Rarely in history of #politics has landslide victory produced good government. As #Liberals & #Hanson are exchanging preferences it could be that her team leads Opposition.
South Australian election likely to be #Labor in landslide but who will be Opposition? theconversation.com/south-austra...
Iran, please wait in line until your number is called.
Fine piece by @paulbongiorno.bsky.social on pressure on @albomp.bsky.social re Australia's role in #Iran War. Fact is no nation can avoid pointless war staged by #Trump #Netanyahu for no valid reason

Important that report of #DennisRichardson on #Bondi massacre must be released now. We all know that this tragedy occurred because of laxity by ASIO and Police not @albomp.bsky.social. We need action before another massacre occurs.
Can #MattCanavan destroy #BarnabyJoyce and #PaulineHanson. This is prime topic of podcast OLD EVERALD AND YOUNG JAMES TALK POLITICS. We think he can but will he have to take #Nationals to extreme right to do it?
Owners of #electricvehicles are laughing all the way to the bank as result of #Iran oil crisis. There will be huge rise in demand for electric cars world wide and prime beneficiary will be #Trump mate #ElonMusk with his Tesla cars.
Look forward to enjoying lunch with you at launch of my book WALK IN THE SPIRIT. Friday 27 March Noon at Royal on the Park Brisbane. Link for your booking is

Neill Florence is co-author with me. We are only two 94 years old guys in world who have co-authored a book.
The #Iran War is not going well for #Trump. His planning of it has been a farce. Iranian regime seems to get more confident every day despite the reckless hammering they are getting.
Seems that #Trump went into #Iran war without giving any thought to Iran's role in supplying oil to world. Its not possible to get any more clueless than this.
Experienced economists tell me that if #Iran does all it can for six successive weeks to force #oil price above 100 dollars a barrel it will destroy the economies of the world. In other words they will defeat #Trump and bring USA to its knees. Its possible.
War on Middle East by #Trump & #Netanyahu has reached point of insanity. It will never end.

Seems that #Nationals have chosen #MattCanavan as their leader as he has the ability to convince members not to defect to #OneNation. But he could cause some moderates to vote for an Independent.
Every day #Trump reveals that he has no idea why he began war on #Iran and how he hopes to get out of it. Fact is he has begun a forever war that he does not control.
This is why democracy is dying in #USA.

Just pointing out @jlmjustice.bsky.social and @everaldatlarge.bsky.social that Iran has regular elections. Yes, the candidates are screened but reformists have been elected. The West have generally not worked with these elected people.
A good discussion.

A very naive #Trump has said that he & #Netanyahu will decide when the #Iran war will end. They will not. The war will continue forever as history of Middle East tell us that those Muslim nations will never forget what USA and Israel has done to them. They will never stop seeking revenge.
Who will get preferences of #Liberals & #Nationals in #Farrer by election. Independent & One Nation are likely to finish 1 & 2 so preferences of Libs and Nats will decide seat. Will they really give their preferences to #OneNation? PS. Tim Fischer would have won this easily for Nats.
A powerful message has been sent to #Trump by Pope Leo. He has told Trump & bigots who worship him that no war is holy. Only peace is holy.
We hit #Trump & #Netanyahu hard in this weekends podcast OLD EVERALD AND YOUNG JAMES TALK POLITICS. They had no valid reason to begin war with #Iran. Only the people of Iran can remove their corrupt evil bigoted govt. We should have helped create internal coup.
Good piece by #PaulBongiorno of alliance of #Canada Australia and other middle powers. Must happen with purpose commitment and speed.

Australia is democracy. #Rinehart can make political gifts to anyone she chooses. What is wrong is for the rest of us to sit idly by & allow #OneNation to win seats.

What will world be like at end of four year #Trump term. After Iran he will probably hit #Cuba then Panama so he controls canal. Then he will have another go at Greenland. Lets hope he feels too old to do more than this.
Australians were on USA submarine that sank Iranian ship. This is part of #AUKUS & is no shock. But we can debate whether we remain in AUKUS as it required @albomp.bsky.social to back #Trump on Iran.
In #Muslim world two major factions are Shiites & Sunni who hate one another's guts bit like Catholics & Protestants used to do in Christian world. Note that #Iran is Shiite nation & they fire most of their rockets at other Muslim nations that are Sunni while letting #Trump & #Israel off lightly.
Had a benevolent God been involved, I'm pretty sure he'd have adjusted the shooters sights 5 centimetres right!
Canada's #MarkCarney is one of few genuine leaders world has right now. Most of the others live in mortal fear of #Trump.
Visit to Australia by #MarkCarney PM of #Canada opens door to world in #USA no longer dominates. This is move in right direction.
Blatant price rip off by oil companies at petrol pumps. They blame it on #Iran war. Rubbish. This fuel was here before war started. They are owned by #Trump oligarchs who like him are all making billions out of war.
When #Trump was shot in the ear last year, he said #God had saved him so he could make America great again. If this is so then God was having a very off day.
Hope this weeks visit to Australia by #Canada PM Mark Carney will bring us closer to them in planning future apart from USA. World of #Trump is not our world. Huge opportunity for @albomp.bsky.social to give lead is our search for independence.
