At risk of being rude, have others noticed the extreme irony of the National Party (self declared ‘friend of farmers’) breaking up the coalition because they oppose Net Zero while Australia languishes under extreme floods in NSW and extreme drought everywhere else? No? Just me, then?

Casualties in World War II:
Soviet Union: 26,600,000.
United States: 407,316.
And the Russians got to Berlin first.
So, no, the United States did not do "more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result 'on' World War II." That is just propaganda.

Catholic Schools should not be allowed to lobby parents to get them to vote Liberal. If you don’t agree with me, imagine the uproar if a public school emailed parents urging them to vote Labor. It is outrageous and unethical, and these schools should be totally ashamed for doing this.
At the request of MACS (Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools), Catholic schools have today sent this email to parents asking them to please vote LNP.

America is not a Christian nation.
America is a nation where the rich and powerful have reduced Christianity to just another tool to exploit for their own interests at the expense of the very people Jesus called us to serve: the poor, the hungry, the sick, the stranger, and the oppressed.
