'Whinge and win': We mustn't mistake loudest voices for a majority Whinge and win is how the bullies, the incompetent and the just plain annoying seem to always get their way.

Whinge and win is exhausting, but can be ignored

Perfect post @demwar.bsky.social. #auspol #NetZero #ClimateCrisis

Bribed some of the locals with an apple to be my models again 📷

hey quick question: is anyone in the government's leadership going to say anything about the ABC? surely a high profile unfair dismissal linked to managing cowing to a lobby group, and involving board meddling, is worth saying something? maybe even an investigation? some consequences for the board?

It seems our ABC has decided who will succeed Ley as opposition leader.

Can the world ignore him for 24hrs? Media & socials. Just one day without seeing his bullshit. Please🙏 #sotiredofhim #giveusabreak #youknowwho

How the fuck do we live on a planet where the worst men in the world publicly fight each other while continuing to destroy millions of lives yet the media narrative STILL isn’t focussed on how far too many men are far too emotional to lead?

An Eastern Kingbird flying low over the lake, hunting down flying insects.

A spiral galaxy seen face-on. Across its center, a broad bar of blazing stars shines. A glowing spiral arm extends from each end of this bar, both making almost a full turn through the galaxy’s disk before fading out. The arms contain sparkling blue stars, pink spots of star formation, and dark threads of dust that follow both spiral arms into and across the central bar. A foreground star sits atop the galaxy.

Imagine if our health minister said he wanted to spend more after meeting with public health experts. Or the climate minister said he wanted to spend more after meeting with climate scientists…no chance

But defence…

Defence spending never causes budget deficits or high interest rates #climate

Omg yep, they overestimate mine by 30 - 40k every year. If I made that much, I wouldn't be trying to survive off DSP 🤣

Yesssss! I'm only hanging on to FB & TikTok until this is available

Even when I know one's coming, it's still a jumpscare to see it

💯 this is what will happen

I thought anything under 100 goes to recount? Must be a myth I've heard at some point that stuck

They'll also find a way to blame Labor & Greens for their break-up

I mask inside 😷, wear shoes and clothes, use an umbrella when it rains, a hat for the sun, a seatbelt in the car, a helmet on the bike.

I understand risk and take measures to minimize it. I use my brain to think. I cherish my health. I protect my family.

I'm weird like that.

Because rich people have too much money and have time to think of how they can screw the rest of us to get more because they can’t be satisfied?

It’s a No-alition now??

So according to Dave Sharma, getting “smashed” in a record landslide after going to the election opposing Labor’s Tax on ppl with 3mill+ Super, means they now have a “mandate” to keep opposing this tax?

How does that work?🤦‍♂️🤣 no wonder they never learn. Ever. #QandA

Friends overseas, a small explainer of what has just happened.

The Aussie right wing party who lost horribly in the last election is actually two right wing parties tied together like rooting dogs.

Well they've split up.

Oh my!

Bridget McKenzie says that the Nationals walked away because they'd been asked to abandon...'policies that we had fought for, that only a few weeks ago, we fought an election on," McKenzie says.'

And lost.

So the Nationals have said they're not listening.

#Auspol. Good on the National Miners Party for going ut alone. David Littleproud said they want to focus on their Constituents and this will allow them to focus on Policy's for Gina and others in the Mining Industry. I wish our rural Aussies and Farmers had a party to represent them, alas no.

If Labor is ’the enemy’ he must be at war with the Australian people as we voted for them as our government for the next 3 years.
Geeze I so dislike such language. Pure Trumpian.

Littleproud: “our enemy is the Labor party”.
Zero recognition in his words and attitude that an Opposition holds the Government to account on behalf of the entire electorate - it is not “at war” with the Govt.

Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus
