AGL sent me email requests to do a survey about my experience of AGL Gas supply.

They sent 2 requests but when I click on the link the survey form does not load and I am asked to try again 30 minutes later.

Regrettably I cannot tell AGL that I am satisfied gas comes out of the pipe as expected.

Perhaps Spain will accept all our Liberal and National Party members along with PHON, Brereton from the NACC, all the senior managers at Optus and Qantas, Gina Rinehart, Ralph Babet, Richard Marles, Penny Wong and the pricks who don’t clean up their dog’s shit (Spain’s got lots of them already).

Parts of Europe WANT migrants.

Spanish “…town council motion, approved unanimously and across party lines, calling on the central government to push forward with a stalled proposal to regularise undocumented migrants in Spain.”

FMD. I guess when you sell out to America and Israel you might as well do it in spades, no half measures, not looking over your shoulder or regret.

Once upon a time Trump is the kinda cretin @senatorwong.bsky.social would have despised.

I know she has a job to do. But kissing his fat arse, really…

um ... maybe?

then agen ... maybe not eh.

"Obviously, it's a matter for the [Nobel] committee, but this has been the greatest contribution to peace in the Middle East for a generation or more."

~ Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong when asked by Sky News if she believes U.S. President Donald Trump should receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

The mystery to me is how Labor rubber stamped Morrison’s AUKUS without the blink of an eye, nor public or parliamentary debate. Any grandiose scheme conceived by this country’s worst PM has to be questioned for integrity, usefulness and value. 3 things Morrison has none of. Gaol him over Robodebt.

IMO Labor hasn’t “lept” to the right. It is clear the right faction is now in ascendence but a RW govt does not provide extra paid parental leave and child care, investment in social housing, a HAFF, increase in the minimum wage, penal rates, tax cuts for all, free TAFE, better Medicare and PBS etc.

I agree we must be vigilant to our centrist liberal democracy being hijacked by conservatives but I don’t believe the US experience is coming here. Labor won in a landslide and while they are not perfect their social agenda is strong while the LNP got annihilated for its US style conservative hate.

Sadly I think you are right. Which reminds me, will tourists to Gaza visit Hamas Tunnels like tourists still visit the Cu Chi tunnels used by the Viet Cong in Vietnam. Having said that, the War Museum in Ho Chi Min City is one of the best. The war depicted from the Vietnamese side, is an eye opener.

I worked for a German MNC. We attended an Oktobefest Event. The boss spruking the outing finished saying “and you will have fun”. The unsaid response was “Jahwol” while clicking our heels.

…plus what the Media beneficiaries of gambling ad revenue donate to politicians and the largesse the Sporting codes such as the AFL, NRL and Racing industry who also receive gambling money lavish on hospitality for elected office holders. Our politicians are captured by their own self interest.

Yep, religious zealots are trouble in politics. They hide their prejudices the superior morality they bestow upon themselves by falsely claiming the virtue of their “beliefs”.

And a foot note, the trouble with Gina is there is plenty of her to go around literally, physically and figuratively.

I read a SMH item by wanker Peter Hartcher writing Hastie is waiting for the same electorate mood that put Trump in the White House to arrive in Australia. Hastie is going to waste the rest of his political life waiting. But if he’s given the Liberal leadership watch him try to bring it on himself.

Another example of Albo’s timid, weak as piss attitude to leadership.

Asked about banning David Pocock from the Parliamentary Sports Club and its sponsorship by gambling companies Albo is quoted as saying

“The amount of time I’ve spent on the Australian Parliament Sports Club this year is zero”

💯 China is electrifying faster than any other nation. Does the West consider how efficient and more effective an electrified Chinese Military will be? I am sure some think tank has considered it and shit themselves.

Good on Kim Jong Un, after 80 years of not making any mistakes he still needs to make North Korea even better in the future.

David Pocock one of the very few parliamentarians who are actually athletes gets kicked out of the Australian Parliamentary Sports Club.

Perhaps David and Zali Steggall could form their own Lobby Group oooops, I mean Sports Club. Tim Wilson need not apply to join the running division.

My new job recruiting for the ADF. 5th in a series.

The ADF is recruiting personnel fluent in Mandarin to be deployed with Australian and American soldiers, sailors and aircrew when the USA defends Taiwan from Chinese attack.

The jobs will be based in China translating for allied Prisoners of War.

The ironic Pope Leo…

The Catholic Church is one of, if not the most wealthy religious organization in the world. It’s clergy etc enjoy luxurious living in some of the best real estate locations to be had.

The faithful lap up the hypocrisy and wear their perceived moral superiority like a halo.

💯. I also imagine Labor has the approval of America to allow our ADF to recruit PNG citizens. I mean we have sold out our Foreign and Defense policy to the US. I don’t imagine Richard Miles farts without putting up his hand to ask Uncle Sam for permission.

Is Optus your telecommunications provider? They employed Gladys Berejiklian in 2022 who engaged in “serious corrupt conduct”, suffered a huge data breach also in 2022 and now multiple 000 outages causing 3 deaths.

There’s plenty of alternatives if I had an Optus account, I’d cancel it right now.

Trump is already counting his Nobel Peace Prize chicken before the egg has even been laid.

Of course we hope for peace and co-existence but there is zero trust at this time. The whole process is transactional and therefore prone to violations, mistakes and delays. Managing it is the challenge.

My new job recruiting for the ADF. 4th in a series.

Do you want to be a Submariner? Take orders from Uncle Sam? Go to sea far from home, months at a time, undetected?

Goddam Mother Fuckers wanted to join the Australian American Navy to sail the South China Sea
and the Taiwan Strait to see the sea.

Don’t only blame the Christian’s. Religions of all ilks are responsible for putting military on someone’s streets at some time.

Down through the ages, religion has used aggression and weapons in support of its often non-religious agenda.

They are all at it, it’s a fundamental element of faith.
