Senior officials brazenly admit to using disappearing message apps for Govt business - a clear violation of law (a crime under s24(1) of the Archives Act). The bureaucratic lawlessness that enabled #robodebt is alive and well. The AFP should act. #auspol

An interesting report unnoticed by Australian media👇. Is Australia assisting deployment of US B2 Stealth bombers in anticipation of Trump ordering further air strikes in the Middle East? The Department of Defence really should be asked about this at Estimate. #auspol

Like Senator Jacqui Lambie says, it's pretty simple.

Big Gas is Taking the Piss.

Labor and the Coalition want to frame the election as a choice between them. In fact the real choice is between the ALP/LNP duopoly that profits from the status quo and independent voices campaigning to clean up a broken and corrupt political system. #ditchtheduopoly #auspol

My husband then has to ask “But what does that mean in jackets?”

That’s how they should do the weather on TV…
“Today is a light jacket with a *fuck me it’s turned cold* jumper for the evening”.

Not sure how someone so clearly deranged made it to such a position of power but tbh it does explain a lot about the state of the world.

The Western press are waxing lyrical about the new Syria being born - but not a word on the US and Israeli bombs falling from the sky. Is there no bottom to the moral void of the Western press? www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

This really is quite extraordinary.

Dreyfus should have grabbed him on the way out of the committee room and sacked him on the spot.

But then Dreyfus was the one who thought him a great pick.

I am generally quite good at keeping my inner Trot under control but sometimes I do feel the overwhelming need to burn capitalism down.
