Labor stumbles behind public conscience, slowly shifting on Gaza once the outrage is undeniable.

The Liberals? No shame, no hesitation - just unwavering support for a regime starving children and bombing civilians. Silence as endorsement. Genocide as policy.

"We can’t trick voters into thinking we care about the climate," says Matt Canavan, while single-handedly reminding every teal voter why they left.

American beef in Australia is like sending instant coffee to Italy.

Who in Australia would want this?

Penny Wong’s right - Faruqi was seeking attention….

Attention to the fact that the govt’s response to Israel’s mass killing and starvation is as effective as a slap with a wet lettuce.

Honestly, an actual wet lettuce might do more.

Victorian Liberals trying to pressure Labor on the Comm Games fiasco yesterday:

No policies, no alternative plan, just whinging and walking next to a man with bagpipes - because Scotland has the games now.

Not opposition. Just noise in tartan. Politics as pantomime.

Hanson represents the calcification of public thought - an ossified relic of white anxiety, preserved and paraded like a national artefact long past its relevance.

She is what happens when grievance becomes a lifestyle, and ignorance becomes a brand.

Below is the Penny Wong I respected - the Penny Wong who called out injustice.

Today she rolled over, and chose silence in the face of genocide.

Has she become what she once derided?

One Nation Senators turn their back on First Nations people by refusing to respect Welcome to Country, and there's zero consequences.

But speak out for starving Palestinians and that results in punishment?

What kind of Parliament is this?

Faruqi held a sign: β€œGaza is starving. Words won’t feed them. Sanction Israel.”

Labor and Liberal censured Faruqi and banned her from taking part in any overseas parliamentary delegations.

Labor and Liberals on a unity ticket to punish truth before they ever confront genocide.

Louise Milligan’s work has sparked reform once the truth was revealed. I hope this story has the same effect.

As Louise Milligan notes, this is a systemic issue.

So the question is not just why did Greg Malham last so long.
But how many more Greg Malhams are there?

When video of this surgeon went viral, his colleagues were the least surprised It took a viral video for Australia to see a side of a celebrated neurosurgeon that some of his colleagues and patients had known about for years.

Greg Malham’s record is jaw-dropping, but the real scandal is how long it was allowed to continue.

Greg Malham became known in recent federal election campaign for being filmed smashing Monique Ryan’s sign and laughing about "burying the body".

Four Corners looked deeper, and what they found is very disturbing.

Does anyone know if this guy was a candidate in Tasmania's State Election yesterday. It seems like a huge missed opportunity if not.

One of the other big funders of Advance for the past few years is a pro-Israel woman who likes to keep her name quiet and off social media

She donates large sums to Advance every year (over $50K)

But hey, ho - social cohesion and racism and all of that says Jillian Segal

$50k from a trust linked to Jillian Segal to racist group Advance.

Labor runs interference, Libs don’t care (they gave Adv $500k), and media silent.

A snippet of @anthonyklan.bsky.social & @davemilbo.bsky.social unpacking Segal’s careful dance: plausible deniability and no accountability.

The real issue isn’t just Moira Deeming’s prejudice - it’s a Liberal Party too weak to stand up to it.

Tony Abbott thinks Albanese spending 6 days in communist China is 'striking'.

This from a guy whose party burned our relationship with our largest trading partner, bigger than the next 3 combined, and wiped out wine and lobster exports.

Striking, indeed.

Now, fuck off, Tony.

Tim Wilson has hired the fake tradie from his campaign ads in his electorate office.

It'll certainly be useful to have someone in Tim's office who knows their way around a tool.

None of this passes the pub test - The Shot Jillian Segal’s report, the entire double-spaced, decorative and glossy 16 pages of it, is largely insulting dross.

Barnaby Joyce's drought envoy report by sms was a joke.

Jillian Segal’s is more dangerous: sleek, unprofessional, and Orwellian in intent.

No evidence. No balance. Just propaganda in legalese.
Ronni Salt exposes it with surgical precision.

Jess Wilson’s returned to complaining about debt and frontline services, while promising to slash the public sector.

But yesterday, Brad Battin promised tax cuts for Airbnb Landlords and elite private schools.

Liberals love landlords, hate renters, and can’t maths.

Piers Morgan interviews Daniella Weiss, dubbed the godmother of the settler movement.

Weiss has signed up 800 'settler' families ready to move into Gaza, and she stands with those who say they want to β€œcleanse it of camel riders.”

Think about that as you listen to this; πŸ‘‡

Lol - If this is how they act with cameras on, imagine the chaos off-camera.

Victorian Liberals continuing to back Deeming are digging their party’s political grave ahead of the 2026 election.

So extreme is Jillian Segal’s plan, even Amnesty International has condemned it.

Albanese commissioned it, then stood next to Segal as she launch it. How is he going to walk this back?
