Australia has an opportunity to get out of the AUKUS security pact. We should take it.

AUKUS ties Australia ever closer to an increasingly volatile and aggressive America.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

Beyond fabulous ! The New York Times has got the whole inside story of the Murdoch family war. The secret court documents. The feuds, the hates, the fears. It’s a ripper. The miserable old prick apparently sees his wretched sewer of a company as the guardian of western civilisation…😁😁😊😂

The number of journalists writing columns about Dutton today like it's the first time they have heard about him is rather... disconcerting.

Oh my god - he used to be a cop! He thinks John Howard was great!
Cripes reading 90% of the media at the moment is just... well shit.

If you are lucky enough to live a long life you’ll also experience living with a disability. It’s unbelievable that it’s only then some people realise what they’ve taken for granted and who the world is built for.
