Here's some suggestions:
1. Suspend AUKUS today. Say something about uncertainty in the American political system if you have to use weasel words.

They promised they weren't the Liberals.

They've completely failed to do that.

People remember Gough. He was transformative.

If anyone remembers Albo, it will only be for how utterly disappointing he is and how little he will achieve, despite the massive electoral advantage he has to do something.

Give me Gough, burning quick and intense any day over Albo's damp squib.

What's the point in being in Government if all you're doing is squandering it by doing three fifths of fuck all to improve the country?

Gough did something. Albo is squatting in The Lodge cosplaying as Prime Minister.

To be fair, that the 2A advocates in the USA haven't risen up to oppose a tyrannical government kind of proves that the main justification for their 2A is a pile of horseshit.

The current right wing are planning to fill it with TNT blocks.

Kenny is an awesome pisstake of the highest order, always good for a laugh.

Gough would be spinning in his grave to see what snivelling cowards the ALP are with this massive majority and an opposition who have all the presence of a gnat.

Genuine change could be enacted.

Got to say, it's a surprise that we've already got a PM with less spine than Malcolm Turnbull.

But here we are.

Yeah, well the US has bases all over the world, turn about is fair play.

Personally, right now, I'd love to kick every Yankee military person out of my country. Don't trust your government as far as I could throw your orange despot.

Oh FFS Albo, they're descending into fascism using a well known 1930s playbook.

I want a way more distant relationship than in the past, not a closer one.

The USA has a long history of not looking at evidence from outside its own borders. It's like it doesn't exist, and even if it does, it's never applicable inside the USA.

If they did, they'd know about gun control for instance.

If he was given the NPP, I'd hope that most of the previous recipients would hand theirs back in disgust.

It's really shit to do this to a player who's agreed terms and is waiting for the trade to happen.

Suspect they got to the bottom of the chest and realised they could only have on of Aleer or Ryan. That's on St Kilda, not the players.

The minute Robertson wasn't included as steak knives in the whole Starc deal, he was always headed for the Eagles rookie list. I'd say the Lions asked what the Eagles wanted to do on this one.

(Ironically, he could have been on the Eagles main list a couple of years ago had he wanted to)

I think the UK problem now is you can vote for Reform and get Reform, vote Conservative and get Reform-wannabes, or vote Labour and get ... well it would now appear to be Reform-lite.

(Yes you could vote Green, but with FPTP voting you have to vote tactically, or you could vote LibDem for whatever)

I'm not even that interested in rugby and I know of Pocock's sporting history. That *he's* the one booted from this club is utterly ridiculous...

Unless of course it's more about "Responsible Wagering" than actual sports of course.

If you can line up in three orderly queues in front of each of the windows, that would simplify matters.

Sitting down with the Liberals who believe the only good environmental law is one that's been repealed?

To be fair, we already thought that. But we didn't expect it to be proven so clearly and be this crazy.

I'm Australian, so it's a moot point for me, but I'd have loved the freedom of choice it would have given me in 1999.

Might have stayed in the UK or tried living in Ireland for a bit instead of coming back to Australia at the end of my working holiday visa.

Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 4d

THEN FUCKING KILL IT.

Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit) @electricrabbit.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah, reckon it might have to be a godfather of a one-sided deal (to the Eagles) to get that one across the line.

You wants it, you has to **pay** for it.

It's Geelong. Nothing to see here.

Been bigger fines from a medium size melee.
