Are guys really that stupid to hitch a ride with the fading Empire of USA, esp under Mein Trumpf. China trade surplus is now $1T but USA deficit at $100B. US economy is kept a float simply by printing more & more US

@albomp.bsky.social Mein Trumpf openly called US Somalians as "Garbage" & African Immigrants as "From shithole Countries". Since you have said we share his values. No doubt you will also start calling our African Gangs in Australia ditto. @senatorwong.bsky.social Ditch AUKUS QUAD & cancel Nuke Subs

🔥Things heat up as David Shoebridge skewers NACC Commr Brereton for not even meeting the “minimum expectation” on conflict of interest after his secret IGADF role was exposed, as Brereton says he didn’t have to tell colleagues why he recused himself, but they “knew” anyway.🤦‍♂️💥

And now they're lining their pockets even more - none of these actions were mentioned in their election campaign - they are a disgusting government full of corrupt and useless people.

Australia’s federal system was built for another century. State parochialism, duplication and weak governance now undermine the national interest, writes Allan Patience.

Too many states, too little nation: time to fix the federation
Australia’s federal system was designed for the nineteenth century. Today it produces duplication, dysfunction and state parochialism that frustrate national governance and reform.

The cruel actions of Moreton Bay council are bad enough.

But if we were a just and fair society, this would not just be a matter of homeless people's right being violated.

Being homeless would itself be considered a breach of #HumanRights.

It's also a gross policy failure. #homelessness #auspol

Australia likes to believe in meritocracy. But an unspoken pecking order, reinforced through schools and institutions, turns privilege into entitlement and inequality into shame, writes John Frew. #Education #Inequality #Class #AustralianSchools
The pecking order: how class blindness governs Australian schools
Australia prides itself on fairness and opportunity, yet an unspoken pecking order shapes who advances and who is blamed for falling behind. In schools and public institutions, structural inequality is dressed up as personal failure, with shame doing much of the work.

If the Liberals are so incensed by the parliamentary entitlements rules, why didn’t they change them in the ten years they were in power? Maybe after Bronnie took the chopper ride, or Susssan charged the taxpayer her flights to buy a Gold Coast apartment?
