@vision_iii @newscomauHQ Human activity harming the environment gave us covid. It was inevitable. Where it happened was a matter of luck. This from before the Covid, predicting the next pandemic. nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…

@dickandcomix @meowlentine So you’re saying he’s advocating for a system from which he would not personally benefit, but understands it’s the right thing to do for the benefit of greater society?

@meowlentine To point out that the guy pushing anti-capitalism is a total fraud....but you already knew that. You're doing it...you're doing the meme

Hasan Piker was literally a fat little rich kid with a pony. Now he makes a fortune selling "eat the rich" to nepo commie kids, lmao

@mccrap007 @aaronsmith If we are attacked, it will be BECAUSE of the US and our relationship with them (either by the military bases here or provoking proxy war with China). More likely US would attack us than China anyways

@aaronsmith just curious, if australia were to be attacked. should the USA come to help us.

Donald Trump says he is not very happy with Australia. I think I speak for many Australians when I say, who gives a shit?

@SenatorWong @QuentinDempster Name the perpetrator, Penny!

The conflict in Lebanon is contributing to a humanitarian crisis. As UN Security Council members meet today to discuss the protection of UN and Humanitarian Personnel, Australia and partners call for international humanitarian law to be respected, and aid workers to be protected.

@ClareONeilMP Why? What are you doing differently to them? Have we ended negative gearing?

One Nation.  The Liberals.  The Nationals.  Three right-wing parties. They say they’re different.  But on housing, they all look the same to me

@JEChalmers I used to work in print media distribution. When newsagents had their deliveries stolen, I’d ask if they had a secure delivery location and they’d say “nuh, but there is CCTV”. I’d respond “that just lets you watch the crime happen after the fact, it doesn’t prevent it”.

Really pleased to be delivering more CCTV to help keep our local community safe. The Albanese Labor Government’s latest $800,000 investment in surveillance and safety cameras across Logan City is already making a meaningful difference to the efforts of police and emergency services. Thanks to @MayorJonRaven and his team for the chance to see our funding at work, up close.

@The_Inside_Word @joegibney15 I guess the most obvious fact is that humans choose to run ultra marathons. Are you saying horses are hanging out in the stable being all “yo, I’m so stoked for the race this weekend, going to beat my personal record. It’s just all super meaningful to me”?

@joegibney15 What are your thoughts on humans running ultra marathons etc? When their legs are cramping toward the end. When they piss and shit themselves. Get a grip. That horse is fine albeit a bit tired.

Despicable scenes at Fakenham for those of us who love our horses. The fact that he’s alone is irrelevant - pull him up…

@JEChalmers @QuentinDempster Are you announcing a commuter subsidy for regional Australia so we can afford to get to work (if we can even get fuel)?

Labor won’t cop big fuel corporates and servos treating Australians like mugs.

@DivineFLSam @JodieMarq @raven_starvox @MFWitches @soupsranjan Ew, no. US only provokes aggression. US is the aggression.

@JodieMarq @raven_starvox @MFWitches @soupsranjan Umm, Australia needs US military assistance to prevent aggression in the north, does it not?

I am a proud US citizen and founder of a successful startup that employs 94 employees in the US and 180+ employees globally. I was in Dubai on a business trip meeting with financial institutions to help them fight financial fraud in the region, but now I am stranded. I expected the @usgov to do something to get US citizens out but I haven't seen any meaningful action. After 4 days of adrenalin and constant fear, I feel demoralised and abandoned by our government. It’s difficult watching other countries – UK, Israel, Spain, Italy and India – repatriate their citizens or ensure that commercial flights continue operating to bring them home. I became a naturalized US citizen because I believe in the American dream, and the idea that in a crisis, America never leaves its citizens behind. I see that American dream being shattered not just for me, but for tens of thousands of other Americans left stranded. I have 3 requests of our government: 1. Can the @usgov ensure the commercial airlines don't cancel US bound flights? I've booked a dozen flights to leave Dubai and ALL of them got canceled, even as flights to other countries continue operating. 2. If that is not possible, can the USG organize planes, commercial or military, to evacuate Americans out of Dubai and the surrounding region? I saw a very hopeful note from the Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs which states, “the US State Dept is in touch with 3,000 Americans and that we should call 1-202-501-4444 for assistance with departure options.” But that is unfortunately not accurate. I am enrolled in Step and have only received generic messages. Further, on calling that number, the message you get is: "Please don't rely on the USG for assisted departure or evacuation at this point. There are currently no evacuation flights at this time." 3. With funding cuts to the US consulates and with attacks on US embassies in the region, there’s no one that Americans can reach out to in the broader GCC region. Can we set up an emergency hotline within the US that actually works, and that has someone who is taking down more details? @SecRubio just stated that there are 1500 Americans who have contacted asking for assistance to evacuate. How did they do that because I am completely at a loss on who to call? I called up 1-202-501-4444 and all I got is a generic message. Myself and other Americans need help getting back home.

@DivineFLSam @MFWitches @soupsranjan Easy - racism. But the second question makes no sense unless you think the organisation MFWitches is an Aboriginal person and that whataboutism is a valid debating tactic.

