Under a secretive billion dollar new deal, refugees in the Australian community are being ripped out of their homes and sent to Nauru.

"It's a wild escalation... Scenes similar to ICE'", says Ogy Simic of the @ASRC1

It really is the 1% versus the rest of us. The stakes couldn't be higher. And the enemy could not be more depraved. Still, we'll win.

To all the extremely obvious astro-turfers (thank you for your attention, it's validating 👋) in The Sunday Shot's live chat that want to see more "balance" i.e. right-wing bullshit, just watch.... I dunno, every single other show on TV? We are the balance across a decrepit landscape. You'll cope!

Excellent piece. The #Albo-tross grows more loathsome every day. Dobbing on Kevin, chortling about it - what larks, eh?

Maybe if spineless Albo had held that RC into the media that HALF A MILLION Australians wanted, Murdoch's creepy minion Clennell might not have been there to shaft Rudd.

I'll remind people again how much blood and carnage it took to stop Zionism's ideological cousin, Nazism.

40 million dead. Generations wiped off the Earth. 6 years of mass destruction. Biplanes and bolt-actions to cruise missiles and atomic bombs.

Many, many times I've wanted to scream in public, full of anger and despair as I am. But I can't, it's the fastest way to be labelled a terrorist or antisemite when you look like me. So what I do instead is read David, and people of conscience like him in the profession, and cling on to my sanity.

None of that, no. He said "that was a good interview" and we had brief chat. He said my Star Wars tattoo is "cool", that his wife is a big fan of Lucas' space opera, and that he only recently heard the Rebels were inspired by the Vietcong. He was real, smart, grounded, classy.
If Chris Hedges didn't tell you you're a piece of shit as he walked out the door, you got the better interview, Mr Milner. In one fell swoop, David Marr obliterated every single piece of respect I had for him. No mean feat really.
