*Why did Howard & Marn Ferguson act as they did?
*Why has it not been dealt with as a matter of national security
*How corrupt is Canberra now (rhetorical question)

“The Beer excise raises more money than the PRRT”
LNP and Gas shills: yeah but what if we count the company tax of gas companies??!!!!
“Ok, what if we count the income tax of beer drinkers? What if we also count the GST paid on beer?”

One Nation, Liberals, Labor, they are all the same. They refuse to take on corporate power, refuse to invest in public housing and essential public goods, then play politics with immigration to divide and distract us.

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

Abbott issues warning to Taylor over becoming 'One Nation-lite'
As Angus Taylor takes the Liberal leadership via a spill motion, a former leader with plenty of experience at that offers up some advice on dealing with One Nation and immigration.

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket."
The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might.
More on this tomorrow.

funny to see this clip of an anonymous chud who needs white supremacy to feel like his life has meaning just after attending an event honoring a brilliant black scholar for her brilliant book
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Yet again police review their own actions. I really hope this one surprises me but I'm not hopeful. The premier and the head of the police are willfully ignoring independent video footage showing the actions. Maybe the LECC will do better.
The Law Enforcement Conduct Commission on Friday said it would investigate the police response to the demonstration at Town Hall on Monday night.

Defence's new partner for their 'Ghost Shark' is US tech-bro Palmer Lucky.
Who recently said he 'loves killer robots.'
But don't worry, when Defence works with him, they will be "consistent with Australia's interpretation of law."
