"He fought for us." A civil court found he machine-gunned an unarmed man with a prosthetic leg. The party that printed this sign is funded by Gina Rinehart, and led by Pauline Hanson who knowingly hired a convicted rapist. There is no bottom.

@Xeneize_gonza_ @amazingmap Each state of Australia has labour day on a different day, although some states overlap.

@amazingmap USA and Canadá celébrate labor day in September. And how about Australia?

Countries where May 1st is a public holiday

@Patrickwebb No shit, Sherlock!

BREAKING: BBC alleges that the Trump admin may be engaging in insider trading.

@colonelhogans @abc730 No, Laura Tingle. Why use a cudgel when you can use a scalpel?

When is Pauline Hanson going to grow some balls and be interviewed by Sarah Henderson on @abc730 ? Answer……NOT A FUCKING HOPE! The gutless old rag only fronts interviews on Sky, RW talkback radio, Nine and Seven breakfast programs as they won’t challenge her. As soon as a journalist challenges her she has a huge sook and cries she’s being picked on. Leader of this country? Yeah…..and I’m Dwayne Johnson…..🤮

How do you know what to believe during the Farrer by-election? Swipe for tips! aec.gov.au/elections/elec…

@chugginloads69 @colonelhogans The person who said that racism is a valid viewpoint just got blocked.

This is hilarious….. The Age, ABC and The Guardian now reporting Victorian Opposition Leader Jess Wilson is in trouble in her own seat of Kew. Wilson’s primary vote has dropped from 44% last election to 36% (losing ~3,600 votes, mainly to One Nation). The VEC’s reported Kew 2CP count was 53.73% for Wilson to Independent @Sophie__Torney’s 46.27%. Torney was subsequently elected local Mayor, and is recontesting the seat of Kew. Torney needs to swing 1,627 voters away from Liberal Wilson’s voting base to win. With 3,600 votes already gone to One Nation, expected preference flows have the seat on a knife-edge. @BrentHodgson

@DaveHawkinsX @davidsenra @tobi The trouble being, of course, that the rich don't share or give away what they can't eat. They horde it, because it's not about lifestyle, it's just a way of keeping score.

@davidsenra @tobi Every time I listen to Bernie Sanders, I think of the pie. He is worried about slicing the pie and distributing the crumbs to everyone. I always ask, why not just bake 10 more pies? Abundance means not having to slice the pie, but instead, share or give away what you can’t eat.

"Capitalism created the possibility of the win win win. It used to be a zero sum game where somebody won, somebody else lost. The biggest mistake people make, intellectuals in particular, they still think we're in a zero sum world. They're obsessed with some billionaires because Bernie Sanders thinks that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk somehow stole the money from the people. They don't understand that it's this prosperity machine that's creating more, not just for those billionaires, but for everything that they're touching. They're creating value for their customers, they're creating value for their employees. Their suppliers are flourishing, their investors are seeing their capital go up. It can be reinvested and compound. All philanthropy ultimately comes from business. That's where the profits are. Where does all the taxes come from? It ultimately comes from business as well. This is the engine that's lifting humanity out. The entrepreneurs are the drivers of that engine. Somebody like Elon Musk, he gets a very, very, very tiny sliver of the value that he creates for the whole world." — @iamjohnmackey

The Army Chief of Staff, a combat veteran with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, asked Pete Hegseth why he was blocking the promotions of two Black officers and two female officers who had earned them. Hegseth refused to answer. Then he fired him. Nine U.S. officials told NBC News that Hegseth has blocked or delayed promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military. Hegseth has now fired or sidelined more than a dozen generals and admirals. He is an out-of-control, unqualified former TV host and nobody in the Republican Party will say a word about it because they don’t want to make Trump angry. nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

I am not always proud of my country or its government. Right now I am. Thank you @AlboMP theguardian.com/business/2026/…

Giving a shit about people is not only the right way a society should function, it's also a more cost effective solution. Providing apartments with support is cheaper than bearing the costs of emergency healthcare and criminal justice services required for individuals living on the streets.

Basically Trump decided to cause chaos, mayhem, death, destruction, disruption, dissension, depletion of resources, & decades of hatred and mistrust from friends and foe in the Middle East and beyond, then walk away while telling the world he expects them to clean up his mess.

Only Labor has stood steadfast against the divisive politics of Hanson, Barnaby Joyce and their growing band of rats and rejects. What is also clear is that only Labor can stop One Nation. Labor puts One Nation last on our how to vote cards. We have been doing so for the entire time they have existed as a political party.

"Electric cars don't work. They need new batteries every 3 years. They can't go off-road," etc. Heard all the old myths this week but I can't tell if they're bot comments to be honest, because such claims are so easily, effortlessly disproven. As a fun example, here are the wheels of the Curiosity rover. It's been driving around the surface of Mars for almost fourteen years now on its original battery with zero warjuice & zero servicing. Just sayin'...

@neld34129 @colonelhogans According to the SA Electoral Commission Libs are leading in Hammond.

@colonelhogans Liar. Suck it up x.com/i/status/20353…

Money, money money…….thats all Pooline Hanson has cared about for 30 years. Done absolutely fuck all for this country. But used taxpayers money to make herself, her cronies and her family wealthy. Latest plan is to get her daughter a six year plus job on the senate. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

@mil22849498 @colonelhogans So, (1) you didn't read the article, and (2) you knew you were on shaky ground so reverted to name calling.

@colonelhogans Show us the proof Pauline is rorting the system. Are you a peodophile because I am noticing the rock spiders are siding with islam and are shit scared of Pauline.

Pauline Hanson is laughing at the Australian taxpayers! All while being totally protected by RW media, the same way they protect Trump. Hanson is rorting the taxpayers for all she can get! theguardian.com/australia-news…

@erloesung @amazingmap If you ignore the fact that Indonesia has the largest Muslim population - 240 million, or 13% of the global Muslim population. 87% of Indonesians are Muslim.

@amazingmap To mix Arabs with Indonesians show how false it is. Indonesians have much more in comon with so called Latin America than with Saudi Arabia....

@GOP Lies. Real wages are falling, costs are climbing, the economy is faltering. The only truth is that it is the Trump effect.

Wages are climbing Costs are falling Our economy is thriving This is the Trump Effect 🔥
