This bloke is the original Canberra Cowboy, with a mighty big hat, but precious few scrawny cows to his name. He’s been drinking up and living high on the hog, courtesy of the Australian tax payer for years now. But the only election he’s ever likely to win in future is a nomination to AA.

Abolish the crazy thugs at ICE.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Jess Wilson. The new young millennial face of the Victorian Liberal Party. But trotting out the same old pustulous shit that they’ve vomited up for decades. Climate denial, culture wars, attack the poor and help your rich mates to get even richer. No policy ideas. New generation, same old shit!

At long last, he’s finally headed to the One Neurone Party.
The dunderklumpens grave yard. Where he’ll spend his later years shouting at the clouds, in the National repository of the RWFW. You have to be special kind of reject when even the National Party don’t want you.

It’s once again become very apparent that Vladimir Putin is the very epitome of everything Donald Trump ever wanted to be. I wonder how long it will be before Trumpetbum’s arch political enemies will begin to start accidentally falling out of windows?

The toxic algal bloom is devastating for our marine creatures.
I saw plenty of dead things when I was at Bald Hill Beach last weekend, including this large southern fiddler ray (which I have reported on iNaturalist). I am worried for the migratory shorebirds that will arrive soon.

Your mate RFK Jr. says he’s got a brain worm. Perhaps you can borrow his. In any case with all the weapons you’ve got in public circulation, your entire country is one gigantic kill zone. Why any intelligent, self respecting person would ever want to live there is completely beyond comprehension.

I reckon those real Presidents, whose images are carved into that mountain face, wouldn’t have given you and your grubby mates the smell of an oily fart if they were around now. You’re the absolute antithesis of all they ever stood for. Poor old America, well and truly buggered for all eternity.

Queensland has extremely weak penalties. In other Australian states, the vehicles and equipment used in the commissioning of the offences would have been seized, the penalties would have been multiple thousands of $ per person and required them to pay for the building removal and site restitution.

Frankly, China cannot be trusted anymore than the US can. Any country that consistently shines weapons grade lasers at your aircraft and blasts acoustic sonar at your navy divers when your warships meet in international waters, doesn’t have your best interests at heart.

A gross misuse of a particular piece of legislation for a purpose for which it was never intended. The protection and shielding of certain individuals, who have a record of using their position of authority, wealth or power to subvert the public good.

Organised crime bosses and their families don’t give a fritter about people, economies or jobs growth. They’re only interested in their own avalanching cash flow and their ability to apply muscle, coercion and control to get everyone around to kiss their ring and fall in line.

You’re quite correct. They were LAPD officers. And very identifiable as such.

This LAPD Officer is clearly identifiable from the footage. He fired deliberately, intending to cause pain and injury to a female reporter without any threat or danger being present. Ch 9 needs to report this, along with the footage to Cal Governor, Mayor and LAPD. Get this little sadist booted out.

War?.?
Palestine has NO Army, Navy or Airforce.
So, it's Not "Soldier vs Soldier"
Actually it's "Soldiers vs Unarmed Civilians"
Soooooo, more of a Genocide than a war..

What a silly, entitled "in love with himself" little twerp Littleproud is. Clearly thinks he's smarter than anyone else. As for their new self serving slogan "Energy is the economy" what a joke from these dinosaurs who in 9yrs in govt achieved nothing for action in climate change. Hypocrites😑
