The Libs and Nats deciding to give their preferences to One Nazion tells us exactly where we are in Australian politics. There is now a de facto National Front determined to strip every shred of decency and humanity from the political scene. We must unite to stop them! #auspol

Single frame. Prayer session in the Oval Office. Trump’s team laying hands on Trump, as his pastor says, “O Lord, cast out those misguided religious leaders who would dare to meddle in our politics…”
Let us pray.

So far, only women have been removed from the cabinet.
Secure Jobs. Better Universities.
Ongoing work should mean ongoing jobs. Fixed-term contracts create more uncertainty, more stress and less control over our working lives. Staff deserve secure, stable jobs to build stronger and more sustainable universities: betterworkplaces.nteu.au/
Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.
I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.
Not sure why this isn't defined as treason . . .
Quentin de Tarantino is obviously one of Vance's principal theological authorities. Crucial for understanding Just War theory.
Greatest military in human history . . .
The distressing thing is that there are at least half a dozen likely perpetrators of this hybrid warfare.
Thank you for fighting this attack, Bluesky team! 🙂
Brilliant must read piece from Amy Remeikis. 👇🏼 #auspol
I think one of the hardest realisations I’ve had is having to accept just how much some people enjoy seeing other people suffer.
Single frame. Man standing in front of woman in wheelchair says: “Instead of complaining about the expensive nuclear subs we may never see, or our increasing expenditure on war machinery, maybe think about how properly funding YOUR NEEDS makes us LESS SAFE as a country…”
Priorities.

Hitler's bunker, Mark II.
I'm not an authority on this, but it does seem that Vance missed some of the key tenets of the religion he was embracing. Not to mention the history of the Reformation. Lay people lecturing priests on theology was not a notably Catholic position. Still isn't.
Lawyer Nick Hanna and the Palestine Action Group celebrating outside court today
NSW's fascistic anti-protest laws, enacted after Bondi and to allow Isaac Herzog, a war criminal, to tour without opposition, have been defeated in court today. The Appeals court found the laws "impermissibly burden" implied constitutional rights. From the river to the sea.
Essentially Australia's John Fetterman.
I feel Marles has essentially left the building and wants to head to the US to toady up to their defence industry. His electorate needs to take a good hard look at him and get rid of him. In reality he probably should have nominated for the Liberal leadership!
This didn't happen by accident, the Albanese Government had the power to stop the extradition and chose not to. Australia should not be America's deputy sheriff, and we should not be acting as its jailer. Dan is paying the price for a Government that puts America and its needs ahead of Australia’s.
Single frame. Dark room with Trump sitting across a table from an Iranian leader. Between them sitting on the table is an elephant with the Israeli flag on its forehead.
Peace talks.
My @smh cartoon.
"Jonno Duniam responded to criticisms of the scale of monitoring all those people by saying a Coalition government would “triage efforts” based on where people came from."
So nothing at all racist in these proposals then.
You don't see off the Hanson-Rinehart-Murdoch axis and its Coalition clones by caving in to them, @albomp.bsky.social. You do it with bold policies, strong grassroots organisation, and a progressive vision for Australia's future. Learn from Hungary, for God's sake! #auspol
The massive Orban defeat should prompt Dems to align themselves more firmly with anti-fascist and pro-democracy forces abroad. There's a powerful link to be drawn between the celebrations in Budapest and the confrontations with ICE in Minneapolis. 1/

Four frames. Angus Taylor and journo. 1. Angus: “We need to decide who we let into this country...” Journo: “We already do, through our immigration process.” 2. A: “Yes, well we need to make sure they respect our values…” J: “They already have to pass a values test.” 3. A: “Well, we need to ensure they don’t breach these values…” J: “We have laws, and consequences for people who break them.” 4. A: “Something something people from Gaza…” J: “It’s hard coming second to Pauline, isn’t it.”
All he’s got.
My @smh cartoon.
You missed two words at the end, sir. They are: 'by anybody'.
Exactly 💯
My partner, who died a fortnight ago, was wonderfully cared for in her last days by many first-generation Australians, among others. Enough with this barely-disguised racism!
I've been in two hospitals lately and the excellent staff were overwhelmingly 1st gen Australians. The second hand policies of these pathetic, hate-monger politicians would destroy this country.
Hey Angus Taylor
Love of family
Caring for our community
Working hard
Sacrificing for our children
Giving back
Being a good neighbour
Are not “Australian values”
They are Universal Values that all cultures and people have
We don’t have to prove we are human to you and deserving of dignity
