”we are incompetent at war”. And yet, Australia’s credulous leaders keep tightening the ties we have with these incompetents.

There aren't enough of us doing politics right now. We can tell, because our politicians are so contemptuous of the grassroots that they will sell us out without a moment's hesitation, smugly certain that they will face no consequences for doing so: pluralistic.net/2026/09/22/h...

See the latest Michael West Media report on BHP’s nefarious activities. As an aside there is a big clue as to why coal mines keep getting approved by Labor

Ray Martin was on ABC's #TheAssembly last night, answering questions from aspiring journalists on the spectrum. As a kid in the late 1970s I wrote to Mr Martin asking"how do you become a journalist". His answer was a 6 page typed letter on 60 minutes letterhead.

I genuinely think that Americans have little idea of just how outraged football communities in Europe are about the Trump-FIFA corruption. In countries where it is close to a state religion, the anger is palpable. It's on a par with Trump's insane tariff whims. It will not be forgotten.

What a dark day for FIFA. What next? A word in the ear of the ref? VAR teams siding with the US on margin calls? Something like this was always on the cards. The ridiculous FIFA peace prize awarded by the unctuous Infantino felt like the appetizer.

Last night my dinner table was full of family, with English and Cantonese sprinkled together. That's not a problem to be fixed, it’s the best of this country. Pauline Hanson wants you scared of dinner tables like this so you never ask why her billionaire mates get richer while your rent goes up.

Far left barely exists in any power assessment. It’s a manufactured threat from the big money to scare the petite bourgeoisie. We need our class consciousness back, understanding that to the mega rich, all of us are valueless dreck. But our class struggle must make no sacrifices of the vulnerable.

Dominance, with a hefty dose of testosterone. This is a chest-beating display of thuggish masculinity, equating "real men" with extreme physicality and violence, and equating "real American" with male heterosexuality. Patriarchy on full display.
