Serious question as we head into campaign season:
Are there any left-wing political commentators employed by any major news outlets in Australia? Even one?

Rather than dial back on the gambling ads or the kickbacks to fix its integrity nightmare, the AFL is now demanding it receive the private info of every punter so it can track who they are.

We need to break the toxic nexus between gambling and sport.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

This whole thing was a deliberate set-up, and the real audience for it was not the American people. It was the global fascist movement.
No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

REPORTER: Would a Russian oligarch be eligible for a gold card?

TRUMP: Yeah, possibly. Hey. I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people.

Here we go.

Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship.

This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

the major parties have seen their primary votes fall from 96% in 1975 to 68% in 2022.

they had two options to arrest the decline:

1. win back trust with good governance & good policy
2. rig the system

tonight they chose to rig the system.

a dark day for australian democracy.

The great thing about being PM is you can make stuff happen if you want to.

This PM has a bill to help protect our democracy from lies and AI in elections + a path to get it through the parliament next week - but he’s choosing not to take it.

Not long ago, Trump’s son-in-law was praising Gaza as fine beachfront real estate.

Now Trump is saying that the USA will “own” the Gaza Strip & “create jobs”.

It’s hard to tell what’s policy & what’s distraction with Trump, but this certainly looks like property theft through genocide.

Hateful.
