Editorial: In the three months to September last year, Peter Dutton incurred $809,587.56 in incidentals. It is incredible how much it costs to do nothing. satpa.pe/eQzb4g8

All this bullshit just to hide the fact that he got outqualified by Lance Stroll 😭
🇪🇸🗣️ Alonso claims #F1 stewards has proved with their #MiamiGP decisions that "nationality matters".
Now he wants talks with FIA president Ben Sulayem "for the future generation of Spanish drivers, they need to be protected"

The AFL is 100% setting us up for Finlayson to get a small fine, undertake “education” & be free to play. No actual punishment & homophobia will be allowed to continue within a sport that’s one of the few professional men’s sports that’s had no current or former player come out
Mark Smith retweeted
Jeremy Finlayson should be suspended if the AFL is at all serious about stamping out homophobia and being a safe workplace for gay players. Not holding my breath, as they set the bad precedent letting Clarko off with a slap on wrist earlier this year

Pharisee of the day. #Australian Prime Minister @AlboMP feigns outrage over the Israeli murder of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom, when he has barely said a word about the massacre of 35,000 Palestinians and continues to send weapons to the genocidal #Israeli regime.
Mark Smith retweeted
I find PM @AlboMP's concern at the murder of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom by an Israeli airstrike disingenuous. "Completely unacceptable"?! Where was his concern as Israeli forces murdered tens of thousands of Palestinians?! #auspol #IsraeliWarCrimes #WorldCentralKitchen

A lot of people are awake to the blatant hypocrisy spouted by hollow politicians. Jog on @David_Cameron.

When a man goes to prison. For revealing the lies and crimes told by governments that are apparently built from the very foundations of truth, law and order. Shows the world that these governments are nothing more than gangs at the highest levels of our societies. @mi_shmash

The prolonged detention of Julian Assange in Belmarsh Prison marks a critical moment for press freedom and the principles of truth and objectivity. This situation raises concerns about the potential precedent it sets for the treatment of journalists globally.
Mark Smith retweeted
They are hypocrites, they believe they have the right to control the world in their own way but when something affects them they also try to manipulate international laws that are only applicable when they decide they are. #FreeAssangeNOW
Mark Smith retweeted
Yes Mr Cameron, how can you make such a statement with a straight face knowing that Julian Assange is rotting away in one of HM’s prisons? The double standards are as politically expedient as it is gets. You sir are a hypocrite.

#WeRaceAsOne : As an F1 fan, I am against SA & Harassment.
- I do not condone the suspension of the victim.
- I do not condone what the drivers said about it being a "noise" or "distraction"
- I do not condone drivers downplaying this matter in any sort of.
Women deserves a better place & treatment in this sport & I will continue to stand by that statement.
As F1 fans, we deserve transparency & accountability of these issues. These issues are not meant to be kept in the dark, these issues are meant to be talked about & is meant to raise awareness.

Formula 1 is the latest sport to show that they are incapable of handling allegations of sexual harassment. At the centre of this all is a victim who alleges she was the subject of sexual harassment by her boss, CEO, & team principal of Redbull racing, Christian Horner. 1/12
