Speaking!
I just find BlueSky lacks the hard edge of breaking news? Has it got better?

Billionaire act of the week
It is what you and others make it.
😘
Tks, Eric. Just a little quiet over here for me, and lacking the hard news edge, no? Don't you find that?
I think most Australians are like me: we very much know who Prime Minister Keir Starmer is - him and Macron are leaders of the Free World - but have no clue about the Opposition Leader, yet.
A superb listen. The similarities between the Liberals in Oz & the Tories here are striking. And Peters’s description of Farage after the rolled gold disaster that is Brexit is spot on. Thank you both (& Kenny of course).
Same
My thoughts, EXACTLY, Samuel!
THanks indeed.
The rule of thumb among Labor ministers, I am told, is "Ignore what's on the front pages. Get the right policy."

🎧 This was a fabulously enjoyable, high-level introduction to Australian politics and their recent elections, even though “you’ve barely let @peterfitz1.bsky.social get a word in edgeways,” @sturdyalex.bsky.social! 👏😆

I think, to the North, that is what you are frequently known as - and most affectionately~!
Tks indeed, Alex.
Fabulous celebration of a champion of public transport by @peterfitz1.bsky.social. Problem with being prematurely right! @m1ngthemerciless.bsky.social

I'm never quite sure what the Commonwealth is, beyond - with a few exceptions - a British Empire Alumni Club? America qualifies on that count, but not right now with current barking mad leadership?

Action of the week ...... US protests AGAINST Trump/Musk administration actions
Bernie & AOC got 34,000 to a rally in Denver
(Australian media is NOT covering these protests, but they are growing bigger & bigger. And are NATIONAL. Esp in Republican areas.)
Well said. @peterfitz1.bsky.social
Repeated around the world, but with different financial levers. Billionaires leveraging communities in the US, sports leagues leveraging communities in Australia.
Au contraire. The further we move into this century, the more it is obvious that Australia needs to forge an independent path.
Tks, very much worth reading, y'all.
Different country, same nonsense: huge expenditure on stadiums pays for itself. Complete and utter bollocks.
Lovely!
Have we paid?
the sad thing about rwnj polotics is if biden had suggested any one of the mad things trump has said and the dow dropped 4 trillion they would be going ballistic.
but trump doing it is fine.
