SNAFU. “The longer the implementation of a Plan B [for new submarines] is deferred, the harder it will be to ensure that any replacement submarines will be in place by the time the Collins-class boats reach their final use-by date.” The case against the AUKUS submarine project pearlsandirritations.com/pos…

De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser. I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more. I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class. I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families. I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant. And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.

Amongst all the noise, this prepared earlier came to mind: "Everything we take for granted is miraculous in its entirety. It is Society, all of us, that makes everything possible, including the mega-rich who seem to think it’s all their own work." thenewdaily.com.au/life/2023…

This needs to become a thing at Australian sporting events.

Is this the woman who was reportedly charged, or was it the police officer?

Why are you so nasty Jill? Shame on you. A Premier who delivers on projects and promises should step aside? Check your logic. It doesn’t make sense.

RT @JackieHansard: Pauline Hanson will never be Prime Minister. Not even close. Sick of hearing any talk about it 😂.

Prominent economist Saul Eslake demolishes LNP’s ‘aspiration’ myth saying their 1999 CGT discount failed to build a nation of entrepreneurs & shareholders, in fact, those rates only fell since 1999, while “disproportionately favouring richer & older Australians”💥 #auspol

A competent company would check their facts before going public. oecd.org/en/publications/gov…

Or you could check your facts with the ABS website? That’s also an option.

No fool like an old fool.

It appears that exposing charlatans in Australian politics is now down to our cartoonists and a few independent journalists - not the mainstream media. It will be interesting to watch Hanson at the #npc this week.

Doc put me on Webster Packs. The ultimate in laziness.

Well said! A story that keeps needing to be told.

For most of us, we can’t even imagine what Nestory’s journey has been like. As with all refugees. Displaced, homeless, full of hope but in desperate need of safety. A chance. An opportunity at life. With a dream and a ball, making a new life, in a country with a proud history of welcoming refugees, but facing its own forces of opposition today. Nestory didn’t just shoot the ball into the Turkish net, he struck a lightning bolt to the conscience of millions of Australians. How can we cheer one brilliant, skilled, explosive and confident young kid representing us, and we him, and simultaneously portray refugees or new arrivals as less worthy? It also should raise the question of how refugees come to be? Everyone wants to live a safe life at home, with kin, generations of family, not having to ask for a chance.. But conflict, it’s funding, the breakdown in international law, the weapons industry needing to be fed, exploitation of resources, religious tribalism and extremism, all create the more than a hundred million people who have fled their home. It is these drivers we must stop, and these causes we must never support nor participate in. Football brings everyone together and shows us what we share. Now, we share a love of a young Aussie kid who overcame every barrier put in his way, to reach the pinnacle of world sport. And that is needed more than ever.

David Chrisafooli has cut homes in housing crisis! I mean you can’t make this shit up. Wtf is wrong with him? ⁦@QldLiberal⁩ #AUSPOL

Disappointment guaranteed. I first reported on Hanson 30 years ago and remain convinced she has nothing to offer but aggressive and unrelenting self-entitlement, and a dismissal of the dangers of ignorance. Not since Bronwyn Bishop was touted as next PM………
