@RonniSalt the discourse around this, especially the royal commission, is all about the green light to go as hard as possible at people like Cathy. Funny how there was so much anger and vitriol at giving a voice to people whose country we stole when really all it takes is money and media

Another highly qualified woman the pro-Israel lobby have a problem with Cathy Willcox's job is a political cartoonist; she is not an abalone diver Her entire job is to question, analyse and provoke discussion - that is the entire point of a political cartoonist She is one of the greatest cartoonists Australia has ever produced, of far more astuteness, intelligence and respect in her profession than the men now inciting a disgusting pile-on, to the point this woman is now fearing for her safety Anybody who's still supporting this narrative by this stage knows exactly what they're doing .

@TheCinesthetic not touching any food at an expensive restaurant and then walking out after throwing a handful of notes on the table

What something that’s completely normal in movies but would be weird and even psychotic in real life?

@Leo_Puglisi6 @6NewsAU once you have had a taste of Saudi money, everything else pales in comparison...

#BREAKING: The planned Serie A match between AC Milan and Como in Perth has been CANCELLED Serie A says there was “an escalation of further and unacceptable requests by the AFC towards the Australian Federation and consequently the Government of Western Australia” @6NewsAU

surely with all the money in cricket they can afford super high resolution/high frame rate cameras so that snicko can be lined up with the pictures #Ashes

@Civixplorer the pentagon

What country is this? Wrong answers only.

If the Poms had thrown away their wickets the way Australia did today, the press would be all over them. Some terrible decision making on an absoluyte road of a pitch and England is well ahead #Ashes

@KirstiMiller30 how dumb are these people. Ivy league is not top tier in collegiate sport. They don't give out athletic scholarships

Gaines came 86th out of 86 swimmers in the USA Olympic trials.

@ellymelly a huge problem because.? he stands for nothing, serves vested interests and fucks over his electorate, and of course there's the lying in the gutter drunk stuff. But I'm sure you have LOTS of examples of what an upstanding champion of the ordinary person this walking parasite is

Barnaby Joyce officially joins One Nation. Talk about giving the Coalition coal for Christmas 😂 In all seriousness, this is a huge problem for Sussan Ley and Littleproud. It's a REFORM-level event and perhaps a final warning from voters. STORY | spectator.com.au/2025/12/barnab…

@RonniSalt I wouldn't say that Albanese has no ambition because it's clear that he is desperate to cling to power and will jettison whatever policies or fuck over whoever he thinks will support that aim.

Question - who is Australia’s best political writer? A few make it; Amy Remiekis, Urban Wronski, a handful of others. Right up there at the top for me is Sean Kelly, who’s written a searching, thoughtful and almost troubled analysis of the current Albanese govt in the current #QuarterlyEssay. Some may be concerned as I was, with the lack of women in the piece, whether that be politicians or philosophers or even, novelists. Most of the voices, citations and quotes in this piece are from men. That aside, it’s more an analysis of Albanese himself than his government, written from the perspective of a man who’s read the label from both inside and outside the bottle, (Kelly is a former Rudd/Gillard staffer). It's this intimate familiarity with the subject that gives the article two things – its layered, philosophical insights, as well as the sense that Kelly is unwittingly holding back on giving Albanese and his govt the torching they truly deserve. But layered nuance and not bold bluster is what Kelly does best. Kelly paints a picture of Albanese as a man trapped by his own certainty of an uncertain world; scared to govern, scared to confront, scared to lead, scared to move on anything that may upset those with the greatest assets of all - money and power. The Albanese of Kelly’s essay comes across as a paranoid political player whose entire adult life has been spent chasing power, and now that he has it, is too scared to lose it. Be careful what you wish for, especially if you do nothing with it when you get it. The Albanese of this article knows how to manage, but not how to govern. To manage is easy. To lead - now that’s the hard part. A lack of women’s voices notwithstanding, this is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in politics and contemporary Australia. 👇🏽 quarterlyessay.com.au/essay/2025/11/…

@RonniSalt this is also what stood out to me. The appeal judges were unequivocal with regard to their view that rape occurred

As always, the truth takes a while to catch up. The appeal judges found Wilkinson acted properly in terms of the extensive inquiries she made and the information she relied on. LW always acted appropriately. The judges disagreed with Justice Lee who had asserted the opposite.

The judgment in the Bruce Lehrmann appeal to the Federal Court has a few points that really stick out - apart from the fact the appeal judges agreed that Lehrmann's story was a total fabrication. @Lisa_Wilkinson was found to have been poorly done by in the original judgment.

@ParamountPlusAU @MelbourneCity Maybe you could make the replay available after the game finishes. That would be nice

i know it didnt prevent a score in the end but why was there no penalty for an apparently deliberate handball before the first Adelaide goal? #ADLvMCY

for those of you who don't watch A-League, Patty Beach does this sort of stuff for fun #Socceroos #VENvAUS

#VENvAUS #Socceroos Another game of having to endure the hot garbage that is the @ParamountPlusAU UI. "Rewind and fast-forward are currently disabled". Why? Who knows? And please don't tell me to reinstall this piece of crap again. I have done it literally dozens of times

@icemavv @chaser True, I was thinking more of extra-curricular activities but if we are using art alone I would still sub out Donatello for Massaccio

@Ange_Cat @chaser no because the point is that it's the big four renaissance masters. caravaggio is baroque and it would've ruined it.

"They asked about his mastery of the craft, so I assumed they meant nunchucks."

@WariorFanAkumpo @georgieparker yeah they don't roll around for 5 minutes after being touched like the blokes do. But hang on you said a "man's game" so the game you must be referring to is blowing misogynistic shit out of your dumb arse. So yeah you're right. Have a blessed day

@georgieparker Woman aren’t built for a man’s game unfortunately

Hate this.

@Tim_jbo for those illiterate morons among you (and god there are so many) the sign says this is a meeting of the US and Asean. So just to break this down, this means that the meeting is with...the US and all the Asean member countries! Signs and words are amazing! Have a blessed day all.

Oh dear, they forgot to tell Albo?

@RonniSalt just as well he didn't wear a Spandau Ballet t-shirt!

It's a pretty pathetic sign of how desperate Sussan Ley is - plumbing the depths of her handbag looking for inspiration - that she's clutching her plastic bangles about a 70's pop group on a t-shirt Next week - Sussan gives Australia a forceful lecture on Albo's racist socks .

Has Jillian Segal come out in support of her boss, Anthony Albanese yet? This would be the time for her to say something. Of course that's only if her actual boss - Israel - gives her the all clear. #pfffft
