This is the great benefit of the independents in shining a light for the public on how the clubby and cosy world of federal politics really works for the permanent insider gang that runs the place for their own benefit and the grubby lobbyists who keep the cash coming.

Labor in 2025 is the much the same as the LNP were in 1955.
Preaching endless growth, free-market dogma, dependence on the US for security, a property & resource-driven economy & a media & government overseen by News Ltd to ensure UKUS colonial occupation continues.

Labor has a narrow window to effect change

Australia is a quarter of the way into the twenty-first century and stuck on a trajectory that cannot last.

“Judeo-Christian” just means Zionist. Anyone who uses it these days is generally just referring broadly to white people who love Israel and hate Muslims. It’s a term used to distinguish the people we kill in our wars from the people who do the killing.

Pathetic, ill-informed journalism. Diagnosed autism rates have increased markedly because the definition of the condition has changed. It is now a ‘spectrum disorder’. But of course, the morons at Politico.com would not get that nuance.

What a debacle by the ABC. Its craven capitulation to shady lobbyists acting for a genocidal foreign state besmirched the reputation of a principled journalist, cost the Australian taxpayer close to $500K in damages & legal costs and further trashed the public broadcaster’s reputation.

Democrats’ ritual expressions of empathy over Charlie Kirk’s murder do nothing but prop up as legitimate political actors the Republicans who gleefully foment violence against their political opponents. newrepublic.com/article/2003...

Charlie Kirk and the Empathy Trap

Democrats will never be as cruel as Republicans after a political assassination. That’s to their credit. But it may not be to their advantage.
