Love what the Australian soccer team says about modern Australia. Seriously, watch this video, and you'll be cheering for them too.

Red card for Pauline Hanson if she's cheering the Socceroos' victory over Turkey. The Xenophobe in Chief would deport half the team & defund SBS. #Socceroos #PaulineHanson #SBS

🇦🇺 Many people forget that Australia are not just World Cup participants. ✅ Qualified 7 times ✅ Reached the Round of 16 twice ✅ Beat Japan, Tunisia and Denmark ✅ Came within minutes of holding Italy in 2006 ✅ Pushed Argentina all the way in 2022 🦘⚽ They may rarely be favorites, but they're always one of the toughest teams to play against. GO SOCCEROOS! 🇦🇺🦘🔥

So apparently, the @Socceroos are a bunch of nobodies; the worst team at the #WorldCup2026, and not capable of doing anything in the tournament. Very much looking forward to the next match against the US and hopefully silencing those loudmouths too. #socceroos

What a result. The Socceroos have opened the eyes of the football world with that win against Turkey. We are not football hillbillies. Other countries can talk the talk when they are going to play us but talk is cheap! Australia walked the walk!

Just an unbelievably great game from the @Socceroos. Gritty, but one of the best ever #WorldCup performances by Australia. #Socceroos #AusvTur

Almost can’t watch this anymore. Make the clock go faster. @Socceroos #socceroos #worldcup

Man, this is so tense. Let’s go @Socceroos. #worldcup #socceroos #ausvtur

BREAKING: Iranian state media, via Reuters, says the draft memorandum with Washington commits the United States to lifting sanctions and withdrawing its forces from the vicinity of Iran. The White House calls it a fabrication, then confirms most of the substance itself. Stay with me here, because the sequence of events deserves to be written down slowly. In 2018, Donald Trump tore up the Iran nuclear deal. The worst deal ever made, he said. Obama had shipped Iran's enriched uranium out of the country and put inspectors inside its facilities, and this, apparently, was weakness. In February 2026, Trump went further. The opening strike was pure Caracas swagger, a decapitation operation that actually killed Iran's supreme leader on day one. Regime change, he and Netanyahu announced, urging Iranians into the streets. The regime did not change. It promoted the dead man's son and kept shooting. Here is the detail historians will struggle with: according to Oman's foreign minister, who was mediating, Iran had already agreed to demands on dismantling its nuclear program before the bombs fell. There was a deal on the table. They bombed it. Then came three months in which the most expensive military on earth could neither win nor leave. Trump has declared peace at hand so many times the announcements have lost exchange value. A deal largely negotiated. A breakthrough within hours. Strikes described, in his own words, as a little friendly nudge. Meanwhile Kuwait accidentally shot down three American F-15s, an American missile destroyed a girls' school and killed at least 168 people, mostly children, which the president first blamed on Iran until the Pentagon's own investigation pointed home. Thirteen American soldiers came back in coffins. And while Washington flailed, your life got more expensive. The Hormuz closure is the largest supply disruption in the history of the oil market. Inflation is climbing on every continent, rate cuts are dead, and the IMF is gaming out a global recession. The entire planet is paying interest on one man's temper. Now the ending. The deal taking shape gives Iran sanctions relief, frozen billions and an American withdrawal from the neighborhood, while the uranium stays in Iran, under a mountain, fate to be discussed later. Which means the United States fought a fifteen-week war, at biblical expense, to arrive at a worse version of the agreement its own president destroyed for being too weak. He did not lose to Iran. He lost to himself, eight years ago, and it took two thousand dead people to deliver the message. Keep an eye on the signing.

A blue whale's poop can weigh as much as 4 tonnes, making it the second largest piece of sh!t in the world just behind Donald Trump.

Brilliant

I repeat: One Nation is a circus, Senator Hanson is the ringmaster, and Barnaby the clown. #Discuss.

A, truer word I have never heard before!

Have a cry #Queensland. #Origin

RT @ABCmediawatch: So, how bad is the budget? It’s so bad, people are fleeing the country! #MediaWatch

Will @SenatorWong be very/seriously/deeply/gravely concerned today, or does she get Sundays off ?

Thoughts? To me this is MADNESS. Can anyone think that, presented with two paths at an election - the Trumpian and non-Trumpian - Australia would EVER say, "Yup, let's emulate the worst US President in the history of the world"? #Seriously. #Auspol

The faux outrage over the Australian Government’s very reasonable changes to reel in what’s essentially welfare for the wealthy, led by the despicable Murdoch media, is really driving me mad. #auspol

"Death Tax" hehe ... brought to you by the people who didn't pay any tax for 10 years
