What else did Trump discuss with Albanese - and what did Albanese say yes to?

Albanese always says β€˜yes’ to the worst people #auspol

Not if you watched Fox News which edited to show him in another outfit.

Nothing makes sense anymore.

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.

This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

#AtlasNetwork government = rule by fossil fuel corps, with a whole lot of racism thrown in to divide and conquer the electorate as your citizens rights and govt services are eviscerated. #FossilFascism

Just went to my local library and found out where it all went wrong had 50 people on the reserve list. Thank you - I really, really appreciate the effort and the curiosity to understand our world a bit better 🩷

Cheers to Dave for that title 🀣

I was praised for a calm voice in my writing yesterday (surprised me), but I let rip a bit more in this piece. Let me know if I should stick to my day job.

The Media Held Politicians To Account During The Iraq War. What Changed? Outside of elections, the media is the only real mechanism of accountability for our government. So far, it's failed to do its job on the illegal war with Iran.

Quite telling to compare how Kerry O’Brien interviewed John Howard about Iraq to Sarah Ferguson’s bizarre efforts this week. I wrote about it www.lamestream.com.au/the-media-he...

So 3 Australian personnel were on the US war ship which dropped a torpedo on an Iranian vessel which was accompanying an Indian vessel - and the people from the Iranian vessel were deliberately left for dead.

Is this right? #auspol

Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming at the Advance conference State Liberal (conservative) MP Moira Deeming is posited as the party's future leader. This raises the issue of Christian Right politicians and possible secrecy about their goals.

We need to show fellow voters that we can’t trust Christian Right political candidates to tell us what voting for them means for our rights & freedoms. Even if they tell us which beliefs & goals they have relinquished, can we trust them?

Which Karl will become Australia’s Joe Rogan? Karl Stefanovic or Karl Sandilands? Stefanovic has already started, but no doubt Sandilands will be going β€œindependent” too - let off the leash outside ACMA rules to spread lies, hate and bigotry for profit the quickest. It will be ugly to watch!
