Brilliant with language, brilliant wit, extraordinary leader and visionary. Yet rejected by a fearful, distrusting and conservative electorate. Not much has changed except we now also have a fearful, conservative Labor government led by a cautious bureaucrat. @albomp.bsky.social #auspol
This is a remarkable video . Gough Whitlam was in fine form here . He dissected the press and corrected the narrative shamefully peddled by the right.

Really? The LNP roll an ex cop in need of coaching, and appoint a leafy private school graduate, a career politician with time at the Business Council and training from Frydenberg? Wow! Shows real electoral insight and a winning formula. #auspol

So we now have Fed ALP promoting Ritcho as a role model, NSW ALP offering a state funeral to shock Jock and today, Vic ALP wanting to lock up for life 14 yr olds for home invasions.
Values out, expediency in. Compassion gone replaced by cruelty. So sad. #auspol

What type of Labor Government praises a misogynistic, Machiavellian operative like ’Richo’ and offers a shock jock a state funeral??? Richard Marles very quick to elevate Richo to labor hero status. #auspol

Probably the worse interview I have seen Sarah Ferguson conduct. Wasted opportunities. Obsessed with Jo Biden yet no exploration of say the future of America. Will it survive? No mention of climate change, no exploration of democracy. Constantly interrupting. Very poor. #auspol.

The Murdoch Gutter Press and Sussan have politicised and weaponised crime in Victoria, but is it really as bad as the they preach? Nah. The optics are very different to the facts. #auspol

Is Melbourne really the ‘crime capital of Australia’?
Sussan Ley recently declared Melbourne the ‘crime capital of Australia’. But a closer analysis of the data shows a much more nuanced picture.

Nice quote from Richard Rohr which really sums up the state of those who hate.

#theage is the one tone deaf and devoid of insight. The vast majority of Australians want peace, they’re neither antisemitic nor anti Muslim. Yet the #MSM pay more attention to the violent few, whilst ignoring the genocide of thousands. Media create the imbalance www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...
Sunday’s Gaza protest a glaring example of tone-deaf intransigence
Following violent antisemitic incidents in Melbourne on Friday, protest leaders should have cancelled Sunday’s demonstration.

Putin, Netanyahu and Trump have single handedly eroded our moral compass, used retribution as a tool of power and redefined our international order. All aided and abetted by Murdoch. Four men affecting billions of people. How can they be stopped? #auspol

The collective shame in having a media scrum who features a powerless nutter setting on fire a door of a synagogue yet downplays a powerful nutter who destroys a country and its people, is extremely disturbing. Australia has lost its way. #auspol

And still, STILL, I’m mostly seeing and hearing ‘Israel says’ or ‘the IOF says’ when it’s obvious to anyone with a shred of integrity that the Israeli regime IS NOT KNOWN FOR TELLING THE TRUTH ON ANYTHING AND IS NOT EVEN HIDING ITS CRIMES ANYMORE.

ABC insists on calling on Joe Hockey for his 'expertise' on #AUKUS.

They identify him as former ambassador to the US.
But fail to note that he is a current lobbyist for weapons companies in the US and Australia.
