Whenever the Liberals attack @AlboMP for the shortage of fuel, remember this: when Labor lost in 2013 we had 7 refineries. Over the life of the Liberal government (2013 to 2022) 5 were closed, leaving just 2. Breathtaking hypocrisy by @AngusTaylorMP and the Coalition.

10 April 2015. Richie Benaud died (aged 84). After retiring from playing cricket for Australia in 1964, he became a leading TV cricket commentator, working for the BBC and Channel 4. In Australia, he commentated for the 9 Network.

People are expressing outrage about how Ben Roberts-Smith was arrested, saying it was too public. He was arrested with no cuffs, not a hand on him, despite facing allegations of war crimes.
I can’t help but think of the young Aboriginal boy wrongly arrested at gunpoint by the AFP on a Canberra bus.
A boy who was wrongly identified, profiled because he was Aboriginal, searched even after police realised they had the wrong person.
An innocent child, just trying to get home – publicly humiliated, a gun drawn on him.
Where was the outrage then?
Where has it been for the hundreds of Black and brown people who don’t survive police arrests, who die at their hands?
Spare me your tears for Ben Roberts-Smith. If you have a problem with the police, at least be consistent.

@SkyNewsAust @Dazzaat I don’t think we need lectures in morality from the Israeli ambassador. The hypocrisy is world class.

@football360au Couldn't have Tim at #1 ...he wasn't even the best player in the best team he played in (the 2006 squad). Viduka for me. Played the hardest role in the team, creator and scorer, often did the donkey work alone up top. Scored wherever he went. Kewell number 2, brilliant winger

Someone asked me to name a politician with a background relevant to their portfolio in response to my critique of Pauline HANSEN’s appalling performance in Parliament.
Here’s just a few:
Jim Chalmers — Treasurer. PhD in Political Science & International Relations (ANU). First class honours in public policy. Former Chief of Staff to the Federal Treasurer. The only minister with a PhD across two parliaments. Inherited a massive Liberal deficit — delivered the two biggest back-to-back budget surpluses in Australian history. First consecutive surpluses in nearly 20 years.
Michelle Rowland — Attorney-General. Senior telecommunications lawyer at Gilbert + Tobin before parliament.
Mark Butler — Health & NDIS. Arts/Law degree. Led health and aged care policy across multiple governments. Former union secretary representing healthcare workers.
Dr Anne Aly — Small Business & International Development. PhD in counter-terrorism. Professor at two universities. 100+ published academic papers. Founded Australia’s first anti-extremism NGO. Advised the UN Security Council. Spoke at Obama’s White House counter-terrorism summit. Also ran her own policy consulting firm — actual small business experience.
Daniel Mulino — Assistant Treasurer. PhD in Economics from Yale.
Larissa Waters — Greens leader, Environment. Bachelor of Science + Law. Environmental lawyer for a decade before parliament.
Dr Mehreen Faruqi — Greens. Civil engineer with a PhD. Practising environmental engineer before politics.
David Shoebridge — Greens, Justice. Honours Law degree, Sydney University. Former barrister and solicitor. Family Court associate. Directly relevant to his justice portfolio — and one of the few senators actually holding the government to account on arms exports to Israel.
David Pocock — Independent ACT Senator. Masters in Sustainable Agriculture. Former Wallabies captain. Conservationist. Co-founded multiple not-for-profits. Involved in small businesses. One of the most effective crossbenchers in the Senate.
Pauline Hanson — self-appointed expert on immigration, Islam, Indigenous affairs, and everything else. Ran a fish and chip shop. Found guilty by the Federal Court in 2024 of racially vilifying Dr Mehreen Faruqi — a PhD engineer — by telling her to ‘piss off back to Pakistan.’
Currently appealing the decision.
I’ll take the qualifications thanks

Don’t know who this guy is. I assume he’s British. But he calls it right every time, with knowledge and facts.

No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to rescue a catastrophe of its own making. You abused the UK. Threatened Canada. Tried to grab Greenland. Called the EU an adversary. Praised Putin. Hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. Abandoned Ukraine. And did all of it loudly, proudly, and on camera. And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls. You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels. Take your time. We will wait. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

The French President Just Reminded The World What Class Looks Like
Donald Trump stood in front of a camera and did what Donald Trump does. He mocked Emmanuel Macron’s wife. He put on a fake French accent. He told the world that Brigitte Macron “treats him extremely badly” and that the French president was “still recovering from a right hook to the jaw.”
It was the geopolitical equivalent of a man shouting at clouds.
Macron was in South Korea when someone asked him about it. He paused. He considered the question with the expression of a man who has just been informed that a golden retriever has urinated on his Bentley.
Then he said this:
“Neither elegant nor up to standard.”
Seven words. That was it. Seven words delivered with the quiet, devastating calm of someone who genuinely does not need to raise their voice because the staff will handle it.
It was the verbal equivalent of a single raised eyebrow from a man in a perfectly fitted suit, looking down at someone who has just spilled red wine on the carpet at Versailles.
Consider the man on the other end of that eyebrow. A man who wears a red baseball cap to diplomatic meetings and a white one to funerals. A man who arrives at the most solemn occasions in the world looking like he has just wandered in from a golf buggy. A man whose morning routine apparently involves industrial quantities of spray tan applied to a face that has, at various medical estimations, the cardiovascular profile of a blocked Manhattan sewer. A man whose idea of a state dinner is a quarter pounder eaten alone in a motorcade.
This is the man who decided to lecture the world about Emmanuel Macron’s marriage.
Trump called NATO a “paper tiger.” He mocked a head of state’s wife. He uploaded the whole embarrassing performance to the White House YouTube channel, briefly, before someone in the building apparently remembered that diplomacy exists and pulled the plug.
Macron’s response landed like a white glove placed gently on a table. Not thrown. Placed.
“Neither elegant nor up to standard.”
In French diplomatic circles, that sentence is a declaration of war. In English, it translates roughly to: I have noticed your behavior, and I find it beneath comment, which is why I am commenting on it once, quietly, before returning to matters of actual importance.
There is a man in this story who has spent eighty years on this earth and still cannot find a suit that fits, a tie that stops at his belt, or a shade of foundation that occurs anywhere in nature.
And there is a man who responded to being publicly humiliated by the most powerful person on earth with seven words and a expression that could freeze the Seine.
Macron has something Trump has spent his entire life trying to purchase and never quite managed.
Class.

F##k you Jack is what he’s actually saying…

🚨Trump today: “We can’t take care of daycare. We’re a big country. We’re fighting wars. It’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.” The United States has spent: $21 billion on the Iran war in 30 days. $100 million on Trump’s golf tab this term. $200 billion requested for Pentagon weapons. $8 trillion on wars since September 11th. But daycare is not possible. Medicare is not possible. Medicaid — which covers 72 million Americans including children, seniors, and people with disabilities — is not possible.
