Who could possibly have foreseen that allowing our roads to be flooded with oversize vehicles that are...
1. Incredibly fuel hungry and inefficient
2 Very dangerous to other drivers and pedestrians
3 Very destructive to our road surfaces
...could lead to future problems?
Beyond irony 🤯🤬
“Government to spend millions in ads telling motorists to remove unnecessary weight from their vehicles … after years of incentivising the uptake of ludicrously large heavy SUVs now clogging our roads.”@markgkenny.bsky.social #auspol
Maybe someone could tap Albo and Minns on the shoulder at one of those exclusive parties where they schmooze with and fangirl over Lachlan Murdoch...and point this out to them?
Whatever they think privately of Trump, they know espousing support publicly isn't a winner in Australia. So they're leaving that to their downmarket cousins in One Nation while trying to shore up some sort of more centrist position.
"Conform to Australian culture," says Barnaby. What is that exactly? Getting shit-faced drunk and collapsing in the street, and being thrown out of home by your wife and daughters for having a "bit on the side." Muslim Australians have more dignity and honour than this buffoon has ever had. #auspol
In fact, it would be VERY Trump to recruit allies to 'help' (that is, to share the blame and the consequences of his rash unilateral military action)...then declare 'victory' at some arbitrary moment well before US Midterms and leave them holding the baby.
Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember

What about we keep the Royal Commission but change its terms of reference to examine the excessive influence of Israeli lobby groups on Australian politics, media and business?
But of course, precisely because of that influence, we could never do that.

We could save even more money by scraping the Royal Commission into antisemitism. In the end Australia is no longer in charge of our future, we take orders from Israel through their plant, Jillian Segal. #auspol #opinion #coryidau

David Littleproud resigns.
As an old woman who actually worked for the Labor party as recently as two years ago, yes to this.
Albo's attempts to 'both sides' every issue and not offend anyone are starting to wear thin. Electoral success matters but sometimes you have to take a solid stand for what you believe in...if anything.
Australia has always been a reliably supine lapdog to US foreign policy...with perhaps a brief lapse during Whitlam period. Whereas both Canada and NZ have always taken a more independent stance more in line with their own national interests. And haven't suffered for it.
We seem to be stuck between two 'alternatives'...
One of our major parties would have us as the 51st state of US if they could. The other of our major parties is too terrified of adverse publicity to do anything about the moribund relationship.
Our country probably sees the reality of the current US...it is impossible not to...but is too timid and chickenshit to do anything about it. #auspol
Albanese offers Sandilands support, “Sorry to hear that Jackie O is being difficult”
Following backlash, Albanese claims he meant that Jackie O had a ‘difficult life’ having worked with Kyle

Shocking: Liberal Party election review finds horribly unpopular leader with horribly unpopular policies wasn’t popular
The report was leaked after initially being withheld from publication when Dutton suggested it could result in a defamation suit, in a move that probably could have been added to the report. chaser.com.au/national/sho...
Is 'Navy Hospital Boat' secret code for 'Yacht full of billionaire pedophiles'?
The state of play now is that, when push comes to shove, even opposite numbers support each other in their corruption.
Trump says Clinton wasn't involved. Clinton says Trump wasn't involved. And both agree that everyone should just move along because there's nothing to see here.
Yes, that notion of 'free markets' and 'fair competition' goes right out of the window when its against the interests of the foremost proponents of 'free markets'. Odd, eh?
That's what makes me laugh when I hear the likes of Elon proposing a workless future of UBI and plenty. No it won't. Not without enormous organisation and fight. The same greedy billionaires will still try to skim every last dollar off the top and leave everyone else in poverty and want.
What about the most lies vs the most boasts?
Allowing for the HUGE intersection between these two sets, of course.
Without a doubt.
The media all owned by Trump's billionaire flunkies and buddies...including this platform. And they are all shilling for him. Trump's approval is tanking AND YET most people don't know half of the depraved shit that he is doing.
DO YOU AGREE THAT THE MEDIA IS COMPLICIT WITH TRUMP'S CRIMES AND SUPPORT HIM BY SIMPLY NOT REPORTING SHIT THAT HE DOES?! 🤚
And, in the layer just above that of the frightened adult children, are two swaggering bullies who attempt to use their obscene wealth to impose their will on our polity.
I've always thought that Clive should leave his wife and marry Gina Rinehart and be done with it. A union of repulsive greedy ugly self-serving billionaires.
Boom!
Should be...
But it's just one of THOUSANDS of his lies. And by no means the most serious one either. And the lies themselves are such a minor part of his repertoire of crime and corruption and depravity. It's difficult to know where to start.
A) This is a lie. Other countries have it.
B) Trump uses it regularly.
Bottom line: They are afraid of you voting.
