Isn't it weird how One Nation wants to deport immigrants who break the law, but so many of their candidates and staffers have criminal records? #auspol

A spa and waxing company valued at just $3 million walked away with nearly $40 million in federal Ebola contracts. Months earlier, an investment fund tied to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump had put roughly $30 million into its struggling parent company, XWELL, rescuing it from the edge of bankruptcy.
The CDC handed the firm’s XpresTest unit an $18.8 million deal for Ebola screening at American airports. The State Department added $20 million for outbreak response work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded in the country has killed more than 5,000 people this year. XpresTest has never worked with Ebola and has never operated overseas. Even its own CEO told ProPublica he is not sure the company can do the job.
Experienced organizations like Save the Children and the International Medical Corps were right there, with decades of outbreak response behind them. Instead, the money went to a company whose new contracts quietly boosted the price of its pending sale, a windfall that flows back toward the fund tied to the president’s sons.

Brilliant strategy by Russia: smuggle immigrants into EU, gin up immigrant hate on the internet, accelerate in advance of elections to get quislings in power.

AJA CEO Robert Gregory has admitted the AJA has special access to “senior people in social media companies” who remove restrictions after their accounts are banned for hateful or racist content—& that “ordinary Australians have no ability to do this.”
There you have it. #auspol

It was a bit jarring to see John Kirby on MS just now talking about how the second strikes Pete Hegseth has ordered on small boats could may well be war crimes… Here’s how he answered when I asked him about Israel doing a second strike on a @WCKitchen convoy two years ago

Billionaire cattle station owners have already DESTROYED an enormous amount of arid Australia for profit.
When will they be stopped? UK based Consolidated Pastoral Company wants to clear 4000 hectares of endangered Bilby habitat. A species already on the brink of extinction! 😡

“Russia is starting to attack Britain” what do you mean STARTING?
Brexit was Russia. The rise of Reform is Russia. Widespread far right bot activity is Russia. Male street violence is Russia. European election interference is Russia. Widespread division and chaos is Russia.

1/ I'll explain exactly how this happened because I'm the person at Forbes who calculates these numbers.
This is going to take some unraveling, but here's a spoiler: The president's answer here is nonsense.

I have a history PhD from Oxford and try to support all of my historical claims with strong evidence, particularly when regarding the president of the United States.
But based on a comprehensive review of 250 years of American history, it is simply irrefutable that Donald Trump is by far the most corrupt president in U.S. history when it comes to using the office to enrich himself and his family.
Here are the facts, and why there isn’t even a close second.
Trump’s own federal financial disclosure reported more than $1.4 billion in 2025 income from family crypto ventures, including about $635 million from his meme coin and nearly $800 million from World Liberty Financial. Reuters separately estimated that the family added at least $2.3 billion to its fortune from crypto ventures after Trump returned to the White House.
The clearest example of how Trump used the office came in May 2025. The 220 biggest holders of his meme coin were invited to dine with the sitting president at his private golf club. The coin jumped more than 60 percent when the dinner was announced. To get a seat at the table, you had to buy and hold a product that made the president money. Trump turned access to the presidency into a sales pitch.
The foreign dealings raise an even more serious question. Four days before Trump took office, an investment vehicle backed by a UAE national security official agreed to pay $500 million for nearly half of World Liberty Financial. The Wall Street Journal reported that $187 million of the initial payment was directed to Trump family entities.
Trump is clearly not the first United States president to be guilty of corruption, but the size and scale of his malfeasance put him in a league of his own.
Under Ulysses S. Grant, whiskey distillers and federal officials pocketed money by cheating the government out of liquor taxes. Under Warren Harding, Interior Secretary Albert Fall took bribes in exchange for leasing federal oil reserves. Richard Nixon had a personal tax scandal, but his defining abuse of presidential power was the Watergate cover-up, an effort to protect his hold on office. LBJ’s political connections helped turn a small Texas radio station into a family broadcasting empire.
By September 2025, less than eight months into Donald Trump’s second term, he and his family were roughly $5 billion richer than they had been around the 2024 election, according to Forbes. In comparison, a reasonable estimate is that all 44 other U.S. presidents combined added about $250 million to their wealth while in office, adjusted to today’s dollars. That puts the Trump family’s gain at about 20 times the estimated combined total for all other presidents over the course of two and half centuries.
The election results were, at least in part, a clear repudiation of this staggering and historically unprecedented corruption. Congress now has a mandate to investigate, follow the money, pursue the recovery of all ill-gotten gains, and enact enforceable safeguards so that no president can ever again use the White House as a vehicle for personal enrichment.

My latest article for @shot_au where I point out that Segal's latest 'report' was not requested by government or the PM.
It's simply a rehash of last year's report - with a purpose beyond its pages.
It's arrival has more to do with her strategy of filling media spaces with antisemitism angst now the royal commission is over, and also influencing the royal commission findings.
It is also a document designed to inflame culture wars and get people arguing and create political division - a classic tactic of conservatives the world over.
Nothing Segal says is new, (except of course for the astonishing claim she makes that all Jews in Australia are unbothered by neo-Nazis!)

A white man used a carriage service to threaten to target @MehreenFaruqi and attendees at a Palestine rally. He left the comment on my TikTok video. I posted about this yesterday, see my previous post.
I reported this crime to the AFP and the @IslamophobiaReg.
The @IslamophobiaReg acted immediately. The team was brilliant and proactive. However I still have not heard anything from the police.
I imagine the response would have been very different if this was a threat by an Arab/Muslim man targeting a pro-Israel/zionist event. There would be an immediate arrest and charges laid, wall to wall media coverage, press conferences and condemnations by politicians, police and lobby groups.
However when people of colour, Arabs, Muslims and anti-Zionist Jews are targeted….silence. The double standard is extraordinary and shameful.
I have also contacted @MRLMinRes and put questions to them, however have not heard back from them either.
