The Beetrooter’s curious assertion in #Nemesis last night that the brain has three quadrants explains pretty much everything about him, really..

This is the face of greed! The Australian Industry Group wants tax cuts to be taken out of the minimum wage. It’s obscene. It’s disgraceful. IT’S EVIL #auspol

Here's a list of Labors achievements in less than 2 years. Does anyone have a comparable list of the LNPs achievements during their 9 year reign of terror that doesn't include making themselves and their rich mates richer?

Former senator Eric Abetz wins pre-selection in Tas. "The 66-year-old was the standout choice among party members..." God help Tasmania if thiis raving fool is their standout choice! #auspol msn.com/en-au/news/aus…

"Victims were sacrificed on the alter of surplus ... and lacked compassion for the vulnerable" Russell Broadbent (Liberal Party) Why aren't Stuart Robert and Morrison in gaol? #Nemesis

Photoshop “automation” my ass. More like misogynistic-interpretation editing. Channel 9 should be ashamed of themselves. The sexualisation of women via the media is one of the many reasons that there are so many issues regarding discrimination, disrespect, sexism, abuse, violence… and worse. Change your fkn attitudes and your narrative. We are fed up. Georgie Purcell: Adobe casts doubt that Photoshop automation was to blame for Nine News editing of her image theguardian.com/media/2024/jan…

47% - like what Labor have done 19% - give even less to those earning over $200k 13% - dump Stage 3 completely 22% - agree with Dutton, keep Stage 3 unchanged. Absolutely brutal poll for the LNP Thanks to @GrogsGamut @GuardianAus

Dutton has pledged he will strip funding from the Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) if he wins the next federal election. If you haven’t got any policies besides opposing changes to the Stage 3 tax cuts - you might as well go the full Abbott and defund the EDO to protect fossil fuel industries forever more. That’s sure to win back those 20-plus seats you need to have any hope of forming government 🙄 If Dutton is lucky, he won’t lose any more seats to teals or independents who are concerned about the environment and the future. As it stands, if this absolute fopdoodling pillock will be lucky to hold onto the seats he has and his leadership. abc.net.au/news/2024-01-3…

With 3 byelections coming up, it doesn’t surprise me that the two federal elections Lib candidates are likely to be males. So much for more women in conservative politics🙄 In Dunkley, Frankston mayor, Lib Nathan Conroy has virtually walked away from his responsibilities as mayor to concentrate on the byelection - which doesn’t bode well for a good work ethic as a federal member. Dunkley has a good margin and an electorate of approximately 80,000 voters who would be better off under Labor’s stage 3 tax changes. If you listen to Dutton - Albo made the changes to appeal to Dunkley 🙄 ….and Dutton’s specifically promo’ing Conroy as ‘coming from humble beginnings, born into housing commission and raised by a working mother’ to appeal to those 80,000 voters. I still think Dutton and CONroy are going to lose. Plus everybody in Victoria hates Dutton. Nominations for Lib preselection of cook are looking good for another mayoral contender, Sutherland Shire Mayor, Carmelo Pesce - millionaire Bentley collector. Cook may have a good margin but all it would take is the right candidate to either win or rend it marginal. The QLD LNP have yet to announce a byelection candidate for Annastacia’s QLD seat of Inala. A safe Labor seat at 28.2% …. So good fkn luck.

One of our best journalists Katharine Murphy who has unrivaled integrity & intellect quits her media role to work for Labor because she knows Labor can make a really positive difference to this country and how critically important it is to keep the corrupt Noalition out. #auspol

Interviewer “ What would you say to the people whose lives were affected by #Robodebt ?” #ScottMorrison SMIRKS “ If illegal, it would never have been taken forward.” It was government policy. ‘Tony made me do it .’

Brilliant appointment. A man of talent and the utmost integrity. In a sane world he would have been a great Labor prime minister.

Who does Pauline Hanson think should get a tax cut? Hint: Not you.

Here’s a reminder of some Barnaby Joyce gold

Never forget that this convenient Christian saw Robodebt,primarily,as an ideological tool to demonise and punish society’s most financially vulnerable. Just like the asylum seekers he so callously turned back, Morrison dehumanised them to suit his own twisted narrative #nemisis

CHANNEL 9 has confessed to pervy visual edits of a female Victorian MP, but has stopped short of taking responsibility — instead pointing the finger at Photoshop in a bizarre and desperate cop out. But now Adobe has stepped in, debunking the claim by Nine's PR team.

I’ve stirred up an Incel hornet nest 😂😂 At least they’ve outed themselves. Go forth and block.

Suss-an Ley… “We are going to roll back Labor’s changes to the stage 3 tax cuts if elected”…. ..also Sussan .. “ I didn’t say we were going to roll back the stage 3 tax cuts”…. Sussan again … “We are looking at the stage 3 tax cuts.. we have to go through the fine print before we vote on it… because you can’t trust Labor”… .. and the final word to Sussan .. “The tax cut doesn’t come into effect for another 155 days… but people need help NOW..” 🙄 FFS, Sussan .. it was the Coalition government’s stage 3 tax cuts that were legislated to come in at precisely that time. Sussan’s confected outrage and confusion regarding where the coalition are at with any decisions and policies is working well….. .. for Labor.

Morrison set Stage 3 cuts to hopefully wedge incoming Albo govt. But the wedge has now been reversed.

While Dutton continues to spot-fire division, it’s quite clear that his inflammatory comments to “boycott Woolworths” have had a flow-on effect to Woolworths staff in many different locations. According to Woolworths (and Crikey), acts of violence in Woolworths stores have increased by 50% in the last couple of weeks ‘since people became aware of Woolworths decisions’ not to stock Australia Day merchandise. Several stores in Queensland were also vandalised - which does not surprise me at all in hillbilly-and-Dutton central. It’s interesting to note that Kmart and Aldi also said that they would not be selling Australia Day merchandise - but only Woolworths appear to have suffered the brunt of the angst. Was this in direct response to Dutton’s “boycott” comments? Of course, Vlad has completely skirted around the issue of his likely gaslighting of violence and vitriol - and got stuck into Woolworths with regard to bringing their prices down… because suddenly it’s about price gouging for the leftovers. An issue that they have literally ignored while they were in government and for the entire duration of Vlad’s leadership - until now. Redirection, much? 🙄 The issue for me is that the gaslighting of Woolworths WAS ultimately about people… People who work at Woolworths, people who don’t deserve to be harassed, abused, threatened and targeted have been caught up completely in this unbelievable hatred triggered by Vlad and his sycophantic media. People who are on the frontline and are accosted by shoppers already struggling and stressed out about the price rises of their groceries. Staff don’t need to also be challenged by pumped-up, flag-flogging fwits angry because they can’t get their Chinese-made Aussie merch in the store anymore. It is clear to me that Vlad does NOT care about these people, these workers - and the consequences of his actions at all. He’s just in it for the benefit that division and chaos bring him. Which - as far as popularity goes - so far is sweet FA of jacksh*t nothing. In Woolworth’s defence, it was all about the bottom line - and Chinese Australia Day merch was in a downward trend in profitability. It’ll all die down again until the next triggering - which will likely be the ACCC investigation in price gouging. One wonders who Vlad’s next target will be as he pops from one foghorn to another to let us know he’s not happy and that “Labor are liars” 🙄 I can see a “cost of living” and “people doing it tough” mantra coming on. Pity Vlad didn’t feel that way about the low-income front-line workers at Woolworths. 🙄
