Toothless tigers the lot of them.

“After 21 major inquiries in Australia, most close without prosecution, follow-up, or meaningful reform.

Australia’s repeated failure to enforce accountability allows harm from crime to persist.”

Palantir is known to have provided technology that facilitated the Gaza genocide. They are facilitating mass ICE kidnappings in the US. These actions alone should trigger a review of Australian contracts. This latest manifesto only adds to the concern.

All Chris Minns had to do - at a bare minimum - was be less bad than Berejiklian and Perrottet. And yet.

Happy 80th birthday to the fab Tim Curry, pictured with Rocky Horror creator, Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff & Patricia Quinn as Magenta. I once interviewed O'Brien who said that Frank n' Furter was a reflection of his own diverse sexuality. For moderns who like absolutes -sometimes there aren't any.

The world faces a grim reality, even if Trump exists in a different one The world is stuck watching a performative series of announcements about meetings that could, may, will happen, involving a president not dealing with the reality that he is in a weak and confused bar...

Trump spitting the dummy again about Australia.
I wonder how close the next transfer of the next pointless payment of #aukus billions of dollars is? Is this the way the US ensures that @albomp.bsky.social obeys? #auspol

Just yesterday Labor bet everything in defence on binding us to the US. Trump didn’t even notice, let alone care, and has come out and attacked Australia anyhow. This is not a relationship of friends or allies, we are being held hostage and need to escape.

"An army marches on its stomach" there's even an aphorism about it.

US doctors defend Trump, “This is how we all dress now” Donald Trump has been defended by the US medical industry, with thousands of doctors insisting they all dress now like a deity who dispenses medicine like it’s all a magic trick.

NEWS! US doctors defend Trump, "This is how we all dress now" newsthump.com/2026/04/14/u...

Jane Hume confirms the Liberals new
migration policy will include a ‘Safe Country list’ for nations like “Israel” - bcoz apparently ppl from the IDF have a higher standard than the Palestinians they like to murder? 🙄 #auspol

Today's lie .....Trump thought he was being depicted as a doctor. Doctors in the 'great' USA wear really odd clothing.

Wait for the surprise.. 😅

I don't mind admitting that I hope the US and Israel suffer a crushing, devastating defeat in Iran. I hope this war collapses the entire US empire. My only loyalty is to humanity, and being on Team Human in today's world means being against the US empire and against Israel.

Stop Trump Tower on the Gold Coast! If you, like me, are concerned about the direction our country will go if a Trump Tower is built in our country, then join me in objecting!

“When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said "Let us pray." We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.”

While Trump’s deranged spiel against Pope Leo was ludicrous, let’s not forget the Pope rules over the most evil, colonising, patriarchal, misogynistic organisation in the history of the world and not much has changed under his leadership.

Listening to The Sunday Shot makes me feel like there are still some normal humans in journalism! Many thanks for your passion and honest reporting!

The gig is up.
After playing us for fools, capitalists know we know we are being screwed.
The only way they can protect their “market generated” wealth now is by imposing fascism.
They’re cooked.
And we are holding the tongs.

I complain about terrible journalism and journalists in Australia all the f'n time. Fortunately, there are also exceptions to the rule. This morning on Sunday Shot we're chatting with the excellent @amyremeikis.bsky.social and Stephen Long. Join us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFiv...

Why couldn't Australia be a signatory to this too?

If there's anyone in the Labor Govt. weaker than @albomp.bsky.social it's the perfumed warlord Marles. Listening to his pathetic non-answers on RN just now. #auspol
