John Howard. The Rodent. I blame him for the wrecking of Australia. He stirred up racism & got us into a phoney war. Our housing crisis stems from his policies. He divided us. All he cared about was the rich getting richer on our backs.
Every gov since has continued his crap. Including Labor.

"within Albanese’s cabinet, the fiercest resistance to wider public-hearing powers for the NACC came from Albanese himself"

This secretive and unaccountable government rots from the head. #NACC #robodebt #auspol

Get ready for 2 years of headlines from MSM with the phrase "Andrew Hastie says" while also pitching him as the future leader of the LNP to the Australian public.
#auspol

“intercepted in international waters” by a military force is an attack. “Captured” in international waters is abducted. These are illegal acts of aggression. How anyone can keep providing cover - including the Australian public broadcaster - for the Israeli military at this point is beyond me.

Gaza has become journalism’s graveyard. Killing journalists is killing the truth | Anthony Bellanger If we accept that reporters die in Gaza, we pave the way for other regimes to consider the murder of journalists a normal instrument of war

Journalists should be writing about this over and over in every publication.

"Gaza has become the worst graveyard for journalists in contemporary history."

Australian political commentators are also atrocious. That is a major problem when the government is so secretive and lacks integrity. We need better information and much more explanation and consultation for the needed major reforms. #auspol

There is power in a Union, right Sally? The voice of Australian unions has been missing from the public call to end Israel’s genocide in Gaza, contrasting with global efforts abroad.

'The voice of @australianunions.bsky.social has been missing from the public call to end Israel’s genocide in Gaza, contrasting with global efforts abroad.'

My latest on the state of the unions:

'There is power in a Union, right Sally?'
#auspol @sallymcmanus.bsky.social

Also missing on public health and education.

There's not a single Australian @albomp.bsky.social would protect from Israel, is there? Nothing about Zomi. Nothing at all about the flotilla, or the doctors serving in Gaza. Just gravely concerned inc. and some mumbly centrist trite about a two state solution. This should terrify us all

We've had enough!

There's a rally in Brisbane City at 1700 today Friday 3rd.

We're going!

We are in our 70's, and definitely no friend of this apology of a government.

#albomp ... listen, we've had enough.

The tech that has been pushed on students and teachers over the past 15 years has done nothing but enrich tech companies. The solution is not more of it.

"Gifted" at that age is pretty much correlated to socioeconomic status - the care, attention and activities the child is engaged in prior to school makes a significant difference in their capabilities at the start of schooling.

Also gifted programs for kindergarten? GTFO What utter shite

Most gifted programs are really designed to placate idiot parents.

Better fund schools, give teachers the resources to be able to adapt the curriculum for students of differing abilities.

Complicity by supplying a holocaust and staying silent while a genocidal "close friend" murders and kidnaps Australians makes Morrison's "I don't hold a hose" shit seem fairly fn trivial btw

I keep hearing that, but I don't believe.

When push comes to shove, they will cave like the SCOTUS and the GOP Congress.

And the evidence is that no refused the orders to deploy Marines to L.A. That was illegal.

And we really have no history of American soldiers refusing illegal orders.

As long as the loudest folks on the left insist tone-policing, compromise on human rights, and acquiescence are our only options for a unified country, they will continue to lose the faith of the marginalized. And even when they win, they’ll just be waiting to lose the same way again.

Labor during the election: “we’ll fully fund public schools”

Labor after the election: “actually we meant private schools soz”

The AEU and its affiliates strangely quiet on this. The nsw branch is busy helping minns gut the public system.

There’s no line trump could cross that would make Albanese stop sucking his dick.

James Paterson has taken a swipe at Australians onboard a flotilla heading to Gaza with aid saying it’s a “reckless” mission aimed at trying to “manufacture a clash with the IDF”

Paterson stands with Israel against our Aussie humanitarians. Paterson is a traitor to Australia.

Update: 2 Oct 06:40 AEST #GlobalSumudFlotilla

“Unarmed people of conscience, abducted in international waters. This is piracy. This is kidnapping. The flotilla did not break any laws."

The problem isn’t just that politicians sometimes “lie when defending their record.” The problem is that lying has become their record. They campaign on fear, distract with culture wars, and then quietly vote to enrich themselves and their donors while leaving regular people behind.

Moribund. Albo’s one hand ossified to the tiller while the other clutches an ancient map of a world long past. But just enough people draw comfort from the nostalgia the narrative offers; and this will be our doom.

sick of innovation now being confined to "app that breaks laws" or "software that clips tickets". we used to be a country that made things. i want to see real breakthroughs, like someone who invents pasta that cooks in 30 seconds

For so long as American militarism persists, at home is the best place for it. Better in Washington than Baghdad.

The idea that American lives are more valuable than others is a large part of how we got into this mess.
