This vile toxic old hag, has used a peaceful children’s animation figure to push her violent and hateful rhetoric. Is there anything Pauline Hanson won’t exploit in order to promote her racist, bigoted far right agenda? This scum is a cancer on humanity. @PaulineHansonOz #Bluey

I watched Insiders today. I was entertained by an interview with the inimitable Angus Taylor, Rhodes scholar & opposition leader. Amazing how his explanation of major LNP policies can be so inarticulate, indeed, to the point of being bamboozling, confusing and incomprehensible.

On the left is Donny Trump’s ear in 2026z On the right is the ear of a man who was ACTUALLY shot in the ear. ANY QUESTIONS?

Has anyone seen or heard from Greg Hansford on the campaign trail over the past week? He's One Nation’s Eastern Vic upper house candidate. He failed to appear for his regular radio show last Tuesday with no explanation and rumours are circulating but none I'm happy to publish without verification.

Australians barely noticed Israel — until they attracted attention to themselves when their slaughter of Palestinian civilians reached genocidal proportions. “Australians are not being investigated for hating Jews. They are being investigated for objecting to a genocide. “Apparently antisemitism simply fell from the sky. Fully formed. Immaculately conceived. Entirely unrelated to anything happening in Gaza.” ‘Royal Commission into Antisemitism a “$131 Million Whinge” michaelwest.com.au/royal-com… via @MichaelWestBiz

What utter rubbish. He was questioned on his evidence. Are you really this ignorant about the legal process, James?
The Royal Commission is supposed to combat anti-semitism, not facilitate it. Cross-examining an Australian Jew about the actions of the Israeli government is an abuse of the process. It should not happen again and David Ossip deserves an apology.

Apparently you don't see his grift, or his oath-of-office flouting, or his preference for incompetent loyalists over competence and high integrity, or his 'expertise' at manipulating the news cycle (Bannon calls it 'flooding the zone with shit'), or his malignant narcissism. Why?

This comment appears to confuse Zelenskyy with Netanyahu. Zelenskyy has not been charged or convicted of war crimes, and there is no ICC arrest warrant for him. Claims about him secretly owning American mansions have also frequently been traced to fabricated stories.

So the president can’t control what states and cities do when it comes to enforcement of the law. Trump cannot do anything to the Mayor regardless. Trump is just such a bully and idiot who is a cult leader of a bunch of white Christian Fascists !

BREAKING: Over 100% of Australians stand by Barnaby Joyce’s dog. Yelling in rage at man’s best friend — a poor defenceless dog is not OK & unAustralian. RSPCA welfare check needed. Should Barnaby resign from Parliament in disgrace so our nation can heal? #auspol #barnabyjoyce

🚨BREAKING: The internet erupts in laughter after Trump declares, “Inflation is defeated. America is respected again like never before.” FACT CHECK: Groceries cost more. Rent costs more. Inflation is up. And the world hates his f*cking guts.
House Democrats will lower the high cost of living, make healthcare more affordable and combat GOP corruption. We must first throw extreme MAGA Republicans out of office in November. Join us.

Adding insult to injury, Albanese's tax payer funded zionist defender now decides she will attack the ABC & SBS because they don't positively promote israels genocidal agenda. Albanese may dismiss the genocide but decent humans who dont support murdering kids will call it out.
Jillian Segal has zero interest in preventing antisemitism. Her sole goal is to advance Israel's control over both Australian Federal and state governments. Her priority is to advance the Zionist agenda. It is blatantly obvious she is an agent of a foreign power. #auspol #Israel

The Antisemitism Royal Commission is an Israel absolution benevolence bureau. Jillian Segal attacking the ABC and SBS is a step too far. Segal mistakenly believes it is an Aunty Semitism Commission. Hey @AlboMP are you really comfortable with her as Anti Semitism Special Envoy ?

Private actors are increasing their control over energy, fuel, housing, food, healthcare & education. They drive inflation & drag down living standards. We need price controls & more public delivery to protect Australia from inflation & profiteering. My op-ed w @smh #auspol

Australians should be planting more of these trees, there are so many varieties of the native Allocasuarina ( She-oak) tree, find out which is native to your region. They are the main food source of the endangered black Cockatoo. Great wind break for nature strips too
