Two years on from the Voice referendum, I’m never going to forgive the Liberal Party for their cruel destruction of hopes of reconciliation for political point scoring. Dutton, Price, Hastie, Abbott, Credlin, and all weak, cowardly moderates who stood by and said nothing. A dark stain on Australia.

@albomp
So disappointing....
Backing Zionists, killing Palestinians, seems to be more important to our PM and his cabinet.
Praising Felon 47, a criminal, who is allowing his own Civilians to be attacked by ICE.
Pushing a bill for secret squirrel business, to hide information, from the Aust public.

Maybe she should bring her family to the WH, since that's the reason Johnson said the 2 Republicians were sworn in, because their family was there...
See if he will find another excuse???

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

For decades the propaganda of the US media (news, film and tv) has rptedly reminded us: "Israel does not negotiate with terrorists." In 2025, it's clear: Hamas are not the terrorists. Hezbollah are not the terrorists. Israel are the terrorists. #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

The greedy Oligarchy of the World.....
They will never lift a finger.
Will never be remembered by most as decent human beings.
Just selfish money hungry, hateful people, who died and couldn't take their money with him.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.

That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.
