"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

It’s been very underreported but the ABC has just gutted its arts and culture team. It will go down from 12 national arts, culture and entertainment reporters to 3. One of those will focused on writing PR for TV shows. It’s vandalism.

In thinking the way Trump thinks, we should actually be getting Beef for nothing, if it wasn't for Australian Vet Don Barr for helping find a cure for Mad Cows disease, there may have no beef anywhere. He should be thanking us.

A few “boring is good” responses.
Must be nice to just ignore climate, housing stress, welfare poverty, Gaza, Aukus, gas profiteering, enviro laws etc.
It’s the utter lack of principles that gets me. Like a govt can just ignore them… and the media largely goes along.
People notice, you know.

The United States just told (via tariffs) Australia to go and get f'ed.
We - Australia -should do the same. Close down Pine Gap. Close all US bases in Australia. Demolish the US fighter jet refuelling tanks in Darwin.
Get rid of everything American down under and send any US troops here home.

That's the problem with articles like this.
There is token acknowledgement that "climate change is now the major influence on yearly anomalies"
But no analysis of inadequacy of the govt's efforts, and the fossil fuel lobby's domination.
Or how the LNP would be even worse for future generations.
