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

It is rare to have to queue for long enough to need a bottle of water in Australia. The most I’ve ever waited to vote in 42 years of voting is probably 10 minutes. Mostly no waiting at all.

The other good thing we have is the Australian Electoral Commission. Independent of politicians they the electorates based on census data, and the voting procedure is the same, no matter where you live.

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

At best, it shows the US has a disproportionate population of credulous dullards. And yes, get rid of Trump and his cronies, but it will be a long time before the US is trusted.

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.

The work required for me to get my robodebt compensation is currently outside my capacity because I'm drowning in community housing policy failures I can barely manage. If I was capable of doing any of this work I wouldn't be disabled, which is why I'm in this fucking position to start with #AusPol

ALL of the aged care workers who looked after my Dad until he died in July were migrants workers. I’ve just come back from a 7 week trip into the outback. Just about everyone we encountered in tourism, hospitality and retail was a recent migrant. This woman is seriously dumb.

Georgia Tree worked for Madeleine King, then for Woodside. Maybe Labor could turn their minds to nominating candidates who aren’t shills for gas?
