Unashamedly woke. I often wonder these days if we are (or ever were) the good guys. You know, trying to make the world a better place.

Twelve! New ones! All of which will be delivered on time and not be dependent on Canada becoming a servile vassal state of Germany.

After a peaceful night with no violence at the Bisalloy picket, it looks like Chris Minns and Labor have sent the so-called Public Order squad in. They are violently flinging protestors aside to ram their SUV’s through this morning. The picket holds.

OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.

Hanson: “(Voters) realised that we are the last hope of changing things in this country, to get it back to the country that we used to be.” Erm. It used to be just indigenous folk Pauline. Not quite sure how far back she wants to go.

The real news in the South Australian election is the collapse of the conservative vote. But from the reporting (in all of the MSM) you’d think ON is on the verge of political dominance. Seriously? A massive majority for Labor and a divided and irrelevant Opposition. That’s the story.

Our leaders must decide who they put first - Australians or Trump
Trump's bombing of Iran and our government's response shows rules only matter when America says they matter and Australia falls into line.

"This appears to be another instance of Palestinian voices being silenced.” So: - Who directed that Mashni's interview be deleted, and why? - Is ABC censoring views critical of Israel? - has 'Lawyers for Israel' or other Zionist lobbies, pressured the ABC Chair? www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/27/n...

ABC: “That year the High Court would also allow for the indefinite detention of non-citizens who could not be deported (Howard era) in a decision that would stand until November 2023, when the High Court found the practice to be unlawful (Labor).” If proof was needed of a politicised High Court.

So we avoided a recession. Not because of Labor’s highly effective spending (as opposed to the NZ conservative government cuts), but (wait for it) because of RBA policy. Yep, he said that. Is it a sackable offence to say anything positive about the current government. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

New Zealand's economy has slipped into one of the developed world's worst recent recessions, but it seems like the Reserve Bank of Australia is avoiding the same mistakes.

Dear National Anti Corruption Commissioner Paul Brereton: you misrepresent NACC supporters by saying we’re only interested in getting ‘scalps’. NACC is about exposing serious/systemic corruption via thorough investigation. Your role is all about public TRUST in government.
