Ed Husic’s attempt to recognise claims of genocide in Gaza failed to gain support for a debate at Labor's national conference. As Julia Gillard once wrote, Labor conferences are at their worst when anything controversial is swept under the carpet. The ALP needs to be better than this, much better.
How many tonnes of concrete would this take? And at what cost? Who cares? It would be less than his ballroom and so it would be no surprise to see it happen before his term ends!
One unleashes the *hounds* of Hell, not the gates of Hell, you illiterate moron.
In April Trump said that he "CURRENTLY" had no plans to use nuclear weapons against Iran but since then the US has suffered heavy blows to personnel, military bases and hardware, and we know this lunatic can change his mind very quickly. Heaven help us if he does. www.19fortyfive.com/2026/04/dona...
Donald Trump Might Really Use Nuclear Weapons on Iran
In 2016, Joe Scarborough claimed Trump asked his foreign policy team three times in a single hour-long meeting why he couldn't use nuclear weapons. Everyone dismissed it. Now Trump has threatened to d...

What Jillian Segal doesn't seem to understand is the anti-Israeli sentiment that she mistakes for antisemitism is simply a total abhorrence with what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank. www.lamestream.com.au/we-counted-a...

Trump embarrassed the US again at the July 2026 NATO summit. It’s not just embarrassing, it’s dangerous. He keeps demonstrating his fundamental ignorance of the NATO alliance. He doesn't understand that NATO is a defensive alliance, not an offensive one. www.msn.com/en-au/news/o...

Isn't it time Australia stopped supplying arms to Israel? Netanyahu openly stating that he will not comply with the peace deal should be enough. Penny Wong babbles on about Israel upholding its obligations under international law and ending settler violence. Hopeless!!! Just stop supplying arms.
Paul Eric@pauleric70.bsky.social · 2mo agoBenjamin Netanyahu is now holding the world hostage and openly admits he will not comply with any peace deal, instead moving forward with his Greater Israel agenda. Netanyahu says he wants to control all of Gaza and will continue the war in Lebanon. "We do not leave as long as Israel’s security
Hanson will increase defence spending by $340b a year, make it easier to sack workers, allow pensioners to work as much as they like, and pay for it by scrapping the ABC and SBS and allowing Australia a stake in gas companies. Seriously? Dumb, just bloody dumb. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
We are in a post-fact world and Hanson is revelling in it
There will no doubt be endless factchecks of Hanson’s speech but it won’t matter. We are in a post-fact world.

Billionaire Gina Rinehart wants a bulldozer to destroy Indigenous sacred sites, native forests and anybody who gets in her way. If this greedy woman paid her fair share of tax, there’d be a lot fewer people sleeping in tents and cars, and a lot less poverty generally in this country. #PissOffGina
stranger@strangerous.bsky.social · 2mo ago<cringe warning>🚨 Gina Rinehart at Newscorpse event gifts Pauline Hanson custom made ‘orange’ bulldozer—and asks the audience to make "grrrr" noises. This is unbelievably pathetic. Rinehart is trying to bring MAGA to Australia. Say no. #auspol
Calling Pauline Hanson dumb won’t work. Remember Hillary’s “deplorables”? That didn’t work either. Much better to call out Hanson’s appalling record on wages and job security, and how she opposed the Fair Work Commission’s 4.75% pay rise to minimum wage earners. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"The most corrupt administration in American history." Well done all you MAGA turkeys. It was never about making America great. I was only ever about making Donald Trump filthy rich. And you (and the rest of the world) have another two and a half years of this corruption to go. Suck it up America.

“Today I stand before you as a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s horrendous abuses,” said the commander-in-chief, who paused to collect himself as he stressed that he was only a young, innocent 41-year-old when Epstein began grooming him in Palm Beach, FL.

The Greens can be pretty extreme in their rhetoric at times but on the matter of Aukus, David Shoebridge is 110pc correct. If Australia gets drawn into a war between the US and China, and with a buffoon like Donald Trump in charge, that's quite possible, Anthony Albanese has a lot to answer for.
