Australia needs a new form of political parties, maybe new form of government.
We fail to properly tax our imported & finite resources, but we get almost free & very good health care.
At same time we hv a housing & energy cost crisis, crippling debt.
We cd & shd be doing better.

Labor has sanctioned Mehreen Faruqi for holding up a sign in the Senate, but won’t sanction Israel for its genocide in Gaza.
It’s like peaceful activism is worse than murdering countless Palestinian babies.

No one on here seems to have considered the next phase in this sordid Epstein saga is that Murdoch switches to Vance and destroys Trump. Republicans can purge themselves of Trump while still gaining all the anti democratic stuff he’s helped them do.

Insane scenes in Downtown Los Angeles as the cops open fire indiscriminately on people milling about. The cops shattered a business’s windows while firing on a live-streaming journalist. Keep this in mind when people talk about the protesters causing property destruction. 🎥 : AXN News on YouTube

Sussan Ley the politician has shown she’ll offer up whatever helps her own survival. That’s one way to ensure she’s not holding it for long.
