Congrats to Jurist Navi Pillay for winning the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. But Israel's foreign ministry said the award had "legitimised anti-Israel hatred and prejudice". Hmmm… Navi Pillay must've used the 'Genocide' word at some point regarding Gaza. Sigh. Got Bibi's nickers in a knot. Good!

Gina is buying a building and we’re leasing it off her.”

The One Nation MP comments on the party’s new Brisbane headquarters, in an $8 million office block recently bought by Gina Rinehart. It’s not even a good deal – their current airport digs are closer to the jet she gave Pauline.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

“The upshot is we end up with the exact same global emissions profile but deprive ourselves of the substantial economic benefits delivered by our energy exports.” What "substantial economic benefits"? Very few actual jobs and substantial negative "benefits" in massive Deisel fuel subsidies.

"CMEWA chief executive Aaron Morey said it was “folly to believe shutting down Australian projects will somehow diminish global demand for fossil fuels”. Well, it won't. It will, however diminish Australia's contributions to them. And that, stupid people, is the point. Google this blurb to read it
