During an illegal war, Albanese and Wong treat us like idiots Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong obsessively talk about international law, but go silent when Israel and the US breach it. It's part of a broader picture of refusal to be honest with Australians.

"There’s a deeply rooted hostility to transparency and honesty in this government, a calculation that every possible utterance or revelation, no matter how strongly in the public interest, has to be assessed against the metric of whether it’s politically beneficial for the government."

This is blatantly racist. Albanese breaking his own law.

“Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul - all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but always has been - arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul - it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.” ― Oliver Kornetzke

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

“Massive” war launched by a man with no plan. Again. Donald Trump is repeating George W. Bush's catastrophic mistakes.

"Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and hope for the best. It is the war of a Mad King."

That is a nice thought, but New York is a long way from here.

Yes we did. When our previous dog passed, Bella did not get to say goodbye and looked for him for a long time. We let Bonnie sniff Bella so she knew that she was gone. It was so hard to watch. She sniffed her nose, waiting for her to breath. When she realised she was gone her head dropped.

We had massive thunder and lightening here this morning. It started around 5.30 am and went until after 9 am

Bella was 16 1/2. Bonnie is 11. Bonnie did see Bella after she passed so she understands. She sniffed her and then her head dropped. It was so sad to watch.

One word unravels Albanese's week The prime minister was this week evacuated from the Lodge over a bomb threat and later got stuck in a tit-for-tat with a former Australian of the Year.

Very true - but that’s what happens when you ain’t doing anything else worth talking about.
Labor’s complete lack of meaningful activity is why we spend every week talking about immigration, Hanson and whatever dumb shit Albanese also said to Karl Stefanovic
