Unsure how to report on this fresh absurdity? Translation: the U.S. and Israel, both nuclear powers who have already flattened Gaza, now claim a moral duty to 'preemptively' bomb Iran. Why? A sudden concern for international law and paranoia Iran might develop the very weapons they already have.

A cynic might ponder the skin colour of all the countries the US has been bombing back to the Stone Age since the 1950s

Truly seems the most appropriate way to acknowledge the 30th anniversary of Australia being the US’s ‘deputy sheriff’ - whole heartedly supporting the US bombing another country, despite not being clued in, even as it kills scores of children

This is completely untrue. He said "if there was any misinterpretation, then I certainly apologise", which is not an apology. He then went on to dissemble about what he had meant when he called her "difficult", and he offered no apology at all to Grace.

Gold !

Single frame. Title “Grace under fire?” Reporter stands beside PM Albanese who is tied into a knot. Albo says; “What I meant to say is, being me can be difficult.”

Difficult.

Holy fkn shizballs!!!! Thank you to everyone who has embraced this. You’re incredible - and also - not alone. It’s a mess, no one has fixed what he helped break and if anything comes from this, it’s a reminder of what we need to do to fix this

Call me crazy, but I don’t think we should cede control of the world to fascist child rapists high on ketamine.

I hope all the "difficult" women voters (and their male supporters) in Albo's electorate of Grayndler remember his insulting comment about AOTY Grace Tame at the next election. 😡 #auspol #sexism #misogyny #IStandWithGraceTame

If "difficult" means challenging an unjust status quo, Australia needs *more* difficult women. And men.

Grace Tame already has a solid track record making a difference.

Albo will be remembered for being far too *easy* with corporate donors, genocidal regimes, vested interests, and racist media.

The PM calling Grace Tame, a woman fighting for the safety of children, “difficult” is completely unwarranted. 

Labelling women as difficult won’t silence us. It won’t stop us speaking truth to power. 

Next time try “unbreakable” or “warrior” or “fierce”, Prime Minister.

The world is a complex volatile place & unfortunately for Australia our Prime Minister is not rising to the occasion #auspol

The PEOPLE’S choice

I wanted to hear how it worked, straight from the horse’s mouth, as it were.

You’ll be unsurprised to know: it was all about the grift.

(Money spent: straight from the candidate’s pocket. Monies received: straight to Poorleen’s personal - not party - bank account. Etc. 🙄)

And now we know the initial contract value $6.7m :

Fancy

Anthony Albanese called Grace Tame “difficult” in a News Corp word game. Donald Trump was merely “president”.

Throughout history women who fight to better society get punished and labelled problems

Men who are convicted criminals and whose policies kill are more likely to get a pat on the back

I say “leader” unlike you Prime Minister #auspol

Albo was asked to apply one word to various prominent people (Trump, Barnaby, Pauline etc). Grace Tame he labelled "difficult". Unconscious misogyny, which says quite a lot more than he apparently intended.

At the butchers just now and next to me a loud rant about commies, socialists, renewable energy, immigrants ... with the declaration that,"Porline will fix it!"

Anyway, that's probably me banned from buying the sausages from now on.

Good grief people are stupid

For how many more hours will the ABC sideline important Australian local & national news for this guy’s utter rubbish? It really is the American Broadcasting Corporation. #auspol

You voted for it USA but it is your children who are paying the price. Learned anything for 2026/28, USA voters? #MedSky #Measles

Brilliant !
