We're supposed to completely forget what's been happening in Palestine since 1948. That Netanyahu was associated with Hamas prior to Oct 7. That US/UK supplied billions $ in weapons used in a genocide. That Netanyahu could have done a deal prior 😢 #auspol

Been speaking about this for years. The Nats love a quota when it elevates mediocre blokes - how did Barnaby Joyce or Mike McCormack et al become Deputy PM? The leader of the Nats is always Deputy PM in a coalition govt. That’s a quota, gents. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Good point.
Something I've been banging on about for some time now:
Peter Dutton is a multi-millionaire property developer
He has been for all of his adult life. That's who he is & how he earns his wealth
For a brief interlude in his 20s he was a cop, yet he and our media have defined him by that ever since

The bottom 90% have got just 7% of economic growth from 2009 to 2019. The top 10% got 93%.
Our research shows inequality has been supercharged in the last 20 years, and it will only get worse unless we fix it.
A super profits tax is a good start, and cracking down on tax rorts. #auspol

Also just going to leave this here. Remember Mr Bolt used his strange obsession with my journalism to retraumatise a vulnerable victim (Paris Street of St Kevin’s) of a convicted sexual offender? Bolt was later forced to apologise when Paris stood up for himself. www.theguardian.com/media/2020/f...

To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.

This is a good piece by Sean Kelly but knowing most people only read the headlines, why create this misleading one? Is the SMH out to get rid of the Labor Govt? It’s beginning to feel a lot like it!

Albanese once called John Howard the worst PM ever. Now he’s trying to emulate him
If Anthony Albanese’s really lucky, historians will come to see his first term as his worst.

— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it

In particular the LNP
They are also responsible for the undermining of science, evidence and facts a ross the board.
That sums it up.
Govts/politicians, mining corps and their shareholders, who supercharged climate denialism of climate change, deliberately wielding climate chaos and global instability, putting profits over responsibility, are all responsible and complicit for the destruction of the planet.
