This is a real question in the 2025 Australian parliament:
"Can Australua prioritise Christians over Muslims in the migrant intake?"

Murray Watt answers Malcolm Roberts’ Q on if govt can prioritise Christians over Muslims in the migrant intake, says they’ll stick with their non discriminatory policy & predicts LNP inc the “so called moderates” will “cave in” to ON on immigration as they did with Net Zero💥 #QT

Ralph Babet interjects “I do!”
Not just a racist, an openly hateful one too. Our parliament is a clown show of filth.

Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

In plain terms, the United States aligned itself with Russia against Ukraine and NATO. By transmitting Moscow’s surrender terms unedited and pressuring Kyiv to accept them, the Trump Regime effectively sided with Russia in the war and attempted to force Ukraine’s capitulation. It is betrayal.
Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.
