We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Your regular reminder that Sussan Ley is an empty-headed baying gorgon and an inflammatory idiot with the morals and political acumen of groin fungus.

The #SundayShot is up! Get the historical context on this week's Coalition chaos with our expert panel.

I KNOW they're not the Government but it's fascinating and useful to understand this background of the alliance and the implications of its potential demise.

I just hate this world where you get to believe whatever claim you want to believe by ignoring any fact that’s inconvenient to it.

That this behaviour is modelled by the President of the United States is a new era of darkness for us all.

Now every election the question to the leader of the opposition will be “what deal will you do with the National Party to be in minority govt?”

They are absolutely fucked.

Seriously though Labor, this isn’t the Australian people saying ‘well done Labor’ this is us saying ‘take your Trumpian bullshit and fuck off’.
Don’t lose sight of that.

The welcome to country was booed at the Melbourne dawn service.

This group of bad actors, "Advance", has been aggressively sowing hate and division behind-the-scenes against the Indigenous ceremony.

Advance is quietly funded by the Liberal Party. (ICYMI:)

Mega-millionaire-funded disinformation group “Advance” has declared the Indigenous “Welcome to Country” is part of a secretive plan by “elites” to “delegitimise Australia’s history”.

The youngest Australian to die at Gallipoli was only 14 yrs old , a boy soldier.

Anzac Day is a sad day and a day of reflection about the loss of lives.

Let us never again have to face conscription as we did in the Vietnam war

We cannot risk the war mongering Dutton or Hastie
