Photo of George Brandis with the quote: โ€œWe alienated women, particularly women who wanted to work from home. We offended public servants. We offended multicultural communities. We insulted people who live in the inner cities. We didnโ€™t really have an offering for young people, particularly students. We offended other minority groups as well. It was almost as if we were running out of new people to offend.โ€

George Brandis got it wrong. The #LNP still have a few groups that they can offend ...

In the age of mass political advertising, the rich control the political messaging, with fear, distorted reality and 'alternative truths' that cannot be matched. Usually with underlying racism and science fact denial.

"The beatings will continue until social cohesion improves"

Poster seen in Sydney denouncing NSW Premier Chris Minns who ordered a brutal police attack on Palestine protesters this week, justified under the totalitarian mantra of "Social Cohesion".

Iโ€™m sorry, but seriously. Angus Taylor is THE village idiot. Heโ€™s as dumb as dog ๐Ÿ’ฉ, he doesnโ€™t have an ounce of self-awareness, & he has ZERO public appeal. Heโ€™s as corrupt as fvck (watergate, Clovergate, grassgate etc), has no ethics whatsoever, AND selected Jacinta Price as depury last time.

All of the current LNP would have been extreme right and ignored in the LNP when I was young. Sad that the party lost its way. We need a competent opposition party to keep the wind up Albo.

This is pure evil. She has covered up for pedophiles for decades. She wont even look at them and she heads the DOJ. Disgraceful! Time for a reboot America.

NACC "working as intended". Well that is not what the public intended. We wanted outcomes and convictions for corruption.

Ever since the horrific acts of brutality by NSW Police against peaceful protestors on Monday night, Chris Minns has backed their actions. This is very very disturbing. Here's (some of) what I said in Parliament about it.

Parody of the scene in the movie Ghost when the ghost and artist are shaping the clay pot. In this version the ghost is Epstein. The artist is Donald Trump.

Totally unnecessary violence. Maybe they have been watching too many social media videos. Politicans need to stamp this out of our police force.

Political illustration of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese seated inside a car, pointing and speaking dismissively. Through the car window behind him are protest signs reading โ€œDeclare recognition of the State of Palestine,โ€ โ€œCancel the weapons contracts,โ€ โ€œSanction Israel,โ€ โ€œExpel the ambassador,โ€ and โ€œBack the ICJ case against Israel,โ€ with Parliament House visible in the background. Albanese wears US and Israeli flag pins on his lapel. A speech bubble from him reads: โ€œYeah ok, I get itโ€ฆ genocide, but please! We have some social cohesion to focus on here!โ€

The language of โ€œsocial cohesionโ€ was never neutral. It was a calculated, callous move to silence dissent on Palestine. You can keep it. Decent Australians demand justice, international law upheld, and an end to our complicity with a rogue apartheid state committing genocide.
