Rather than it being a snub, Trump chickened out of his meeting with Albanese. The gulf between Albanese's intellectual and moral clarity and Trump's would have been too embarrassing for him. That's why they call him #TACO. #auspol

Mussolini famously said "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." This move by #Trump is fascism in its purest form. #auspol #uspolitics #NoKings www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/b...

The Victorian Liberals are beyond help. Let them sink and start again

Despite the corruption rampant in Victoria, the Victorian Liberals remain obsessed with their own internal brawls, and remain unelectable. Genuine liberals may have to go elsewhere.

Like the citizens of 1930s Nazi Germany, US citizens have a choice. They can turn a blind eye to the atrocities of their government and leader and reap the consequences as the meek Germans did in WW2, OR they can stand up to fascism and end the tyranny now. #auspol #Trump
