OK, who made this?

With one question to the Prime Minister Sussan Ley reminds us why it’s a relief the Coalition lost the election. With one question we get a snapshot of what a Dutton govt would have been like. PS: You’ll enjoy the short video at the end of the article.

“Seven months into his second presidency, Donald Trump is no longer just bending truth – he’s obliterating the very concept of objective reality.”.

“As a non-American, it’s a sensitive question to raise: Is the United States falling apart? This concern is growing beyond its borders – not out of mockery, but genuine worry.”.

Is Australia a racist country? That question has been hotly debated since the Howard years. Those familiar with colonial history at the time of federation will say “Yes. We are. We were born a racist country.” . Here’s the evidence.

“A NEW NATIONAL YOUGOV POLL SHOWS the majority of Australians support stronger climate action – including setting a strong 2035 climate target.”.

Short and sad.

“How is it that an aesthetically unpleasant, inarticulate, shameless liar and vulgarian, a pervert, a needy, self-pitying whiner and delusional fantasist can deceive and manipulate a country?” By @geezer_grumpy .

“In an age where a 15-second TikTok claiming “scientists are lying to you” can outperform years of careful research, the tricks of misinformation have become more powerful than truth itself.”.

Australian politics is like a 24/7 election cycle. It’s all part of the daily rhythm – like background noise, it hums along regardless of who’s in power. You’ll see the patterns, hear the same phrases, & watch the same headlines recycled 365 days a year.

“A reckless enterprise bordering on criminal stupidity, the story of the Titan’s crushing demise as it descended to the ocean floor is one with many historical echoes.”.

“For too long now, people with plenty have been showered with tax breaks that pull investment away from productive purposes and rob essential public services of the revenue they need.” (ACOSS).

The judiciary is meant to be the final safeguard against political overreach. But under Trump’, even this final line of defense has begun to buckle. Trump has extended his influence deep into the courts, turning impartiality into allegiance.

Cringeworthy:. Rep. Anna Luna wants Trump’s image on Mt Rushmore… said that through 2 assassination attempts & “sham impeachment,” Trump “showed not just resiliency in character but been able to do what no other president has been able to accomplish.”.

‘The Government must immediately stop the Targeted Compliance Framework being used against people relying on income support, after the Ombudsman’s report today found alarming systematic failings in its administration.’.

A stark warning to Australia?.

Tim Wilson is at it again… accusing Labor of politicisation, distorting policy impact, prioritising rhetoric over substance etc etc … just the normal Tim Wilson stuff.

History teaches us that authoritarian regimes always start by silencing the press. What’s unfolding in America is no exception.

By 2:00pm, Barnaby Joyce wakes up from a nap in his office, declares he’s “ready for a comeback,” then promptly disappears into the nearest paddock. “A Day in the Life of an Opposition in Hiding”. This is brilliant.

“The US has a particularly interesting group of people now called MAGA supporters who have taken this, “Don’t trust the experts, the media, the politicians or anyone who disagrees with them” thing to a whole new level.” By @rossleighAIMN 😃.

“Whether it’s trade wars or electoral mapmaking, the pattern is clear: rules are sacred until they inconvenience the powerful.”.
