Australian here 👋

Stop saying the tragedy in Sydney demonstrates that strict gun laws don’t work.

There were ZERO mass shootings in Australia in the two decades after strict gun laws were passed in 1996.

We have so much we need to do, but strict gun laws remain a critical part of the solution.

"While the victims of the massacre at Bondi Beach were still bleeding, Benjamin Netanyahu - architect of the genocide in Palestine - blamed Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese."

Butt out, Netanyahu

Butt out Netanyahu. Ugly political point-scoring follows Bondi Beach tragedy - Michael West
Israel’s Prime Minister should butt out of Australian politics. The tragedy at Bondi Beach must not be exploited for political points.

Its that simple.

Brereton is not fit for the role.

The NACC is not fit for purpose.

I don't blame them one bit. How can you rely on a country that barely survived the first four years and then voted to go through it again? Once your friend goes back to their abusive toxic X, you lose all respect and trust no matter who they are with after that.

Yes that is 2nd in the whole world.

The IMF reports on 191 countries.

We are also only 1 of 7 out 191 countries with a "AAA" credit rating.

Better than the USA etc.

So, if the media, the Libs, the Nats, One Nation, are saying things are bad in Oz, I think we can safely assume they are lying.

🔥🔥🔥 BREAKING: Governor Gavin Newsom fights FIRE WITH FIRE and announces that California will cut off all funding to any college that signs Donald Trump's MAGA loyalty pledge.

This is a brilliant chess move from Newsom...

People starting shit about Kamala Harris’ “lukewarm” endorsement of Zohran Mamdani need to take a damn seat.

She endorsed him even though he didn’t support her run or, by all counts, even vote for her for president. That’s taking the high road.
It isn’t a hard choice. Zohran Mamdani is the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York. If you are a Dem in the fight, he should have your endorsement. We need to win every race.

Rachel Maddow: “Do you endorse his candidacy?”

Kamala Harris: “I support the Democrat in the race. Sure.”
