I see David Speers could barely contain his glee at the thought of Mel Gibson or Jon Voight or Sylvestor Stallone being appointed US Ambassador to Australia.

Why do they feel so immune to the consequences of these shocking actions? I don't get it #auspol #insiders

Geez another puff piece on Hastie in the SMH.
Someone there really wants us to warm to him.
Not a chance in hell in this household. He’s a religious misogynist, not a leader with a vision for future for all of us.

Anthony Albanese has since stated that just because he is Anthony Albanese it does not mean he can influence Anthony Albanese, nor does it grant him special access to Anthony Albanese

Ronni🧂Salt @ronnisalt.bsky.social · 2d

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

NSW Premier Chris Minns has rejected calls to light up the Sydney Opera House in the colours of the Palestinian flag as he did for Israel. Says it could be “inflaming the situation”
Palestinian flag is inflammatory? This man is an absolute disgrace.

Barely anyone except Labor supports the government's FOI reforms

Those opposed to the tightening of Australia's freedom of information regime are gathering force, meaning Labor will struggle to drag its bill through the Senate.

1. In a devastating new Pew Research Survey, only 3 in 10 transgender adults report being accepted by their parents.

And only 1 in 10 say they are accepted by their extended family.

This is the lowest number ever found in surveys asking similar questions.

Absolutely.
The way Sky 🙄 frames it, they've all turned up with AK47s to terrorise the neighbourhood with. I'm sure all they want to do is care for their kids and live a normal life.
And dead right on getting them the appropriate mental and physical health supports.

The reality is most of the young women were naive and coerced into going to Syria, and their children are victims of circumstance.
Both mothers and children have been traumatised by their experience and should be given help to build healthy lives back here, both physically & mentally

ISIS brides?
I’m more concerned about the return of IDF soldiers, after participating in the slaughter of thousands of Palestinians! They are guilty of genocide at the bidding of the terrorist State of Israel! Will they be investigated for war crimes?

Yep. The ALP is just as dishonest and inefficient as the Liberal Party and I never thought I would be saying that. This Parliament is a sham (with a very small group of exceptions)

These costumes really ruin the optics of the propaganda videos the far right wants to make, which is what they're there for.

ICE will eventually target them and brutalize them to try to run them off, so they can get useful propaganda video. I hope they're prepared for that.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

The fact Wong thinks she can just snark her way out of this is a sign of how normalised the relationships between politicians and lobbyists have become.

Like, of course the PM shouldn't be president of a registered lobby group that sells corporate members access to politicians? No shit??

Crikey @crikey.com.au · 4d

Independent Senator David Pocock and Labor's Penny Wong clashed in Senate estimates yesterday over whether the Parliamentary Sports Club could be considered a lobby group, as reported in Crikey last week. The club is registered as such, and lists Responsible Wagering Australia as one of its clients.
