Labor are out saying the hate speech laws are not as strong as they wanted.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social , are we “all the way with DJT”? Because I think we Australians are going to need a little reassurance from you that this is NOT your idea of a safe alliance either, and that being blu-tacked to a lunatic will not end well for us.
Thanks for your consideration.

It's weird to me that Aussie journos like myself, Antoinette, Antoun Issa, Joel Jenkins, Jan Fran, Caitlin Johnstone, to name a few, have been proven correct on Israel/imperialism over and over, & still ppl listen to the same Murdoch/ABC hacks that have been lying this whole time

This sounds like a deal Albanese will be enthusiastic to accept; I mean, just think of the superb bargain we get with aukus 🙄
So here's the deal to join Trump's "Board of Peace." You pay Trump $1 billion, and you don't get any input into any decisions. Trump has solo veto power over everything. He is also chairman of the board for life, not just the life of his presidency. And he has sole control of all the money.

Tough gun laws are such an embedded part of Australia’s national mythos, remarkable to see bipartisan commitment to them disappear with virtually zero backlash because the media is more focused on making sure the Coalition votes for Israel-lobby backed hate speech laws.

This ruinous debacle, born of cynical wedge politics, ties us to a corrupt failed state led by a madman - one divorced from the rule of law and which wants to use us as a landing strip for a war on our biggest trading partner. It is INSANE that there is no organised political opposition to AUKUS.

If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now?

Lol. A “peace board” where the only thing missing is anyone who might disturb the whole vibe by being affected.
No women. No Palestinians. No Arabs. No Muslims.
Peace, apparently. Just very conveniently and selectively distributed.
