“You have these famished, starving people. You promise them a little cheese.

“And when they get there, the Israeli army shoots them — gleefully.

In 2003, Anthony Albanese was among Labor MPs who wrote to then US president Bush: “What is to prevent other countries from following the example of our attack on Iraq, and arguing the right to preventative self-defence?” The letter has not aged well. http://satpa.pe/CsHYMSR

Actually what Americans just saw today was a prominent Republican US Senator announce he is quitting because he knows this budget is going to hurt millions of people and he was repeatedly threatened by the president and his cult for telling the truth about it.

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

So what seems clear from the intel, is that we probably should have reloaded the B2s, and gone for a second round. Instead the impulsive toddler was desperate to have a strong ending to the movie and declare a cease fire.

This is a show to him, entertainment, and he’s the “star”

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

People may not [yet] see #AUKUS as the costly and dangerous farce that it is.

But it's notable that the government's main spruiker of this dodgy deal - Richard Marles - is backed by both Scott Morrison and Joe Hockey.

That should be a bigly red flag. #auspol

The ALP needs to focus on the "powerless" aspect of the LNP.

The LNP literally do not matter.

Change the fricken country and leave them withering. Stop feeling like you need to ask the LNP's (or media's) permission to change things.
So sad. And yes the changes to super do defy everything the LNP believe in, which is ensuring wealthy people get wealthier at the taxpayers expense
