“Only voters in Sweden have stronger anti-Trump views than Australians, who believe the president is unable to understand complex problems, not qualified to hold his job, and is unlikely to deal with major issues such as the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.”
Australians on Trump: dumb, dangerous and dishonest
A global survey shows Australians have some of the most negative attitudes in the world towards the US president.

The DNC will park a taco truck near the Republican National Committee's headquarters on Capitol Hill with a graphic of Trump in a chicken suit and the "Trump Always Chickens Out" slogan.

The truck will be there between noon and 2pm on Tuesday and will actually serve free tacos. 🌮

So @albomp.bsky.social used his thumping majority to deliver Peter Dutton’s gas policy. What a gutless nothing.

Proud day I guess for all those who worked in the campaign.

There is no gas shortage in Australia.

We don't need new gas wells. We just need to prioritise Australians over exports. #auspol

Tax gas. Dental in Medicare.

Who says no?
"Dutton went to the election saying, we don't have a shortage of gas, we're just exporting too much, why don't we tax gas exports. I couldn't agree more."

"Imagine if Labor were to tax gas exports & spend tens of billions on improving health & education."

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Academics and former journalists say Peter Dutton’s comments labelling the ABC and Guardian Australia “hate media” are “reminiscent of Donald Trump” and could backfire as the election campaign heads into its final week.

It was surprising and disappointing that the Liberal candidate for Kooyong failed to turn up to the local Friends of the ABC event this week.

It’s increasingly clear that the Liberal Party has less and less interest in a strong, independent media.

I can’t believe that because Nazis booed at the Welcome to Country, the discussion is now about whether Welcome to Countries have a place at all and if they’re “overdone”?

Dutton will say electricity prices have gone up $1,300. That’s a lie.

He’ll also say grocery prices have gone up 30%.
That’s a lie.

Weird move for the LNP to use a nurse (fake or otherwise) in their ads, given that aged care nurses have received a 25%+ pay rise under the current government.

A pay rise that they'd still be waiting for if the LNP were in power.
