The Minister for Everything was all along building his post politics consultancies and wealth while on the surface, pretending to serve the Australian people

And who in Australia is completely confident that similar things are not right now happening behind closed doors by our so called "leaders"

Maybe the Republicans need a nap? 😆 and a warm bottle of milk and a pacifier? Works for toddlers!

Oh but they’ll bang about their right to blah blah blah. The government can’t tell me what to do - except if you are trans, gay, atheist etc

Why do I have to pay $52 out of pocket to see a GP who is currently running 23 minutes late. 🧐

American friends take note. Australia’s avoided the far-right freefall we’re watching in the US. One quiet reason: compulsory voting. When everyone has to show up, the extremes don’t get to run the show. It’s the secret sauce in the democracy sausage.

Sorry you’re living in such a hell hole over there. Better get the EFF out of there before they slam the borders shut and you’re stuck in there like the citizens of China used to be and the citizens of the old USSR.

Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American.
In Australia, the Liberal party are right and the Labor party is left.

Exactly what I thought!

strongcuppatea.bsky.social @strongcuppatea.bsky.social · 1d

Yes so it appears. Mind you that POS
Mother Theresa won a Nobel peace prize - the vile Albanian who refused pain medication to the dying among other awful things. Also the question of where donated funds were funnelled ? To the Vatican FFS

Oh god the ABC giving more time to the Libs, this time the young liberals. How deluded are they? 2 non Anglo-Celtic members sprouting liberal trash, not realising that the libs don’t want or like non white people. Talk about being empty headed
and deluded. Fuck me.

Linda Reynolds has filed bankruptcy proceedings against Brittany Higgins.

As you’ll recall, Brittany was allegedly raped on a sofa in Reynolds’ parliamentary office.

On looking at the court paperwork, I see that Reynolds’ middle name is “Karen”. I didn’t know that.

Never in my life did I think I would be backing China - but seriously that moron has seriously underestimated the power of China, economically and military wise. Keep poking the bear USA and see where that lands you. Morons. #trump #usa #tariffs #china

I think IMHO, that the USA has swung so far right that the mid terms are irrelevant. The Republicans will hold onto their power anyway they can - either by fraudulent elections or refusing election results or some other means.

I just googled it, ABC iview does Geoblock. But I was unaware they upload to YouTube - good to know for when I’m next overseas. Thanks for the tip ✅

How about companies pay each person who's info is compromised gets recompense rather than a fine to the govt!

Look after the customers not the shareholders.
