I didn't vote to pay for someone to lie to me and cover up genocide by hiding behind religion. What a disgusting excuse for a human being this thing is!

The sooner Pedo45 is gone and the USA becomes pro Democracy the safer the world will be. I never thought as an Aussie I'd fear a WW3 where the USA was our enemy

Trump is aligning the USA with Russia, against Europe, just for his personal benefit. That’s not how alliances work.

New Aus film quotas a Hollywood con?

"of 4,500 programs "commissioned", 4,459 were acquired (3,901 were sports) .. a mere 1.5% of the streamers' Australian content is new programs"

The NetFix is in. Streaming production quotas no bonanza - Michael West
Is there a 'bonanza' for local film and TV producers in the new local content rules or is it just another Hollywood hustle by Netflix?

NO! WAY! The UK just said they want to dump this, but some bonehead wants to give war criminals a billion dollars from the Australian Public purse for no returns.
Reminder the CSIRO returns $8.80 for every dollar invested.
🤦‍♂️Dumb dumb and dumber!

“Full steam ahead” on #AUKUS rhetoric. “Full steam ahead” on the transfer of another $1B of Australian taxpayers’ dollars to US industry. Too bad the US Virginia submarine build rate is stuck at 1 per annum, nowhere near enough to meet the US Navy’s needs, let alone ours. #auspol

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne.... I hated stuff like this when the Coalition were in Government and I despise it now. It's all well and good to say it's within the rules. Change the rules. Labor use to attack the Coalition for abusing the system now they're the same. #Auspol
Anika Wells claimed more than $8,500 for family travel to Melbourne during AFL grand final weekends over three years
Exclusive: Labor’s minister for communications and sport has stood by her use of family travel expenses as within the rules

Why are electricity bills so high? The Coalition & fossil media say renewables. It's actually coal, gas and corporate profiteering. We look at the evidence

The former head of nuclear policy at the UK MoD, Rear Admiral Philip Mathias, calls out the “catastrophic” state of British nuclear submarine procurement & sustainment and calls for #AUKUS to be “cancelled now”. What’s your response Richard Marles? #auspol
UK 'incapable' of maintaining nuclear submarines as expert issues brutal verdict
Rear Admiral Philip Mathias has criticised the state of the Royal Navy's naval submarine programme, labelling it as "not fit for purpose."

First whispers of discontent for Labor are coming from within
Labor has the space to do what it wants – and what it wants, apparently, is to be the Liberal Party of the 1990s.

Overpaid useless government employee is corrupt.
I didn't vote to pay this liar a million dollars a year. Our bureaucracy is way over paid. What grift.

Because the public has no confidence this guy is not corrupted himself.
2 years, 2,000 employees, 4,000 hours each, 40 investigations but has had 1 prosecution and the work was done by the AFP.
It's a bad joke!
