@Paul8MuJ @HarryGooding7 @RepBrianMast He’s also the King of Australia, New Zealand, PNG, Canada and several more. So why only include Scotland, Wales and NI?

@HarryGooding7 @RepBrianMast I know what you’re saying but equally he is king of Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland so it’s disrespectful to just say he only rules England when he doesn’t.

An American soldier & the King of England, shaking hands in the U.S. Capitol building. A lot can change in 250 years.

@whitfieldlewis6 @drkeithsiau One of those is coke no sugar you can see it on the label.

@drkeithsiau I see more coke than Diet Coke.

These Australian endoscopists need to be stopped 😅

@F111Driver @OnDisasters Is Mal Hurman in that photo?

@OnDisasters Shorty far right.

OTD in 1999: a Royal Australian Air Force F-111 [A8-291] crashes in Johor (Malaysia). The 2 crew die, Sqn. Ldr. Steve Hobbs and Flt. Lt. Anthony Short. Jet was taking part in exercises when it hit a peak on Pulau Aur island, 40 mi east of Mersing, in the South China Sea. More info below ⬇️ 🧵

@connorp864 @Jeff20491232 @MercuriusFilius I don’t agree, because the original Monty problem the game show host knows which door to open- so we can therefore assume they picked the goat, changing the odds to 2/3. This is a random, sealed and blank envelope. So unless the interviewer knew their envelope the odds change

@Jeff20491232 @MercuriusFilius Sure, but without knowing what they know, my odds still work

How would you answer this common Goldman Sachs interview question?

@VoteLewko I put LPG in at 19.9c/L in around 2004. ULP was 56.6c/L in 2000

Only 90s kids will get it.

@lesstenny The key is the car. It’s a giveaway.

Look at all those parking spots inside the Noosa national park gates.. What year do you reckon folks ?

@Tony_Diver I used to be a staffer 20 years ago. It is done on every. Single. Letter. Personally signed. On all sides. Although I cringe at saying “PM Starner” it should be “Dear Sir Keir”

Nice diplomatic affectation to cross out the typed formal title and add his first name to show they are pals

@TheLucyShow1 Total fabrication. Unless despite being born 25 years ago his mothers hospital bed had modern syringe pumps and beds

@wheelreinvent Not applying your handbrake, even if on level ground and the car is in park

What is the most busybody law in Australia? - Most minor - Most victimless - Harshest punishment I always thought it was bicycle helmet laws, but the $1251 fine for holding (not using, holding) a mobile phone on a bike in Queensland takes the cake. Are there any even worse?

@HandsomeHCP @ClassicSpyChic He’s not dead. He’s just going to have amnesia. Same as in the book “you only live twice”

Technically, THIS Bond is dead. So a spinoff like this would have to be a helluva spin to work. Even then...

Would you watch a spinoff series where Commander Bond reports for his naval reserve duties and has to work mundane military tasks with an eccentric cast of supporting characters?

@johngoddard You haven’t visited a Home Owners Association (HoA) clearly 😂

Travelling to America as an Australian is terrifying. Because living in Australia, we're sheltered. We're far from the rest of the world. Our State Sponsored Media tells you that Australia has the best of everything in the world. That our culture and lifestyle is unmatched. But as soon as you arrive in America it is blindingly obvious how false that is. America feels explosive, alive, chaotic, rich. It's loud, obnoxious, unapologetic. There's no hint of tall poppy syndrome. And no constant nagging of the Nanny State. America is accelerating into an unknown future without fear. There are so many technological innovations here that would never see the light of day in Australia, because they would be strangled by regulation. Australia is beautiful, sure. But it's safe, quiet, controlled. Media and society tell you to conform, comply, be seen and not heard. Take the safe option. Be fearful of new things. Be fearful of the future. The spark of innovation is stifled. The light of creativity is discouraged. The warmth of the collective is more important than the rugged individual. And as time goes on, one of the two countries is going to be left behind. It's pretty clear which country that is. So, it's terrifying. And before I came here, everyone said I should be terrified of America. That I wouldn't be let it the country. That everyone is rioting. That Hitler runs the country. That couldn't be further from the truth. Their brains have been absolutely fried by Australian State Sponsored media.

