We’re in a far more dangerous and violent stage of Trump’s regime. What should we do to stop it?

Much frustration over the last weeks about MSM/ABC as they refuse to play their vital role in our democracy - & the sad truth is they are never going to change

So the Australian Banking Association and the Insurance Council of Australia want a Royal Commission do they?

Interesting.

An incredibly sharp analysis of how the fact of genocide is manipulated both by Zionist but also western media and politicians. I think any politicians stupid enough to fall for this simply lacks the maturity and intelligence to be in a position of power.

Trying to imagine who the editors of the AFR think would be swayed by discovering James Packer was in favour of the Royal Commission.

In your heart of hearts, you know this wrong. We need to swerve around Albanese and his Tory ALP.

Not sure what happened but the Guardian is now at least *mentioning* that there is zero evidence to suggest the Bondi terror attack was the direct result of organised opposition to mass murder

Remember, Ley & news.corp et al aren't talking to you, or even about you. They're screaming at each other & mistaking the echo as a response.

Most Australians want to honour the victims, have stronger gun laws and to get on with their holidays in peace free of unhinged ranting (relatives excepted).

As we watch the capitulation of the Australian media, it’s worth remembering that Israel has murdered almost 300 journalists

Oh god, we're doing the "A test of his leadership" shite.

Which is always "look I, the journalist have no actual evidence, or fats to report, but hey, those vibes, feel those vibes, everyone in the gallery is just talking about the vibes."
Narrator: His critics can't be satisfied. The criticism is the ends, not the means, where ghouls compete to see who can climb atop a pile of dead bodies to shout the loudest.
The prime minister is undoubtedly facing tough conversations behind closed doors, but until the public gets to witness the scrutiny he will never satisfy his critics.

95% of Australian political media coverage is a demand for a dog and pony show.

Something happened, we expect you to respond this way, why aren't you responding the way we expect, oh my god, you are now under pressure to respond the way we expect!

Christ this is just gallery bullshit: "Much has been said of Albanese's inability to assume the natural role of a prime minister as "national mourner in chief" in the wake of a crisis"

Much has been said by us in the gallery, therefore it must be important.

After seeing Ley’s atrocious rant today, it is as well to remember this is the party John Howard destroyed projecting internal division out into the world. It’s ugly and dangerous, aided and abetted by an equally broken media, but it isn’t winning them any friends.
