So the Nobel Prize Committee goes with the democracy champion rather than the petulant fascist. With luck, Trump will be under one of his golf courses by time the 2026 prizes are awarded.

Albanese's creation of the NACC Black Hole was an exercise in cynical and political bastardry at equal to Morrison's Robodebt. It was designed to hide corruption, not expose it. An occasional bit of low-hanging fruit would be picked to create some stats but otherwise the corruption goes on unabated.

Well of course Albanese is going to brush off concerns. The gambling mob is just another group of lobbyists before whom he grovels.

In the unlikely event that Trump were to be given the Nobel Peace Prize the odds are that as soon as he has the medal in his tiny hands and the money in his bank account, Netanyahu will say, "OK, you got what you wanted. You owe me. Now I am going to bomb what's remaining of Gaza."

As with so many things, geography is not one of his strong points. Armenia/Albania etc. 😁

Trump to the Nobel Prize Committee: "If you don't give me the fucking Peace Prize I am going to invade and bomb the shit out of Greenland."

Norway shouldn't have to brace for anything. It is the Committee's prize to give and Trump has done nothing, nothing at all, to deserve such a prize. A week ago no one had even heard of the so-called Peace Plan he and wanted war criminal Netanyahu are now touting.

It's not just the sports club. Lobbyists of all persuasions crawl & slither through Parliament House like maggots in week old roadkill. Take their passes off them & throw them out. Any contact with lobbyists should be outside of PH & reported in real time through politician's official diaries.

It is and it can;t be made more obvious but the media doesn't seem to make the connection. "Nothing to see here." they say.

Trump and his cult are anti-Antifa. Here are a couple of fellow travellers who were also anti-Antifa:

Senator David Pocock raises concerns over the links between the Parliamentary Sports Club and the gambling industry lobbyists. Said club then bans Pocock from attending any of its functions. Sounds like QED to me.

Asked a question about the corrupt NACC he created, Albanese says, "The first rule of my corrupt NACC is that I don't talk about my corrupt NACC." Then he walked away.

He is also ordering the murder of people on the High Seas on his whim.

Anyone but Marles one would hope, though after more than 50 years I don't vote for them any more. There is a huge disconnect between the Parliamentary party and the rank and file these days.

Albanese has lived up to my expectations. A closet Tory, he will jump ship before much longer and join his mates on company boards and possibly and ambassadorship or two.

Palin was certainly dumb but she wasn't even close to being as evil as this triumvirate who wrap themselves in the Cloak of Jesus to carry out their vile acts and utter their lies.

A week ago, the so-called "peace" plan for Gaza didn't exist. Cobbled together by a wanted war criminal and a convicted felon, it is nothing but words unaccompanied by deeds. Nobel Peace prizes should not go to dictators that turn the military on their own citizens.

Those of us who have paid attention in the past know well that the final cost of the AUKUS fustercluck foisted on us without our consent will dwarf the original estimated cost and we still won't get anything for it except some outdated, expensive deathtraps.

Yep. Don't bring a feather duster to a knife fight. Fascism has to be confronted head-on.

Stick a revenue tax on them. 10% flat tax. Tax the buggers before their acountants and tax lawyers can exploit the myriads of loopholes that let them dodge paying tax.

Australian Federal Police to get the power to possess and use child sexual abuse material to target sex offenders on line. Because no police ever misused child sex abuse material, right? Right?
