Despite the spin, the Coalition and News Corp remain mouthpieces for billionaire interests bent on stalling climate action and truth alike.

Liberals and News Corp in lock-step with interests of climate denying billionaires

Anytime you think your own family has ridiculous drama, consider Barnaby Joyce’s family situation and breathe a sigh of relief.

The choice for the Liberals is simple … risk shedding some votes to right wing rural folk or risk losing even more votes to centrist inner-city dwellers. Today may be the day they vote themselves out of any future relevance. #StuckInOpposition #auspol

A 3 by 5 grid of warning lights from a car dashboard. Sauron has broken your car You have trapped your arms in the seatbelt The genie has wet the bed Your steering wheel looks like a sloth You're being spied on by an owl The exhaust pipe is in your windscreen A Victorian submarine has landed on you You're not ripped enough to drive Your tyres are on fire You need to restring your lyre Your radio is too old-fashioned A dead Japanese girl will kill you in a week Your vision is obscured by bubble-gum There are marbles in your silencer You are not a number. You are a free man

Ever wondered what those engine management lights mean?

Libs defecting to the Nats. Barnaby Joyce defecting to One Nation! Why don't they just become one party under Gina Rinehart's guidance: The Coalition Rinehart Australia Party (CRAP for short!) #auspol

One is pretty convinced that three women called Pat, Lorraine and Margaret with an urn & a swear jar could have done a helluva lot better than this.

Charlie Kirk died in the America he wanted I mourn the loss of human life. I feel compassion, empathy and grief at an inexcusable killing. But I find nothing to lionise in his legacy.

"Kirk represented everything we should be pushing back against. And if you are worried that saying so will trigger more violence, and a further slide into authoritarianism, then you have already ceded the space."

A note on Linda Reynolds A brief list of things that can be said about Linda Reynolds without defaming her…

Editorial: Linda Reynolds sent confidential documents related to Higgins to a columnist at News Corp because she was “incredibly angry”. She referred a settlement paid to Higgins to the National Anti-Corruption Commission. satpa.pe/OrQ1XIq

The US is again withdrawing from UNESCO. They're again attacking the international body they were a founding member of and which is dedicated to international cooperation in education, science and culture. The US calls these "divisive social and cultural causes".

Jillian Segal’s husband is John Roth, whose company Henroth Investments Pty Ltd donated $50,000 in 2023-24 to Advance Australia, one of the most inflammatory and divisive special interest groups in Australian politics

IKR? No one to see in almost every shot

RW lackeys will b losing their minds. None of their efforts to polish that Vic Lib shyte show has made any difference to a jaded electorate -likely sick of the Deeming-Pesutto Days of our Live’s saga of spite, hubris & blackmail for bloviators.

Vic Labor are on track to win historic fourth term.

The problem with handing out government awards to politicians is that they didn’t do ‘service’ for the community. They got paid well to provide services to their Party, the Party’s donors and their ego.

Scott Morrison's King's Birthday Honour DISHONOURS the King's Birthday Honours selection process.
Who made the RIDICULOUS decision to grant an award to this incompetent, lying WORST EVER PM?!
Did Morrison secretly appoint himself to the King's Birthday Honours and Awards Secretariat too?

“First they came for the people with more than $3 million in superannuation and I said nothing..”

A shrivelled old white man stands behind a lectern that has a poster on it reading: Hope. Reward. Opportunity. For all Australians. The man is former Liberal party president, Alan Stockdale, who yesterday made comments saying the Liberal party is already too full of "assertive women". And no, the photo and the article are not from 1954.

In News at 6 - boring old Australian white man says something offensive & sexist about assertive women

In other news, the Liberal party of Australia claim they can't understand why so many women eschew the party and how on earth the rise of the Teals started

More news as it comes to hand . . . .
