Not sure I could love Germaine Greer any more than I do. Everytime I watch this clip 💜💜 her a little more. For all the sex denialists this is the original critique of “gender”. Take note: Women are a sex class.

@7NewsSydney 6 only boats out 81 that normally arrive every month. Lazy and sensational media reporting contribute to the petrol panic buying and price hikes misinformation by not reporting all of the information. This link gives more context https://t.co/OyU9OG45KO.

[SBS On Demand @SBSOnDemand]

One government. Half a million victims. Zero accountability... until now. The devastating human story behind one of the Australia’s greatest political scandals premieres on 24 September on SBS and SBS on Demand. https://t.co/utxbpRJdSk

I want to talk to you about Palantir and its expanding footprint in Australia. TLDR: You should be worried.

This US surveillance tech company has secured multiple Defence contracts worth over $11 million. We need transparency about what data they're accessing & why. 🧵

[Amy Remeikis @AmyRemeikis]

For the record, Joe Hockey is a defence lobbyist who stands to make millions from defence contracts with the US and other allies. To just describe him in interviews as a former US ambassador and not his CURRENT vested interest role is not just irresponsible, it's lying.

So Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a flunkie goes "Deport!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"

And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

After todays Nats divorce decision an old Nat stalwart gave me his view of the future in Canberra…..”it’s 2040 and PM @JEChalmers has his retirement from Parliament after 4 terms as PM. Leader of the Opposition Bob Katter thanked him for his service!”

Second term Australian Labor govt is about coordination, delivery & impact, joining up #research & #innovation system with Future Made in Australia plan, as part of whole of govt #productivity agenda, says Minister Tim Ayres https://t.co/NCLcIgtw3e @CoopResearchAus @ayrestim

Gee, I'd love to know what background checks Trumpet of Patriots does. Convicted fraudster and ex-bankrupt David Sarikaya (aka Kaye) is running for the seat of Reid. He also bought his PhD online. Here is a charming text message he sent me. BTW, Azrail is the Angel of Death.

On the 12th anniversary of the death of the UK’s former conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, watch these two Scottish women’s legendary reaction to her passing.

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

What stage of capitalism is this?

[Senator Murray Watt @MurrayWatt]

Peter Dutton has serious questions to answer about his very unusual share trading the day before a massive GFC bank bailout was announced.

[Senator Penny Wong @SenatorWong]

It’s no surprise Senator Cash wants to change the topic, the Liberals want you to forget their record on hate speech. They wanted to change the Racial Discrimination Act so it would be legal to "offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate” someone because of their race or ethnicity.

[stranger @strangerous10]

Jane Hume roasted after interjecting while Katy Gallagher answers on Robodebt, reminds Hume of her “illegal scheme” on “half a million Aus citizens…hunted down for debts they didn’t owe”
“We’re still paying the price for something that u are trying to sweep under the carpet!”💥

@soundstoryuk “Do you know me now?”
“Forbidden Colours “
“Orpheus”
“Let Happiness In”
“I Surrender “. So many brilliant songs

[Amy Remeikis @AmyRemeikis]

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.

"On 22 January Rinehart said: 'If we are sensible, we should set up a Doge [Department of Government Efficiency] immediately, reduce government waste, gov­ernment tape and regulations.'

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

When I started talking about Oligarchy, many people didn't understand what I meant.

Well, that's changed.

When the 3 wealthiest men in America sit behind Trump at his inauguration, everyone understands that the billionaire class now controls our government.

We must fight back.

@PhillipAdams_1 Vale. My first introduction to Mr Leunig’s talent via this excellent album. 😁. I have enjoyed a lot of his work since that time.
