In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies: a) Ever; b) Just before launching a war. FT has the scoop: ft.com/content/744ea8dc-6d93… In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

Seems troubling. More troubling would be the idea that the Administration might have bombed Iran without expecting this.

if, perchance, you wanted to destroy the liberal party, you'd put angus taylor in charge.

I desperately earnestly want to see a tsunami of Labor voters (who hold Labor values) vote @GreensNSW at the 2027 NSW state election. And to the Federal @Greens at the 2028 Federal election. Please. Labor is now right wing. 😔 🙏 #nswpol #auspol #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine

"We need to turn the temperature down." Albanese, you invited Israel war criminal Herzog to Australia for "social cohesion". You stood by as Minns enabled NSW Police to beat peaceful Palestine protesters. You foisted Jillian Segal on us. Australians won't be gaslit. #auspol #QT

The harsh new protest laws in NSW, rushed through in near panic, are an abysmal failure. Supposedly intended to cool things down, in fact they hotted them up, to boiling point. The cops grossly overreacted. “Social cohesion” got trampled in the gutter. Time for a big re-think.

Vale Jon Kudelka - a brilliant artist who knew the power of comedy in holding truth to power, and effecting change. His work showed a genuine and profound love for people and nature - often funny, often heartbreaking, but always incisive. Australia has lost a great today.

Must read article by @emfarrelly on outrageous, undemocratic recent changes to NSW Planning Act. Premier Minns in pocket of the worst urgera & profiteers, environmental vandals & developers. This analysis ignored by MSM, sucked in by press release architectureau.com/articles/…

And yet Apple TV+ on macOS Sequoia 15.6 might be the worst login experience I’ve ever had. Password loops. Restarts. 2FA madness. Been on Macs since the Mac Plus. Built studios, websites, ad campaigns — I live in this ecosystem. “It just works”… unless it’s Apple TV. Anyone else experiencing the same problems? @AppleSupport this needs fixing.

Trump says he’s respected around the world. The reality is he is regarded as the global village idiot. I can’t think of a better way to describe his global reputation. He’s not even a politician, really. He’s just a bloke who’s filling his boots with bribes and strip mining America to the benefit of his uber rich buddies. Malcolm Turnbull hits the nail on the head. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNdX4CNW9/

The organisation which runs Sky News Australia has a history of denying genocide and glorifying a military that slaughters children in their tens of thouands.

17,000 children have been killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza since 7 Oct 23. Today I joined a vigil held by human rights groups & the Palestinian community to read aloud names of some of these children. The Aus govt must take decisive action to end the genocide. #auspol #politas

There is a sickness afflicting America, like a cancer. The President is a malignant narcissist, liar and felon, surrounded by supine flunkies who will do anything to ingratiate themselves. It’s star-spangled Fascism in red, white and blue, and it’s going to end very badly.
They came after the wrong man.

P4 @australian: US citizens and Trumpists Rupert/Lachlan Murdoch go all out to humiliate democratically elected Australian PM ⁦@AlboMP⁩ over no presidential G7 face-to-face. Murdochs are vested foreign agents who discount our sovereignty/national interests.
