America, if you ever free yourself from Trump and the Heritage Foundation (a weak maybe at best), perhaps as part of renewal, you bulldoze the Whitehouse. Start fresh with a new facility untainted by the awfulness of Trump, Nixon, etc. #uspolitics #uspol #thewhitehouse

The funny thing is that if you drive through Bumyabby's electorate, there are large-scale renewable energy projects everywhere. His own constituents are embracing it. #auspol #energy #barnabyisanidiot

We do have a pretty good system here in Australia. The one reform missing is to set the federal parliament to four year fixed terms. This would make governments work more and campaign less, something the nation could do with. It works for state and local governments. #auspol #elections

I have been away for a month, and, tbh not seeing the news and commentary has been good. Let's see how long I can manage a more equanimitous approach to world affairs. My views have not changed, but I will be responding less to what I see.

I would want to see where the extra politicians are going to be, with any increase balanced across the parties.
Four year fixed terms? Absolutley! @davidpocock.bsky.social it would be great if you could work on this. #auspol

A Labor factional heavyweight is making the case for more federal politicians and longer, fixed parliamentary terms.

An excellent read from @rbreich.bsky.social The lesson for the Democratic Party in the USA is one @australianlabor.bsky.social could also learn. Centrism, which allows the right to get away with their excesses, is not what we need. Be brave for a change Labor. #auspol #uspol
What the Democrats need least: A new think tank financed by billionaires
What elected Dems REALLY need is the courage to stop taking big money and raise taxes on the wealthy to finance what most Americans need

@albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social are you going to address this blatant preferential treatment favouring the noisy Zionist crowd? #auspol #islampphonia
The Islamophobia Register will run out of core funding soon and the @albomp.bsky.social government refuses to top it up. It received only $1 million, compared to the $25 million received by the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.
This differential treatment is why what happened on Sky happened.

Following on from another conversation here today, it seems I am not the only one who thinks the Dems in the USA are their own worst enemy. Arrogant, out of touch, unwilling and unable to evolve with the times and the needs of their voters. Sounds like the book is a good laugh. #uspol #democrats
