Sussssan's recent foray into Foreign Policy reminds me of the Monty Python Fish Dance.

I have more to fear from Govts than the possibility of being confronted by an armed attacker.

In the 1st term, Albo's gov spent ~15 mths on the unasked-for Nature Repair Market, kicked EPBC National Environmental Standards to "an unspecified date" & killed Plibersek's nature positive deal

End the neglect & vandalism

I can think of no other social issue where men as a collective are more silent, more absent and more inactive than male violence against women. Male violence against women is a men’s issue.

Marr can be a effete self-important over-bearing smarmy c*nt. Saw that plenty of times on Insiders back in the day.

What a deal.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Four frames. Reporter with Albo. Frame 1: Reporter: “So, they get considerable control over our critical minerals sector…?” Albo: “Yep.” 2. Reporter: “…ensuring that we can keep paying them billions for submarines we may never get…” Albo: “That’s right”. Frame 3: Reporter:”…and we can ignore their slide into fascistic autocracy with no regard for the rule of law…?” Albo: “Uh-huh.” Frame 4: Reporter: “Astonishing.” Albo: “People often underestimate me.”

English Culture, the pros and cons
Pro - rugba leeeeague, british comedy (no matter how cringeworthy), Led Zep, Deep Purp, Motorhead, Who, Beatles, Stones etc. Attenborough (either)
Cons - shit food, warm flat beer, the feudal system still in operation, Tories, Labour, weather, Brexit

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

It sounds oxymoronic but it takes a narcissist to know another.

The Liberal Party has absolutely no ammunition left in the AUS-USA relationship battle. None. Ley sounds like a jibbering idiot now. It's truly is pathetic to witness.

This was foisted upon us by the pathetic NSW Liberal Party and especially the loathsome Brad "Health" Hazzard. Essential Services in the hands of Private sector DO NOT FUCKING WORK. And the public has to bail them out. Never again. #NSWpol

A majority of Australians continue to vote against their common interests by electing members of one party or another that continues to ignore them. As my (2nd choice) rep in Parliament, I just hope you do the right thing and not fall in line.

I used to think so but Hastie doesnt have the skills or personality to enthuse and gather the people around him. If he doesnt get his way, he goes off and sulks. He's self-centred. He's middle manager potential.
