In some ways Labor are worse than the Coalition on climate change. They aren’t ignorant buffoons like their opponents: they know the damage they’re doing, and they do it anyway. And then they lie shamelessly about how they are addressing climate change, and ppl lap it up. The hypocrisy is sickening.

This is very, very good.

On January 26, an explosive device was allegedly thrown into a crowd of peaceful protesters in Perth. As I said last week—and again today in Parliament—this should be investigated as a potential act of terrorism and treated with the gravity it deserves by state and federal police forces.

The NSW govt needs to elect a new public. Police say this one is not acceptable.

Trump, ICE set to be handed access to Australians' biometric data, ID documents The Albanese government is giving the Trump administration and agencies like ICE access to Australians' biometric data — and we're not being told anything about it.

Australians deserve to know who’s accessing our data. Quiet deals that hand our biometrics to foreign agencies cross a line. Privacy isn’t a luxury — it’s our right. If you want transparency and control over your identity, speak up. #auspol www.crikey.com.au/2026/02/03/a...

"BOARD OF PEACE - Season 1"

And there it is.

A museum piece of toddler-king illiterate petulance… for eternity.

Albanese should be saying the same. As a partner of AUKUS we have a responsibility.

Looking at the “Would another country please come and remove our President?” posts and it just reinforces the view that Americans need foreign nationals to do all the dirty jobs they don’t want to do for themselves.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

This is crazy. Will any community be able to have an armed militia?
If any community feels the need special security, perhaps they could pay for more police as required.

Over the last two days in Florida, the Russian Special Envoy Kirill Dmitriev held productive and constructive meetings with the American delegation to advance President Trump’s peace plan on Ukraine. The American delegation included Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and White House staff member Josh Gruenbaum. Russia remains fully committed to achieving peace in Ukraine. Russia highly values the efforts and support of the United States to resolve the Ukrainian conflict and re-establish global security.

War is peace. Russia is fully committed to peace in Ukraine.

Two BBC news headlines: Israel approves 19 new settlements in occupied West Bank. Russia election: Putin hails illegal annexation of Crimea after claiming election win.

Note the language:
• When Israel announces 19 new Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, the use of the word "approves" and the absence of the word "illegal".
• When Putin annexes Crimea, the word "illegal" is in the headline.
• The BBC is giving tacit approval to #IsraeliTerrorism. 😠

This one’s on Netanyahu, not Albanese The Bondi massacre sits within a wider international context that has reshaped public attitudes to Israel, antisemitism and protest, complicating how grief, fear and responsibility are understood in Australia.

The Bondi massacre, antisemitism and criticism of Israel have become tightly entangled in public debate. Context matters if fear is not to harden into blame, writes Jack Waterford.

The lawless lying lunatic you call president and his Republican cult of cons are morally bankrupt. Totally void of decency integrity and morality. These lowlife losers are the cause of the moral decay in America.

Wow, this 🔥

“Corporations that have paid to help him demolish the East Wing … Law firms that capitulated are now doing work for the Donald Trump Commerce Department… Bezos, who stood shoulder to shoulder with Donald Trump… No one has said anything about the character of this person today.”

Let's think positively.. perhaps there will be a letter of condemnation in the papers tomorrow.

Mr Netanyahu says that criticism of the IDF or of the State of Israel is antisemitic. Quite clever of him, really.
It's not true, of course, but I'd say that some people aren't sure or don't want to take the risk.

Dear LinkdIn. I don’t need your encouragement. I only signed up to find one organisation I needed to contact. I don’t need Premium. I don’t want to connect with people I might know there. I don’t care who is searching for me. I’m sorry. I never meant to join. It was all a mistake.

At a time when Ahmed El Ahmed demonstrates the best of humanity,
Netanyahu shows the worst.
