Co-author of Liberal election review says party members will be ‘horrified’ at decision to suppress it The unvarnished assessment of the Liberals’ disastrous 2025 campaign won’t see the light of day following a decision from the party’s executive.

It went against earlier assurances he and his co-author, former New South Wales state minister Pru Goward, had been given,

Just saw Jimmy Carr at baggage arrivals Canberra 💅

Exactly what happens historically all the other times,
- Factions form, infighting for interim leadership
- Civil wars, unrest
- Infrastructure, basic services & systems fail
- Civilians harmed/killed
- rarely ever any democratic elections held within 5 years or ever
- More deaths, and…
Repeat.😏

Hell yeah I’m the President of Peace

All about choice? Liberals move childcare battlelines to vouchers for nannies and grandparents Some experts worry the policy move could threaten Australian standards and equity, raise childcare costs and encourage fraud

You can be an ally of a country but not openly support every country they invade or conflict they enter.

Just like you can support a political party but not openly support every policy they have.

This is called a democracy and what we’re meant to be fighting for.

Yes I’d be feeling even worse now if I’d voted Labor

When you're a Greens voter you get to sleep easy knowing you're supporting a party that actually represents our best nature.

They are ready to lead, with great candidates and fully-costed policy. Make sure you register to volunteer. Posting won't win elections.

Australia’s timid response to the US and Israel’s attack on Iran risks being seen as complicity | Donald Rothwell It is up to countries like Australia to stand up against aggression and make its position clear in support of international law

Our government is as sure as hell complicit ‼️

Politics live: ‘Labor knows it’s illegal’, Shoebridge says in heated debate on Iran strikes; Australian markets fall as oil price surges Follow today’s latest new updates

Greens senator David Shoebridge has accused Labor, the Coalition and One Nation of being the “three war parties”, and criticised the government for “rushing” to back the strikes on Iran.

Supporting ‘illegal aggression’ against Iran ‘the worst thing’ Australia could do, international law experts say Ben Saul says ‘rolling over’ after Israel and US attack is counterproductive for middle powers because it undermines rules-based order

Labor swallows MOSSAD lies time and again.

#auspol

So in backing the US and Israel's illegal war, will Australia be accepting more refugees from the middle east? Or just the white ones? #auspol #iran

Looks like China has joined the war. They flying in ammunition. Fuck me this is getting really fucking seriously fast.😩 How will things now stand with fuckwit Albo sending us into the war the US side with our heavy reliance on Chinese trade? 😬

🤪

It can be simultaneously true that
- Iran was held under a brutal regime who killed tens of thousands of their own civilians &
- The US/Israel invading & bombing Iran's illegal, has/will kill many civilians & historically, the strategy often makes things worse.
Not an either/or.

A push notification from copilot: A Poetic Start to Your Week See your name transformed into a poem by M365 Copilot.

my corporate dystopia now gets copilot-induced whimsy

Three-panel meme showing a woman speaking and a man listening from behind a wall. In the first panel, she says “Masks don’t work,” and the man replies “Be honest.” In the second, she says “I don’t want to wear one,” and he again says “Be honest.” In the final panel, she says “I just don’t wanna be reminded of the scary pandemic,” and the man responds, “Thank you.”

This is what it really comes down to.

Masks are a reminder the pandemic isn’t over.

🔹COVID is airborne
🔹Each infection carries cumulative risk
🔹Long COVID has no cure
🔹The pandemic isn’t over
🔹Wearing a mask is still one of the best ways to protect yourself and others

Stay informed. Stay safe.

Same reason why the UK and the EU are…our leaders are cowards who refuse to stand up to the U.S.

Yep, exactly.
Not saying Iran wasn't led by a brutal regime who's killed many of its citizens, but the propaganda going around is ludicrous and the strategy US/Israel have implemented has failed nearly every time in every country they've tried it in with worse outcomes for years/decades.

If USA citizens are shot in the face trying to take their streets back, what does the orange buffoon think will happen in Iran?

Shoot me now 🤦🏼‍♀️
Went to fill up couldn’t get the petrol cap to open nice garage man came to help.

That same analogy can be applied to Australian PM’s like Howard to Albanese with Labor having moved so far to the right they’re indistinguishable from the LNP. #auspol

Hard to tell who is a worse PM- Blair or Starmer? Labour has moved so much to the right Thatcher would probably be their leader today.
