It seems to this old fool that we're constantly bombarded with a range of fabrications where we have "good folk" vs "evil dogs" - and visa-versa

I struggle to see events in this way. It's probably a personality deficit

But I arseholes and victims
On all sides

Let's eradicate the #RSoles

Ghislane Maxwell unalives herself like nobody has ever unalived themselves before in the history of unaliving, the week after next because Trump loves the two weeks timeframe.

Good test for Albanese and Chalmers. About time things got real about reforming a tax system designed to benefit the wealthy. A nation’s tax system should not be an avenue for wealth creation and wealth growth for the minority of privileged people. Rent seeker’s culture.

The US is a very foreign country The Albanese Government has recently handed over a second tranche of some $800 million Australian tax-payers’ dollars to the United States, with the total now more than a billion dollars. This is part...

"Leaders like Richard Marles, who seek to tie their country to Uncle Sam’s coattails, are endangering an Australia that should be standing tall, an independent country"

Who had been sanctioned?
Why do we still have an ambassador from a genocidal apartheid Nuclear armed nation?
Have we issued arrest warrants for those wanted for crimes against humanity?

We've sent well words and "done" fuck all

β€œI feel the same distress about the situation in Gaza as the people who marched yesterday.”

This can be conveniently ignored if you ask @albomp.bsky.social or @senatorwong.bsky.social

Albo, if you think we're sloganeering, you're playing a very dangerous game

Today "porridge" is the big item on the terribly named "News Breakfast"

It's not like there's a global immediate threat from climate change, no genocide, no wars, no great science

Just hairdressers, pfaff and lobbyists

You're still the only one that are the truth.

We know mate

Shame your "evidence" is always cherry picked and ignores work already verified

You keep howling at the moon old mate

It's mildly amusing, not scientific

It's foreign policy. We're all part of it. Like my country #Denmark #Australia is #complicit in #genocide and #war-crimes. And has a duty to stop it. I'll do what I think is right. Your call is rejected. #auspol
