Why can’t we legislate this in Australia? I mean seriously, the amount of space taken up by car parks would make this really sensible and will help bring some needed shade to our cars during hot summer days #auspol

The votes are counted and the quiet shattered as treaty arrives in Victoria The first treaty with our First Peoples came after a long debate and even longer wait.

Yesterday, the Victorian parliament voted to enact a statewide treaty with its First Peoples after a long day of debate that stretched into the night. A really good forward step on the pathway of reconciliation - now the test is to see it in action. #auspol

Trump’s fantasy of having one of his apparently uncontrollable liquid shits land on the American flag

I guess if I *had* to pick my favorite part of the video the president posted where he’s a big boy pilot and he pew pew pews his poop all over everyone, it would be the part where he shits on the American flag?

Price is delusional at best … the shenanigans that we are seeing from the Abbott camp can only do one thing - blow up any semblance of unity amongst the Libs and make them unelectable.

These watches appear to be ripoffs of famous designs. Likely from some factory that normally produces "homage" watches and they just swapped out the branding.

When both Steph and Seth are on the court together, the announcers will have a great time staying accurate! 😂 looking forward to the season!

Appliances were once built to last – now they’re built to break. How do we fix it? Calls echo Productivity Commission report that says mandatory labelling would facilitate repairs and help consumers make better decisions

The right to repair should be a fundamental consumer right. We know devices can be repaired but tech players make it just too onerous. Right to repair can help mitigate environmental degradation #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Without the movies, the books would have been forgotten pretty quickly. I remember reading a few pages when infamous and thought that the writing was shite!

The largest group in ICE detention is now immigrants with no criminal record, with more than 16,500 currently being held.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about going after the “worst of the worst.”

This was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

It’s OK to speak ill of the dead. In fact, sometimes we must Charlie Kirk’s murder is a tragedy. But I cannot speak kindly of a person who, when living, was filled to the brim with hate.

Too many US journalists are impressed by Charlie Kirk's numbers. But let's not forget who he really was.

Noting the reactions amongst #auspol this week, I thought it might be appropriate to remind folks of Andrew Hansen’s genius youtu.be/FtxqohNtLIg

Neo-Nazis and racist rallies: why it’s important the Australian media call them for what they are

When reporting on racist rallies, it’s important the media don’t fall for the shadowy language used by organisers.

Trump wouldn’t call the National Guard to stop an out-of-control insurrection that led to the violent invasion of the Capitol, with Congress huddled in fear behind locked doors and under tables.

But he’s sending an invasion of armed Guardsmen to DC to…defend against…hoagie throwers?

Hundreds form human chain to help Melbourne’s oldest bookshop relocate after more than a century Literature lovers braved wintry weather to pass thousands of books from Hill of Content’s original Bourke Street premises to its new home

I think we need to stop obsessing over the mushroom murders and turn our attention to the NT coroner’s inquest report into the police shooting and death of Kumanjayi Walker by policeman Zach Rolfe

Grok: "but father, I thought you were a free speech absolutist?"

His name is Senator ALEX Padilla.

Why do I get the feeling that what we are seeing is a potential repeat of Bush/Blair’s “weapon of mass destruction” in 2003? Saddam Hussein was not a good person (duh!) but in any war, it is typically the innocent that suffer the most! Hopefully AU doesn’t get dragged into this inadvertently #auspol

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Melbourne is still the most livable city in Australia. Take that Cookers. 😆

You have to respect the sheer economics professor of this

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Miss having Barrie Cassidy as host. Despite have worked for Hawke, he never came across as a shill and would entertain opposing views. The quality of the discourse went downhill when he retired.

This has been a long time coming. Let’s not pretend that much has been America first. For more than 20 years they have enjoyed the hegemony following the disintegration of the USSR and now they are withdrawing from the “rules based order” that they drove/developed. #auspol
