this here is a foreign policy. It wants the Albanese government to make education, policing, media, policing, digital, arts and migration policy for the benefit of a foreign state. We have no alliance or treaty or any other such arrangement with Israel.

The truly sad thing is absolutely no one thought the ALP would reject the NWS extension. Everyone knows the ALP deny climate change, everyone knows the ALP always does what gas companies demand.

I'm not sure which video to post--the fifteen paramedics in their last moments as one of them prays amid gunfire, the journalist being burned alive, the man holding a headless toddler, the people blown into the air, or the young man quietly rocking the shrouded body of a child.

It's a genocide.

Just like Dutton, who defined himself as a local, hardworking cop but spent barely 9 years on the force and over 20 years on a cosy Fed MP wage, building a 30Million plus property portfolio

Terribly convenient, isn't it, for a generation in power which has ruthlessly screwed young people - house prices, tuition fees and grants, environmental breakdown, hostility to their speech and identity - to blame smart phones for their poor mental health.

NATO can't protect Europe from Russia because the US has defected. The EU can't because UK is no longer a member. The UN can't because of Russia & US.

We need a body with Europe + UK but not Russia + US, with existing admin infrastructure.

What I'm saying is: arm the Eurovision Song Contest.

My wife and I talk a lot on Telegram. Most of it is "I love you". I wrote a bot which auto-replied to "I love you" with "I love you too" after a short delay. Turns out she did the same thing. I finished work and there were 5,000 unread "I love you" and "I love you too" messages.

Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇

90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free.

To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax.

Add your name to make them pay their fair share: theaus.in/collect_gas_... #auspol
