“Ill informed”. Bullshit! This pathetic crawling to Trump administration shames us all.
What a disgraceful surrender to Trump bullying. I’ve already given up on Albo/ALP govt but this obsequious proposal plumbs new lows.
Minister's Trump lamb plan labelled 'ill-informed' by super sector
Trade Minister Don Farrell asks the Trump administration to consider sparing Australian sheep farmers from future tariffs in exchange for Australian investment in America's lamb industry.

Given how Murdoch media operates in permanent opposition to the ALP it’s amazing to me that Albanese doesn’t take them on…but then he’s demonstrated that he doesn’t have the balls to take on any well-funded group (e.g. resources industry, gambling industry).
It lectures on Australian taxation but pays none itself. News Australia Holdings racked up 10 years of paying zero tax. It earned $1.89 billion in revenue, made more than $300 million in profit (a record for the past decade) & contributed zero. #auspol www.crikey.com.au/2026/10/01/n...
News Corp celebrates more than a decade of paying zero tax in Australia
News Corp continues to make serious money in Australia while paying no tax. But even the Murdoch monolith isn't the nation's worst tax dodger.

WTF! Hard to understand ALP position - it’s not as though turning a blind-eye to this serial tax avoidance is impacting on News Corp’s serial anti-ALP propaganda.

The Greens can win Macnamara.

Josh Burns is right to be afraid.

Opposing genocide is not antisemitism.

Any thoughts Jillian Segal? Any thoughts to those politicians wanting us arrested for opposing genocide by saying words ?????

She's a 94 year old Jewish human rights lawyer.

She's been arrested under terrorism legislation for opposing genocide.

The least we can do is to listen.

You answered your own question earlier today Senator - The ALP under Albanese now a right-wing Conservative Party.
Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to tax gas? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to build public housing? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to end AUKUS?

Greens are happy to be constructive about things that materially benefit the public. We are not a rubber stamp.

Pauline Hanson’s former staff expose One Nation’s fascist core: an indefinite hold on power making her "President for life"—while banning the media to hide from accountability.

Honestly, with the majority of the American public it’s pretty mainstream to recognize that Israel is committing genocide. It’s not a “far-left” idea. We the people are sick of funding murderers. This includes Hegseth, Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, etc.
We are done.

theconversation.com/yes-its-the-.... “…while 77% (of One Nation) believe a Hanson government would successfully manage the cost-of-living crisis.” So Australia’s democracy is in the hands of these ignorant fuck-wits. God help us!
Yes, it’s the economy, stupid. But One Nation is outflanking the government on messaging, too
Voters’ economic pain is real. But perceptions matter too, and the government must get better at selling its message on its key policies.
