Live on unceded Gadigal/Bidjigal lands. Grateful for steady as she goes Labor government and for the checks and balances in our system. Praying the devil will drag Trump down to hell where he belongs sooner rather than later.

With her unhinged attacks on both the PM Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong, Opposition Leader Sussan Ley now has the same political credibility as One Nation's Pauline Hanson. She has utterly destroyed the political standing of the Liberal Party. #auspol #BondiTerrorAttack

Despite the mainstream media's fawning support, Oppn Leader Sussan Ley's spiteful attack on the PM and Penny Wong, AND her hateful divisive, fear-mongering rhetoric post-Bondi, she now looks like an entitled private schoolgirl cosplaying as Pauline Hanson. #auspol #BondiBeachAttack #racism

Q: Who boos a PM offering comfort & support to a grieving community?
A: A community who've been misled & manipulated by political opportunists and a shockingly deceitful news media.

Trump’s FIFA peace prize - everything about it stinks but Trump grabbing the medal from its box and putting around his own neck was the height of vulgarity and poor manners. Can’t wait for him to be gone.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted - guess I’m speechless at what’s happening in USA. But tonight after Bolton raid I’m wondering if it’s only a matter of time before Americans begin fleeing and seeking political asylum.
