Best of 2025: The Trump administration has yet to clarify its policy for the relationship with China. China is now truly integrated into the global economy. Be very afraid, but not of China. #auspol #usPol
Best of 2025 - Who’s afraid of big, bad China?
Be afraid, be very afraid. But not of China. To the contrary, the proper management of co-operative relations with China is essential to Australia’s future.

We got half a million signatures demanding a royal commission into the Murdoch press. It was ignored.
Can the Murdoch press get that many washed up swimmers and cricketers to sign up for a royal commission (that will be abused to justify Zionist encroachment on our rights)?

I'm coming around to the conclusion that #Trump is trying to create a major international crisis and then use that as a leverage to remain in power
And the Australian Liberal and Labor parties will fall in line like the good little US pets they have become

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.
It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.
This is not patriotism. It's subservience.
