Art matters. And progressive politics...

I just read the Wikipedia page on Moira Deeming.

The section headed Political views is particularly interesting....

Seeing this article in The Guardian today reminded me how much I loathe John Howard. And Peter Dutton!

The very worst kind of conservatives.

Why would anyone with a caring and compassionate bone in their body vote for @PeterDutton_MP?

He's a danger to Australia.

I'd like to think that there are billionaires in the world who do good for humanity.

I guess it depends on whether they became billionaires by screwing, cheating and conning people, or by being fair and honest.

I shouldn't have visited Twitter on the day of Alan Jones' arrest...

[Shane Hewitt @GrumpyStKilda]

I shouldn't have visited Twitter on the day of George Pell's funeral.

It reminded me how much I despise @HonTonyAbbott, @PeterDutton_MP, @RealMarkLatham, #JohnHoward and #AlanJones

Sorry, I will make one more comment about the US election result:

THANK YOU to @KamalaHarris and ALL her supporters for putting up such a strong fight against the criminal @realDonaldTrump

#USPolitics

[Shane Hewitt @GrumpyStKilda]

I've mulled over many comments I could make about the US election result, suffice to say:

Australia, don't be like America!

My remarks here might be useless, but I make them hoping for at least a small, positive effect.

Yes, it's wishful thinking when up against the unfettered power of the owner of this platform, but PLEASE America, vote Democrat!

I fear that ordinary Queenslanders are going to swing right again, because they're under the misapprehension that conservative governments serve the people.

Vote Labor! #QLDLabor

Oh dear, I saw on the news tonight that some black men in the USA are supporting the criminal candidate, Donald Trump.

It's American madness on a whole new level.

Human beings are simultaneously the smartest and most stupid creatures on the planet.

Just ask any of the other animals!

[Shane Hewitt @GrumpyStKilda]

I try not to stress about things I can't control.

But when I see self-serving, conservative billionaires like @elonmusk supporting the despicable Donald Trump, I really despair.

I just hope enough sensible Americans vote Democrat, for their sake, and for the world.

I am sharing a personal statement that my family and I have made in response to my brother’s announcement.

[Shane Hewitt @GrumpyStKilda]

I’ve just finished reading Eric Beecher's excellent new book, The Men Who Killed the News: The inside story of how media moguls abused their power, manipulated the truth and distorted democracy.

Highly recommended!

The prospect of Kamala Harris as the next President of the USA is very exciting!

@slpng_giants_oz When I rule the world the Murdochs will be banished!

Why the fuck do Americans think that everyone owning guns is a good idea?

[Shane Hewitt @GrumpyStKilda]

How wonderful to see that the Conservative Party in the UK has been turfed out of office after 14 years!

I wish the Labour Party well.

Why would anyone in their right mind vote for Peter Dutton? He's a danger to Australia!
