Real estate agent and Master Builders Association who decry market intervention in house pricing bemoan high wages produced through free labour market. Perfectly consistent.

No comment on whether the baby enrolments will be real @formerlegend.bsky.social

The Broncos last year were as nepotistic as the Trump White House

Coalition to force public servants to return to the office Opposition frontbencher Jane Hume says working from home has become unsustainable, with a Dutton government to force public servants to the office five days per week.

Holy moly. This is top shelf shit!

Trump signs order to bring back plastic straws claiming paper ones ‘explode’ Order rolls back Biden policy to phase out federal purchases of single-use plastic as Trump calls it a ‘ridiculous situation’

It really is like the dumbest fuckin commenter to the Daily Mail or caller to 3AW has been made President. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Shessh. Late 90’s pitch with more cracks than a truckie’s windshield?

Same chart showing all OECD countries. USA is the worst of all outliers.

Which is what happens when private insurance companies run the system.

Politico helped Trump launder lies during the campaign and he’s been on a week-long rampage against them anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How does @ABCnews explain these repeated days of dozens of references to Peter Dutton with barely a word on Albanese?

Analyst: “We are not dealing with an aberration… It is impossible to believe this is accidental.“

America has no party of opposition.

“Bipartisanship” WTUF.

He’s going after migrants, their children, transpeople and anyone who doesn’t think white men are superior.

The level of denial about is happening in the US is depressing, if predictable.
The most powerful nation of earth is enacting contemporary fascism, empowering it throughout the world.
The post-war settlement of liberal democracy is over.
Sure, don't comply in advance, but ffs, don't kid yourself.

Thank you for that clarification SMH

I wonder if anyone has noticed that today’s hard copy of Telegraph has somehow reproduced page 15 from yesterday’s edition. And somehow they say print is dead. #ausmedia

Debutant belts winning runs in thrilling chase to end India Test series Australia regains the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time since 2014 after chasing down 162 runs on day three of the fifth and final Test against India.

Can someone check in on the unoriginal and miserable lemmings on Sky After Dark? Their “go woke, go broke” trope is broken and they need new material www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

I see that the sculptor that did the Ray Warren statue in Junee has moved into painting @formerlegend.bsky.social

Member of the LNP Government that legislated a non-negotiable and uniform wages cap on all the NSW public sector now critical of a lack of nuance?! #nswpol

Market yet to absorb the news. Get on before it reverses. Queensland’s best Christmas present ever.

Exactly the same “article” and sponsorship in the Telegraph

The Australia Day culture wars kicked off earlier than usual this time. It is impeding on the usual Christmas cancellation click bait that normally reigns December

Time magazine cover overlaying the towers of the Kremlin rising over the White House.

Well played. And frighteningly accurate.

My beloved Souths desperately need edge forwards. Hopefully Wayne can get Lemuelu to follow him.

It’s fortunately buried deep in the Tele’s back pages, but I have never read a more unoriginal, dishonest and nonsensical opinion piece than this claptrap by the IPA’s Saxon Davidson. The first opening lie to correct is Broken Hill was a transmission failure, not generation. Unfettered rubbish.

This Wheel of Fortune remake is captivating for the stupidity of the contestants. Graham Norton is reeling in disbelief.
