I feel bad resorting to the whole β€˜punchable face’ trope, but damn if it’s not hard to suppress the urge at times 😬

Pennies. And he’s such a little twerp he’d do it for free if he wasn’t.

I suppose the one nice thing about it is that he’s literally so obnoxious he’s very likely turned ppl off siding with Israel who may otherwise have decided they didn’t like Palestinians πŸ₯°

Yeah that doesn't look like a country that wants to revolt against the regime like that dumb fuck Trump wants. It's almost as if you do stupid shit like killing leaders of sovereign nations you give people an outside enemy to rally against.

Even the most obnoxious boys when I was 12yo (and that’s… pretty much all of them) had nothing on DrewP.

Some now do, given the stuff I heard from my daughter the last couple of years of primary school, but still we are talking about the absolute dregs. That’s Drew.

Looking at him, I’d put money on him having chatted about/posted incel-themed material at some point.

P-Wong’s words literally were β€œWhat I would say to Australians is that Iran has been a destabilising force in the region for decades”.

Perhaps if we had any actual journalists attending her β€˜press’ conferences one might have been able to ask whether she could also say the same of Israel…

Wong said on Sunday morning that Iran must β€œcease its indiscriminate attacks against other countries in the region”.

She has never said the same thing about Israel who has been indiscriminately bombing neighbours for the last few years

And every one of the owners of the biggest platforms has allowed or ensured the severe enshittification of its service, & in many cases an increase in the abuse and disrespect of women & the endangerment of children. Boy billionaires, making the world worse for everyone else as fast as they can.

115 girls whose rights we will no longer need to be Very Concerned about now they’ve been granted American Freedom. Maybe that’s why Albo was so eager to proffer support for Trump and Netanyahu’s latest war!

Australia stands with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against oppression.

For decades, the Iranian regime has been a destabilising force, through its ballistic missile and nuclear programs, support for armed proxies, and brutal acts of violence and intimidation.

Iran directed at least two attacks on Australian soil in 2024. These appalling acts targeting Australia’s Jewish community were intended to create fear, divide our society and challenge our sovereignty. In response, Australia took the unprecedented steps of expelling Iran’s Ambassador, suspending operations at our embassy in Tehran, and listing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a state sponsor of terrorism.

Our Government has sanctioned more than 200 Iranian-linked individuals, including more than 100 linked to the IRGC.

With international partners, including the United States and the G7, we have called for the Iranian regime to uphold the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Iran’s citizens.

These calls have gone unheeded. Instead, the regime has instigated a brutal crackdown on its own people leaving thousands of Iranian civilians dead. A regime that relies on the repression and murder of its own people to retain power is without legitimacy.

It has long been recognised that Iran’s nuclear program is a threat to global peace and security. The international community has been clear that the Iranian regime can never beallowed to develop a nuclear weapon. The United Nations Security Council has reimposed sanctions on Iran for failing to comply with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and the International Atomic Energy Agency Board has formally declared Iran in non-compliance with its non-proliferation safeguards obligations.

We support the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent Iran continuing to threaten international peace and security.

Scientology and Jehovah's Witnesses among alleged high-control groups An analysis of submissions to Victoria's inquiry into cults and fringe groups shows many of the groups hold charity status.

Time overdue to remove all tax privileges for Churches.

Simon Crean wagging a finger at GWB is one of the greatest moments in Australian politics.

I was living in his seat (Hotham) when he retired. Great guy.

He may have maintained the racist, anti-refugee policies of Kim Beazley, but there’s no denying that Simon Crean could have taught today’s ALP a thing or two about leadership in the face of US pressure.

Oman’s foreign minister says Iran agreed to β€œzero enriched uranium stockpiling.”

Within hours, Israel and the USA attacked them.

It was never about peace or uranium but about acting out Netanyahu's biggest bloodthirsty fantasy.
