Geez another puff piece on Hastie in the SMH.
Someone there really wants us to warm to him.
Not a chance in hell in this household. He’s a religious misogynist, not a leader with a vision for future for all of us.

It’s a sh*t award given to dubious recipients- Kissinger? Really? Obama - didn’t he oversee 7 wars/conflicts? And now this Zionist lover!

… if you look at the history of award recipients they appear contradictory! Kissinger? The secret bombing of Cambodia and Laos, which killed tens of thousands of civilians; Obama -By the end of his tenure, the U.S. had been at war longer then any other president! Do we give the award oxygen ?!

The winner is a huge trump fan and supporter of Zionism- so I don’t think the award deserves any oxygen!

This is not just the appearance of conflict of interest, it is corruption of democracy pure and simple.

Gee, if only those First Nations people had thought of having a Voice to Parliament via a β€œSports Club”.

Mmmm- Henry Kissinger won a Nobel prize too! And the current winner is a huge trump supporter and loves Netanyahu!! So I think your meme is not that effective unfortunately!

Pocock reinvited to parliamentary sports club after PM weighs in The former star Wallabies player turned independent senator was kicked out of the social sports club after raising concerns about its links to the gambling industry.

You've got Australians out there who are in a lot of pain, you've got young Australians who are being advertised [to] to the point that they think gambling is just a normal part of watching sport, surely we can do better than that as a country

Pocock outstrips Albanese has a leader in every sense.

And prior to that the USA supported the ethnic cleansing- during Obama β€˜s presidency with Biden as VP, Israeli operation, Protective Edge, more than 2000 Palestinians were killed, including 500 children.

A century of deceit: Towards a new understanding of the colonisation of Palestine Political and media commentary on the Hamas killings of October 2023 have been preoccupied with claims that these were not only the worst terrorists but that their actions were without precedent.

…..go to the person β€œwho shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”. I don’t think he ever qualified- Elon M was nominated as well- which boggles one’s mind!

From Whitlam’s independence to bipartisan obedience β€” we’ve come a long way, backwards and from β€œnever again” to β€œnot for them.” The moral U-turns are dizzying. Apparently caring about Palestinians is now antisemitic. Handy trick β€” makes empathy look extremist.

Glad to see this grubby collusion out in the open.
So unfair and dare I say,
it is BLOODY UN-AUSTRALIAN.
Both Lesser and Burns should be ashamed of themselves using their positions of privilege to 'gang-up' against the people trying to support victims of a brutal genocide.

Pocock booted from pollie sports club after criticising gambling lobby sponsor The former star Wallabies player turned independent senator was kicked out of the social sports club after raising concerns about its links to the gambling industry.

Oh boy the Labor Party demonstrating they truly have a thin skin.
I would not say they are bending the knee to the gambling industry rather they’re on their hands and knees adorned with a collar and leash. #auspol

Fashion is a rapacious industry serving capitalism & conformity. Women once had to change their perfectly good clothes every year, then came breast enlargement, then bums.
Now their faces all have to look the same, with big eyes,big fat lips & huge teeth. When will ppl wake up to this manipulation?
