@BernardKeane @profsarahj I never thought I’d be more ashamed of a Prime Minister than I was of Morrison. But here we are @AlboMP . What a horrendous error of judgment to give in to the Israeli lobby. And Minns’ behaviour is incomprehensible. @PhilipThalis @DavidShoebridge

Gotta love how Minns' goons are saying "don't believe what your own lying eyes are telling you about what we did last night, it's all out of context".

Hey @ChrisMinnsMP - as Premier you have no right to mess with our democratic right to public protest. We see obscene actions of fascists on news every day - we don’t want proto-fascist edicts here, enforced by your hand-picked police commissioner Protest against Israeli slaughter

@PhillipAdams_1 Meditation time.

As endless a task as painting the Harbour Bridge. Mowing the farm’s lawns.

The Palestinian author at the centre the censorship and lobbying controversy that devastated the Bendigo Writers Festival gets her opinion piece pulled at the last minute by The Age …why? We put that question to The Age and are yet to hear back.

Scenes from Sydney’s #savegaza march across the harbour bridge. If our Govts too servile to speak up, we the people assert our democratic rights to protest! & we did in huge numbers, regardless of the politicians, police or stormy weather

@theprojecttv The crowd is taking on the Qld Firebirds??

Robert Irwin has stunned the crowd at the Sunshine Coast Lightning stadium by turning up to watch them take on the Queensland Firebirds in the Super Netball.

@rebaillieu Similar gameplay on behalf of Nathaniel Smith, Liberal candidate for Whitlam where every entrance to the local park next door to the pre polling place was blocked by his volunteers. Never seen anything like it. Smacks of desperation.

Liberal Party games continue at Malvern Prepoll as Amelia Hamer builds a literal wall and uses umbrellas to try and deny places for people to hand out flyers or put signs Amelia Hamer has to be one of the least ethical candidates of this election. Lying and playing games #auspol

@Markotaco @Scutty Labor was ambitious in 2019 but people freaked out over franking credits and negative gearing. Ambition isn’t rewarded.

@Scutty Does the electorate share some blame by voting for less ambitious governments?

Have lost interest in the Australian election. No major party has provided a plausible plan to improve our living standards in the future. Just lots of tinkering without addressing issues where reform is desperately needed. The leadership vacuum continues to worsen.

Katherine Rundell; libraries are astonishing

The myth that the Liberal Party are better economic managers than Labor debunked in a short video. Share the f*** out of this!

@KosSamaras Is the 65% turnout accurate? Is the fine so low people are apathetic?

The Victorian Greens excuses for losing Prahran. It’s Labor’s fault (On par with my dog ate my homework excuse) Young voters did not turn up (no one has any insight on who voted and who did not) It’s summer - hence, young voters did not turn up. (Do the Greens have ankle bracelets on young voters and hence are able to track them?) How does a political party that claims to follow the science on climate so often resort to the political equivalent of mysticism and folklore?

Here's to the Australian housing bubble🏡🫧 A glittering monument to our collective delusion, where we’ve somehow convinced ourselves that paying a million dollars for a shoebox with a view of your neighbor’s laundry is the pinnacle of success. But let’s call it what it really is: a neon-lit symptom of societal collapse, dressed up in the guise of "the Aussie dream." Imagine a society so obsessed with hoarding bricks and mortar that it’s willing to sacrifice an entire generation’s future on the altar of capital gains. Young Australians aren’t just priced out of the market—they’re being gaslit into believing they’re lazy avocado toast enthusiasts for not being able to afford a crumbling terrace house that costs 12 times their annual salary. Meanwhile, the banks cheer, the politicians shrug, and the property moguls sip champagne in their negatively geared mansions, blissfully unaware that a pyramid scheme only works as long as there’s someone left to hold the base. The housing bubble isn’t just an economic anomaly; it’s a grotesque metaphor for a society that’s traded community, creativity, and basic human dignity for the hollow promise of eternal equity growth. We’ve turned homes into speculative assets, neighbors into competitors, and the future into a Ponzi scheme. And when the bubble finally bursts—because all bubbles do—we’ll be left staring at the rubble, wondering how we ever thought this was sustainable. So here’s to the Australian housing bubble🍾

@HackedOffHugh Please enjoy this photo of our PM and Grace Tame, former Australian of the Year.

@DaveMilbo I’d really like to know if this photo is in the NewsCorp press today.

That surreal feeling when an Australian of the Year wears your website's merch to meet the Prime Minister

@JosieMcskimming The concern is that people don’t care. That’s what he’s banking on. Selfishness rules. Look at what the US has done because they think the price of eggs is too high. #auspol

I always knew Dutton was a piece of work, but for him to be leveraging antisemitism, war, & the suffering of ppl in Gaza for his own political advantage is disgusting. Can ppl see through it? #auspol abc.net.au/news/2025-01-2…

@TheTennisLetter Wimbledon 2019.😟

You can change the result of one tennis match. What's your move?

I agree Paul…..
