Jess Wilson repeatedly dodges questions on whether One Nation Vic leader Warren Pickering’s status as a conspiracy theorist is ‘alarming’, until finally admitting she finds it “very normal” 🙄 What’s ‘alarming’ is the prospect of a Wilson-Pickering government running Victoria.
“The national imprisonment rate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults reached 2,500 per 100,000 in 2025 — 16.7 times the rate for non-Indigenous adults.” blakandblack.com/2026/08/05/t...
Palantir hoovering up European defence and NHS contracts whilst funnelling earnings back to the US to pay negligible corporate tax is a complete failure of digital sovereignty. European states must stop enriching tech firms that drain public coffers. Is it time to ban them? #FBPE
Palantir funnels earnings to US to avoid European taxes, report finds
A new study finds that Palantir, which boasts of high profit margins in the U.S., barely scrapes a margin in Europe, which helps slash its tax bill.

John Fetterman is Israel first and he’s blatantly anti-democracy. He can’t even make a cohesive argument and then he conflates all Jewish people with Israel which is ANTISEMITIC. www.instagram.com/reel/DbofT7e...
Europe shuts nuclear power plants due to drought. Now imagine putting nuclear power plants on the driest inhabited continent on earth 🙄
Fun fact. Wookies are naked. All the time.
WTF!!! A doctor who botched an operation so badly it was described as "not compatible with life" has been struck off the medical register. It meant the contents of the patient's bowel, leaving his stomach, were re-deposited back into his stomach through a circular "closed loop"
Oldham surgeon struck off after wrongly connecting patient's organs
An expert witness said the bowel procedure carried out by the surgeon was "not known to man".

We should just ban America from having their own government
Total absence of humanity!
Senator David Shoebridge@davidshoebridge.bsky.social · 18h agoThis is a Minister who is purposeful delaying family reunion visas, denying refugees protection and scapegoating migrants for issues his Government created. It is not surprise Labor is in a race to the bottom on immigration, but it is toxic politics. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...

Just wondering how long until we’re all forced into a daily ‘two minutes hate’
Using some of my 4 weeks paid annual leave or one of 17 sick days or 5 days of my 14 week long service leave while chewing on cheap prescription drugs that keep me alive to watch American news "wow! Greatest country in the world"
1/ Stupid is as stupid does. 80+ yrs of solid indoctrination is proving to be suicide for Australia & Asia-Pacific Family. #Auspol McBride like others in ADF have been groomed by white supremacists, neo-Nazis & other extremists who found their way into the US military during the War on Terror #AUKUS
Pearls and Irritations@johnmenadue.com · 20h agoThe great powers of 1914 built deterrence, alliances and enemy thinking until one trigger incident became catastrophe. Today’s rivalry with China risks repeating the same cycle, Crispin Hull writes. #auspol #China #War

That's the problem with the macho, mask-off, hyper-masc, guns blazing crowd represented by Pete Hegseth. They simply refuse to accept that the possibility of force is more powerful than actually using it.

Halfway through Closing the Gap Agreement: 3 of 19 targets on track, 4 getting worse. The Productivity Commission’s 2026 report is blunt about why — self-determination works where allowed to. Justice & child protection are where governments have refused to let go blakandblack.com/2026/08/05/t...
