Diabolical: The Epstein Files - About the ABC It’s the scandal that has shocked Americans and rocked the Trump administration.

The American people are slowing coming to the realization that they could well have elected a pedophile as their president and they don't know what to do next. What's more. Corruption runs so deeply through the government hierarchy that it threatens its very existence. www.abc.net.au/about/media-...

What is known about Iran girls' school strike as death toll rises Iran says the death toll from an attack on a girls' school it claims was launched by the US and Israel has surpassed 165.

Casualties included students, parents and school staff! In her interview with Israel's Ambassador Hillel Newman for tonight's 730 Report, Sarah Ferguson accepted without question his assertion that this building was used by the IRGC and was not being used as a school.

For Howard, it was Iraq's 'weapons of mass destruction' that never existed. For Albanese, it's Iran's nuclear program Trump claims to have obliterated! In dismissing international law and supporting another military attack on a Middle Eastern country, Anthony Albanese is no better than John Howard.

Israel and the US bomb Iran to "save the good people of Iran from the Ayatollah Khamenei's oppressive regime"!!!
How's that again?

"....the religious thing on there."

If this is an indication of the level of intelligence of the leadership in the NSW police force, then they're no better than Trump's ICE goons in the US. Little wonder the police behave the way they do.

Yes indeed, Amy Remeikis. The Howard Gov't was probably the most wasteful spending government in Australia's history. This is a story of waste, mis-management, bigotry and lies and is long, long overdue.

Right wing podcasters begin to turn? Will they take their audience with them?
YouTube video by Parkrose Permaculture Right wing podcasters begin to turn? Will they take their audience with them?

Angela Parkrose asks whether, with many right wing podcasters like Joe Rogan and Shawn Ryan slowly turning against Donald Trump, will they take their listeners with them?
I'd say yes, it's already happening!!

‘Catching You Red-Handed’: Republican Thomas Massie Goes Nuclear On Pam Bondi In Congress I US News
YouTube video by Hook Global ‘Catching You Red-Handed’: Republican Thomas Massie Goes Nuclear On Pam Bondi In Congress I US News

The good people of America and in particular the under-age victims of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse, are the clients of Attorney General Pam Bondi. But instead of acting in their best interests, she ties herself in knots protecting Donald Trump and the perpetrators.

Attorney General Pam Bondi lies under oath to protect Donald Trump. In response to a question from Ted Lieu, she claimed no evidence existed of young girls at parties attended by the president. Bingo! Lieu then shows everybody photographic proof Bondi lied under oath. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ5O...

Will Trump be able to continue to keep a lid on all this? It's vile, it's sickening and the public are beginning to see what really went on. They will not be satisfied until they get to the whole truth of the matter. All the redactions in the world won't stop that.

So often we see the victims of abuse become abusers themselves later in life. Sadly, so it is with Israel today!!

What PM Albanese doesn't understand is that this is wrong and must be called out. Just because it is not happening on Australian soil is no reason to ignore it. When people march in our streets protesting against Israeli brutality they should do so with full government support not condemnation.

According to the US Census Bureau, 37.9m Americans are considered to be living in poverty. The poverty rate for children is 12.4%, and the rate for people 65 and older is 10.2% up from 8.9% in 2019. But this is what you voted for America. Of course, there are some who aren't so poor and we know why.

Remember QAnon? Most of us scoffed and promptly forgot about him. QAnon claimed there was cabal of highly influential individuals, politicians, business leaders, police and so on, who were part of a paedophile ring that may even have included President Trump. And now?

Who is Angus Taylor? Long touted as a Liberal leader, some colleagues see only style and no substance ‘The problem with Angus is that he does not actually do anything,’ one colleague says of the former minister with a glossy CV

Who is Angus Taylor? Style but no substance is right. As Malcolm Turnbull said: Angus Taylor is the best qualified idiot they've ever met" The fact that he wears trousers was all the Libs needed to vote for him as leader over Sussan Ley.

Government rebuffs Linda Reynolds’ claims in compensation row The Commonwealth has lodged its defence against former minister Linda Reynolds’ claim it mishandled a $2.4 million workplace settlement with Brittany Higgins.

Reynolds is a complete goose. Remember back in 2019 she was asked about keeping wage growth modest and she said: Definitely not!
When the interviewer pointed out that it was actually her colleague Mathias Cormann’s view, she promptly agreed that he was 'absolutely right'. www.afr.com/politics/gov...

Grateful to have had the opportunity to be included in this ad from @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social in today's papers. However, really disappointing to not see names of other Jewish people I grew up with here, despite their alleged claims that they 'don't support what Netanyahu is doing'. 🤔

What Herzog has said about Gaza, and why he won't be arrested in Australia When Israel's president lands in Australia this weekend, he can expect an official red carpet treatment. But he will be all too aware of the controversy his visit is generating.

Those requesting Herzog visit should have been told no!!! Herzog claimed every single Palestinian was responsible for the October 7 attacks. This is arrant nonsense. A UN special commission of inquiry found that his comments were inciting violence against Palestinians. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Who is convicted baby killer Lucy Letby and could she be innocent? As Netflix releases its documentary, The Investigation of Lucy Letby, experts examine the facts and speculation around the nurse’s case.

Letby must be released. A panel of 14 medical experts found there was no wrong-doing in any of the 17 cases. Mark McDonald, a criminal defence barrister says there's no motive and nobody saw her do anything wrong. The post-it notes were simple a form of therapy. news.northeastern.edu/2026/02/03/l...

It's just too fᴜcking late America!!! The time to do something about Donald Trump and his ICE goons was last November when you had a quality candidate in Kamala Harris and instead you chose a fool as your president. Suck it up America!!

Just note that 205 Federal polies, Labor, Libs and Nats, own a total of 421 homes between them. That’s 2.05 homes each. Of those 421 homes, 254 are declared as owner-occupied residences, while a further 167 are declared as investments.
So these tax breaks are not about to disappear ant time soon.
