The environment isn't 'an issue'

Today is unfortunately a good reminder of just how depraved many Trump supporters are. It should be the easiest thing in the world to just wish someone well in light of a devastating health diagnosis. That they can't even meet that very low bar says a lot about their character.

ICYMI, this excellent 4 minute clip is 🎯πŸ’₯πŸ’―.
Please watch, share, and vote accordingly.

Some mainstream journos are also shining a light on #AtlasNetwork. But many are still too timid, lazy or complicit to highlight the truth behind Dutton's culture wars. #ausvotes #auspol

Bridget McKenzie can’t help but laugh at the proposition of emissions going down under the LNP.
David Speers, β€œis there anything you would do to bring down emissions in the next 10 years?’
McKenzie β€œLoL”
It’s going to be even funnier when they lose the election 🀣

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says the Coalition β€˜got it wrong’ with its now-dumped policy to require all federal public servants to return to the office

A promise to cut 41,000 Canberra-based public service jobs through forced redundancies has also been walked back

First stage capitalism lie: more stuff makes life good. ($$)
Second stage capitalism lie: stuff doesn't make you happy, but experiences (travel and events) to make memories will ($$$$)

Reality: a good life comes from surrounding yourself with kind and principled people instead of assholes.

Vote Dutton, you get Trump.

Simple as that.

Australian home affairs secretary admits to using disappearing messages on Signal for work In wake of Trump administration group chat scandal, department’s chief operating officer tells Senate there is no ban on staff using the feature

Senior officials brazenly admit to using disappearing message apps for Govt business - a clear violation of law (a crime under s24(1) of the Archives Act). The bureaucratic lawlessness that enabled #robodebt is alive and well. The AFP should act. #auspol

Hegseth's playing a dangerous game of chicken by denying this. Goldberg says he has more texts about this, super sensitive info he voluntarily held back. Or are they going to say he got the info some other way and put him in jail? This is the 'Anything Goes' administration, who knows?

Israel just killed hundreds of Palestinians, including kids.

The US just killed dozens of Yemenis, including kids.

"Why do they hate us?" asks the American public, blissfully ignorant of what's being done in its name in the Middle East by the US and its ally Israel.

Sigh.

Dutton is a repugnant individual who thrives on discord, division & hate.

Not a word that comes out of his mouth is designed 4 the benefit of positive social cohesion

It’s a strategy to attain his own political goals, not to benefit our country

IMO, a good leader unites. Dutton is NOT that leader

Malcolm is right- you have to stand up to bullies. Canada did and now their tariffs are being walked back. Granted they have more pull than Aus, but mango Mussolini will never respect people he thinks he can walk all over. Great opportunity to cancel Aukus.
