Now that the Coalition has adopted a really stupid climate-denying energy & emissions policy
they are about to move on to stuffing up immigration.

No saving the Coalition – and that should be a warning to Labor
Labor is trying to present itself as the adult in the room, by pointing to the opposition's tantrums. That’s not governing, it’s babysitting.

Important to remember that Murdoch has been part of the eugenics end of neoliberalism for decades. He’s entrenched with the Islamophobia industry. Also had Peter 👿 Brimelow and Tucker “Great Replacement” Carlson reporting directly. #Auspol

Strange Bedfellows Fox journalists soon had another reason for concern. Around the same time Mr. Carlson was promoting the notion of a South African ethnic cleansing, Fox was lurching through a post-Ailes rebuilding of its human resources organization. Lines of authority and power had always been mysterious at Fox, and so when a formal organizational chart appeared on the company's employee portal, some curious employees logged on to see who reported directly to Rupert Murdoch. Most of Murdoch's subordinates were unsurprising, according to several people who viewed the chart. But one came as a shock: Peter Brimelow, founder of the website VDare. The British-born Mr. Brimelow had known Mr. Murdoch for decades and once worked as a columnist for Market Watch, the Murdoch-owned financial news site. But over the years, he had adopted more pronounced nativist views; VDare, started in 1999, had evolved into a hub of the new, more online-oriented white nationalist movement. Mr. Brimelow once described the Obama administration as a "Minority Occupation Government" and California as "totally overrun by barrios of illegal immigrants." Shortly after Mr. Trump was elected, he spoke at a conference held by the National Policy Institute, a latter-day white nationalist group. (Mr. Brimelow sued The Times in 2020 for articles in which either he or VDare was described as white nationalist; a judge dismissed the case later that year. A separate lawsuit brought by VDare is still pending.) Mr. Brimelow's apparent role at Fox set off a new wave of consternation and gossip. Employees who asked about the relationship were given a variety of explanations. Mr. Brimelow was said to be helping with Mr. Murdoch's memoirs — a project that, as far as most people understood, their boss had abandoned in the 1990s - or writing speeches, or attached to some other Murdoch initiative. In short order, several former Fox employees recalled, the organizational chart was taken down entirely.

The original March for Humanity on the harbour bridge in Sydney was planned for Sun Aug 3, 2025

After the Minns govt took the protest orgs to the NSW Supreme Court, it was held on Sun Aug 31, 2025

But please let's hear again about weekend dates not registering as an issue for the Minns govt

🧐
Copy of a tweet from Eddy Jokovich showing a screenshot from the Guardian with a side photo of NSW Premier Chris Minns. Headline reads: State politics Minns says his office possibly not notified of neo-Nazi rally because it was held on the weekend. Eddie Jokovich's tweet reads: How much bullshit does Minns expect us to believe? Pro-Palestine rallies are scrutinised across every inch of their actions. Why did the Nazi rally proceed? #auspol
