How good is it to live in an Australia where a foreign nation is deliberately starving an entire country of people and a South African born white woman is paid from Australian's taxes to defend the foreign-nation-that-starves-people and is also directed by our govt to tell us to shut up about it?

‘Anyone who cares about Australia’s security knows that AUKUS is a farce. It is a deal done to pay for someone else’s submarines. For Scott Morrison, it represented a chance to line up lobbying work after politics.’

Tear it up @AlboMP.

Donald Trump creates opportunities. Not in the conventional sense of genuine policymaking but through sheer chaos and destruction. His shameless, ricocheting presidency is likely the best opportunity ...

This is bullshit. He was a terrible leader during COVID. Remember when he couldn’t order enough vaccines on time from Pfizer. We had so many Vic lockdowns because we didn’t get enough vaccines on time.

Morrison also should be remembered due to horrible Robo debt.

look I've got my issues with Harvard (& not just as a Yalie)... but using their institutional power & wealth to fight back is unequivocally good. they should do more.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023.

They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."
Utah lawmakers’ own study found gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Will they lift the treatment ban?

The way Grace has started calling him "Anthony" (the way she used to use "Scott") 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

As she points out, Anthony was *eager* to capitalise on her 2022 Morrison side-eye, asking for a photo with her and refusing to criticise her. How times change 🙃

I noticed in the transcript the ABC host asked the PM three times about the t-shirt to get a response out of him.

News Corp has barely (if at all from what I've seen) done a story on it, so it seems much of the outrage about it is being driven elsewhere. Kind of strange.

The £45bn cost of Labour bailing out RBS is held to be a once-in-a-generation economic calamity that the nation barely survived.

Nothing to see here. Just ignore the stink of corruption everywhere but #NACC finds nothing wrong. This makes me so mad.

I think we need to start again. Start again with a new org that actually does the job "find/investigate/convict corrupt Politicians and bureaucrats" #auspol
🚨The deeply embattled National Anti-Corruption Commission has completed its first investigations - and in all 3 cases says no corruption found.

Refuses to say if Angus Taylor's "watergate" was one - despite 2 of 3 relating to "procurement".

This article includes an important point that is often lost: most of the extra tram trips replaced short walking trips (in many cases crowding out paying passengers trying to travel further). This is not a good outcome. #Melbourne #PublicTransport
