I scored average 8.5 on my IELTS test years ago and been in Australia longer than many of these obnoxious cookers. I was already paying tax here before they were born. I owe them nothing.

Linda Reynolds’ latest move

Imagine that a young woman is raped in your office. You are a minister and she is the most junior member of your staff. In the footage you see later, she is too drunk to put on her shoes. She walks ba...

I'm not implacably opposed to ID cards but if the UK government actually wants to stop refugees and asylum seekers being illegally employed, they should go after the unscrupulous employers who give them jobs either knowing they have no right to work here or not bothering to check.

The video guy was MAGA and going backwards is what they do. If Trump wasn't so physically unfit and suffering from dementia it would not have been an issue. Obama would have just laughed and sprinted up the stairs.

‘Blood on these walls’: Mudrat tears into ABC coverage of Israel-Gaza war during Triple J live set

Australian hip-hop artist donned a Palestinian keffiyeh and delivered a blistering critique of the broadcaster and its treatment of Antoinette Lattouf * Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The hip-hop artist Mudrat used Triple J’s video series Bars of Steel to deliver a blistering critique of the ABC’s coverage of the Israel-Gaza war and its treatment of Antoinette Lattouf. The federal court found in June the ABC breached the Fair Work Act when it terminated the casual broadcaster for reasons including that she held a political opinion opposing the Israeli military campaign in Gaza.

Good. Another cooker bites the dust. We must be vigilant, and not allow these people to infiltrate any level of government, as their aim is to destroy democracy from within tbe system.

I’ve just signed the petition below calling for the boycotting of Eurovision unless Israel is banned. Governments are doing nothing to end the genocide in Gaza and so it's down to people power now. Will you add your name too and then share it far and wide? Thanks. 38d.gs/qh_c

Sign the petition: tell the BBC to boycott Eurovision unless Israel is banned

This is big: Spain's state broadcasters have said they'll boycott Eurovision unless Israel is banned. We need the BBC to do the same to up the pressure on the competition's bosses. Sign the petition n...

And he is the bloke the LNP admires so much that they wrote a treacherous, sycophantic letter to the Republican MAGA scum about Australia recognising Palestine. Any other speech at the UN was a hundred times more professional than Trump's dementia laden verbal diahrrea.

Good, now get rid of all the Sky hacks and LNP operatives at the ABC and hire some professional journalists.

Was just re-reading George Johnston's "my brother Jack" ( also an excellent mini series on ABC) and was reminded what old-fashioned newspapers used to be like.

Apparently a meeting has been quietly arranged for October, which makes all the hysterical headline writers and LNP tragics look rather silly. No doubt they will whinge about the outcome whatever that may be. What they should be doing is criticise the unreliable sociopath in the WH, not our PM.

gratefulmac.bsky.social @gratefulmac.bsky.social · Sep 23

So it turns out a one-on-one meeting has been arranged for October. Apparently these things are organised on the quiet through diplomatic channels and not via hysterical newspaper headlines or through LNP style megaphone diplomacy. Will the media and the LNP loudmouths now shut up about it?

gratefulmac.bsky.social @gratefulmac.bsky.social · Sep 23

So by their standards it should be ok to call that grub a dog-eating, slanty eyed gook. In the name of free speech of course. Surely they would have a good laugh about that too.

How are all these totally demented people suddenly dominating the media and politics? A few decades ago they would have been locked up in a padded room somewhere and now they are becoming mainstream. They just talk utter shit and make stuff up and get people to believe it is true. It needs to stop!

Only the media an what's left of the LNP are obsessing about this. Most of the Australian public could not care less and detest Trump.

PBS is excellent. I often watch it in Australia. I am surprised the MAGA nazis haven't shut it down yet.

Cash's most recent hysterical outburst was beyond ridiculous. Zero concern for the plight of the Palestinian people
