Greens will need a very strong grassroots campaign to do any good. They have been good at it in the past. They need to start gearing up now to have the plans in place and potential teams ready to go when the election is called.

Democrats are winning in unwinnable seats in the USA against big money

And Labor is sleepwalking into the abyss.

They'll look up in a few years and go huh as they collapse. Hopefrly out of the ashes comes better, but we will be a lot of people to realise fascism isn't the answer. Sadly to many may not grasp that

I guess this is why they pulled funding for the QPS DV unit. They would have had to say no.

We know how well QPS have handled DV in the party. Remember Hannah Clarke

Our universities will be trash after this.

Should we then await the delegation from Russia, India, Nigeria, and China for then to provide training for our universities.

Don't want too be critizing anyone in case they are offended

Apologies to all countries listed

This has been a horrible & at the same time fascinating part of Australian history.
It is clear that our politicians have lost touch with the public & as such all should be put in the bin at the next opportunity.
It's hard not to be convinced that social cohesion is code for sit down and shut up

Western states failing to prevent Gaza genocide: Analysis YouTube video by Al Jazeera English

Of course they couldn't admit they were wrong on economic policy that created the housing problem in the first place.

May we get some sensible economic policy from any of them

This is why the Democrats may not be the solution on the USA and why Trump may and up with a third term.
They have been guilty of being to much the same as the republicans.
I say this to make the comparison so people see the problem.

He'll have to argue with Hastie for role of Savior.

I think Hastie will be a great Zionist patsie, Josh is not needed

Capitalism has to ultimately cannibalise itself. Eventually corporations have to go to war with each other so only one can remain.

There has to be only one monopoly

Then there will be none

Of course much of humanity may well be exterminated in the process

That's what he was here for under the guise of mourning. He probably didn't give a single fuck shot any of the dead. They would have been collateral damage in the great Zionist takeover.

He was making sure our complicit insipid politicians were in line. That they knew the brief

We should use here to coordinate support. I have no idea who follows me elsewhere or might get seen elsewhere that could convince someone to vote for her.
If a lot of us are dropping stuff in Threads, FB etc, it could be helpful. It's a small way to fight back

Thankfully a lot aren't, but i suspect some rural and regional ones will be as they've been fed a diet of her over TV and Sky particularly

Morning Bee, this rain is good. Have a great day.

What fun stuff will be dug up today other than Angus's grave. His bid will end his career, and that shows how little he understands the problem

He'll get a year. But the best part will be that Hastie will go for the spill and Albo will call the election a week later. Give him no time to build anything for the election.

Sure it'll be a cynical move by Albanese but you can see it a mile off

That's a great piece by Tim. If only we regularly had that much quality week in and week out in the MSM, we might not be where we are right now.

The centre feels like it's been a scam for the last 40 years and the joke has been on all of us

MSM never will or that further unravels the propaganda Minns, and the police were spreading the next morning.

Who is Angus Taylor and could he cut it as opposition leader? Angus Taylor has all the on-paper qualifications to be opposition leader. But will he be able to perform?

I doubt Angus will cut it. I reckon he's just Albo light. Will sit & do nothing if he gets elected. He'll have to not risk upsetting anyone across the right.

They have all become cardboard cutouts or unelectable by the majority because they are detestable

This was never about mourning the people that sadly was a nice cover. Liebler knew he could get Labor wedged with the bullshit the LNP kicked off, no doubt at his behest.

Liebler should be thrown out of the country or tried for treason

Stop Glencore Bulldozing Koala Habitat Protect koalas, the Great Barrier Reef and our climate from dirty coal.

Let's get a lot of signatures on thi to let this government know. Yes, you may well say they'll still approve it, and you might be right, but the Greens will love asking Murray Watts why he ignored 200,00 signatures on a petition against the destruction

Two frames. (Like two pages of a picture book.) 1. Scene of PM Albanese at his desk, looking embattled, holding a phone that is shouting at him, pen in other hand.

Text: โ€œHe used to wish he could just get on with his job, instead of spending all his time pandering to special interest groupsโ€ฆโ€ 2. Zoom in on PM in same position, now looking at us, text continues: โ€œUntil one day he realised that *was* his job.โ€

Already gone they just don't know it yet. Sure they'll hold onto power for a bit, then they'll fall and they'll look just at bad add the LNP.

The only way Labor survive is to change our voting so they remain in power. Something akin to China
