This bloke is the original Canberra Cowboy, with a mighty big hat, but precious few scrawny cows to his name. He’s been drinking up and living high on the hog, courtesy of the Australian tax payer for years now. But the only election he’s ever likely to win in future is a nomination to AA.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Jess Wilson. The new young millennial face of the Victorian Liberal Party. But trotting out the same old pustulous shit that they’ve vomited up for decades. Climate denial, culture wars, attack the poor and help your rich mates to get even richer. No policy ideas. New generation, same old shit!

It’s once again become very apparent that Vladimir Putin is the very epitome of everything Donald Trump ever wanted to be. I wonder how long it will be before Trumpetbum’s arch political enemies will begin to start accidentally falling out of windows?

The toxic algal bloom is devastating for our marine creatures.
I saw plenty of dead things when I was at Bald Hill Beach last weekend, including this large southern fiddler ray (which I have reported on iNaturalist). I am worried for the migratory shorebirds that will arrive soon.

War?.?
Palestine has NO Army, Navy or Airforce.
So, it's Not "Soldier vs Soldier"
Actually it's "Soldiers vs Unarmed Civilians"
Soooooo, more of a Genocide than a war..

What a silly, entitled "in love with himself" little twerp Littleproud is. Clearly thinks he's smarter than anyone else. As for their new self serving slogan "Energy is the economy" what a joke from these dinosaurs who in 9yrs in govt achieved nothing for action in climate change. Hypocrites😡
Nationals leader David Littleproud says one of his “proudest” moments of his leadership has been to oppose the Voice to parliament. #Auspol. Yes because not wanting to give First Australians a voice is awesome hey. Arsewipe

LNP are predictably talking big on defence. They’ve done that before. Yet they’re the folk who spent $4B not buying French subs and presided over a long parade of other procurement disasters, including starting the #AUKUS shambles. No credibility. #auspol
Dutton plans two-step defence boost as Russia concerns linger
The Coalition is set to unveil its promised defence spending boost this week before Anzac Day, amid questions over Moscow’s bid for an airbase in Indonesia.

Almost immediately after DOGE accounts were created, login attempts began—from a Russian IP address. These weren’t random hacks. Whoever it was had the correct usernames and passwords. The timing was so fast it suggested that credentials had either been stolen, leaked, or shared.
