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.

True hypocrisy

It is starting to make sense now.. He might be right.. Why people vote Pauline Hanson? He explains it well 👍

Again and again and again and again.. She votes against helping you if you are a struggling battler 😩.. Gina is a bad influence most would agree #auspol

I love this. So true. Too many of us forget that we, or our ancestors, come from somewhere else. We are all Australian.

They are going to make those MAGA fuckers cry!😭

Yes I've noticed it and not surprised 🙄 well done Albo

Outstanding list of questions that any serious contender for government needs to answer to the satisfaction of the electorate. Failure to do so means you are not fit to govern

Compare the pair. Anthony Albanese and Pauline Hanson both entered federal politics in 1996. Same year. Same country. Same broad opportunity to leave a mark. Nearly 30 years later, here’s the comparison. Pauline Hanson: Bills originated and passed into law: zero. Her great parliamentary hits include: • a failed COVID vaccination bill • a failed burqa ban • a failed immigration plebiscite • endless motions, stunts and tantrums that generate headlines and but no actual law Her own political legacy is mostly framed around: • blocking other people’s legislation • forcing inquiries • leveraging crossbench numbers • complaining loudly enough that the media mistakes volume for achievement Parliamentary attendance rate: 53%. Which does raise the question if Pauline attended parliament a bit more often, might she have actually managed to get something done beyond scowling at modernity? Anthony Albanese: Bills passed into law in government include... • legislating the 43% emissions reduction target • 10 days paid domestic violence leave • cheaper childcare through a higher subsidy cap • energy price caps on gas and coal • household energy bill relief • establishing the National Anti-Corruption Commission • the Help to Buy shared equity housing scheme • banning foreign purchases of existing homes • wiping billions in student debt • full school funding reform • RBA reform • the under-16 social media ban • the Future Made in Australia manufacturing package • criminalising wage theft • lifting minimum wages for the lowest paid • delivering two consecutive budget surpluses • EV fringe benefits tax exemptions • aged care pay rises • support for nurse and midwife wage rises • legislated super on paid parental leave Parliamentary attendance rate: 83%. And that’s as the Prime Minister, with international travel, diplomatic obligations, cabinet management, legislation, party discipline, question time, and the small inconvenience of actually running the country. Compare the pair. One has spent decades in politics and can point to a list of legislation, reforms and institutional changes. The other has spent decades in politics and can point to a list of grievances, failed bills, lost crusades and media appearances. One knows how to govern. The other knows how to linger. One built policy. The other built a brand. One passed laws. The other passed through parliament just often enough to remind us she’s still there. Same starting line. Nearly 30 years later. One of them knows how to run the country. The other knows how to run a permanent one-person protest stall inside it. Compare the pair. General advice only. Please consider your personal circumstances before mistaking noise for achievement.

Just a reminder: when Barnaby Joyce joined One Nation, Pauline Hanson received a $100,000, 42.5% pay rise, due to One Nation getting enough MPs to be classified as a minor party. Yesterday, she stated that she would not support a 6% raise to the minimum wage.

Great little piece by @semi_rad.

So if they're using Aliens to distract us from the Epstein Files, is this technically Alien vs. Predator? 🤔

Billionaires who aren't elected shouldn't own Australian Senators.

Remind your daughters that in a world full of “get ready with me” influencers, here’s what else women can do: let’s not chase beauty, let’s chase purpose; let’s not chase admiration, let’s chase accomplishment.

Electing idiots.
