ASIO's Mike Burgess and a lust for the limelight johnmenadue.com/post/2025/11...

What Paddy said …..
ASIO's Mike Burgess and a lust for the limelight
In succumbing to a lust for the limelight, the ASIO director, Mike Burgess, is not making it easier for the government and citizens to retain confidence in him and the organisation he’s trying to run.

What Tsunami ????

early morning on the Liberal Party “retreat” to dissemble on “Zero” relevance following Party Room “coup”,of the Iscariot Faction, regarding Climate Change Policy

“ our headspace can’t be in a better place” said the perpetually bewildered current Leader Mz Ley

Yes …although more like a rerun of “Dr Strangelove” than “12 O’clock High” I’d suggest

This …from Guy Rundle is an impressive dissertation on the cognition of Kerr , the “history” of animus between competing ideologies of the day but more importantly it’s an expose of the foreign interdiction of the USA into our political process
It was fifty years ago today…on the '75 coup
The Dismissal coup was more like Chile 1973 than anything in our own prior history. Here's one telling of it that brings it all together...

“We came to bury Caesar, not simply to “Ley” her down “

This out take from ABC’s coverage , after the Liberal Party’s Caucus meeting,will become the Iconic Image of what will become known as “Ley day”

This is the “face” of the American Trumpist future

This is what happens when you commodify then monetise a Nations Health and Social Services

The “slope” is not just”slippery” it’s being greased by greed and avarice to the point that “disposablity”becomes the default vernacular of the entitled

Quote of the day

“The party is virtually unelectable if it abandons its moderate umbrella at the whim of angry white men”

For 3decades,2 1/2 in Office,the cascading irrelevance of LibParty,to the aspirations of Australians,is no better summarised
It’s Ley, or virtually certain Liberal self-immolation
People closer to the action than I are suggesting that the end is nigh for Sussan Ley. They may be right; momentum is often all in these matters.

Robert , “the Establishment” is not “The Government” , but The #RepubloTrumpians have now made it such with their indistinguishable co control of Corporate And Civil Administration of Trump and his Broliarks and Financiers running the White House

“He who pays the Piper calls the Tune” resonates
Democrats can't defeat Trump-MAGA authoritarianism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people.

We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.

It starts with the party rejecting Big Money.

In reality this is,and has been, the raison d'être of American Foreign Policy for generations, if not singularly then primarily
