Did you hear that Albanese? Carney has got sense, what’s more he has the balls to tell Trump no. You should try it. Use Penny’s balls if you have to, she’s become a warmonger so it’s probably for the best if you do.

Pauline Hanson secured government solar rebate despite calling for subsidies to large-scale renewables to end Exclusive: Spokesperson for One Nation leader says it supports rooftop solar, as Matt Canavan also defends using scheme

The hypocrisy is big in this one.

Pauline Hanson accessed a federal government rebate scheme to install solar power on her Queensland home, despite demanding an end to public subsidies for renewable energy projects.

These are the images of the Gaza War Cemetery where 140 Australian war graves have been desecrated by the Israeli military including bulldozing graves. Very real concern that Australian soldiers remains have been bulldozed and disturbed.

Now that Albanese has abandoned the international rule of law and approves the killing of leaders, the carpet bombing of cities etc and, knowing our complicity makes us a legitimate target in a similar way ..

Maybe we should re-think the building of data centres in suburbs where people live?

One Nation seeks a foothold in Farrer as it names byelection candidate David Farley will contest the New South Wales seat of former Liberal leader Sussan Ley in May ballot

Hey Guardian ( @australia.theguardian.com ), and editor ( @lenoret.bsky.social ):

Can you explain why whenever an independent is mentioned, you say "the Climate200 backed independent"

but never "the Gina Rinehart backed One Nation candidate".

Why not?

Hearing some journalists and ABC radio announcers say you have to respect Kyle Sandilands for what he does. Fuck that. He’s a misogynist pig who’s monetized arseholery. Just stop it. Hearing that enabler Jackie O is walking back the resignation. Typical. Publicity stunt for a dying genre. 😏

Remember when this abomination decided to walk all over Uluru in some type of white person faux-rage protest and then got stuck

The protest was that First Nations people said walking all over their sacred site was disrespectful

When asked if the govt’s new Apprenticeship program was “worthwhile”, Jacinta Price said
“Throwing more taxpayer money to boost trades isn’t the answer”

Doesn’t want taxpayers funding trades, but happy to slug them for hubby to attend CPAC events? Really disgraceful. #auspol

Andrew Wilkie says there’s “alarming parallels” b/w what’s happening in Iran now & the war in Iraq in 2003
“In both cases the threat was exaggerated to justify the war”
“For a country to attack another country in self defence then they have to have been attacked first.” #auspol

We were told Herzog was here on a “pastoral” visit.
Why was a foreign head of a state that illegally forged Australian passports given privileged access to Australia’s security agency?
Who authorised the meeting ?
Why was the meeting kept secret from the public?
