@aoc at the rally for Mamdani Sunday in NYC.

“This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together…”

How "critical" are critical minerals and, what is the effect of Albanese surrendering control of our minerals to Amerika?

Has the global market for critical minerals now being rigged by China and Amerika at Australia's expense, thanks to Albanese?

Male politicians still in women's business

If we're worried about domestic violence and controlling men, perhaps we could start here

And it might pay to look at the effects of Amerika's control of women to see where male politicians really want to take this

Especially from the extreme right

Science in Amerika is dying

Which is, along with other indicators, a further sign that Amerika is declining - a long slow decline that competing countries .. China did you say? .. is quietly capitalising on

Great story on ABC about the campaigns of bullying and intimidation experienced by farmers hosting renewable energy.

Michael McCormack's response? "I'm not going to take any responsibility. I'm sorry. I'm just not". Absolutely shameful.

I do not want to pay for Pauline Hanson to go to Gina's birthday.

This is outrageous.
Gina gets enough tax payers money to pay for Pauline to come to her party.

How do we benefit from Pauline and Gina hanging out? How does this benefit Australia?

It's a sad day that corrupt politicians are now allowed to fly to Gina Rinehart's lavish birthday party, and then claim it as a travel expense.

Pauline Hanson was a special guest of Gina.

We can only assume that Gina must be supporting One Nation.
