Here’s Aunty reporting Trump’s bs as though he’s truthful, logical and not living with dementia.

Tiresome.

Our national shame. 😔
Can we ban booing at WTC events with OTT police clamp down, prosecutions and possible gaol terms, in the same way we have banned certain phrases and symbols that represent genocide in Gaza?
Just asking. #auspol #racism

Behind most card payments in Europe stand
Two US giants, #Visa & #Mastercard - a dependence recently thrust into the spotlight.

After issuing an arrest warrant for #Netanyahu, several judges at the #ICC were sanctioned by Washington, leaving them unable to use their bank cards, even on #EU soil.

Aunty in asshole mode again 🙄

“… the opposition will back the thrust of the changes (while noting that when the Morrison government tried to make some reforms, they were demonised by the then Labor opposition).”

LNP ‘reforms’ never helped anyone in need!

Just when you wondered if it was possible to like Jillian Seagal less, here’s AFR with more vomit-inducing bullshit…
Unelected, unqualified & not requested to take the position

Let's put her participation in Australian political discourse to a vote - If she wins a seat, she gets the same say as any other elected representative.

If she doesn't, and she won't, then she can shut the fuck up

Seriously, @australianlabor.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social the days of kicking this can down the road are over.

You’re our elected representatives, and we’re sick of corporate welfare while PAYE taxpayers hold the sky up.

Fix it or find a new job.

It's extraordinary how Israel can go on a murderous rampage and steal land from three different countries at the same time and our leaders will look you dead in the eye and say Iran is the rogue state in the region

POV: GenX-er stoked the fossil fuel lobby & media co-conspirators are increasingly seen overriding national interests, human and environmental priorities for profit.

As Trump's rhetoric escalates, Albanese diplomatically eyes off-ramp
Neither side of politics in Australia rushed to enthusiastically celebrate the ceasefire deal that followed US President Donald Trump's threat.

“Taylor says ceasefire ‘welcome’, even if he wouldn’t have criticised Trump like Albanese”
- The Guardian, 8/4

Wouldn’t have criticised Trump shit-posting about ending civilisation in Iran?

It’s no surprise Murdoch gave up on the Liberals.
