Word ... Jacqui Lambie on fire. And with truth. Every Australian needs to hear this. The Parliament of this country will be poorer without her, as will we. (The 'muted' word is 'Trump', cos I'm sick to bloody death & back again of the barrage of posts about him ... as though the fkr's 'important')

Jacqui Lambie torches Pauline Hanson over recent disgraceful comments, her MAGA-style populism, & saying we should rely on ppl like Trump “Rely on Donald Trump? Are u serious?” Says Hanson, Farage, Trump, are all for “hanging out with billionaires & feathering their own nest.”🔥

Lots of things make me emotional lately, but this sure does “hit different”. Things have changed in America and not for the better, and I think most of us have a pretty good idea why. 😔 1/

The Israel lobby has dropped its vexatious lawsuit against @marykostakidis.bsky.social whose bravery and integrity is a light for us all Andrew Brown #auspol michaelwest.com.au/mary-kostaki...

Nick McKim has torched Matt Canavan & Angus Taylor for their misogyny, ‘fueling the toxic manosphere”, ‘blaming women’ & making claims of ‘femisation of schools’ “What does that even mean?” “Real men don’t blame women when life gets tough.”💥💯

#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using. When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate

BREAKING Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says that he's 'immensely relieved' that Barnaby Joyce isn't Jesus "Implementing the Parliamentary bonking ban was difficult enough. A ban on turning water into wine would have been impossible to get through the House, let alone the Senate"
