Every Australian can see what's happening in Iran on their screens. Schoolgirls ripped to shreds. Hospitals flattened. Rivers of fire. Acid rain.

THIS is what Labor has committed Australia to. An historically immoral and illegal crime with apocalyptic consequences.

So 2 Covid-19 Royal Commissions now find Labour did an excellent job & led NZ to one of the best outcomes globally. The report also vindicates the economics. If $30 billion was spent on schools, infrastructure etc that's amazing and supportive.
National are borrowing $120 billion w/o a pandemic

Double standards anyone?
This isn;t new, either. Bullying and bashing my Muslim mate in High School, that was fine. When he fought back, well, "you're suspended" and this was the early 1990s.

Muslims traumatised after right-wing attack on community dinner A Muslim community in Ballarat is left traumatised after a man barged into a community dinner allegedly throwing punches and yelling abuse.

"NO CHARGES WILL BE LAID" against a man who terrorised & threatened children and violently attacked people? Told to 'move on'?! No search for drugs? What the hell, @victoriapoliceau.bsky.social? Doesn't look like identifying him will be a problem.

Albanese has now admitted that Australians were onboard the US nuclear sub that sank an Iranian vessel and left the crew to drown, in a violation of international law. This was always an inevitability of AUKUS. End AUKUS now.

I have only just recently started digging into data centres and water, and the way companies are hiding vital information is beyond belief. It is so, so dodgy.

The entire project to widely popularise the idea these concerns are "fake" makes so much sense in this context
