Kenan Yildiz not making the cut today due to injury is the best news Australia could have got. He is elite – Australia & Italiano in particular may have dodged a bullet. I say may because Yıldız still maybe a super-sub. #Socceroos #TurkeyVsAustralia [1]

Switched on the World Cup & turned it off again. It was too annoying listening to an American commentator banging on about “saaawker”. I can't explain why - it's just the vibe of the thing. For Australia vs Turkey on Sunday we demand Aussie commentators & Martin Tyler.

This hilarious. Trump is treating the Ayatollah vacancy like a safe seat pre-selection, vetoing Khamenei's son and insisting on a captains pick.

Trump backs Kurd invasion of Iran, demands say in new Supreme Leader https://t.co/4Q2pmTu0Zd

What Reza Pahlavi is attempting to do—by declaring himself Iran's "transitional leader"—is dangerous and will only destabilize the situation further.

Pahlavi has next to no support inside the country, as he is literally the son of the man who was overthrown by the Iranian people after years of brutality, theft and oppressive rule.

The Iranian people will not resort back to a tyrannical monarchy after freeing themselves of a tyrannical Islamic regime.

This would be a formula for disaster.

Diaspora Persian nationalists simping for the Shah are living in a nostalgia bunker. #Iran isn’t “Greater Persia,” Persians are 50-60% of Iran. You don’t “save Iran” with a centralised, chauvinist monarchy, you save it with democracy, & a broad coalition. https://t.co/xhyegCKeC1

Trump could use military to take Greenland
Since we’re apparently in a modern age of expansion and everyone’s annexing something, maybe it’s time for Australia to address the real threat: the New Zealand sheep cartel! https://t.co/gu5Tg26SoJ

Lots of hubris today about us easily winning our World Cup group. Individual player quality isn’t everything, but it matters. Squad values:
Turkey $477m
USA $159m
Paraguay $120m
Australia $32m
We’re stronger than the values show, but not group favourites.

When I write Trump might act, I mean he has the right under the Vienna Convention to declare Rudd persona non grata. That would be both humiliating and strategically damaging, Australia can’t afford to be seen at odds with its key security partner.

[The Hon Adem Somyurek MP @AdemSomyurek]

Someone needs to tell Albo that ambassadors serve by mutual consent, not mate ship. Keeping Rudd in D.C when Trump won’t deal with him is reckless. If Albo won’t act, Trump might. Mateship is not a principle of foreign policy, but realism & pragmatism are

Last night, the world’s best footballer was crowned in Paris with the Ballon d’Or (Ousmane Dembélé). Meanwhile in Melbourne, we handed out our own version — the Ballon d’Brownlow.

FFS my point was about Aussie bandwagon jumpers - people who’d never heard of him now suddenly posthumously love or hate him. I said I’d ‘barely’ heard of him, not ‘never’. And if you think Kirk was a household name in Aus, you’re living in a bubble.

[The Hon Adem Somyurek MP @AdemSomyurek]

I’ve been tracking the American right reasonably closely—the MAGA vs neocon split fascinates me. And yet I’d barely heard of Charlie Kirk. Strange how suddenly everyone in Australia acts like he was a household name.

On reflection, the Communist Manifesto is the closer comparison — a handbook that openly calls for armed struggle.

[The Hon Adem Somyurek MP @AdemSomyurek]

Confiscating Mein Kampf is obvious. But if we’re banning “extremist handbooks,” does Das Kapital stay on the shelf?

[David Southwick MP @SouthwickMP]

The Allan Labor Government must act to remove all extremist materials from Victorian prisons following revelations that a prisoner was allowed a copy of Mein Kampf on Labor's watch.

First item at the next Victorian Right caucus meeting. Right convener: ‘we’ve been directed by the SL politburo to drop the term ‘Stalinists’ or be sanctioned, collectively and individually. From now on we must call them ‘Enthusiasts of Unanimous Opinions’.

[The Hon Adem Somyurek MP @AdemSomyurek]

https://t.co/16EFDeqE0G
So does this mean me and the Labor Right owe Dan and the Socialist Left an apology for calling them Stalinists all these years? Looks like the SL is shutting down internal critique… which kind of proves our point

[The Hon Adem Somyurek MP @AdemSomyurek]

Pot calling the kettle black. The Bunnings mafia drove out the little bloke — now mums and dads cop the shite. I bought 3 toilets, all broken, all replaced. Paid 6 times for installation. Zero accountability. And they complain about crime in Victoria? https://t.co/W3BRUFqd9R

I made this warning during the tariff fight in March. While others focused on trade, I said Trump would come for our defense freeloading next.

[The Hon Adem Somyurek MP @AdemSomyurek]

Albo hits back at US calls to lift defence
While NATO allies scramble to meet Trump’s 5% defense demand, Australia — arguably the most dependent on U.S. protection — is sticking with Albo’s defense doctrine: “We’re Bambi. No one would ever invade Bambi.”
