An additional benefit in Australia is the integrity of the electoral commission, which ensures the seats are not gerrymandered in favour of one party.

Dr Fauci, is an intelligent, caring man who deserves respect and admiration for his work. It is disgraceful to see the way he and his family have been treated.

As an Australian, I don’t understand why US permission is required to aid Ukraine. I haven’t noticed the US seeking Australian guidance when supporting Ukraine (or not).

I have never seen American wine on Australian shelves and if I did I’d avoid it like the plague. Australia and New Zealand produce outstanding world class wines.

For someone who considers himself “intelligent” he seems be totally lacking in any self awareness, compassion, empathy or any shred of decency.

As a retired teacher with over 30 years experience, I am horrified that this could happen. All children should feel welcomed and accepted in their classroom- anything less is unimaginable.

New data confirms that Peter Dutton’s plan to cap renewables and extend coal will add hundreds of dollars to bills this decade, before a single reactor is even built.

Been talking about this crisis for years. It gets rediscovered every now and again but things only seem to get worse. If Dutton gets in many of these women may also face the indignity of compulsory income management.

There is one, and ONLY ONE, reason for doomscrolling here to see Trump's latest outrage. And that's to make sure it doesn't happen here. As P.Keating said of Dutton: “a charlatan”, “wicked and cynical” and “an inveterate climate change denialist”.

Any time Dutton talks about getting rid of ‘diversity hires’ the media should point out that a WCM (White Christian Male) hiring program, not merit, has determined who every single leader of the Liberal Party has been since it’s inception.

FFS! The US wants war with Denmark over Greenland? And Australia is in a defence alliance with the US? Hell no, we won’t go. Quite apart from anything else (like Trump is barking mad) the Danish Queen is Australian! www.smh.com.au/world/europe...

The US president reportedly became “aggressive” during the call and threatened to impose tariffs on Denmark unless Greenland was sold to the US.

Both Fauci & Milley stood up to Trump & consequently saved many lives. Fauci stubbornly stuck to the facts about Covid & Milley refused to follow Trump’s order to shoot peaceful BLM protestors in the knees! Their reward is to be left unprotected from the haters, stirred up by Trump himself.

Fox hunting is not a sport—it's a cruel and inhumane practice. Exploiting legal loopholes, hunters continue killing innocent foxes under the guise of "fun." 🦊💔 It's time to put an end to this outdated and barbaric tradition. 🐾 Share if you agree!

To those who still call fox hunting a ‘tradition’: it’s nothing but barbaric cruelty. Real tradition is respecting nature, not destroying it. Time to enforce the ban and end the excuses!

Disgusted to report we've uncovered the "1st Annual Coyote Classic," a coyote killing contest organized by Storm Mountain Outfitters out of Stettler, Alberta that promises big cash prizes to those who return the most coyote pelts, all at the expense of innocent animals. WTF?!! Absolutely abhorrent.
Despite the controversial nature of this contest, it has received little media attention, and we wanted to ensure you were informed. 
Should we receive any further information, be assured that we will keep you updated.

Every year, foxes suffer unimaginable cruelty during hunts. This is not justifiable in any way. We demand stronger laws and better enforcement to end this disgrace once and for all.
