What’s actually happening: Donald +flag is being given as tribute to Mawson Peak on Big Ben massif (our Active volcano). Volcano did not like the brain worm infested RFK, so we are praying this orange skin sack buys us 300 years of freedom from tariff threats and AI misrepresentation.

Why is it that religious bodies receive exemptions from criminal laws in Australia?
If it's a crime, it's a fucking crime. Fix this up, @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social.
NO MORE EXEMPTIONS. REPEAL EXISTING EXEMPTIONS. #auspol

One day soon, I pray we hear these precious words: "Due to the actions of the President of the United States we can no longer regard America as an ally. We'll be withdrawing from AUKUS and putting all US bases in Australia on notice, including Pine Gap ..." Then we'll know we have a leader. #Auspol

The US should not be allowed to make Australia complicit in nuclear war. 50 years ago Whitlam believed that and he was right.
It’s time to end AUKUS. Close Pine Gap.

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.