@peteryates1968 @SandyofCthulhu Carriers are the flex they once were. Ukraine has shown the importance of drones and UAVs. And our LHDs are heavier than the Italian carriers and only 14m shorter, so pretty comparable.

@SandyofCthulhu australia retired its last carrier in 1983 the promise was that we would build new carriers to protect our 8.1 million sqkm eez it never eventuated, we are 4th world nation

The Italian navy built a carrier in 1983, and designed it with a ski jump deck so Harrier jets could take off. The Italian air force invoked a law from 1937 (Mussolini’s era) that stated fixed wing aircraft couldn’t be on carriers so for 6 years the carrier floated around with a useless ski jump, hosting only helicopters. Finally in 1989 the law changed and now Italy has two carriers both of which can operate F-35s.

@Zvcc19 @coolestdudeva My RSL the lights go dim, and everything stops to recite the ode. A PA announces everyone please stand. IVA had this at multiple RSLs

@coolestdudeva Hat off yeah but I've never been asked to stand at all? This is a lie

In Australia at RSLs they make you take your hat off and stand every hour out of respect for returned service people while same returned service people lose their pension on their gambling machines

@allanholloway @John4bricknell @wars The constitution is pretty clear the President is a civilian

@John4bricknell @wars That would be the argument but as President Reagan was head of all 3 branches of the Armed Services.

Brigadier General James Stewart holds the distinction of being the highest-ranking actor in U.S. military history.

@AnthonyPHoran @colonelhogans He doesn’t use Comcar in his electorate, he uses his government issued Landcruiser

@colonelhogans This comparison is nonsense. Bob Katter’s electorate is more than twice the size of Victoria. Whoever is the MP for his electorate is going to have high Comcar claims.

Anika Wells comes in at 34th out of all MP’s who’ve claimed family assistance. That’s a long way from the top. Bob Katter in number one for exceedingly the $1,000 threshold for COMCARS. Which is exceeding $1,000 per COMCAR trip.

@Bjorn_String @MerruX @PeteHegseth Not while remaining a sitting Senator

@MerruX @PeteHegseth ALL officers are subject to recall...stop being lazy. Retired officers remain subject to UCMJ; SEC of Navy can recall them to active duty for courts-martial or other disciplinary proceedings.

So “Captain” Kelly, not only did your sedition video intentionally undercut good order & discipline…but you can’t even display your uniform correctly. Your medals are out of order & rows reversed. When/if you are recalled to active duty, it’ll start with a uniform inspection.

@JoshButler Wait till you find out what their parliamentary allowance for dinner is 😝

Pauline Hanson cooking wagyu steak on her office sandwich press (for her dinner with Barnaby Joyce) is a new entrant to the Helen Polley school of parliamentary culinary innovation

@charlesnow97812 @feastonapriest @ausvstheagenda

@feastonapriest @ausvstheagenda rubbish. that figure is even higher than the annual spend per senator.

Australia’s youngest Senator, Charlotte Walker, 21, has claimed more than $78,000 in expenses during her first three months in Parliament.

@muststaycalm Point being the technology of yesterday is needed to create the technology of tomorrow. In 1915 horses w/ more reliable than cars. Limited roads, limited infrastructure (fuel stations), limited mechanics and parts. History is made of the doers, not the “keep it as it is”

@BenP_AUS Hey Ben, love the horse-road analogy, it’s a classic… but it kinda falls apart when you zoom in a bit

🇦🇺 The ‘green’ saviours have arrived! Massive wind turbines shipped all the way from China on a fossil-fueled behemoth, belching out thousands of tonnes of CO2 just to get to Brisbane Because nothing says ‘saving the environment’ like burning bunker fuel to transport eco-toys that might offset those emissions…in 10 or 20 years after manufacture, transport, installation & maintenance of the turbines & transmission lines Meanwhile, Australia’s landscape gets cluttered with bird-choppers made in polluting Chinese factories powered by Australian coal we dig up & ship overseas that is sold to the user for a third of the cost Australian domestic users now pay for energy Australia is governed by the rapacious, the ideologically captured & useful idiots for net zero that don’t care about the cost of “renewables” to the people, the environment & the economy Once the lucky country, Australia’s luck has run out
