Thankfully the terrorist attack at the #Perth #InvasionDay didn’t cause any harm.
Why on earth would people want to cause Aboriginal Australians further harm?

I wonder whether right wing Australia will call out Trump for disrespecting Australian Troops in Afghanistan? Or just look past those comments like they did with the Epstein files? #auspol

Incredible how the Liberals tried to bring down Albanese, however ends up that the Nationals blow up the Coalition.
What a bunch of self-serving rednecks, traitors to Australia.

Whilst I like the romantic notion of “Cultural burning”, I can’t find any evidence of burning the bush here in Gariwerd/Grampians. Grasslands adjacent to the mountains, yes, bush, no.

Trump is utterly deranged. Australia should abandon #AUKUS immediately.

Trump: “Anti Govt protestors in Iran = Good”

Also Trump: “Anti Govt protestors in US get shot = Good”

What is the difference between the US & Iran?

We need a Royal Commission into the Jewish lobby attempting to stifle freedom of speech.
It’s identical to the ABC gagging Antoinette Lattouf.

Everytime the #EpsteinFiles are mentioned, it seems #Trump bombs another country, announces he’ll invade a country or kidnaps a fellow President.

Where is the hysterical coverage from Sky after Dark & Matt Canavan that Loy Yang A has been operating at less than 75% capacity since Christmas?

Clapped out old clunkers.

Double standards of white Australia:

Acceptable: Former Olympians calling for a Royal Commission into antisemitism

Not Acceptable: Usman Khawaja calling out the Palestinian genocide

Evolution of #Christmas

How did a Pagan celebration of the solstice turn into a middle eastern man being born evolve into a white dude that people worship, turn into some fat dude going down chimneys giving presents, now hijacked by corporations to make billions in selling cheap Chinese crap?

So right-wing nutters are demanding Albanese to resign over antisemitism.

Right wingers: “What are you going to do Albanese?”

Albanese: “Gun reform”

Right wingers: “Guns don’t kill people”

Easiest method to fix expenses scandal is give all politicians a budget for ministers, and budget for backbenchers.
Genuine expenses get refunded by committee.
Simple.
