It is incidences like this which show how ridiculous it is to pretend that Australia would have any choice in joining a US-led war against China.
Our militaries are so enmeshed Australian troops would be immediately implicated.

I can't believe people still have takes that are basically "behind the shit show, Trump actually has a shrewd strategy"
Fantastic. Well done. Great job, Angus.
A perfect example of how the governments hate speech laws can backfire: banning fascist symbols results in anti-fascism material being taken down

Old mate Minns trying to have it both ways...

As Keating once said: "the lowbrows are back in charge of the Liberal Party" #auspol #libspill
I think there are a lot of parallels between UK and Aus politics right now. Labor governments passing draconian laws and mainstream right-wing parties being replaced by populist ones.
Labour parties around Australia were formed because colonial governments kept shooting striking workers who were protesting. Chris Minns and his draconian anti-protest laws are a disgrace to the history of his own party. #auspol
Shame
So, the guy who helped develop the idea of encouraging people to go further into debt to the Banks with a 5% deposit now works for...Australia's largest bank.
Cool cool cool #auspol

I read Tony Abbott's history of Australia. My verdict? Surprisingly good.
Deeply flawed in interpretation, but an honest account of Australian history and revealing of how the conservative mind understands this nation's history.

Australia had a plebsicite on same-sex marriage in 2017 and a majority of Catholics voted yes.
So I feel like national political culture and context is the more important variable here, idk
Maybe in the US political context - but I know plenty of converts who were motivated by Catholic social justice teachings and consider themselves socialists.
Is this any different from previous US Presidents? Does Trump just say the quiet part out loud, or does he actually represent a new threat?

Withdrawing from an office that aims to prevent violence against children whilst refusing to release the entirety of the Epstein files...you cannot make this stuff up.
Solidarity with Crown Casino staff who are taking industrial action tonight. Fun fact, Crown is one of the most unionised work places in Australia.

Watching Pluribus and I can't help but feel that this show would be Kant's worst nightmare. All autonomy gone. But worst of all, the hivemind is a slave to its "biological imperative". It is incapable of acting upon reasons. At least it can't lie tho 🤷
Just some light reading 😅
Why, in 2025, does Australia still have release dates for books several months after they've been released in the US and UK? Are they being translated into Australian? What gives?
Also: the NSW Police authorised a nazi rally (“Abolish The Jewish Lobby” etc) in front of NSW parliament 6 weeks ago.
But it’s the bridge protesters calling for a ceasefire that are the problem? Srsly
I thought this article was pretty off base. I cannot see the Coalition opposing gun reform measures. Also, in the full context of Howard's remarks, he didn't actually rebuke the idea of tightening gun laws. Weird reporting tbh
Trump Third Term

Indeed - I went to China earlier this year. No visa required anymore. It is bizarre and disheartening that I feel safer travelling to China than the US.

Sixteen senators per state...good grief. Imagine what Tasmania will sending our way.
I hate how excited I am to listen to this
