This is probably pointless, but could all the dropkicks who don't bother checking please stop @ing me in the misinformed impression that @petergarrett is the Midnight Oils guy? He's @pgarrett, okay?

Pauline Hanson has blamed the Government for letting bird migration numbers get out of hand, after a bird found in Western Australia was believed to have bird flu. "A lot of them don't even speak English" Full details: theshovel.com.au/2026/06/19/…

I was in Canberra & slipped just outside the Parliament building. I was amazed to be helped to my feet by Pauline Hanson. I said, "Thank you." She said, "If you really want to thank me then please vote for us in the next election." I said, "I landed on my arse, not my head."

I feel like it’s not asking too much for the president of the United States to know the difference between South Africa and South America.

Sometime, really soon, our Armed Services are going to have to decide if they will honor their oath to the Constitution or take orders from a fascist dictator. Really soon.

Lawrence O'Donnell, making the case that Trump is beyond just being psychologically damaged and is now showing signs of being insane. If you are in congress and not calling for Trump's removal via the 25th Amendment — then you are not doing your job. 😳👇xitter.cf/alluring_nyc/status/19…

Kimmel. Colbert. Suits against the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and 60 Minutes. Extorting settlements from CBS, ABC, and others. Blocking the AP's access to the White House. This administration is responsible for the most blatant attacks on the free press in American history. What will be left of the First Amendment when he’s done?

Heard today of 3 Australian tourists expelled from the US. Immigration at LAX demanded their phones, didn’t like what they found. Handcuffed them, held them overnight in some stinking room, escorted them onto a plane back to Oz the next day. STAY AWAY FROM THE USA.

BREAKING: Trump has ordered the removal of information on slavery at multiple national parks in an effort to scrub them of “corrosive ideology. This famous photo is one of them. Please paste this image everywhere. Don't let them erase history. Information at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, where George Washington kept slaves is also being removed.

“Political violence has become all too common & this is not who we are,”Speaker Johnson says- a statement of breathtaking historical ignorance. The USA was born in violence & sustained itself by violence. Against native peoples, its Mexican neighbour & for white rule in the south

In July 1939 the saintly Robert Menzies proclaimed that “ history will label Hitler as one of the really great men of the century" Ouch.
