Samoa's PM told to 'get married' so someone could 'advise' her properly Samoa's first female prime minister ignored a taunt about her marital status in defeating the second attempt to oust her in two weeks.

Samoa's PM sounds utterly amazing. What a strong and resilient leader. I want their to be a biopic about her. One of my filmmaker friends, get to it. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Shearer who tackled alleged gun-wielding teen gets hero's welcome from Jetstar staff Shearing contractor Barry Clark arrived in Sydney on Friday to cheers from Jetstar staff, thanking him for his quick actions to subdue a 17-year-old who allegedly had a shotgun.

Can we just say this out loud? The muted and almost light tone of coverage of this guy breaking into an airport and managing to board a plane with a LOADED SHOTGUN would be wildly different if he wasn't white.

As Trump and his 'broligarchs' take over, reality disappears The uptick in showy displays of aggression and "masculine energy" across the heavyweight section of America's tycoon community is undeniable since Trump's return to power.

It's get a bit testy

The Great Cyber Surrender: How Trump and His Lapdogs Opened the Gates for Putin’s Hackers Imagine, if you will, a man so sycophantic, so pitifully eager to please his master, that he willingly pulls down America’s digital defenses and rolls out the red carpet for Russian hackers.

In siding with Russia over Ukraine, Trump is not putting America first. He is hastening its decline Trump’s apparent break with Ukraine is making all US allies question his reliability. He vowed to put β€˜America first’, but these moves just make the US more isolated.

Some harsh realities for Australia to face re AUKUS security pact. As the article says, does Aus leap in to integrate with US military when those old alliances can no longer be relied upon

Hungarian government clamps down on Pride march, citing β€˜child protection’ reasons | CNN The Hungarian government is clamping down on the country’s annual Budapest Pride parade, which has been running for almost 30 years, saying that it should not β€œdominate public spaces” – citing what it...

Bull-fucking-shit that this is about child protecton! When will these right wing bigots stop conflating child assault with non-hetereo lifestyles (lifestyles is not the right word, but you know what mean).
