Angus Taylor caught fabricating immigration numbers in a shocking trainwreck on #abc730 - Taylor’s 500k claim is not only false, but
Ferguson “The 500k figure was put in place by policies that were agreed on by the cabinet that you were part of”💥
Well done Angus🙄 #auspol

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Angus Taylor promotes Tony Abbott, John Howard and the corpse of Martin Bormann to his front bench, as party attempts to win back voters fleeing to One Nation.

I'm confused - isn't 'PETER VAN ONSELEN' three words?

But why would people be whispering 'PETER VAN ONSELEN' in reference to Grace Tame?

Yet he has sailed through, untroubled by such exposures, always onto the next set of honours and acclaim. The media seems to have decided he's a genius, and nothing can shake that view.

Contrary to Reason Steven Pinker claims to champion Enlightenment values. But his latest book is an affront to them

In writing this, I focused on a chapter of his that concerned something I knew a bit about. I was flabbergasted. I then discovered that other people had produced similar takedowns of chapters about their own specialisms. I came to the conclusion that he's a charlatan. www.monbiot.com/2018/03/09/c...

I've often wondered how Steven Pinker's amazingly sloppy research and baseless claims* have for so long received a free pass. I wonder whether it could have something to do with a. his connections with the rich and powerful; b. his claims often aligning with what they want to hear.
*See next post.

He thinks the press gallery is stupid, and he's mostly right

Angus was a front bench member of Ley’s cabinet. As if he didn’t see the immigration blueprint that was leaked. Does he think we’re stupid? #ABC730

So they've leaked a completely odious immigration plan - and blamed Sussan Ley for it.
Now they'll launch a slightly less odious plan- and say 'it could have been worse' #abc730 #auspol

Let's seriously talk about whooping cough, because sanitised admin speak doesn't cut it. A baby or toddler. YOUR baby or toddler in hospital on oxygen, fighting for every breath. The heart wrenching whooping is the noise of her trying to breathe in. /2

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

Ai can just get fucked.

As we build out Trump's lies, let's not forget that the one they were most desperate to cover up before these came out was Melania's ties to Epstein, she of the Einstein visa.

Instead of "underage girls" I wish they would just say children.

New videos resurface showing Trump partying with underage girls We’ve all seen Pam Bondi’s petulant performance before the House this week, screaming at members of Congress as they ask why various Epstein files remain redacted for Co-conspirators and perpetrators ...

The President of the United States most likely raped girls along with his best friend Epstein.

Hey everyone. Potentially the biggest story in the country, right here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

"Billionaires like thinkers who see their exploitation of the weak as good and natural. Epstein funneled ~$20m a year to academic men who shared his ideology [and got] to hold forth in formal sessions at Harvard, condemning feeding and caring for the poor as if he were making a scholarly argument."

What I’m seeing in some of the Epstein revelations about well known scientists who maintained contact after his conviction, is folks who always thought they were the smartest person in any room, sure they could shrewdly navigate a route that gets them what they want without getting dirty themselves.

How is the Dow?

in other words the court accepted the Major Event declaration was for “public safety” when in fact it was to put police between protestors and the zionist event (Darling Harbour) despite no suggestion and no evidence that protestors intended to go anywhere other than Town Hall to Parliament House.

correction, the decision did not turn on the visit being defined as a cultural event. They could still declare it a Major Event as a political event (all other things being equal etc). The judgement does implicitly conflate z crowd safety as “participants” with (not FROM) protesters as “spectators”.

A pathetic piece from Bongiorno in which he:
- whitewashes the visit of genocide enthusiast Isaac Herzog,
- positions Albanese as a statesman above the fray of extreme reactions, and
- completely ignores the influence of the Israel lobby.
