US deported hundreds who were willing to work in factories and other labour intensive jobs.

It would have been more sensible to deport those who don't want to, you know, the white people!

Do the US tariffs on Australian steel and aluminium mean we can rip up the 'free trade' agreement we have with the US? Seems at minimum, pharmaceuticals would be cheaper www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03... Action possible? @zalisteggall.bsky.social @davidpocock.bsky.social @adambandt.bsky.social
How America ripped off Australia with 'free trade'
If the events of the past few weeks have proven anything, it is that free trade agreements are worthless, at least when it comes to trade.

Well worth reading for insights into the lack of transparency in our political duopoly, and the limits of "Ministerial Discretion" regarding grants re the 2020 "sports rorts" case?
Withheld from disclosure by Morrison for political self-interest. Withheld by Dreyfus for political self-interest. Finally released by Albanese for political self-interest.

The US has withdrawn from the Paris Agreement (again), joining Iran, Libya and Yemen as the only non-signatory countries. Axis of something.

10/10. Mumpy, or mumpish. People influenced by the Mump regime, or actions that tend towards a mumpified world. "That's mumpier than I would have expected." "She's gone all mumpy on me." Supercedes: trumpy.

9/10. To mumpify. To become a mumpet. Nouns can be formed from this verb. For example: "Senator Fetterman is pretty far along in his mumpification." Or adjectives: "Yep, I'd say he's mumpified by now." Compare: zombify, zombification.

Voting indie? You'll be told 👇

"You're wasting your vote"

"You'll get dUtToN elected"

"Minority Govts cause chaos"

If anyone says any ONE of those things, they're a two party barnacle. Flush.

Voting indie in this election (if they're good) has never been more important
