I suspect Angus Taylor is already sizing up Peter Dutton's office...

It's a sad indictment on the electorate, but Albanese should be hoping the discourse around Welcome to Country fades.

Dutton is appealing to the worst inclinations of Australians, because he knows its fertile ground.

If Labor is smart, they won't give it any more wind.

Pope Francis seemed like a reasonable person, I'm just confused why we're compelled to celebrate a pope for the fact he had the same standard of morality and humility we would expect from our friends.

Is this how low our expectations are from the religiously devout,?

I wonder if Albanese strategically waited for Trump to be sworn in before calling an election? If so... it was genius.

The defining question when future historians debate this era will be whether Trump was the cause of America's decline, or the inevitable result of it.

At this point, the USA is basically the "O'Doyle Rules" family from Bill Maddison

One of the most challenging aspects of the historical moment we've found ourselves in is somehow understanding the psychology of any person who looks at Trump and fails to immediately see the objectionable character that most of the world cannot look past.

There is absolutely no doubt whose side this administration is on... and it's not ours.

Zelensky refused to leave Kyiv while the Russian army was on the outskirts of the city, and credible reports had been received that he was to be executed on sight.

Trump and Vance thought they could intimidate him.

Hmm... I wonder if there's a reason these specific nations spend so much more on their military...

...probably nothing.

What's happening in the Congo? Here's the TL:DR
February 6, 2025 at 10:23 PM
Trump just announced that two million Palestinians will be forcibly removed from Gaza, and added:

"The U.S. will take over the Gaza strip ... create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area."

...it's about money. His money.

What does Trump's economic warfare mean for Australia?

Logged onto my alt Rugby Twitter profile, one that I kept exclusively for Rugby content. It was my retreat from politics, and unfortunately most Rugby accounts aren't here yet.

This was the first post on my feed... a paid ad no less.

Fuck I hate Musk so much.

Can't see any issues with the Chinese Government controlling an AI model...

Trump is forcing the World to turn to China...

If Xi is smart, he will resist his nationalistic impulses towards Taiwan and the Philippines and present a viable and moderate option for democracies seeking new leadership.

Just so we're clear, there's infinitely more evidence that Musk is a Nazi than anyone in the Ukrainian Government.

Everyone hates their performance review meetings.

Just once, I'd love to hear Trump or Musk speak about an authoritarian dictator with the same vitriolic contempt that they use for the democratically elected leaders of NATO allies.

“Elon Musk is many things, but he isn't an idiot.

He also spreads a lot of disinformation through his social media platform that is so easily found to be false….”

The Australian Government spent a total of $550million to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the First World War.

Spending $450,000 to celebrate 60,000 years of history is not a big price to pay.
