I want to know why right wing journalists do not have a boot on the throats of left wing politicians. (This is a metaphor by the way for anyone who is an idiot.) They should be forced to disavow far-left extremism. Every time an establishment right wing journalist questions Labor on the Helen Haines dirt sheet is a missed opportunity to hold them accountable for the ongoing rise in left wing violence. There is a clear opportunity to demand left wing MPs wash their hands of the deranged lunatics in their movement, but nobody is doing it. The MPs get off scot free once again. I want every right wing journalist and every right wing politician to ask Anthony Albanese and his fellow MPs a very simple question, "Do you disavow left wing extremism?" Every single Labor MP should be forced to answer that question.

Italian patriots take to the streets chanting, “We will remigrate you all.” Italians will not bow down.

Is anyone in fedgov paying attention to this story?
🚨DataRepublican @DataRepublican just confirmed the quiet part out loud: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker is explicitly named in the videos as one of only two governors willing to green-light the “illegitimacy memo”—a playbook for declaring a duly elected President illegitimate after the midterms so Democrat governors can claim they are the only legitimate U.S. authority. This isn’t abstract “resistance.” NSL4A (the retired military and national security officials operationalizing the plan) and Pritzker’s own Governors Safeguarding Democracy group have been working the same sequence of redlines, including treating lawful federal pushback against coordinated protests as proof of illegitimacy. Add the funding layer—his sister’s role in the Democracy Funders Network—and the coordination stops looking coincidental. Imported regime-change tactics, billionaire governors, and ex-military networks drafting the conditions under which states nullify federal authority: that is the actual document trail. DataRepublican has the receipts.🔥

His 59 advisors came up with this inexcusable coverup 🤦‍♀️
So…he thinks this admission of his dirty deed will fly? He hasn’t got a high opinion of Aus citizens if that’s the case.

This creature must resign today. But he merely sits at the head of the sick den of vipers called Labor. I’d like an election, as many of us would, but what’s on offer to change the status quo? The Liberal Party is a mere shell of itself. One Nation are flip flopping on policy and apologising over cartoons, and appear to be taking in more and more ex-Liberal candidates and staffers who will undoubtedly have their own interests in mind - something ON said they wouldn’t do. Is there anyone who truly cares about the future of this country and its people? Anyone?
The theft/misappropriation of our tax dollars must be eye-watering - are they all just fighting now to cover up the rort?

This 💯 👇 It is COMMUNISM.
The word "marxism" means nothing to normal people. The word "bolshevik" means nothing to normal people. The term "red-green alliance" means absolutely nothing to normal people. Y'all need to step out of esoteric academia and take a marketing class. It's COMMUNISM.

I’m asking the same question. Any suggestions for a non high tech person?
What is this and should I be worried about my website?

🚨 The attack on Helen Haines MP is appalling. It is however almost certainly a one-off. Don’t fall for the hysteria that political violence is rising in Australia. It has been 32 years since the murder of John Newman MP. In all that time there have been no other comparable physical attacks on Australian politicians ... until the shock of this week. Those who lust to control the free exchange of ideas are rushing to blame social media ... but since the advent of social media, there has been one violent attack on a politician. There is no correlation.

BREAKING: Here's the metadata for the dirt sheet Albanese shopped around against Australian MP Helen Haines in the weeks leading up to the far-left terror attack on her life. Metadata says it was written in Word on an Australian Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) system by the account "Lloyd, Joshua". Joshua Lloyd is Deputy Director of Communications to the Prime Minister of Australia. Great to know Josh spent 2 hours working on the document. Great use of my taxpayer money you bunch of fucking clowns. Thanks for toning down the temperature and uplifting the civility of our national body politic @AlboMP

If you’re a ‘young person’ or have children or grandchildren who are young and wanting to build wealth for a deposit on a home, you MUST listen to this. 👇👇
Why Labor’s base vote (young + working class people) is 20%, this short video explains it all. The policy of taxing their savings at > 50% is cruel and inhumane. The gaslighting of young people in 2026 Budget, it hurts them the most, is so appalling. 👇

🔥 A note for the Australian government overlords trying to censor us👇 “I believe social media has the potential to become a decentralized education system. Moreso than it already is. A place where you share your knowledge and interests from your own unique point of view, and those resonate with your personality can come to you to learn from. That is what I mean by “you are the niche.” You do the same thing you normally would when writing content, but the highest priority becomes your beliefs, opinions, and point of view.”

Threats against Politicians aren’t new. They kept me gainfully employed and quite busy for over 30yrs with the AFP. Today’s politicians are now losing their minds over threats to their personal safety, but it’s selective when it comes to who they consider needs protecting..
