‘A very dangerous person’: alarm as Pete Hegseth revels in carnage of Iran war Critics say brash, bombastic Fox News host out of his depth to guide US military through murky new Middle East conflict

“You are an abuser of women – that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me...”

Australia just had its 8th hottest summer on record and its wettest summer in almost a decade.

Instead of addressing the floods and fires and helping communities, Albanese is approving fossil fuel projects and giving these companies billions in subsidies and tax breaks.

You cannot bomb your way to peace.

Labor must immediately rule out further Australian support for Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal war in Iran.

Riding the rightwing algorithm to success: is Karl Stefanovic Australia’s Joe Rogan? Pauline Hanson, Barnaby Joyce and Anthony Albanese have appeared on news host’s breakaway podcast, which has climbed to No 2 in Australian charts

A 'supposed' independent podcast... lol! About unchallenged fringe content and controversial guests... sponsored by who I wonder 🤔

Ardern has been out of office for nearly 3 years but the obsessive rage of anti-vaxers etc has not diminished in intensity at all.
Journalists reporting on her whereabouts, on the Sydney suburbs she’s considering, need to consider whether their articles risk exposing her to potential violence

Supporting removing Prince Andrew from the line of succession is good but what would be better is removing Australia from an inherited dynasty of wealth and privilege that protected him and his class for far too long

Opposing for opposition’s sake isn’t vision. It’s not policy. And it’s definitely not leadership!
Australia wants a healthy, strong & happy future with credible plans, not a running commentary on how to bring the other side down.
Their primary objective is to win power, not improve the country FFS!

Live: Liberals call for leadership spill as wave of frontbenchers resign Several Liberal frontbenchers have resigned from their roles amid calls for a spill of leadership positions. Follow live.

Putting Jane Hume in as Deputy Leader would reward controversy over judgment. Baseless “Chinese spies” claims, alienated communities, negative headlines, and a shadow cabinet demotion — that’s not unity or discipline. It’s electoral risk when stability is needed most.
