Unashamedly woke. I often wonder these days if we are (or ever were) the good guys. You know, trying to make the world a better place.
Twelve!

New ones!

All of which will be delivered on time and not be dependent on Canada becoming a servile vassal state of Germany.
Prime minister Carney announced a German defence firm has won a contest to supply our navy with up to 12 advanced diesel-electric submarines. It is by far the biggest defence deal in Canadian history. 🇨🇦

After a peaceful night with no violence at the Bisalloy picket, it looks like Chris Minns and Labor have sent the so-called Public Order squad in. They are violently flinging protestors aside to ram their SUV’s through this morning. The picket holds.

OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.

Hanson: “(Voters) realised that we are the last hope of changing things in this country, to get it back to the country that we used to be.”

Erm. It used to be just indigenous folk Pauline. Not quite sure how far back she wants to go.

It will be interesting to see how Trump manages to blame the whole Iranian fustercluck on Joe Biden.

The real news in the South Australian election is the collapse of the conservative vote. But from the reporting (in all of the MSM) you’d think ON is on the verge of political dominance.

Seriously? A massive majority for Labor and a divided and irrelevant Opposition. That’s the story.

Apparently though, some evil things are OK and we can just look the other way.
Herzog says 'we shall overcome this evil together' during Bondi visit
Isaac Herzog was invited by the governor-general and prime minister to join the Jewish community grieving the loss of life in the December 14 massacre of mostly Jewish Australians at a Hanukkah event.

We don’t need to wait for the Aukus submarines (not that they’ll ever be delivered) to question our sovereignty. It’s happening already.

Our leaders must decide who they put first - Australians or Trump
Trump's bombing of Iran and our government's response shows rules only matter when America says they matter and Australia falls into line.

"This appears to be another instance of Palestinian voices being silenced.”

So:
- Who directed that Mashni's interview be deleted, and why?
- Is ABC censoring views critical of Israel?
- has 'Lawyers for Israel' or other Zionist lobbies, pressured the ABC Chair?

#Auspol Spread the word Australia if Canada can drop to 70% we can. Talk to family and friends about all the innocent tourists locked up by America for weeks etc
Canadian air travel to the U.S. drops 70% as tourists favor Europe amid tariff talks. Air Canada flights see reduced bookings, reflecting shifting travel preferences. Economic factors and policy discussions likely driving the trend, impacting North American tourism.

Peter Dutton is divisive, belligerent, and damaging to our social cohesion. He foments fear and division for votes. This is not leadership it is weakness and a poor substitute for actual policies. Don't risk Dutton #auspol www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...
How Peter Dutton got it wrong on the caravan – and why voters need to know it
Dutton went harder than both Anthony Albanese or Chris Minns on the caravan because he had a political objective.

ABC: “That year the High Court would also allow for the indefinite detention of non-citizens who could not be deported (Howard era) in a decision that would stand until November 2023, when the High Court found the practice to be unlawful (Labor).”

If proof was needed of a politicised High Court.
