None of these so-called religious folk can hold a candle to Father Bob.

I know which man was a true man of faith who truly followed the words of Jesus Christ. None of these religious nutters come close.

I know which 'man of faith' I'd give a few bucks to, and it ain't the RWNJ religious whackos.

Running out of patience with Labor’s caution
To fade away cautiously is an option but to burn out through reform, leaving an Australia genuinely changed for the better, is another. History suggests that only the latter is truly worth the cost.

Hmm. See both images. The protestors were just holding a "Put Australia First" banner in front of the "Jesus" banner attached to the truck. Same protest, same truck, same place, same time, but it's about freedom and digital ID etc. Nothing to do with evangelical cookers? Righteo. 😜

How ludicrous for Labor to cut $5 billion in public services during a cost of living crisis. Every six months the government pays around $5b in Fuel Tax Credits to mining corporations to burn fossil fuels. If Labor is going to cut spending, cut handouts to fossil fuel barons.

Facebook is a scam factory. Meta's own internal audit reveals 10% of their revenue comes from spam advertising - $16bn annually. Between 2020-2023 scam losses in Australia increased 249%. In 76% of cases, contact occurred on Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp).

We welcome APRA taking action in response to the Greens’ & community concerns for the massive spike in investor lending. However, this alone won’t cool investors’ stampede of the housing market. Jim Chalmers must direct APRA to use their levers to curb runaway investor lending.

Labor and the Coalition voted against me moving a motion to recognise Israel's genocide in Gaza.

After Israel has murdered thousands of Palestinians, destroyed Gaza, starved children, blocked aid, expanded illegal settlements in the West Bank, Labor still refuses.

We’re getting on with the job of the energy transition because the facts show it’s in Australia’s national interest. 

After a decade of denial and delay, the coalition continues to deny climate change is real and want to stop taking action all together.

Labor is the party of lower income taxes, higher wages and less debt, and the Liberals are the party of higher taxes, lower wages and bigger deficits.

This man’s values are based in power, greed and division. They are so far removed from the values of the Australian people.
We need a government that has the courage to stand up to him, reject his racism, reject US bases and forge an independent peaceful path for Australia.

Tragically I polished off “Bedtime Stories for Cricket Tragics” in a session this weekend. Felt like a ten year old again obsessing about test cricketers from a century ago.

Thankfully there are plenty more stories to come… starting the clock on Vol 2 now @finalwordcricket.bsky.social
