#WomensSafetySummit I think that it is only appropriate to post a version of this today: youtube.com/watch?v=aB7r6h… It helps me cope with my anger.

Liberal branch stacking is no business of ⁦@nswicac⁩ says Murdoch hack James Campbell. It’s not illegal. Nothing to see here then? Pathetic. It’s ok for ideological or vested interests to infiltrate our political parties in the grasp for power .. which they can then abuse?

Here's what the LNP didn't want you to know, but made headlines instead.

‘Political insiders who speak regularly to Joyce say he is growing increasingly frustrated & uncomfortable as he’s forced to confront One Nation’s more extreme elements, incl the conspiratorial views of Qld senator Malcolm Roberts.’ Bad luck, Barnaby. theguardian.com/australia-news…

BREAKING: "F*ck his sons, f*ck his daughter!" Hunter Biden unleashes an anti-Trump family rant for the ages and we loved every single second of it! This is what we've been dying for Democrats to say... "As it relates to Donald Trump, fuck him, fuck his sons, fuck his daughter. I mean it, all of them, the whole family, down to the grandchildren," said Hunter. "I hope for the rest of time that I am on this earth that their names will live in ignominy. " "And so and by the way, here's the thing, like, 'Oh, this is going to get clipped, and this is going to be the thing.' And you know, you go out there, but let me just tell you something.... What would you expect me to say?" he asked. "What would you expect me to say about a man that treats my father that way, publicly?" "What would you expect me to say about a man that treats my mother that way, that treats my sister that way? They stole her fucking diary and published it, said my dad is a pedophile!" he continued. "They were involved in that directly." "What would you expect me to say about a group of people that have the capacity and the capability to do that?" asked Hunter. "They may think, oh, all is fair in love and war and politics, and you know, like, you know, well, this is how you get power." "Well, you know what? Fuck them, and fuck that! They have done the most awful things to my family, and to me personally. Forget about me, though. I can take it," he concluded. God, but isn't this refreshing? We are so used to our politicians sanitizing their language when talking about Trump, an adjudicated rapist, actual pedophile, and war criminal. Hunter is no politician though, he's just a righteously enraged American putting all of our thoughts and feelings into words. And you know what? Sometimes a little profanity is appropriate. Republicans threw every smear in the book at President Biden and his family, ranting about their "crime family." Now, we have an actual crime family in the White House looting everything that isn't nailed down, and it's crickets from conservatives. So yes, it's time to drop the civility act and hit these crooks with everything we've got. And then, when we retake power, Democrats need to launch the most sweeping criminal investigation in history into Trump and his crooked family. Track down every last embezzled dollar and hit them with prosecutions until their eyes water. LOCK. THEM. UP. Please ❤️ and share if you support prosecuting Trump's entire family!

Nothing to celebrate in the third summer of genocide. Too many lives lost, many more devastated. And it continues. We must persevere. Stop the Genocide. End Occupation. End Apartheid.

Australia is deploying firefighting assets and teams, including a CH-47D Chinook helicopter and a Bell 412 reconnaissance and support aircraft, to support the response to devastating wildfires in France. We stand with France, our close and valued friend, in their time of need.

"My first husband stripped me naked and threw me and my daughters out of the house. Neighbours wrapped me in a quilt and my parents took us away. As I hold this gold medal in Glasgow, my message to every woman in India is to fight back against abuse." indiatoday.in/sports/commonw…

THE TRUTH: Dr. Anthony Fauci led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 40 years. Throughout those decades, he had an impeccable record of integrity, which is why he was trusted by both Democratic and Republican administrations. He is largely credited (along with activists) with the development of life-saving AIDS treatments. It wasn't until he refused to say and do what Donald Trump wanted that he was suddenly accused of being corrupt, a liar, a fraud, etc. If you think he's one of the bad guys, you've fallen for the con. ~Via Adam Sank.

UNSHAKABLE 🔥 Dr. Fauci was up early this morning — working off the steam coming out of Republicans’ ears during yesterday’s Senate hearing 💪🏾 It’s pretty incredible: Fauci is 85 — five years OLDER than Trump — and still able to go on a 4 mile power walk EVERY SINGLE DAY

A gallant man whom we should all respect.

“In Australia, we subsidize the fossil fuel industry, and we charge our kids a fortune to go to uni.” - Australia Institute co-CEO Richard Denniss. Join the call for a national plebiscite to introduce a 25% gas export tax: …-plebiscite.australiainstitute.org.au

The Gianni Infantino plan to exploit commercial rights to the World Cup is a coup organised from within, executed by stealth. And any Federation or President that supports this has no place representing the game. The future of the World Cup and the integrity of the game are not for sale — and they are certainly not to be stolen in a case of very common thievery.

CONGRATULATIONS TO TRUMP ON CROSSING 65% DISAPPROVAL. MANY SAY IT'S THE BEST DISAPPROVAL THEY'VE EVER SEEN. NO ONE THOUGHT HE COULD DO IT. BUT I BELIEVED IN HIM. PEOPLE BEG ME TO TELL THEM TRUMP'S SECRET. I SAY, I'M SORRY, YOU CAN'T LEARN TO BE HATED, YOU HAVE TO BE BORN WITH IT.

It has been curious as to why Queensland Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie has been so obsessed with the Games 2032 rowing being held on the Fitzroy River, Rockhampton. Now we learn Gina Rinehart was behind the lobbying for it. #qldpol theguardian.com/australia-news…

It’s literally not rained for a month in southern England, and the Westminster press corps just spent weeks saying Ed Miliband is bad because he takes climate change seriously. We are almost certainly in the foothills of really significant changes to everyday life.

WA2025 election Legislative Council support for One Nation by lower house district. Of interest for the Secret Harbour by-election. Baldivis, Secret Harbour and Mandurah are neighbouring seats.

It’s impressive how consistently One Nation fails at the absolute basics. Donation disclosures. Accounts. Compliance. Every routine administrative task seems to become an ordeal. Which explains the lack of policies, shit candidate vetting and Pauline not turning up to work.

@bobjcarr @gregjamesbarton @bobjcarr can we stop using the word “settlers” which we’ve unconsciously slipped into & which legitimises their claims? They are illegal invaders.

We should get that alert on our phone when a state premier or Prime Minister get rolled by their own party. #AusAlert
