@BenFordhamLive So? He's a raving lunatic who started an illegal war he doesn't have a plan to finish, threatening to enact war crimes. Nobody should help him

Donald Trump has called out Australia again ! The US President says we haven’t supported America in the Middle East. Listen to the details HERE. 🎧omny.fm/shows/ben-ford…🎧

@mirandadevine If submission to a psychopathic lunatic and his merry band of grifting degenerates is your thing just keep it to yourself. The rest of us will last blame directly where it belongs - Trump, his handlers and his enablers

Australia has fought and bled and died alongside the US in every war and one feckless Trump-deranged Labor government has damaged that relationship - hence Trump's callout today.

@KatyKray73 Well, they say they do, while dear leader hobnobs with billionaires & tries to get more guns in the country, but when Pauline actually turns up for work (53% of the time! Bludger!), she votes against the interests of the average Aussie. PHON is all slogans, no substance.

One Nation's soaring in the polls because voters are fed up with the major parties' broken promises on cost of living, housing, and sky-high immigration. While Labor & Liberals chase global agendas, One Nation puts Australian workers, families & borders first. 🇦🇺

What? He lost his marbles years ago. Why have so many pretended otherwise for so long, especially in the media who have sane-washed his unhinged rantings and helped normalise things - "That's just Trump." All are complicit in his continuing destruction.

Hey @RichardMarlesMP, @SenatorWong, @AlboMP how are those shared values going?

@seungminkim If this is the best "journalism" you can do, probably best to ask for a refund from whatever university you got your Master's degree from. Or did you pay for it with your integrity?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump promises strikes on Iran’s power plants and bridges on Tuesday if the Strait of Hormuz isn't reopened.

For as long as you refuse to condemn this @SenatorWong I don’t want to hear the words ‘international law,’ ‘strongly condemn’ or ‘grave concerns’ come out of your mouth. #auspol

@clairlemon Well, they are making a packet out of re-selling our gas...

"Japan will provide Australia with a normal level of fuel supply as the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked." How cool is Japan 🇯🇵🇦🇺 abc.net.au/news/2026-04-0…

@MaryKostakidis I'm sick of so many citing fictional books ascribed to fictional gods. Who cares?! Only madness lies that way. We must rely on our common humanity, the one that we share before religion divides us up into groups that can't even decide what they think is right among them. FFS!

Avrum Burg goes ballistic. He is sick of it, as we all are. The rabbis is Israel get a serve too.

@JaneCaro And they'll blame it on anyone but those at fault

They will find out.

Poor little Johnny doesn't have the guts to slander me without hiding behind a block. Don't be like Johnny.

@JohnnyDavidVO OK, here's something else for your homework list. Look up Dunning-Kruger effect & try and see how it applies to you.

I've had enough of stupid people. Part 4.

@JohnnyDavidVO @AusPoll6 Great! So the reading part is OK. Just keep working on the comprehension part; you might get there one day! And, did you know that ad hominem is a sure sign you don't have an actual argument. Lazy debating style. You should work on that, too.

@66jayel @AusPoll6 Yes, because unlike you, I can read.

It’s time the Labor Caucus grows a spine and demands that the Cabinet and Hegseth’s mate Marles unequivocally condemns Trump, Netanyahu and Hegseth. Religious extremism underpins this illegal,disastrous war. Working class Aussies will pay the price not warmongering politicians.

@mattjcan You're so close Go outside, look up & you may notice the greatest natural resource we have, and the good news is it won't run out for billions of years! Sorry, you won't be able to smear it on your face for cosplay, but stay out there long enough and it'll make you face red🌞

