Australia’s relationship with our closest neighbours matters.

There’s so much potential in our region. Working together, we can make the most of it.

That’s why I’ve come to Timor-Leste today, and got straight to work meeting with President Ramos-Horta.

This is what happens when you set up a Liberal Party to only have Abbott, Morrison, Dutton types.

Anyone slightly sane either leaves or loses and you are left with Sussan and Hastie and people like Ted O’Brien.

Well done Johnny. Your dream is achieved!
It would be the perfect end to Howard’s destruction of the Menzies Liberal Party.
I am quite happy if most of the Nats and a handful of Libs defect to One Nation, and in doing so destroy the orthodoxy of Australian political conservatism (including the Libs and the Nats) that has already been effectively dead for a decade. Too many on the left will shit the bed. You don't need to

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

New tariff just dropped.

Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.

It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.

(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

Liberal election autopsy delayed after Dutton suggests report defamatory
The report, co-authored by Liberal grandees Pru Goward and Nick Minchin, has now been sent to a legal team to ensure it is watertight while the party decides what step to take next.

Australians are deciding USA is not a place to visit… oddly they still are going to Canada. Almost like there is something specific about the US..

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

It's now been four weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Libs: Labor must immediately pass a hate bill.

Labor: Sorry it took a few weeks, wanted to get it right. Here's the hate bill.

Libs: WHOA that was too fast! And it includes the kind of hate we like! We reject it! #auspol

ICE has essentially been granted permission to kill without the fear of facing consequences.

You’ll notice that the American state media have completely ignored the fact that bribe for hire Pam Bondi hasn’t released a single Epstein file in 2026. They have deliberately and continuously failed humanity.

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks:

- Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela
- ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota
- Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally
- Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

I know there’s a lot going on here but our disgraced, addled leader is also encouraging and enabling escalating genocide in Ukraine.
Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, remains in total darkness yet another day after a brutal Russian attack. No heat, electricity, or water. Subzero temperatures. The mayor has advised people to leave the city if they can to try to avoid mass deaths. This is Russian genocide of Ukrainians.
