MY LATEST: Sports podcasters who publicly admit to suicidal thoughts earlier in life are now happily promoting online sports betting - a known suicide precursor.
They "ought to know better".

Albanese can’t hold back & calls out Sussan Ley’s absurd claims that it’s been a great year for the Libs
“The leader of the Opposition stood here just before & spoke about how good a year 2025 has been for them & how bad it’s been for us”
“Well, may that continue”💥 #HouseOfReps

It's inconceivable that 2 ppl who look like this can be elected reps in our Federal Parliament. The lights may be on but there's definitely nobody home. In my rose-coloured-glasses youth, I would *never* have believed it.

This bootlicker showcases her lack of integrity every day. She is the ultimate traitor of decency and decorum. Thanks to women like Karoline Leavitt, we will always endure the marginalization of our gender. At the very least, she could recognize it’s not okay to speak to people so nastily.

Who would think that at this point in Australia’s economic transition we should be spending more, not less, on research and development…

CSIRO 350 job cuts a damning indictment on Government priorities, misses 'golden opportunity' on research

A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.
