Just watched a fab film called Five Star Final from 1931 (d. by Mervyn LeRoy). You’d swear it was about the Murdoch newspapers. Eerily still
relevant. Well worth a viewing. Currently showing on Criterion
if anyone is interested.
Disgusting.
What? Does he really watch that? He probably thinks he keeping in touch with us common folk but who watches that crap?
I would never put ON or Family First ahead of even the Libs. ON is blatantly racist and Family First is anti-abortion. I will be voting green 1, Labor 2, and, sadly, Libs 3, as the other 2 are the only other options in my electorate.
The problem is there are not enough good independents, certainly not in my electorate, federal or state, and far too many Lib-lites in general.
Dept of Veterans Affairs confirms that despite having a report with details & images of Australian war graves desecrated & bulldozed by Israel — they have not referred it to the AFP for investigation or sought any legal advice on if it amounts to a potential war crime. #auspol
Back when Twitter was a thing I was often heavily criticised for criticising Albanese in opposition.
It seemed to me he held no real ideology or values and was too eager to placate Tories and Murdoch.
I was told to give him a chance in office.
How’s that working out for ya’?

Fuck this traitorous, warmongering, pedophile piece of shit. Let HIS kids and ICE go fight his bullshit, wag the dog war.
Is Barron up to serving ⁉️
Thr first OSS was hilarious.
Shhhhhh

Littleproud resigns after realising he would have to have meetings with Angus Taylor
"I'm buggered. Can't we just tell him I'm sick or dead or something?" he said to staffers. chaser.com.au/national/lit...
I just bought a Difficult Woman t-shirt 😀
I don't believe he hates women, it was a clumsy thing to have said about Tame, that's all.
I think you and I will remain at a stalemate about modern Labor. I now prefer not to align with a Party. Will decide each election who gets my primary vote although I am certain it will never be Libs, ON or any other right-wing nut-job party.
Just words. What about allowing the sale of component parts to Israel which we all know are used for weapons? Why can’t they just stop that? That is complicity. Until they do I will not believe they are genuine. And I won’t even bring up AUKUS.
The hypocrisy is big in this one.
Pauline Hanson accessed a federal government rebate scheme to install solar power on her Queensland home, despite demanding an end to public subsidies for renewable energy projects.

Nor mine, although I am no longer a Labor diehard.
Fair points too - except our stance on Gaza and Israel differs from the UN. They have condemned Israel's attacks on Gaza.
Katauskas 💥🎯.
Not so much a cartoon, as the news illustrated. #auspol

"why is Australia sending missiles to the Iran conflict?" asks Tom Lowrey, but forgets the most important reason:
It's because the Albanese govt's 'alliance' with the US and desperation on #AUKUS means they will do whatever Trump wants, including participate in an illegal war. #auspol
There has to be a better way.
"When [economists] say the labour market's too tight & we need unemployment to rise, they say it so cavalierly."
"One, because they know they're not going to lose their jobs."

So, Labor diehards knocked AUKUS when it was entered into by the LNP but it seems okay now Labor is just going along with it. 🤷♀️
I certainly don't take as gospel what a government defending the indefensible says. Actions convince me not rhetoric and excuses.
I don' listen to mainstream media but I listen to truthful, intelligent unbiased media. They give credit when it's due.
Missed opportunities. He doesn't have the guts, the stamina or the will to do anything groundbreaking.
With such a big mandate as he got at the election Albanese could've been an historically important PM, using his full chest to defend our multicultural Australia. I don't understand it, he was gifted the perfect launching pad to do amazing good 😔
Keating had the right idea. Disentangle ourselves from the US and strengthen our ties with Asia. Albanese clearly doesn't agree. I know whose opinion I respect more.
