President Zelensky warned that allowing Russia to seize territory would repeat mistakes made since 2014 and earlier conflicts. He said Putin cannot be stopped with concessions and claimed Russia is losing 30,000 to 35,000 troops a month.

Anthony Albanese has only himself to blame.

Instead of an anti-racism expert, he chose to appoint a pro-Israel lobbyist, masquerading as 'envoy'.

While totally ignoring that important, evidence-based work done by the independent race discrimination commissioner.

Thought he was going to be low hanging fruit for the NACC when the ALP won government. Then sadly I learned that the NACC were dealing with potentially corrupt behaviour in a completely unexpected way.

Apparently “America First” means promising foreign countries financial assistance from US taxpayers but only if they vote for the incumbent president trailing in the polls.

What’s concerning is not that Angus Taylor has no policies or any idea,
but that according to Libs themselves he’s the ‘smartest’ in their shadow cabinet.
The party’s now a joke, and he’s the punchline.

My thoughts exactly - how many times can a "repackaged" souffle rise 🙄

Another with "charity" status - so far no indication of how much they've managed to receive in donations. Of course we won't get to know who donates.

As a person from New South Wales. It's not our PM I'm concerned about. I'm more worried about our Premier, Chris Minns, and what he's going to do next. Especially after the last three months.
That's not just me being hyperbole either.
