Compare Robodebt victims' compo to the quantum of Scott Morrison's publicly funded legal fees. It's shameful, reports Rex Patrick.

The person Americans elected to represent them spoke at the UN yesterday.
He essentially told us we’re all a bit shit and that the USA despises us.
It’s time for the rest of the world to grasp this reality and begin building relationships and systems that sidestep the US.
Fuck ‘em.

Charlie Kirk is now internationally a household name and yet Melissa Hortman - Democratic speaker who was assassinated - is not. How did this happen? It happened because mainstream journalists in America and elsewhere (inc Australia) let Donald Trump set the news agenda. This is a perfect example.

One of the early Zionist slogans encouraging the settlement of Palestine by European Jews was “a land without a people for a people without a land”. Like Australia's British colonisation, Israel was founded on the lie of Terra Nullius. #Israel #Palestine #Australia #auspol

No baby formula has entered Gaza for four months because of Israel’s genocidal blockades. There is nothing left to feed babies and their mothers can not produce milk as they themselves are starving. There is no defending what Israel is doing. No justification.

No idea why media still depicts Nats as a farmers party. They are a mining party beholden to coal and gas interests and funded by Gina Rinehart. When there is a conflict between farmers and fossil fuels, they always back fossil fuels. Their opposition to wind is to protect fossil fuels for longer.
