isn't Gough. He isn't Keating. He's none of them. He's basically Howard.
Good to see the rusteds catch up. Sincerely. You're 2 years late, but once you see it you cannot unsee it. Labor don't exist. They're gone. They were infiltrated here and in the UK. It'll be rough from here but delusion and denial won't help anyone.
Dutton will sink with Trump? Trump got 70mill+ votes and won the election easily. If their connected wouldn't it means Dutton is in the drivers seat? Bookies say so. It isn't good news but let's not fall the same delusion the Dems had. Major parties are sinking. Most like outcome is anyone's guess.
Trump needs them for the civil war he knows is likely. At the very least, the stoked up racial pogroms.
Crikey. That's your analysis? You must have missed the genocide, complete capitulation to foreign capital, total disregard for the day to day financial struggle of millions. Albo is stinking it up worse than any previous Labor PM ever. Ever.
ICE (the US government) is nothing but a modern day slave catching operation
#EndUSImperialism
He's basically a regional town publican at best. But when the only qualifications required for the job are utter subservience to capital and imperialism then tick. PM Albo.
At first blush I thought Sister offered a good analogy, but then I wondered whether it still gives Democrats too much credit for being unsuspecting chickenhawks. IMO Dems are also bad actors who intentionally benefit from the carnage and terror. More like good cop-bad cop.
The perfect encapsulation of the hollow, opportunistic nature of corporate DEI. It was all symbolic, purely focused on representation, and not grounded in any real practice of diversity, equity, and inclusion. It was a branding tactic, and as soon as it became inconvenient, it was dropped.
He serves mountains of cold McDonald's for White House lunch, when he seeks to impress. He possesses an intuition of a grade not often seen.
Our vehicles are another slice of the lack of "social cohesion" IMO with our behaviour on the road. But an e-biker, a Ute'r and a Golf driver can all find our collective humanity together on here. At least that's something. Considering each of us want to see the others in a ditch when driving 🤣
😂
Lynette. Sell the truck luv.
Or some kind of penile surgery
Not Tony's Tradies! This policy has been giving us more death and aggression on roads for a decade!
Free zones were once classed as lunatic fringe fantasies of the libertarian right, this is no longer the case. The ideology of ‘exit’ was born of r/w economists and thinkers such as Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, Michael Oliver, and James Buchanan. open.substack.com/pub/european...
Wasn't he white? Nerves were quickly calmed in the Aussie media landscape.
He was bang on about Thatcher.
The way you actually change public opinion is by getting enough people and sources to repeat an idea that it starts to "seem" correct, even like the consensus, to many listeners, at which point they'll often adopt it.
If you read the original tweet it is explained that politicians appeared to insist on calling it a terror threat after learning that the AFP called it a farce. Or in their words "was never going to cause a mass casualty event". A handful of characters seeking to cause other harm. So not terrorism 🤡
🤡
“And what it really does is — the reason we call it a silent coup — was [because] barely anyone knows about this stuff. This is an international system that was consciously set up to put to bed the democratic movements which had arisen after the Second World War, and barely anyone knows about it”
Beazley has been up the arms industry's arse since forever. Absolute scumbag.
Another case of the extreme arrogance of the US military treating Australia like a doormat. This time, not even bothering to get approval before building big jet fuel dumps.
China would have these things saved for targeting no doubt.
The deal stays, we get nothing, except being allowed to be the tip of the spear for the war they start with China. As it stands we get slaughter and destruction (like Ukraine) and they get $368 billion. That's literally the deal. Why? Captured corrupt politics.
Anyone thinking about voting for the ALP/LNP duopoly really should read this accounting of where our national wealth has gone. Vast profits for foreign corporations while we’ve been impoverished. We’ve let traitors quietly sell our nation out. #auspol
Um, well leaving aside the fact you never asked how we could fund the $360 billion Aukus debacle…we could scrap the $14 billion per year in fossil fuel subsidies, abolish the 50% capital gain at tax discount or stop giving away more than half of the gas we export FOR FREE. There, fixed it!
Next time you hear someone ask how will the govt pay for just remember right now the richest 10% get $27.5bn in tax breaks on just super, and negative gearing and the capital gains discount on housing www.theguardian.com/business/gro...
Here’s another pointer to just how fast geopolitics are changing.👇 The US is no longer a reliable ally. Yet here the ALP/LNP duopoly have got their heads in the sand, hoping it can still be business as usual. Wishful thinking is no strategy. #AUKUS #auspol
Believing the world’s richest oligarch is taking time away from his life of yachts, islands, private jets & billion dollar corporate welfare checks, to become a lowly civil servant, just to help normal working ppl bc of his passion for democracy, is a comical level of delusion.
Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.
Richard Flanagan got it right recently in an article for the Nine papers #auspol
Signed
Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇 90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free. To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax. Add your name to make them pay their fair share: theaus.in/collect_gas_... #auspol
There is only one established left party in Australia and it's the Greens. Not sure that's the yardstick, bet the claim is Labor is left.
Marles is simply a paid up representative of the US arms industry. Pure and simple.
You could enquire here. x.com/aaronetwork?...
You cant win against rusties on either side because they have been completely indoctrinated. Overton window etc
The only people who can depend on Labor at this point are foreign coal and gas companies, billionaires and Zionists. Thats it.
Chalmers, needed 6 months ago. Too late now.
It's only the little people's wilful ignorance and own greed that facilitates it. We could stop it all tomorrow.
Nope. Take a look around pal. They ain't making anything better. Unless meaningful results means late stage capitalist hell.
Well said. These puppets are all extremist activists. For capital.
Not waiting. Designing.
We going to need a bigger boat as famously once said. We're going to in fact have to use our own. The streets and protest.
Zero almost. None. It was setup to shield corruption. This is a fact based and irrefutable statement.
The current behavior of the UK Gov't confirms this.
"prisoners and detainees" v "hostages" language is everything.
Just heard that the Head of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation described the phrase ‘illegally occupied Palestinian Territories’ as an "antisemitic expression". Does he realise he just called the International Court of Justice antisemitic? WTF happened to Australia's establishment?
Michael West is one of Australia's best journalists and his media operation has done some valuable work. Hope people can chip in a little to help out here.

Liberals will always aid the right, and it’s simple to explain why. Both liberals and the right are supporters of Capitalism, the left would like to replace it with something fairer, so given the choice they’ll pick pro capitalism even if that costs the lives of marginalised people
i wish everyone could understand that the political party you percieve as your ally is working with the political party you percieve as your enemy to sacrifice you and your loved ones on the altar of capitalism and you're cheering it on regardless of what color tie or baseball cap you're wearing
I'm sorry you feel like that. But these are adult conversations and you were backing murderers and I'm not going to be silent about it. All the best.
I didn't deliberately try and hit a nerve. I'm sorry for what happened to you. That is beyond imagining and horrific. I know people that have suffered too. Take care of yourself. You want kindness and justice just like I do.
Zionist lobby
Because they can always depend on the rusteds and the LNP base, to back legacy media resistance to truth. Wilful ignorance is a given, propaganda and lies work and they always win even when they lose 🏆
