The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN.

It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes.

Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice.

Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼

They are so pathetic. There isn't a business lobby in existence they can't cave to.

ABC is copying tabloid media's misleading (technically not unfactual) report style:
"A pro-Palestinian rally has gone ahead in Sydney despite a court order rejecting plans to protest at the Sydney Opera House."

"a court order rejecting plans"?!
Did the protesters disobey the court?! No. #journalism

Menzies hung on for years and years and years. His nickname? Do Nothin'. Seems Albo has adopted the same tactic.

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

Well I guess they’ve gotta show how conservative they are & demonstrate loyalty to their comptrollers so when they’re finally turfed out they’ll have guaranteed employment in the private sector. Must be stressful having multiple mortgages to manage …

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Albanese’s an insular, deeply institutionalised apparatchik who has spent his whole adult life in service to ‘The Party’.
ALP is his principal loyalty & focus - instead of people of Australia.
He is emblematic & stereotypical of the ‘political elite’ & lacks a scintilla of real world life experience

Breathtakingly so.
Just goes to show it’s all a charade when the hype about studying STEM really is just that.
Keep the masses focused. For what purpose!?
That’s rhetorical btw.
