This is surely going to be Albanese's epitaph. In a week that Trump has shafted yet another key ally, Labor doesn't have the guts to stake out an independent path from a corrupt and Fascist regime. How the fuck does he look people like Mark Carney and Lee Jae Myung in the eye

Compare and contrast Albanese and Mark Carney in the way they are dealing with Trump. As if 'full steam ahead with AUKUS' is something we should be grateful for and not the embarrassing arse lick it represents. Albanese seems to have completely lost any political instincts he once had.

Jillian Segal is absolutely living up to her role as Antisemitism Envoy. Every time she says something like this, she increases antisemitism in Australia. I'm sorry, I have to be facetious about this or I will cry scream. Our community used to be respected. This makes us at best a laughing stock.
