“There’s no such thing as the ‘centre right’ and successful political parties need to focus on what voters want from candidates, not what candidates want to sell to voters,” writes Richard Denniss, co-CEO of The Australia Institute.

I’d like to know how many times these people have interfered with our democracy, who’s who and the connections with Australian politicians and media. Are any Australian people involved with Epstein and Trump’s despicable acts.

If we had mainstream political journalists worth the name, they'd focus far less on the superficial race-horse politics of One Nation v LNP.
And far more on the links between Rinehart, MAGA, One Nation, Advance, IPA & other RW 'think tanks', and the global Atlas Network. #auspol

"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one." Humans are meant to be multi capable not just good at one specific thing, it's part of our DNA and AI will never be able to do that, certainly not today!

As bad as Labor is, the Liberals and National Party have a number of confirmed Z—nis— and would be doing the same or worse. The only party calling Israel out is the Greens. It’s probably all part of their AUKUS deal, make me sick!

Hanson was a Liberal in the Howard mould. He said nothing about Hanson and only started putting her last as a tactical measure (not a pushback on policies) after the 1998 Qld election scare. He embraced her polices - which were variations of his One Australia platform
Just your regular reminder that John Howard never pushed back against Pauline Hanson and One Nation policies. He embraced them, which is how he outflanked them, while also setting the stage for what the Liberals are today. The myth that he 'pushed back' truly needs to die.
