Den of thieves. A bunch of cavemen waiting to club each other on the head, Flintstones style. No principles, no policies, nothing but bombastic narcissism that is paving the way for a massive wave of reaction. The only winner: Israel and its inducers.

8 months & no response ? Not good enough! Especially when Albanese rushed to embrace Segal’s report.

‘Its status as a credible alternative govt can be conferred only by the cities. Take that status away & what you have left is not an opposition. It is a permanent 3rd party of regional grievance, fighting Hanson for the same shrinking pool of votes…’ smh.com.au/politics/feder…

If the Liberals want to restrict government services to permanent residents, will these non-citizen residents get a major discount on their taxes, if they are unable to source government services?

“Napoleon once said, once your enemy is making a mistake, never interrupt them. And that’s XI jinping’s strategy here, to let America continue to commit superpower suicide, because all China has to do is sit back and collect the benefits.”

@EmergencyBK Sounds like your thyroid should be served with an eviction notice. It took 2 years for doctors to convince me to get mine out (I'd never been in hospital) but it was definitely the right thing to do.

Drove 3mins to shops, pick up scripts & grab some milk from supermarket, walked ~50m, my thyroid shit kicked in middle of supermarket - heart rate skyrocketed, whole body shaking, blood drained from face & had to sit on floor - yeh fun. Lovely man, ~30yrs my senior, carried…1/

Absolutely appalling. So is this what we can now expect? The new normal? Poisoning of our native birds for overseas-owned companies to make profits? The federal govt should step in immediately. @BirdLife_News @BirdlifeOz @World_Wildlife @MurrayWatt @LiaFinocchiaro

#Birds What do you think about this? British-owned beef giant CPC has been granted a permit to poison and kill 20,000 native galahs and little corellas at one of their vast cattle stations in the NT, Australia. In its permit application, CPC admits its practices created the problem: “grain production, on-site storage, and cattle feeding have provided an artificial food source.” Ornithologist Dr Lilleyman was "shocked" to learn of the NT government's decision to grant the permit. She said that Birdlife Australia is concerned about the potential for secondary poisoning of non-target species occurring close to "an internationally significant wetland". CPC has ten cattle stations on about 9 million acres. They supply cattle and beef to Asian markets, domestic feedlots and processors, and export live cattle. The company is owned by Guy and Julia Hands through the Hands Family Office. They live in Guernsey after leaving England to avoid UK tax. CPC has also applied for massive water licenses for irrigation projects to grow grain sorghum and other crops which will inevitably attract even more birds. So what happens then? Even wider-scale poisoning of native wildlife?

The 5 million Angus Taylor thinks don’t vote and the millions in their households who do. Angus Taylor thinks he’s punishing non-citizens. They can’t vote, so it’s a free hit. That’s the entire logic. But it’s a logic only someone who has never lived in the big cities would consider. In the suburbs that decide elections, the household, not the individual, is the political unit. Three generations under one roof or in the same suburb. Grandparents on partner visas. Parents holding PR while the citizenship queue grinds on. Citizen kids enrolled to vote, working part-time, doing the family’s Services Australia paperwork at the kitchen table. Strip the NDIS from a permanent resident and you have not touched a single voter directly. You have touched their daughter. Their son. Their citizen niece. And they vote, very deliberately, for the people in their family who cannot. This is exactly the structural shape of post-war migrant Australia. Greek, Italian, Maltese, Lebanese, Vietnamese households where the citizen children voted for the whole family. It is alive and well, three generations on, in the outer suburbs the Coalition needs to win government. Taylor has told every one of those households that in his Australia, their parents are second-class. He thinks he’s chasing Hanson voters in Farrer. He’s actually handing Labor a permanent structural lock on the seats that decide who governs. And he has possibly committed his party to losing opposition status at the next election.

Will be interesting to see what stance Wale takes on the PRC. Wale was initially a pretty fierce critic of the China-Solomon Islands security pact, but in 2024 said he didn't want to scrap it as that would cause "problems." But he did commit to publishing the full agreement

Hey @abcnews - that 5:00pm radio news lede declaring Angus Taylor will tonight outline his plan to “end mass-migration” was disappointing. Even Pauline Hanson accuses Taylor of plagiarising One Nation policy yet your bulletin parroted divisive rhetoric as if established fact.

@stephendziedzic You only get one Donald Trump in your lifetime, thinks Xi.

CCTV: Xi warned Trump that if Taiwan is "mishandled" the US and China "will clash, or even come into conflict, pushing the entire relationship into a very dangerous situation"
