Volodymyr Zelenskyy has shown how you deal with bullies.
Australia now urgently needs leaders who can plan for a world in which America is not an ally but a threat.
And the first step is ditching AUKUS.

Our politicians are deer in the headlights of history. But Zelenskyy showed how to lead
Zelenskyy has ensured world leaders have nowhere to hide from Trump's threat to Western countries. Australia's leaders can't respond.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

SA's anti-abortion bill, blocking critical access to healthcare, was an attempt by conservatives to use women's rights as a political football.
To those who made their voices heard & voted this bill down, thankyou.

Millennials even less likely to have voted for the Coalition (21%) than Zoomers (27%) at the last #ausvotes www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11... #auspol
New figures show Coalition's 'existential' millennial problem getting worse
As Liberals prepare to fly to Canberra to hash out their net zero stance, results from the Australian Election Study suggest those under 45 have continued to drift away from the Coalition.

Whitlam Dismissal take
The greatest achievement of the Dismissal has been the crushing of the ALP’s ambition to actually bring a better world into being.
Hawke sealed the deal by making the mark of success decent management of a capitalist economy.
Now it’s just ambition to be in government.

The parents income test is just another example of patriarchal society under valuing women. When all said and done, it is women disproportionately damaged
On the partner income test, a commenter mentioned they knew people who had broken up "on paper". I've heard about this too. Understandable response to a broken system - but it is a risk. Centrelink do investigate and their relationship investigations can be *very* intrusive.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”
Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Neatly defined arbitrary generations fail to capture these social delineations. Housing prices have seen many 40-somethings miss out on homeownership, unless they’re lucky (rich or connected). We’re talking families in lifelong insecurity. This isn’t being addressed.
Australia’s housing crisis - yes, it’s a crisis - has been brewing since the 1950s. It’s not new. Anyone telling you we’re not going to have generations of families in precarious housing is privileged AF. Devastating consequences. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
