If complacent Australians think this stuff disappeared because we voted out Scott...then they have another thing coming.
In #Rationale magazine, Clare Heath-McIvor writes on the Christian nationalist forces behind the re-election of Donald Trump in the United States and the threat posed by right-wing Christian movements to Australian politics. https://t.co/Q3RF5biVni

No matter how many times I hear something similar, I still find it absolutely wild to hear religious leaders saying "we're afraid expanded anti-hate-speech legislation will be in conflict with our religious teachings." Like, just straight to camera, completely unironically.

At what point do we start calling this the Morrison-Albanese Government? #Auspol

Something for Albanese to consider…
This was Keir Starmer’s triumph, July 2024. The red. In the ensuing 3 months his approval rating has plummeted by 49 points, to -38. The greatest post-election fall of any UK PM in the modern era. A landslide represents a desperate electorate. Not a triumph.

"So it turns out that exit polling shows Bernie Sanders was right about everything. For more on that, let's go to our panel of former Bush aides, New York Times columnists who got everything wrong, and DNC operatives who lost two elections to Trump." - cable TV news

Don is being much more polite than I would be
Don Watson on US lessons for Albo: "I'd advise him to move up to Coffs Harbour immediately and get a job mowing lawns... He had a lot of political capital when he got elected and he's burnt the lot with very little to show for it." Says Labor must work out what they stand for

If Albanese was a footy team, he'd be investigated by the AFL Integrity Unit for tanking #Auspol

Printing this post on thousands of leaflets and airdropping them over federal ALP HQ as they blithely prepare to lose the election next year to Dutton
All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point. Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and

You can take this to the bank
I am confident that the lesson the Australian Labour Party will learn from the events in the United States is to do exactly the same things the Democrats did and lose to Peter Dutton next year

You're not the boss of me, Simon Birmingham
I urge media to delete all published images of Penny Wong’s new house. High profile politicians face genuine security considerations for themselves and their families. Responsible media should respect those safety considerations in any reporting of the issues.
