In my view he is building up a goon squad to use ‘citizenship tests’ to stand over and intimidate voters at polling stations in blue distracts at the midterms.

Albo is clearly channeling Stephen Bradbury’s strategy for success.

There is meant to be a midterm election in 2026. If you wanted to discourage Black and Latino Americans from voting, wouldn’t it be helpful to raise doubts about election security and position a masked and anonymous militia at each voting booth.

Add this to his gutting of scientific and medical research expertise, his inversion of economic theory and his sabotage of the legal, judicial, media & communications institutions. He is clearly prepared to crash the USA for his own power and wealth.

Let me guess. Was he Indigenous???

I often have trouble navigating to find useful information on BoM.
Look at WeatherWilly’s localised interface for a comparison.

In Victoria (Senator Babet’s electorate in Australia) it is not lawful to carry a loaded gun in public & it is illegal to carry a gun for self defence.

Also, there is no Antifa organisation here & the Trump supporter is clearly lost on the wrong side of the planet.

Unbelievable Babet babble!

Is it the job of the Chancellor to provide oversight of the University’s strategic management?
Does the Chancellor have the necessary background to be able to assess the University’s financial standing?
Is the Chancellor fulfilling their duties?

Australia has been an effective republic since 3 March 1986. The only legal or constitutional job
of the king is to appoint the next GG.
Beyond that he’s just an Englishman we have to bow down before.

Make the GG the Head of State of our Commonwealth.

Just don’t say ‘President’ or ‘Republic’.

At the 2032 Games, Australia’s Governor-General could lower the old British Blue Ensign & present it to King Charles of England to take
home.
Charles could pass the mace to the G-G, our new Head of State, who would hoist our new Green & Gold Australian flag.
“We can take it from here, old mate.”

If trump ever does schedule a meeting, the appropriate response from Albanese would be to stand him up.

What’s to be discussed with US anyway?
They’ve set the Tariff, they’ve agreed to AUKUS, they are outlaws on Gaza & Climate Change and they’re entering a dangerously violent antidemocratic era.

The Friday afternoon before the footie finals must be the optimum time for our government to approve its most hypocritically shameful policies.

This is an approval to continue the disastrous accumulation of global heat throughout the next 45 years of my grandchildren’s lives.

What Bastards!

When you are deep undercover investigating pedophilia for the FBI, sometimes you have to do things you wouldn’t normally do, just to maintain your cover.

I’ve checked with the Swedes, they don’t give a Nobel Prize for War.

Australian houses are too big & too expensive because the boomer economy is slanted to multiply their wealth through inflated house prices & pocketing tax-free capital gains.
Why would a builder build cheap affordable houses quickly when they can make money more easily in the luxury boomer market.

Perhaps Watt and Albanese should reflect on the delay they caused when they tore up Plibersek’s agreement last year: the destruction that resulted was the disastrous NW Shelf agreement catastrophe.

Does he have the guts to put together a progressive government ????

After an electoral loss, isn’t it Labor policy to declare the leadership positions open?

Is Dean Winter really the best that Tasmanian Labor can do???
Isn’t there anyone else in this nervous Nelly party who is brave enough to step forward to lead a minority Labor government with strong progressive crossbench support??
Would the ALP really prefer more Liberal chaos??

WATT the !!!!
The Minister for Unvironment, & the Minister for Changing the Climate seem to agree that the NCRA is bad news.
They haven’t yet sacked the authors & written in the correct number with a Sharpie, but they seem ready to follow Trump into data suppression.
They can’t handle the truth!

I always assume that 9 out of 10 responses to any discussion of Israel are by bots and trolls. It is not possible to use social media today and to assume the correspondents are engaged humans.

PRODUCTIVITY: Our builders need to produce many more, compact, affordable homes quickly. Instead they are diverted to build fewer, bigger, bloated homes as CGT wealth banks
CGT needs reform to release tax revenue & for generational equity - but mostly because it’s wrecking our housing productivity.
August 12, 2025 at 11:32 PM
Half our building industry produces outsized trophy homes as CGT wealth shelters, tying up tradies & materials for years to finally house 1 or 2 (already housed) residents

Ending CGT discounts would encourage more productive investment, & free our best builders to produce more houses, more quickly.
