Facts, issues, law, conclusion. It's a straightforward process, ehoa. It's not a ground offensive, not a war, not a conflict - it is a genocide carried out with the intent of possessing and occupying Palestinian lands & waters. Report the facts. Be journalists not genocide collaborators.

Hastieโ€™s face whilst watching Dutts panic attack his way through pressers is also top value.

Dutton has always been a dud orator. He doesnโ€™t seem to be coping well with the pressure of candidacy. He just looks like heโ€™s shitting himself. Every facial muscle is having a breakdance battle against every other facial muscle. Heโ€™s tensing visibly at the sound of certain journo voices.

At-least he will be factual and not a tangential supernova of shit-talking. #Election2025

If the centrepiece of ABCโ€™s election coverage is the ex-Murdoch/Costello smorgasboard of dribblers then I suggest we all get our election news from that child, Leo, who runs his own news channel between double maths and recess.

The Signal leak (and its contents) is basically what happens when conservative white male student politicians in any Anglosphere country become vested with the power to rain death from above.

NRL head office: We take the wellbeing of our players very seriously and are committed to improving the safety of the game

NRL marketing to the US: This game is basically a demolition derby and at least one player breaks a leg or gets their head knocked off in every game.

A lot of people thought things would get this bad. But I donโ€™t think anyone expected it would be this stupid

Marco Rubio is like having Tom Wambsgabs as Secretary of State, a man whose ambition is to be an empty suit, on board to take any stance, say anything, whatever the boss wants, and sponge up some of the pain that comes back, all for the trappings, the title, the plane rides, the suits, to be there.

Itโ€™s the same old bullshit flung at any Australian Mฤori or PI (roughly 52% of graded Rugby League players) when they stick their hands up for culture and for mana motuhake at the start of the season. Cue the big sook because they didnโ€™t play for the colony at end of last season

The forgotten story of Tupaia, the star navigator who helped James Cook reach Australia - ABC News

If Cook never made it to Botany Bay, that colony may well have been in Patagonia.

So, if you're celebrating today, celebrate some facts.

Oi Oi Oi!

4. 1776 - the American Revolution entailed that English convicts could no longer be dumped there.

After this, the inventor of the sandwich (Lord Sandwich), Joseph Banks and some former American colonists lobbied the Home Office to establish a penal colony in New South Wales.

3. In 1770, Polynesian navigator Tupaia ensured that James Cook didn't die a meandering death by starvation in the Pacific Ocean. Tupaia is the reason the Endeavour made it to Botany Bay in one piece so as possessory claims could be made on behalf of the Mad King George III.

2. The Black Act 1723. This law basically criminalised being poor and starving. English prisons became full, the excess 'criminal class' was shipped off to penal colonies in the Americas.

1. Shifts in land use/ownership - The Enclosure Movements / Death of the Commons / Forcing of English peasantry off their land into the Dark Satanic Mills of the Industrial Revolution.

(1/6) There are four key convict chains of causation that resulted in the colonisation, first of Gadigal and Darug lands and then the rest of the Australian mainland.

Tonight in DC, Trump invited Elon Musk on stage during his speech, but he did NOT invite JD Vance.

As weโ€™ve been saying, itโ€™s President-elect Musk and Vice President-elect Trump.

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

Would like the Aus XI to win the test.

Would also really like it if Justin Langer stopped talking.

ABC News 2024 politics year in review montage is a basically Lib puffery.

The public broadcaster is munted.

They are going full oligarchy to the sound of silent consent. When fascism takes over, it is not with a bang but a gradual normalization of corruption, nepotism, and organized crime.

They'll slow boil democracy until nothing is left. The time to act is now, the time to protest is overdue.

The new ABC CEO is the same Hugh Marks who hosted a $10,000 a head Liberal Party fundraiser at Nine's headquarters.

Wow.

We'll now have a middle-aged white male who supports conservative causes in charge of the ABC.

What a refreshing change.

I mean . . . I can hardly wait.

Dutts just called Angus Taylor "one of the most capable minds in the country."

What's the yardstick? A Cocker Spaniel?
