And there’s that…

I think the last major party politician who actually stood up to power rather than working on its behalf was Bill Shorten. And he was definitely Robinson Crusoe.

The days of politicians in the major parties standing up for what is right, & working on the side of the people have long disappeared.

Note:

Donald Trump repeatedly said it wasn’t a war, it was an ‘excursion’.

Repeatedly.

New detection tech could make AUKUS submarines obsolete Chinese researchers have developed a new gravity-based detector that could be used to find submarines and render the proposed AUKUS submarine redundant.

"One hates to think of $368 billion (and counting) wasted on a project that, by the time it is delivered, technology will have made redundant."

And that's even if we get those mythical subs. #DitchAUKUS #auspol

Minns is the worst Labor leader since Billy Hughes.

In the 70's the Government owned Energy, it built houses, it owned Public Services and it employed people.

Now billionaires own it all, and they pay you too.

So every year prices go up more than wages.

It's not complicated why things are only getting worse.

It's billionaires

Plutocracy Rule by the wealthy Kleptocracy Rule by corrupt thieves Kakistocracy Rule by the worst, least qualified But what if it's all 3... What's the word for that?

I think we do need a new word that accounts for all three.

The actuality of Donald Trump proves that the Constitution of the United States of America is a worthless document.

It is wholly reliant on conventions in place rather than true separation of powers.

Nobody outside of the USA takes it seriously.

The United States is destroying itself | Rebecca Solnit The daily news can’t adequately convey the administration’s sabotaging of our government, economy, alliances and environment

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

Anyone who listens to Joe Rogan is a fuvkwit.

I’ve asked this question before, & I intend to keep asking:

When will Donald Trump be prosecuted for the staged assassination which led to the death of two people?

Fucking Rose Jackson. Again. And Penny Sharpe again too. Arse clowns.

The US blockade is a hostile act, not just towards Iran but towards the entire world, including Australia. Energy supplies, food supplies, jobs, all hostage to the whims of US military power … and Labor wants to keep us tied to them. Unbelievable really.

“The hypothesis that thawing of permafrost could release sufficient climate forcing gases not only to continue but to accelerate climate change is one step closer to being confirmed by the results we are publishing today.”

Just saw ‘Events That Changed Australia’ on NineNow about the Black Saturday Fires in 2009

Ben Fordham & a host of 9 personalities ragging on Christine Nixon for going to a pub for a 2 hr dinner

Same folk who said nothing about Scomo sneaking off to Hawaii, & David Elliott to 🇬🇧 in 2019

How will we know ADF personnel participated in the illegal Trump-Netanyahu-Epstein war:

Participants will be awarded the Australian Active Service Medal (AASM) qualifying them for a Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) Gold Card for all medical expenses

The AASM is documented for each operation

Australia is an abused partner in an abusive relationship.

All health advice suggests urgently leaving abusive relationships.

Will Labor put it's money where its mouth is 🤔

• JDF Pine Gap provides targeting information to US & allied forces • Harold E Holt privides comms to submerged submarines • A deployed E-7A Wedgetail provides Australia & its 5 Eyes allies with advanced airspace battle management capability • ADF & Defence civilian personnel are embedded on US Navy ships & submarines & US Middle East installations

Anthony Albanese decided to address Australia & opened with these words:

“Australia is not an active participant in this war. But all Australians are paying higher prices because of it”

Let’s get real Albo 👇🏿

Hegseth’s understanding of supply chains & logistics appears rather limited.

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.

Dirty money funding fascism is exactly what you expect to find when you look under the hood…