@MFWitches @soupsranjan Okay. Can you explain why the indigenous community in your country has remained in poverty whilst white people have enjoyed economic growth? Is it because the govt could not care less about you?

@usedwifi @ThaiNewsReports Humans used to farm for food,

🚨 Thai police have reportedly busted an illegal Tate McRae streaming farm. (📸 @ThaiNewsReports )

@corybernardi Wait, this guy is still around?! I thought he’d long gone. Well guess that’s how relevant he is. Wow, what a moron.

Seems crazy that in an English-speaking country the government keeps coming up with place and street names most people can’t pronounce. One Nation will preserve traditional names linked to our shared history and restore them where necessary. This silliness needs to stop.

@NauseamAdz Why does this set and graphics look so Sky News?

Contravening the ABC’s legislated charter, PK heaps praise on Angus Taylor with such unconstrained bias you’d think the theft of $80 million of water buybacks had never existed — as though there were no serious questions at the time, no public outrage, no cloud hanging over his record at all. The selective amnesia is breathtaking. If an incoming Labor opposition leader had’ve nicked a packet of chewing gum in his youth, PK would be merciless. There’d be moral lectures about integrity, grave reflections on “character,” and insinuations about whether someone capable of petty theft could ever be trusted with public office. The outrage would be theatrical and relentless. But when it’s a conservative figure dogged by controversy after he stole $80 million? Suddenly it’s soft lighting and glowing endorsements. The double standard isn’t subtle — it’s shameless. As a media representative of the ABC, she has a clear obligation under its charter to uphold impartiality and fairness. Instead, what we’re seeing looks far more like advocacy than journalism. Taxpayers fund the ABC on the understanding that it serves the public, not political favourites. When one of its high-profile journalists appears to abandon neutrality in favour of partisan cheerleading, it erodes trust in the entire institution. She’s abusing her power as a media representative of the ABC. That’s a crime, and it warrants a custodial sentence.

@hasanthehun @BJafari Apparently this is a 15 year old kid too.

the entire western world has dropped all notion that they care about “liberal humanitarian values” over protecting israel’s genocide and apartheid. hopefully this is eye opening for those who couldn’t see it for decades

@JJKALE2 I’m actually amazed that businesses aren’t taking action against this too, given he has shut down the cbd and told workers to stay home.

Minns gives police additional power to keep "protesters" away from "mourners" "We can't allow mourners & protesters in close proximity that risks conflict, violence or public disorder” ☑️"Mourners" = Israel supporters, full access. ❌"Protesters" = against genocide, locked out

This new report from @ACOSS shows just how cooked 🇦🇺’s housing system is with the govt spending billions $$ more on tax concessions for investors than they do on social housing, homelessness services & rent assistance. I’ve had the parliamentary budget office model some really sensible changes to cap some of these concessions & continue to call for the govt to start treating housing as a human right. theguardian.com/australia-news…

@THEDALE_ @Marin_0x Even if they were the case, I will never understand why Americans think it’s reasonable to kill someone for that.

@Marin_0x Maybe we cut his gate and we were driving on his property

Anyone have the full story here? We know this happened today 1/14 in the Vail Lake area just outside Temecula, California. Seems like someone was riding on private property and a land owner didn’t like it?? Sounds like shots are fired and hit the cage even. Pretty crazy and just a reminder this stuff can happen even in California! Let us know if you have more details!

@BasedDeptGnrl @nexta_tv Yes…they bite… healthline.com/health/blue-ri…

@nexta_tv > bite lmao

Pure recklessness and bravado A British man was vacationing in the Philippines. On the beach, he found a “cute little octopus,” picked it up, and calmly filmed a video. He didn’t realize that he was holding a blue-ringed octopus — one of the most venomous creatures on the planet. Its venom causes muscle paralysis and respiratory failure. It is about 1,000 times more toxic than cyanide, and there is no antidote. One bite — and a person can die within minutes. The realization came later, when commenters began flooding in, telling him he had been holding near-certain death in his hands.

@TheOfficerTatum Not sure what the deal is with these small dick accounts that keep lying about female police. These women face things these little pricks could never handle.

🚨: #UPDATE: One of the survivors of the terror attack at a Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration said four police officers just “froze” during the 20-minute rampage on December 14 that killed 15.

@Jeff4theclimate @DavidShoebridge @maurbug52 You’re right, this is exactly like the LNP. Two cheeks of the same butthole.

@DavidShoebridge @maurbug52

A communications minister touring the world and boasting about a social media ban (that isn’t even in place yet!) instead of working with families and young people to deal with its impacts, is plain wrong. Young Australians deserve far better.

@jusmoiau @DavidShoebridge @aaronsmith You’re right, why should we expect Labor to be any better. If anything, they have shown us they have no intention of being better than LNP. You’re right - this is totally fine. Nothing to improve here at all. Better things aren’t possible.

@DavidShoebridge @aaronsmith The single $3k trip pales in comparison with Reynolds, Payman & Jacinta Price. Isn't family travel for reunion? Taxpayers paid for Reynolds' partner to have short staycays (without Reynolds) in Melbourne enroute to Canberra to arrive same day as Reynolds.
