Dare to chant "From the River to the Sea" in a crowd of thousands and you make headlines in every newspaper for a week. Meanwhile throw an actual bomb into a crowd on Invasion Day and you're a footnote to a wannabe Nazi using racial slurs.

β€˜Not even in with a look’: Nationals face Senate wipeout if Liberal split continues Two of the rebel Nationals whose votes led to the historic Coalition split face losing their jobs at the next federal election, with senior Liberals warning the junior Coalition partner will struggle ...

A wipeout is deserved.
The Nats no longer serve any useful democratic function. They don’t represent farmers or any regional populations. Long since become the party of giant mining interests.
Regional independents have taken on the mantle of actual representation.

US immigration chief Gregory Bovino set to leave Minneapolis after deadly shooting The US president is sending border tsar Tom Homan to the city in an apparent shift in tone from the White House.

The guy who took $50k in a paper bag from border security contractors has been sent to lead the crack down on β€œillegals” because the other guy wasn’t doing it right.

If you think coal and gas corporates like Woodside, Chervron, INPEX and Glencore, who are fuelling these disasters should pay the costs…instead of YOU!

One of my most deeply held beliefs is that refusing to name truth makes you stupid--literally degrades your intellect.

Screenshot of a table from the bureau of meteorology website, listing the weather for major cities around Australia for 26 January. A red circle is around Adelaide’s temperature, which has a yellow warning icon with a black exclamation sign in one column, a bright yellow sun icon in the next and the final column says 43Β°

Also: TAS salmon spend their lives swimming in their own shit, and their excrement is so concentrated that when it drifts to the bottom it creates biological dead zones underneath the cages.
Just something to remember when you’re considering putting it in your mouth next time.

Ps did you know that TAS salmon is pumped with untested antibiotics, and that the flesh you eat would be grey if they didn’t put orange food dye in the fish feed?
Now you do.

Four million salmon died prematurely at Tasmanian fish farms in 2025, government data reveals Death toll sparks calls for companies to be fined under animal welfare legislation over mass fish deaths

Almost all salmon in Australia is from Tasmania, and the industry there is essentially unregulated - and dangerously unhealthy.
Do not eat it.

Absolute drivel from the BBCs live feed. Despite there being abundant evidence to contradict the repulsive Noem, her words are reported uncritically, in line with the apparent belief that presenting a lie alongside the truth and calling both β€œnarratives” has anything to do with journalism.

Based on extensive evidence, one side is obviously lying and the other side is telling the truth.
How could we possibly say what happened??

Honestly. The video is not the fckin story.

I reckon the fact that ICE agents murdered a nurse in cold blood is the story, not that the govt is disputing video evidence.
The govt lies everyday - that’s not news anymore …

Looks like the NY Times got the government-approved memo too. If the US avoids full-blown authoritarianism, it sure won't be thanks to the corporate media

No, democracy dies in whatever the fuck this is – because it sure ain't journalism.
What happened, cowards? Who shot who?

Imagine facing off against Angus Taylor, David LittleProud and Pauline Hanson at the next election. The dingbat patrol.
Albanese is truly the luckiest politician around.