Our dependence on foreign oil supplies is our greatest economic and national security risk. We shouldn't be so exposed if we just used the massive energy resources we have. I wrote more in the Daily Telegraph yesterday - and full article below. --- Every day about 80 ships arrive in Australia with freight from overseas. About half of these ships, at least by weight, carry petrol, diesel and other fuels. Because of the Iran war we are getting a hard lesson on how vulnerable we are to this dependency. As hard as the next few months are likely to be it is far from the worst that we might face. This Middle East conflict is not one we are directly involved in. A conflict in the Pacific would put us in much more of a pickle. This week the Page Research Centre, a research body aligned with the Nationals Party, released a report on what we should do to prepare for the risk of conflict in our region. Their report's title highlights the issue, *All at Sea: Fuel, War, and Australia’s Achilles’ Heel*. The problem we have is that any potential adversary can tailor their strategy to cut our sea lanes and smoke us out. This strategy can be effective almost independent of the size of our oil stockpiles. While much of the debate has focused on why we don't have three months' worth of fuel, many sieges have lasted longer than that. Stockpiles can give us breathing space but they are not long term protection. Others have used this debate to push electric vehicles. Some adoption of electrification can help and I love electric vehicles. I would have already bought one but for the cost. There are two major issues with electric vehicles as a solution. First, we do not have enough electricity to service our current needs. Any major expansion of electricity demand cannot be filled by just renewable energy. We would need to build coal, gas and nuclear plants as well. Second, even if we convert our entire passenger car fleet to electric vehicles that would save just 30 per cent of our fuel demand. We can also use more biofuels to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, however, they too cannot supply most of our oil needs either. Australia should never find itself facing an energy crisis again. Australia has more energy resources per person than any country in the world except Saudi Arabia. However, 95 per cent of our energy is in coal and uranium, the two energy sources that the current Labor government refuses to use. Our incoming energy crisis is a choice, not a destiny. It is a choice imposed on us by a net zero obsessed government that has put the pursuit of unrealistic and unachievable global emissions targets above the national security of Australia. Our enormous coal reserves can be converted into oil. Coal to liquids technologies have been used at scale since World War II. South Africa today produces around 40 per cent of its liquid fuels from its coal reserves. China now converts around 400 million tonnes of coal to liquids every year. According to the Page Report we could get such technologies going in about a year. This crisis may end before that but this experience should be a massive wake up call because the next crisis might be much tougher for us. Change is coming. This week even the net zero obsessed Labor Government was forced to rush emergency legislation to subsidise the importation of petrol and diesel to Australia. So, the Labor Government, which has fought a war on fossil fuels for its first four years, has been reduced to desperately using taxpayer funds to support the overseas production of the same fossil fuels they have been saying we no longer need. The Labor Government refused to support our amendments, which would have unwound the prohibitions and restrictions, on the production of oil and gas in Australia, that Labor has inserted into federal law. So we now have the bizarre spectacle of an Australian Government supporting the creation of foreign oil and gas jobs in overseas countries, but the Australian Government won't support the creation of Australian oil and gas jobs in its own country. If it is a good thing to support the importation of fossil fuels from overseas, why is it not a good thing to support the production of fossil fuels here? Domestic production would reduce our dependency on foreign countries too. We are the only island nation in the world that is its own continent. With a continent full of resources we should not voluntarily put ourselves at risk of a modern day U-boat campaign on our shipping lanes. We are a land "girt by sea" but because "our land abounds in nature's gifts" we should never again be so dependent on others as we are now.

@JohnnyDavidVO @AusPoll6 Have you actually read their policies? And have you seen how Hanson votes *against* everything that would help average Australians (when she even bothers to show up; 53% attendance at Parliament - she's a bludger, just in case you're on the PHON bandwagon)?

@66jayel @AusPoll6 Yeah, and it ain't the Greens.

A shout out to Australians. If you have some spare time & an electric or hybrid car, please consider volunteering with Meals on Wheels. MOW depends on volunteers who use their own cars to deliver meals. The fuel crisis is going to hit MOW hard. Contact your local MOW directly

@maurbug52 @noplaceforsheep @AustralianLabor @AlboMP I don't mean to rub salt into the wounds but I don't get how it wasn't obvious from their first term exactly who Labor are, or why that wasn't enough to change minds. AUKUS, NACC, electoral laws, environmental laws - all half-arsed + hit job on Greens, sucking up to US, Murdoch

@noplaceforsheep @AustralianLabor Don't beat yourself up over it, I think many of us were so fed up with Scomo and his corruption and it never entered our heads that @AlboMP would turn out to be such a traitorous numpty. I woke up about a month after he first came into power. Dutton also scared many voters.

I can hardly bear to think that I helped Labor to its massive majority, & they just turned around & gave up everything, everything, for Israel & Trump. 🥴 It will be a cold day in hell before I ever support them again @AustralianLabor

@Vicnic01 @ItsBouquet Genuinely curious how a former Labor/Greens voter switches to PHON.

@ItsBouquet I abstained from voting in the HoR last election too. And for the same reason. Voted One Nation in Senate -first time ever to not vote Labor or Green. (Helped them get a new Senator elected).

I must have known something - I abstained from voting in the HoR last election - mainly because Labor had done fuck all for the vulnerable among us. (Voted Green in the Senate)
