How many of you were alive when the Dismissal happened?
I was a 19 year old student nurse.
I said to my father "Why didn't the GG just make them pass the bill?"
He went on a rant about all the terrible things Whitlams had done & he deserved it.
I said "But he was elected."
He called me naive.

Surely that's got to be a joke.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings."

This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

The amount of coverage of John Laws on @abcnewsaustralia.bsky.social is completely disproportionate to his relevance.
I doubt most people under 50 have even heard of him.

@mikecarlton01.bsky.social on @abcnewsaustralia.bsky.social talking about John Laws and is surprisingly complimentary.
He then talks about Alan Jones and describes him as a hard right wing commentator with an audience of mostly stupid people. 🤣

PM Mark Carney was talking about attracting foreign investment to Canada and listed reasons Canada is a good place to invest. A reporter pointed out that the U.S. has those things, too. What sets Canada apart?

PM Carney: "Well, we have rule of law."

@instanterudite.bsky.social Was that Tex Perkins in the queue behind you when you were interviewing Konrad? #SundayShot

@mariecolemanao.bsky.social I was very amused at your response to the question of whether respect was due following Cheney’s death - shoulders heaving with laughter. 😆
I also have to ask what is “an altogether two cloth cap”?

🧵I asked a friend to send me photos of her new kitchen.
Under the photos was a link to edit with AI.
So I clicked on it and it gave me number of styles to choose from. I chose Classical.
This is the original.

Oh yeah. For sure it was the gender quotas that lost you the election. 🙄

Gender quotas off the table after Liberal Party review of catastrophic election loss
The party’s review into its historic drubbing found Peter Dutton and his team spent years acting like a cautious government-in-exile and presented a dire policy agenda.

Its like the trash taking itself out.
So the one to 25,000 bad apples in the NYPD are "self-deporting?" What a great way to weed out the most prejudiced assholes. Congratulations, New York City!

I don't know what the Liberal Party expected would happen just 6 months after the worst election defeat in history.
Do they expect their party leader to wave fairy dust that will make them popular again?
Especially when they let the extreme right dictate policy.

When he says nobody should read too much into it he means nobody should read, because if they do they'll discover he's lying.

Its so good that she acknowledges we're going in the opposite direction.
Because Trump’s unintelligible waffle isn’t incoherent enough….

He is right about this is mass migration working exactly as intended.
Migrants come to first world countries for a better life for themselves and their children, to become part of society and be successful.
Imagine thinking immigrants are a recent novelty in New York City.
