NO 🚫 false accounts - I haven't got any money to scam.
I think I'm more afraid of how this will be politised by the zionist lobby and shallow politicians who are in their pockets, and further enable the bigots, RWNJs and nazsties out there and suppress legit public opinion. #auspol

"But for ... Australia that has ... relied upon, the flowery rhetoric of "vague platitudes" ... this strategy document requires a much more fundamental rethink than simply quietly distancing itself from the wilder rhetorical flashes of the US president" #auspol

Trump's quietly released national security strategy is illuminating
When the White House quietly released its national security strategy late one night last week, it instead seemed to get lost in other news. Except, perhaps, in Europe.

Australia is so racist. You know that abusive comment "go back to where you come from"? Well, I really fiken wish I had somewhere to go back to so I can get away from "ozie" RWNJs and nazsties, bigoted MSM and pollies.

What the everloving fuck is this

They wonder why people think government is a sick joke

Nah, we won't stop funding fossil fuels, or stop gambling ads, or regulate AI. We'll do an unworkable and idiotic social media ban for kids...

Oh and here's a pile of cash for private equity because Tim Tams.

Why should we absolve SANTOS for their poor performance in their coal seam gas fields - "privatise the profits, socialise the costs" no longer. Not only did their shortfalls contribute to massive local rises in domestic gas prices, but the boost in electricity demand (~10% in QLD) ...

I’ve been looking into the under-16 social media ban.
It wasn’t driven by child-psychology or digital-rights research — the biggest push came from two media-backed campaigns:

• Nova’s 36 Months
• News Corp’s Let Them Be Kids

Both were explicitly praised by the government as key influences.
