Perhaps the Israeli ambassador could be questioned about this at the Canberra press club tomorrow, no ? It would be a start… abc.net.au/news/2026-03-3…

@Ostrov_A 1. You started this 2. Look what you did in Gaza 3. No one has sympathy for you because we have seen who you really are, refer points 1 and 2

🔴 At 02am, Iran rains down missiles with cluster bombs at central Israel. Over a million civilians in line of fire!

@FranMooMoo Do you know the meaning of the phrase- "There's no such thing as a free lunch" or "You scratch my nack and I'll scratch yours"?

Pauline Hanson was questioned again about flights. She's actually saving the taxpayers money and has declared everything but the far left media hacks just can't help themselves. As an aside, I doubt she'll ever receive as many free flights as the yes campaign did for their stupid voice to parliament failure.

@MiaForTrump A turnip would be better than Trump

Who else agrees AOC would, without a doubt, be a better president than Trump?

The breathtaking hypocrisy of this is off the charts. Trump’s ex-wife was killed too. But not by ISIS. She fell down the stairs at home. The day before she was to testify to his malfeasance. He buried her on his golf course. He was no longer with her at the time. He’d left her to shack up with his pregnant girlfriend. Who was donated to him by Jeffrey Epstein. When SHE gave birth he was sleeping with a Porn Star. But hey, Joe Kent remarried four and a half years after Isis killed the mother of his kids that he’d been raising alone…

@Christie_Whelan The potential for this to be terrible is stressful because there is little we can do to soften the impact.

Mortgage prices up, petrol prices up, grocery prices up. How is everyone coping?

BREAKING! Spain’s MEP Irene Montero: “Send your son, Trump, if you want war. Send your own people to the front line. We [in Spain] want our children, our daughters, our loved ones at home — safe. We don’t want war. Those who want war should send their own children.”

@AlboMP Who's a good boy then? Sit. Stay. Okay, it's time for your Aukus treat from Donald - up, up. No, don't beg. Up you go. Now wag your tail for Bibi, that's it. Now, jump when he tells you. Don't lick him. That's it - such a good boy. x.com/AlboMP/status/…

Absolute class from Bedford Borough Council. @BedfordTweets 👏🏽 😂

It annoys me that so many people are under the impression that this guy, Steven Bradbury, is some subpar goober who lucked his way into gold. That could not be further from the truth. This is one of the most satisfying victories in the history of the Olympics if you know the full backstory. This medal final was during his fourth Olympics, in Salt Lake City in 2002. Earlier in his career, he was among the best athletes in the world in this specific event, the 1000 meter short-track men's speed skate. But despite his talent, he just had some of the shittiest luck in the sport. We're talking a decade of shit luck. In the '94 Winter Olympics, he was considered the odds-on favorite to take gold, but he fell in his heat after getting illegally pushed by an opponent (who was later disqualified). He didn't get a re-do. That was it. He got shoved by some asshole, and his Olympics was over. Then in the '98 Winter Olympics, he was a favorite to at least medal in the same event but got caught up in a collision that wasn't his fault and failed to advance. In 1994, he got his thigh sliced open by a competitor's skate during a race, which required 111 stitches and 18 months of recovery time. In 2000, he broke his neck during training because a skater in front of him fell and tripped him up. That required a bunch of screws and plates being inserted into his skull and back and chest. And doctors told him that he should stop skating. But he didn't wanna give up. It meant too much to him. So, there he was in Salt Lake City in 2002, past his prime, a walking erector set, going up against opponents who were faster and younger and in their prime. He manages to win his heat and advance to the quarterfinal but then has the shit luck (yet again) of having to go up against the best two athletes in the quarterfinal and only the top two advance. He finishes third and thinks: "Damn, I gave it my best shot." But then, the second place finisher is disqualified, so Bradbury gets to advance to the semifinal. Now, at this point, he's thinking: Well, shit, I'm not as fast as these younger guys, and I got a bad habit of getting taken out by crashes that aren't my fault. So, he consults with the Australian national coach, Ann Zhang, and they decide that he should hang back from the pack and hope the pack crashes. That is a perfectly valid strategy. If you crash, you lose, but speed skaters risk crashing to gain an advantage in order to win. It may not feel exciting, but it is a valid strategy and just as risky: avoid crashes entirely and hope that pays off. It paid off in the semifinal: the pack, including the defending Olympic champion, jostled too much and crashed. Bradbury wins and advances. So, he's improbably in the final and takes the same approach, and it works: the entire pack jostles too much and crashes, and Bradbury's risk of hanging back pays off. This victory was not some un-athletic schlub lucking his way into gold. It was a journeyman athlete who never gave up and played smart after a career of shitty luck and finally got his due after it being snatched away from him so many times. Hands down, one of my favorite Olympics stories.

@jason_king72 @NijinskyCB @AaronDodd Considering the size of the mining sector that is not the achievement you make it sounds like. They should pay considerably more. What are they going to do - leave it in the ground? Our ground and our national resources.

@NijinskyCB @AaronDodd The resources sector pays more corporate tax than every other sector combined.

Australians back hit to capital gains and negative gearing to pay for tax cuts #auspol theage.com.au/politics/feder…

@CrazyVibes_1 Pretty sure that wasn't a Lady

Lady sat opposite me for 2 hours on the train, ate sushi and had a can. As she's leaving, she left all her rubbish to the side of the table next to my can. How the conversation went: Me: Don't forget to take your rubbish with you. Her: she gestured her hands were full and said "I don't have any room to carry it." Me: "You could have put it in the bin before you got off?" Her: "I don't know where the bins are." Me: "they're by the end of each carriage and along the carriage, you.. you could have put it in before you were due to get off?" Her: Oh... Me: So, you're just going to leave it there? Her: Yeah 😐 TL:DR I hate people.

@Horror1403 Hard to take you seriously when you won't criticise Israel for killing an estimated 680,000 Gazans. And those that remain live in an open air prison.

Remember her name. She called for the murder of Jews

@Peter_Fitz They are trying to change jockey on a dead horse at this point

I am on the conservative side of politics. The person I think is the best chance to resuscitate the Libs is:

Bravo!!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@DrDavidAdler1 Are you going after families now! Oh. Yeah. Never mind it's been the MO for a while now.

NOT A GOOD LOOK FOR THE ROYAL COMMISSION INTO ANTISEMITISM How can it properly investigate the role of the extremist Hamas supporters and incitement generated by the aggressive pro-Palestinian activism when there's this link in the family?

@Madelaine_Burke Looks like there was space for 2 four letter words and they chose those words based on the scrabble tiles they drew. Could have been offensive 4 letter words but these seem hopeful and aspirational.

Police statement; Police are investigating after graffiti was located in Richmond on 28 January.  It is understood offenders graffitied on the windows of a business on Hoddle Street.  There is absolutely no place at all in our society for hate-based behaviour. No arrests have been made at this stage and the investigation is ongoing.

Hmm. That didn’t work out so well at Nüremberg….

@jmil400 @gtconway3d He makes Morrison look competent. Which is almost impossible to type!

@gtconway3d He honestly must be the most useless national leader in the history of humanity.
