Andrew Windsor has been called out. His punishment is public humiliation. Andrew is persona non grata in his world, isolated for the rest of his life. The Andrew pile on must not obscure or shelter the other perpetrators. They should all be identified & prosecuted. These women ALL deserve justice.

Instead of seeking to learn the lessons of America’s demise, in which neoliberalism played a central role, Labor continues to embrace this toxic ideology.
Careerist political elites who are financially insulated and detached from the economic realities much of society confront

They are bound in chains to this failed economic system and dragging us all to the bottom.

Albanese and Chalmers are riven with neoliberal dogma.

Poverty is a policy choice. Time for a new policy to bring a million Australian kids out of poverty The point.com.au

“Given that the low rate of income support payments keeps many families in poverty, reducing child poverty is not inherently complicated."

A polite way of saying: the Albanese govt is choosing to keep a million kids in #poverty.

That's a lot "left behind". #auspol

Ah! Pushing up prices and increasing profits are not driving this at all.

Lawyers move to block Nauru deportations over lack of adequate healthcare Human rights lawyers have applied to intervene in the High Court case of a man facing deportation to Nauru, arguing the government should be barred from deporting people to places where they face death or serious harm.

The hoo ha in Britain over the issue of the newly commoner Andrew Mountbatten Windsor nonetheless remaining 8th on line to the Throne, suggests it's high time for a revival of the delicious Alec Guinness film
"Kind Hearts and Coronets".

In all of history no authoritarian/fascist Dictator has ever been removed at the ballot box - this ends in 1 of 3 ways:
Trump dies in office
There is a coup
The people revolt

Americans don’t realise the ballot box is useless against the cabal unleashing Project 25

Democrats should be taking the fight to Trump – the problem is, he’s got them battling each other | Jonathan Freedland Elections across the US next week should be easy pickings for the opposition. But they’re finding it hard to beat a player who breaks all the rules, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

"Plenty of younger Democrats see Mamdani as radical and inspiring, drawn to his message of 'affordability'
...They see Cuomo as the embodiment of an exhausted, morally compromised centrism that cannot beat Trump."

Younger Democrats are correct. #VoteMamdani

Agreed. Enough with the Andrew side show. The main game is justice for all victims of the Trump/Epstein sex trafficking ring.

Is Andrew's excommunication enough? The jury's out Prince Andrew has been exiled to a kind royal house arrest but the jury is still out on whether it's enough to stem damage to the monarchy.

Wrong question.
And who gives AF about the monarchy anyway.

The key issue is what will deliver justice for Virginia Guiffre and other victims/survivors.

Grattan on Friday: Albanese govt hasn’t walked its talk about accountability - News | InDaily, Inside South Australia Labor came to power in 2022 promising a new form of transparent, accountable politics. As recent incidents have shown, there's little sign of that, writes Michelle Grattan.

A poodle is a dog Christopher Pyne was still a cabinet minister when he met with EY to discuss taking a job with the consultancy. There was no confusion about the purpose of the meeting.

“It is revealing that so many politicians become lobbyists or consultants. Most are short of other skills. They leave with a bucket of turkey grease and a knowledge of which hallways to slide down.” #auspol

'Very dangerous' supercell storms could bring potential tornadoes, giant hail Australia's storm season shifts into top gear, and the next 72 hours will deliver a combination of rain, showers or thunderstorms to the eastern two-thirds of the country.

We need a single central watchdog to bring our domestic, sexual and family violence services in line - to ensure best-practice supports for women and children.

National watchdog needed for violence against women, commissioner says The Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Commission found systems meant to keep governments accountable are so fragmented they are leading to authorities passing the buck on responsibility.

There's been too little progress on the shockingly high rates of violence against women and children in Australia.

The government has failed to act on a series of enquiries and reports. Our responses have been inadequate and fragmented.

Family and friends 'taken or killed': From Australia, Emad is watching horrors unfold As Sudan's Darfur region faces an escalating crisis, hundreds are dead and families abroad wait helplessly for news of loved ones.

The violence in Sudan has left our Sudanese community heartbroken and feeling helpless.

I'm hopeful Australia can work with international partners to push for safe passage, humanitarian aid and peace.

Buried detail in Labor's bill reveals how the government wants to override laws — and never tell you why Labor's reforms to environmental law establish a new power to wave through any project a government wants, for any reason. And it can do so in secret.

But don't worry, Graeme Samuel is waving his finger at us and telling us it's all good...

US Democrats aren't the Left.
UK Labour aren't the Left.
AUS Labor aren't the Left.
(They're all centre-right to right wing)

US Republicans are Far Right.
UK Tories are Far Right.
AUS Libs & Nats are Far Right.
I very much want a Govt of the Left. #USPolitics #UKPolitics #auspol

Always good when celebrities make the case for democracy & science, and against fascist stupidity.

A pity that most US legacy media will not.

Either because their owners/editors are complicit with the Trump regime.
Or they have some stupid idea of trying to 'balance' democracy and fascism.

That would freak me out! I’d be under the table with Unit!

Baltimore policeman in a police car trying to run down an unarmed civilian.

Watching the terrifying behaviour of police in the USA, attacking unarmed civilians w/o cause, a question: how much training do police officers in the USA receive? (I just saw the video of a Baltimore policeman in a police car trying to run down an unarmed pedestrian!) #USPolitics #policing #justice

Against my better instincts I started watching Running Point. I like it. It makes me smile.

"There is no pause for the Palestinians. There hasn’t been for decades. Israel remains committed to condemning them to perpetual dispossession and ethnic cleansing. And the UK media remains complicit, shielding Israel as it carries out its strategic objective."

And not just the UK media.
