@anders_aslund He only bullies weaker countries ...

Russia announces that it will systematically bomb Kyiv, including diplomatic missions. Trump & the US do not even protest. Trump is the greatest coward the US has ever had as president.

Australia needs a frank and open debate re the dangerous and horrendously expensive AUKUS agreement. The mind blowing cost is not justifiable, any pact should aim to lessen risk of war, make Australia more safe- it does the opposite on both counts. Make it a major election issue.

@PKilfoyle89769 @CoastalGranma @Bonkavision5 Yeah ... what a statesman🤭

@CoastalGranma @Bonkavision5 It’s call diplomacy you idiot

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it. This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." - Tony Locke

@FetchStep @Chezwoof I think it's a liblab lock step on this one.😏

@Chezwoof Yes , like the rest of the Labor party it's America/Israel first always

A done deal. Labor will take Darwin port from the Chinese and give it to the Americans. "I'm reluctant to speculate on what the US may or may not want, but in a broader sense, part of the US being attracted to doing more from Darwin—and it is doing more from Darwin" #Aukus

@hoss_tagge We now have paracetamol with added caffeine. Presumably for truckies with a headache who want to keep driving.😉

Who cares. Is it possible to just leave people alone and stop trying to terrify them and interfere in personal decisions? What about alcohol? What about motorcycle riding? Swimming?

@GayleAlstrom @RossKneeDeep Good. Ordinary Americans pay enough tax!

@RossKneeDeep I said a long time ago that I think he will bankrupt the U.S. Trump thought he would get money from Tariffs, but thanks to the SCOTUS that´s now out the window.

America: Trump's 7th Bankruptcy.

@andyg00d Shocked to learn this fish is still on many menus!

Endangered sawfish at risk from plan to double water extraction from WA’s Fitzroy River, advocates say Australia has learnt little since the Franklin Dam conflict, decades ago. Nowhere is sacred from our greedy arrogant attitude to land theguardian.com/environment/20…

@BrexitBassist And i've still never eaten at either of them😄

Absolute nonsense. The boomer gen born between 46 to 64 No fast food existed only as fish and chips takeaway The country was still rationed until the 50s Wimpy restaurant from 54 not cheap or fast, first to sell burgers, a treat McDonald's opened in 74 BurgerKing opened in 77

@fire_starter457 Probably the same way he magickly 'stole' an election while trump was in charge.🤭

How was it possible for Pres. Biden to plant 274 Agents in the Capitol on January 6 when Trump was President? Asking for a friend.

@BrendanFalk And stupidly gave away the gene shears

Yeah Australia only invented wifi, cochlear implants, black box flight recorders, the pacemaker... This chip startup probably nothing

@entropyrian @haugejostein Sounds more like Israel really; if they weren't encroaching on neighbouring territories, we'd probably have had none of this crap.

@haugejostein A nuclear-armed death cult that has been coordinating terrorism in all the countries around it having total control over the most important shipping route in the world sounds like a bad idea actually.

The only way to fully and permanently reopen the Strait of Hormuz is to respect Iran's sovereignty and stop bombing them. Call me crazy, but I think that sounds like a pretty reasonable solution.

@GBTSocScientist And if we think the US will honour any agreement we have, just look how they've treated Ukraine!

WE ABSOLUTELY NEED TO STOP AUKUS! ITS A SCAM BY MORRISON WHO CANCELLED THE FRENCH SUBS SO HE COULD GET A JOB IN USA WHEN WE KICKED HIM OUT! THERE WILL BE NO AUKUS SUBS! WE COULD HOUSE ALL OF OZ FOR THESE BILLIONS WE R GIVING CORRUPT USA!!!

@ronsterd89 Computers. ☺️ They've just increased the speed of the human race ... to nowhere.

If You Could Erase One Invention From History Forever, Which One Would You Choose?

@Samlester609 @colonelhogans Used to think he was ok till he made himself the 'minister for women'.😆 He's a religious zealot.

@colonelhogans Tony abbot is extremely smart. A real historian who has admitted to Making mistakes. That’s a sort of person you want around. Not blaming other people

The Liberal Party just went back to the 1950’s with one idiotic decision. Tony Abbot is federal president.

@MikeDrucker Bet he still has humans staffing his yacht though 😄

“I wish we had workers who never complained” - Rich guy who spends 18 hours each day online complaining

@GunnelsWarren He finds one more offensive than the other. As a father of 14 kids you'd think he's have more empathy ... I'm always told how empathetic parents are towards other children.

Funny. I thought it was morally wrong for Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth more than $800 billion, to eliminate humanitarian aid that will cause 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet to die in the next 4 years.

@Curiouslycinna2 @EvilKeaton @madsssagascar @Tyler_A_Harper Don't know that i'd be as proud of something i programmed the knitting machine to produce as i would have been completing the garment myself. Probably wouldn't be able to enter it in the local show either.😳

@EvilKeaton @madsssagascar @Tyler_A_Harper I wouldn’t. I just think the tools are new and little is gained from taking the piss. Obviously if they really thought they did the marathon I’d be fine about cringe pisstaking.

if someone ran a marathon and someone else drove 26 miles i wouldnt congratulate the driver just because he ended up at the destination

@homemadehooplah TBF, consumers gave him a hand with shutting the smaller businesses. On principal, we haven't bought anything 'amazon' since the early 2010's.

Says the guy whose employees pee in bottles, who has single handedly forced more small business to shutter than any other corp in history, and who is actively planning to replace countless workers in warehouses & factories for companies with robots These people are abhorrent

@_Mr_Richard That's funny! And i've often thought the same about astrology & palmistry - my party tricks. 😆

What do you mean by “Atheist don’t have morals” My morals are the only thing stopping me from becoming a pastor and exploiting your gullibility for profit
