Keep Left unless overtaking

If a Government is trying to rush a bill through Parliament, then the odds are that something fishy is going on. @AmyRemeikis explains just how the donation reform changes could reinforce the two-party system, and shut out independents and new parties.

@simonahac If the two major parties’ Primary vote is in free fall that should send a strong message that they’re not doing enough to address critical issues in 2024‼️

if you’re a #labor or #coalition supporter, i’ll understand if you want to avoid eye contact today… the 2 major parties are ramming through a set of anti-democratic changes to the fundamental settings of our democracy… entrenching incumbency, undermining fair elections.

@MFWitches Repugnant POS.

The faster we get the arseholes on Australia’s airways sacked, witches, the faster they keep bobbing up in new guises and with new ways of harming women and others. But as much as we’re excited and fucking chuffed that Alan Jones is finally getting some of the punishment he richly deserves today, we have to keep plugging away at his successors who use the same punch-down techniques for profit and kicks. It matters so much that we keep the pressure on ALL of them. We’re not suggesting those we’re now campaigning against are pedophiles or sexual abusers, but they DO promote violence against women and others via their broadcasts so we can’t afford to stop our relentless work going after them. So here’s yet another transcript. This is tweet 1 of 3. __________ Kyle and Jackie O Show, KiiSFM, Monday, November 11th, 2024. All quotes are Kyle unless otherwise stated. Information in brackets is where needed for context. Not all quotes verbatim but close. 6am Segment “Lachie’s hard as a rock under that cummerbund, hard as a rock!” “You’ll never see me there! Big W!” (Kyle, sneeringly, can’t believe Big W sponsor this show the way he talks about their brand) “Ya can’t go coming here insulting the Indigenous, we learned that back in the eighties! (Kyle, disparagingly) “Jimmy Kimmel crying, but that’s what America wanted! Get over it! And Australia’s going the same way! No more woke bullshit! They’re hopeless, all these comedians!” (Kyle, triumphantly on Trump’s election win, and also puts Albo’s suck-up support of him in even starker perspective) “Elon created an app and he knew the result 4 hours before anyone! (Kyle either playing or quoting Joe Rogan, and as if knowing the result before anyone else was innocent and clever) “Don’t you love a genius! He’s so baller! (Jackie about Musk) “Very clever! Because the EU’s mandate is gone, only Elon will be doing it! So it’s worth spending 100 million on Trump! Tesla stocks are soaring! No one else wants to do it, it’s too expensive!” (Kyle, once again showing that - as he’s said himself - his sole news sources are US shock-jocks and Fox News) 6.35am Segment: Tradie vs. Lady “You sound saucy!” (Kyle to woman contestant Kaz) “You found the lingerie photo, single, fave sex position cowgirl, once rejected a hook-up with an A-lister because he was short … So you were happy with an orgy but not a shorty?” Kyle about Kaz) “So do you like circumcised or not circumcised? (Kyle to the women) … “Not circumcised” (Jackie in response) … “So you like the dirty old dinger? Ya get the first mouthful of smegma you’ll change your mind!” (Kyle to both women) Questions for Tradie: 1.What’s the difference between shellac and SNS nails? 2.What does Hunza G sell? 3.Where on the body would you find a forchet piercing? Questions for Lady: 1.Which car part prevents dirt and debris from entering the engine? 2.Berry Freeze is an energy drink sold by which brand? 3.What colour aprons are worn by Bunnings employees? “Don’t dare argue back, you know what they’re like! Fair doesn’t mean anything in a male-female argument!” (Kyle, one of his regular rants demeaning women) “You don’t show each other your stuff?” (Kyle about whether women display their genitals to each other) “The school teacher censor - she has it!” (Kyle, didn’t get full quote but something denigrating an employee again) “I don’t have land remember, I’m a Syrian!” (Censor Lou after Kyle mistakes her for someone of another race, perhaps Israeli, then he starts questioning the censors - ARN’s employees - live on air about whether they have genital jewellery) “I’m just a girl, I’m just a girl!” (contestant Kaz, apologising for her own gender FFS) #VileKyle

BREAKING: 30 Republican Senators Are planning to Vote ‘No’ on Matt Gaetz For US Attorney general Gaetz won't get confirmed if the numbers hold.

my take: farrell has crafted a devilishly complex package (410 pages!) and told libs it’s a “teal killer” and they have to ram it through tomorrow, or else the opportunity is lost. but the bill heavily skews to labor: • each union can run a $11m campaign every year and can still shovel tens of $millions to labor • big business won’t like the new disclosure rules, will pull back from libs

@BenFordhamLive I don’t think anyone should be taking advice /lectures from current or former 2GB hosts

A group of Year 6 parents are furious. They say their kids were given a graphic sex lesson. It has resulted in a school principal being stood down. Listen to the details HERE. 🎧omny.fm/shows/ben-ford…🎧

The company you keep says a lot about who you are!

I remember that‼️

@lesstenny Prefer to leave it a social media ghost town, morally and financially bankrupt. An empty platform with no trains or passengers.

So, lots of you are going to leave us here to fight Elon and Trump on our own Thanks a lot you guys 😢🥺

This elderly man from Australia knows more about the election than most Americans. I love when he calls Trump a “wanker.” 🤣

It's tough to leave a platform where you've spent years building relationships and growing an audience. That's why we created Bluesky, an open social network, that gives you freedom from platforms, so you'll never have to feel this way again. bsky.app/download

Everyone leaving Twitter and heading to BlueSky:

hello and welcome to the 1M people that have joined Bluesky in the last week!!! join Bluesky: bsky.app/download

@JJKALE2 @AlboMP Labor will still be in my top 2 on the ballot. But Labor don’t seem to be taking, climate, Palestine or the consequences of a Trump presidency on AUKUS seriously for mine.

@AlboMP No, I'm not going to make a second mistake. I'm not voting Labor. Who's with me? @AlboMP

I know parents are worried about the impacts of social media on their children. That’s why we're implementing a minimum age of 16. It will help protect kids and give parents peace of mind. Great to chat about it with Craig this morning on ABC Sydney.

@AlboMP My experience suggests that parents are much more concerned about approving new coal and gas projects at a time when global emissions must be reduced and the deteriorating state of the environment.

@RDNS_TAI I appreciate David Pocock’s presence in the Parliament like no other on a very regular basis.He earns every cent of his remuneration.

no group is better positioned than @climate200 to keep trump-style politics on the far side of the pond. as well as 10 community indies standing again, we're aiming to help ~20 other communities… and to be successful we need you. 💸please donate🙏 climate200.com.au/campaign/us-el…

The apparent election victory of Donald Trump, has consequences for the world, that I'm sure, very few people, have ever thought of. The world has just been sent, in an incredibly dangerous direction. 1/🧵

To borrow from FDR on another disastrous day for the US “this day will live in infamy”
