If he gets the leadership, he'll have "done a Bradbury".

If it's a contest between you and Angus, I'll vote for you for sure.

But you can keep your gun, even if you have physically abused your partner, or suffer from schizophrenia, and periodically decide you don't want to take your medication.

As if we needed more proof, we share no values with this man and his regime. Australia urgently needs an independent foreign and defence policy. End AUKUS.

How would Peter Hartcher know what the Australian mainstream is thinking? He certainly could not truthfuฤบly describe himself as part of that very large group, or even as someone who listens to them.

That option is not available in my list. I have made sure I have the latest Windows update and it still is not there.

That "battery icon" tells you nothing about how much battery power you have left. It seems to just signify your laptop has a recognisable battery fitted.

Running Windows 11 Pro on my laptop. The battery icon has disappeared from the taskbar. Of all the things a user would need when running on battery power, surely it would have to be a QUICK way to see how much battery power you have left before you need to recharge.

Jennifer Crawford That has always puzzled me. Why aren't Jewish people subjected to the same treatment as Aboriginal people mourning their lost generations? Palestinians will probably have the same problem mourning 60,000 dead at the hands of the IDF.

Somebody just reached the bottom of their IN tray. Well done that person - only 30 years late.

Imagine contributing to the worldโ€™s biggest concentration camp, Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ and holding a Holocaust memorial service today? Thatโ€™s a kind of stupid I donโ€™t fuck with.

Just your daily reminder that @JoshFrydenberg was the treasurer (and scomoโ€™s bff) who left Australia with a trillion dollars of debt and nothing to show for it.

Who will be wanting oil? The world is moving away from oil as EVs become more popular. Car manufacturers are now giving up on the petrol/diesel engines and producing more hybrid and electric vehicles.

So sad when young mums die of cancer. Funding of research will be the key to new treatments and hopefully cures.

This is getting ridiculous. ADF personnel are not trained for this kind of exercise, unless you are willing to accept some accidental deaths of civilians.

Giving people guns in a crowded space almost guarantees someone will get shot, especially when fireworks are going off and sound like gunfire. What extra training have police been given before being armed for NYE?

Sussan is on ABC News again, accusing Albo of not keeping Jewish people safe, allowing their children to suffer fear when going to daycare and school. What happened to the millions of dollars already given to that community to provide the extra security they wanted? Let's have an audit.

Surely it's obvious. It's the parents of those Boomers who all chose to have babies as soon as WW2 ended. Some of them even had multiple babies in quick succession! As many as 6 for some of them.

I watched it. She seemed to be having trouble stopping herself from naming Albo as the shooter. The accusations she was making were quite bizarre.

Why did none of this overreach happen when Vietnamese were 'flavour of the month' for hatred, or Muslim women were being abused and attacked in the streets? Surely it's unAustralian to single out one group for special treatment to the detriment of the majority of the population?

For those who celebrate, enjoy a ridgy-didge Australian Xmas tree.

Why would a 'crackdown' on Palestine solidarity marches + speeches have stopped the horrific Bondi attack?๐Ÿค”
Those men were IS sympathisers. IS has nothing to do with Palestine
Is Israel cynically trying to distract from its genocidal project in Gaza?
Israel is a pariah state
