According to Political Compass' test, I score just a fraction to the right of Ghandi... but I'm a little more of a libertarian!

I keep telling people, don't underestimate Albo. And yet they keep underestimating him.

Being compared to Shane is supposed to be some kind of put down??

HAH!

That overgrown clown needs to go back to selling tractor tyres or putting down short people or whatever it is he thinks he does well.

I'm sorry, marguerite I'm confused by who you mean by "our". I don't support that. Most Australians join you and me in not supporting that. I don't think the Australian government supports that. So I'm not sure who "our" is.

Del Sinistra MCM @delsinistra.bsky.social · 18m

Yep, Trump's all of that.

So I gather you want Albo to flush Australia's most important international relationship down the dunny (despite the untold damage it'd do to Australia) just because you don't approve of who the American people democratically chose to lead them?

I see.

Or racist ratbags. Where were you?

Del Sinistra MCM @delsinistra.bsky.social · 26m

It's obviously not racist ratbaggery to immediately put it down to insurance fraud. Obviously, right?

I'm just devastated. Someone petrol bombed the beautiful Turkish restaurant & butcher in my hood.3 people badly burnt. I've seen or read nothing about this. It's the 2nd time this has happened. This is anti Islamic behaviour. It should be up in lights. Why not. They do not deserve this. Terrorism.🤬🤬

Manchester, Sheffield and Edinburgh ... are they confused?

Given that Albanese HASN'T EVEN FUCKING MET Trump yet, much less kissed his ring, this is sadly just alarmist click bait from Michael West. Very Newscorpse.

I'm going with the idiot thing.

Reminding you all that the "idiot" estimation is being super kind.

We've been here 10+ years. Last night was the first one ever! Thankfully only little pea sized hail and it didn't last long.

I've had that many times. They follow... no posts or anything else in their profile. I think "here we go"... I follow back just on the off chance they're genuine... next thing is a DM.

That's a straight out block from me, thank you linesmen, thank you ball boys.

That was an image in my head that I didn't need. Please refrain in future.

Fantastic.

I can't think of two people better suited to each other.

They'll need a larger meeting room to fit both egos in the door, and they'll need to buy a bigger bar fridge.

And just like the Mark Latham debacle, I give it 12 months.

Barnaby Joyce in advanced talks with Pauline Hanson

A shock defection by the former Nationals leader to Hanson’s party would cause another headache for the Coalition.

12 months? Wow. You are far more generous than I.

The onus for stopping a genocide is on the party committing the genocide. The onus is not on the victims of the genocide to end it by meeting certain conditions. This should not even need to be said.

every asshole on this website loudly braying that elections either won’t happen or won’t be fair in 2026 had better be buying an inflatable costume and sturdy walking shoes for this saturday, because if truly believe that, you’re not gonna like what the next step is

Fairfax posting pics of every Israeli released hostage - while released Palestinians aren’t allowed to speak to the press - is very lopsided coverage

Thanks John, I haven't had time today to read up on anything (doubt I'll have much time tomorrow either). But it all just strikes me as having the feel of something of a beat-up. We shall see.

It doesn't appear to be some sort of stunning back down. The tax on unrealised gains was removed but an additional tax on accounts higher than $10,00m has been added.
The press turn everything into a horse race / winners & losers / "backflips" Taxing unrealised gains was problematic.

As hostages are being handed over to IDF, Israeli defense minister tweets about bombings to follow

Israel's great challenge after the phase of returning the hostages will be the destruction of all of Hamas's terror tunnels in Gaza, directly by the IDF and through the international mechanism to be established under the leadership and supervision of the United States.
This is the primary significance of implementing the agreed-upon principle of demilitarizing Gaza and neutralizing Hamas of its weapons.
I have instructed the IDF to prepare for carrying out the mission.

As caregivers for a ginger and white tom I was interested to learn recently that the white on them is not a colour but actually an absence of colour, kind of like albino patches. But you probably knew that.

And judging by polls and election results, that is precisely what the majority of the electorate want.
