“The point is Gough Whitlam was a giant, a maverick. Albo is a political flea, an unprincipled flea at that, who represents the ‘roll back’ times begun by Reagan and Thatcher. He is a Thatcher, a Blair, a Bush, a Morrison, all in one,” said John Pilger. declassifiedaus.org/2025/11/…

Today is Martinmas, the feast of St Martin of Tours, a major festival in medieval Europe which heralded the approach of winter with fire and feasting.
St Martin is the patron saint of soldiers, often shown sharing his cloak with a poor man to protect him from the winter cold.

World is changing. The @abcnews would have reported this in the old days.

With another mercenary recruited from Australia apparently killed in the Ukraine war, a bigger question arises.
We need some scrutiny of the 621 Australians documented to have fought or are fighting with the Israel Defense Force.
Because afterall, Australian law still prohibits committing or aiding war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide, no matter which country it’s being done for.

Any observer of politics can see the undermining of @JEChalmers that’s happening. The person who really needs to step aside is Albanese, author of most of Labor’s current woes: AUKUS; The imposition of overreaching Segal; overt support of Trump & silent complicity on Israel Gaza
More than a year after the Albanese government won a thumping 94-seat majority in the House of Representatives, disunity is breaking out inside Labor with a senior cabinet minister conceding Treasurer Jim Chalmers is being knifed from within.

"An ex Apartheid White South African Zionist, telling Australians they are racists is utter cheek"
@AlboMP admit you made a mistake and fix it
Hello @AlboMP and @SenatorWong Please do something, and if there are forces preventing you from doing something, then at least say something. We are waiting, listening.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is getting worse. Heavy rain. Flooded tents. The reality on the ground is heartbreaking.
The UK government will not stand by. We will not rest until we bring an end to the intolerable suffering.

Dutton walked out on the Apology to Stolen Generation, dismissed 2,000+ reports of sexual abuse and self harm of children in detention, invented a racist lie about African gangs and claimed it was “a mistake” to allow Lebanese and Muslim refugees in AUS
HOW is he fit for this? 🤬

Pretty strong message from 🇦🇺’s music idols telling the govt not to sell out their creative content to big tech.
Multibillion $$ foreign AI companies should pay artists to train on their content instead of our govt watering down copyright protections to keep them happy.

Sure! Tell that to the 21,000+ children & 70,000 + adults who “got in the way” of bullets & bombs intended for Hamas.
The world sees through this pathetic propaganda.

Instead of antisemitism propaganda, why aren’t you teaching our children about international law, you know, the law you are breaking every day as you refuse to speak out about Israel’s genocide in the occupied Palestinian Territories?

“US mid terms should scare the heck out of Albanese.”
Not sure why you don’t include the massive repudiation of Zionist influence in US politics, & consequent disapproval of Netanyahu’s war/genocide in Gaza.
That should scare Albanese, too! abc.net.au/news/2026-11-07/r…

If the Labor government or the coalition are looking for what's driving people away from the major parties, then this sort of incestuous, jobs for the boys and gals, circle-jerk is what's causing people's disgust.
Every day, every week - they scratch each others backs.
Peter Dutton, who has never spent time on any cultural or museum board, will receive almost $50,000 p.a for attending four meetings a year.
Yes, you read that right.
Former Liberal leader and Defence Minister Peter Dutton will join the Council of the Australian War memorial with the Albanese government praising his record on driving “major reforms” on national security and military readiness
