Americans complaining about Qatar building a base on American soil have got to be tone deaf.
Do they really think that the citizens of all the countries where there are American bases wanted them in their country?
I doubt it. I don’t want American bases in Australia.

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record.

Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

Please explain to me, @senatorwong.bsky.social, exactly how a GENOCIDE committed with impunity by Israel with mostly weapons and bombs and other artillery provided by the USA "has been the greatest contribution to peace in the Middle East."

I'll fucking wait. #auspol #GazaHolocaust

We will never forget @albomp.bsky.social ‘s weakness and unwillingness to call the genocide out 18 months ago #auspol #freepalestine

Marns🌿🍉 @marnshibski.bsky.social · 1d

And Australia was and is on the wrong side.
Our leaders will move on but we will remember they put us in a position of complicity to genocide. That is unforgivable.

Are they for real?!?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Omg. They want to justify fighting people who think they are monsters.

They have ANTIFA Derangement Syndrome. ADS.

Their narcissism is so off the charts they are creating a problem to solve.

I mean….this is insane!

It's a conspiracy now: Kristi Noem says that Portland Mayor Keith Wilson and Oregon Governor Tina Kotek are "helping ANTIFA cover up terrorism."

"The document, known as an apostolic exhortation, said that care for the poor also meant “fighting against the structural causes of poverty.” Leo blamed “ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation” for deepening inequality in today's world."

'Papua New Guineans called Australian soldiers masta (master), taubada (big man), and bos (boss). Australian soldiers called Papua New Guinean people by racist phrases including boong, nigger, kanaka, coon, boi, boy and wog.'

The phrase ‘fuzzy wuzzy angels’ is far from affectionate – it reflects 500 years of racism

We’ve left behind most racist terms used on the Kokoda Track – so why does ‘fuzzy wuzzy angels’ persist?

OK I'm very confused. Is Maria Corina Machado a freedom fighter & beacon of democracy OR a hard right, Trump-loving, Zionist Netanyahu fan? I am seeing both and I simply don't know. #NobelPeacePrize

Why I was surprised when I saw UFO used to score points against me. I retaliated with USB and it was rejected.

Oh. Police will chase those who threaten social cohesion?

Can we expect they'll chase after:
• Advance
• The Israel lobby
• The Antisemitism Envoy
• Neo Nazi groups in our cities
• The Liberal Party
• Rupert Murdoch
