Here's some suggestions:
1. Suspend AUKUS today. Say something about uncertainty in the American political system if you have to use weasel words.

Not really. Van would block you if you criticised the colour of Albanese's tie.

Reckon that QAnon research she was doing drove her nuts - there was a time she seemed quite worth listening to.

Well it was the electorate of Curtin* 😝 - but I reckon you'd have to go a long way to find a sliced bread based sizzle in WA.

[I've certainly done sausages on bread in my life though]

Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 16h

The holy war has been started! 🤪

I did stints on multiple democracy sausage sizzles this year, and there was no sign of slices of bread anywhere!!

The West Australian in me has some concerns with what you're calling a "sausage sizzle" there. WHERE IS THE BUN? 😜

[-- Danger, possible holy war approaching --]

A correctly formed "sausage sizzle" with the sausage safely installed inside a bun, not a measly little slice of bread.

I may have had to growl at my five year old the other day for something suspiciously similar to (well exactly) that.

Inaction on climate change (MORE GAS!!)? Toothless corruption commission (with a dodgy af commissioner)? Pandering to Trump/Israel? Squibbing super changes? Propping up unsustainable housing price growth?

Yeah, that's the Liberals. Just that the Libs themselves have gone full One Notion.

Trust me, it's not just Canadians who are thankful not to be in the USA.

Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 1d

They promised they weren't the Liberals.

They've completely failed to do that.

People remember Gough. He was transformative.

If anyone remembers Albo, it will only be for how utterly disappointing he is and how little he will achieve, despite the massive electoral advantage he has to do something.

Give me Gough, burning quick and intense any day over Albo's damp squib.

Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 1d

What's the point in being in Government if all you're doing is squandering it by doing three fifths of fuck all to improve the country?

Gough did something. Albo is squatting in The Lodge cosplaying as Prime Minister.

To be fair, that the 2A advocates in the USA haven't risen up to oppose a tyrannical government kind of proves that the main justification for their 2A is a pile of horseshit.

The current right wing are planning to fill it with TNT blocks.

Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 1d

Kenny is an awesome pisstake of the highest order, always good for a laugh.

Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 1d

Gough would be spinning in his grave to see what snivelling cowards the ALP are with this massive majority and an opposition who have all the presence of a gnat.

Genuine change could be enacted.

Got to say, it's a surprise that we've already got a PM with less spine than Malcolm Turnbull.

But here we are.

Yeah, well the US has bases all over the world, turn about is fair play.

Personally, right now, I'd love to kick every Yankee military person out of my country. Don't trust your government as far as I could throw your orange despot.

Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 2d

Oh FFS Albo, they're descending into fascism using a well known 1930s playbook.

I want a way more distant relationship than in the past, not a closer one.

A Cuntastrophe

The USA has a long history of not looking at evidence from outside its own borders. It's like it doesn't exist, and even if it does, it's never applicable inside the USA.

If they did, they'd know about gun control for instance.

If he was given the NPP, I'd hope that most of the previous recipients would hand theirs back in disgust.

Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 4d

It's really shit to do this to a player who's agreed terms and is waiting for the trade to happen.

Suspect they got to the bottom of the chest and realised they could only have on of Aleer or Ryan. That's on St Kilda, not the players.

The minute Robertson wasn't included as steak knives in the whole Starc deal, he was always headed for the Eagles rookie list. I'd say the Lions asked what the Eagles wanted to do on this one.

(Ironically, he could have been on the Eagles main list a couple of years ago had he wanted to)

I think the UK problem now is you can vote for Reform and get Reform, vote Conservative and get Reform-wannabes, or vote Labour and get ... well it would now appear to be Reform-lite.

(Yes you could vote Green, but with FPTP voting you have to vote tactically, or you could vote LibDem for whatever)

Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 5d

I'm not even that interested in rugby and I know of Pocock's sporting history. That *he's* the one booted from this club is utterly ridiculous...

Unless of course it's more about "Responsible Wagering" than actual sports of course.
