So next time irrefutable evidence emerges against some gross paedo, he can just give up his title Mr and have Christmas lunch on his own and that’ll sort it, yeah?

Christ on a stick…rich, entitled people are a freaking abomination.

Chris Bowen taunts Dan Tehan following his visit to Nuclear sites in the US saying Tehan’s post-trip YouTube video shows “he did not visit any small modular reactors, advanced modular reactors or micro reactors, perhaps due to the small technical detail that none exist”🔥🤣 #QT

Can @tonyburkemp.bsky.social please explain to us why Thomas Sewell is walking around free in Australia?
He wasn't born here. He's a hate preacher. He's a potential domestic terrorism threat. I'm told there is a warrant out for his arrest. Why hasn't he been deported long before now?

So funny to see the anti-immigration protest planned for Foreshore Park in Newcastle had to be moved because the site was booked by a medieval revival crowd running around in tights and swords. Too backward and woke for the cooker crowd.

@danbourchier.bsky.social You may think it worth a moment’s return to “the other place”, Dan, to see the ourpouring of appreciation there, plus also considerable rage that the ABC is letting such a beloved journalist go. Heaps and heaps of good wishes for your future. Is it with SBS/NITV? 👏🔔

I’ve spent the past day and a half trying to imagine how fucked up you’d have to be about your own heritage having grown up in a really racist region of the world to threaten to punch someone for mentioning it in a really normal q and a for both your jobs.

Moira Deeming was a high school teacher for a decade. Fortunately, she is now a Victorian Liberal parliamentarian where, along with the other cookers, no one pays any attention.

None of this is about developing nuclear electricity generation.

None of this is about reducing our electricity bills.

All of this is about extending the profitability of the fossil fuel industry by delaying renewable generation.

It’s cynical, self serving and corrupt.

Zionism has lost all support, not because of anti-semitism, but because people are learning what it leads to.

I’m confused: did a memo go out this week saying it’s finally okay for politicians and the press to be outraged that Israel is starving Palestinians?

If so, I didn’t see the memo. But I did see the evidence of this war crime back in late 2023.

Where are we at? Starving is bad, bombing is ok?

CommBank’s $10M CEO backs a wealth tax over income tax. Housing reform too.

Murdoch press buried it. Business lobby’s panicking quietly.

Thanks for asking, it was amazing, I've never trekked in such a spectacular and dramatic country.
Trekked the Laugavegur trail in 5 days, then two day trips around the Golden Circle and the Snaefellsness Peninsula (game of thrones location)...just fantastic!
