Good morning Twitter fam👋 Happy hump day everyone😀
Isn’t it fantastic waking up knowing interest rates have been cut thanks to Labor’s brilliant economic plan.
With more on the way!
Jim Charmers would have to go down as one of the best treasures we’ve seen.
Australia’s media bias is no conspiracy. It’s fucking true. And it’s there to keep Labor out of government. And it has worked many times. One example is, the last time the Liberal Party won government off Labor, a big part of that was because the media were screeching about the country’s debt. Which was significantly less than what it became after the Liberal Party were elected in 2013. Even the fact that Labor under Kevin Rudd managed to avoid a recession during the GFC wasn’t enough for Australia’s media to strike some sort of a balance. The debt exploded after the Liberals won government off Labor last time. And services were cut dramatically. There wasn’t one budget surplus from the Liberals in 9 years. After they swore they would achieve one every year.
Labor are back in government and have achieved 2 from 2 budget surpluses. And they have actually invested in the public service. Created jobs. Expanded TAFE. Given many sectors a pay rise like Age care workers and childcare workers. Labor has cut the price of medicine. Have opened bulk billing urgent care clinics. And in all of this, Labor has still managed to achieve 2 from 2 budget surpluses. Without cutbacks like the Liberal Party were doing. Whist they didn’t achieve one budget surplus in almost a decade in government.
Interesting facts:
▪️ It was Daily Telegraph who first released details of the ‘terror’ explosives in the caravan described by police at the time as potentially “a set-up”
▪️ It was Daily Telegraph who tried to create an ‘antisemitic’ incident this week in Newtown
Coincidence?
Has anyone from @dailytelegraph lost their jobs for their attempt at inciting Antisemitic hate?
I mean if #Bankstown Nurses are banned for their hate speech. So too should these #journalists.

I am incandescent with rage right now. I feel sick to the stomach. A US Vice President stood today on the soil of where so many Americans gave their lives to defeat fascism in Europe. He delivered a disgraceful speech that spat on their graves. Not that we should expect any different, given his boss skipped visiting the graves of fallen Americans in Europe for fear of getting his hair wet. The same man who called the same fallen heroes suckers and losers.
As a Brit that loves America and the American people, I am deeply disturbed at the insults delivered by a man who once described Donald Trump as an “idiot" and said he was "reprehensible." Privately, comparing him to Adolf Hitler.
How times have changed. Vance is now part of the most authoritarian administration in American history. An administration actively seeking to deny bodily autonomy to women. An administration pursuing the same mass deportation of immigrants that Europe witnessed in 1930s Germany. Vance is a man that his own president doesn’t even see as his successor.
He came to Europe to vomit his Christo-fascist bile on leaders from the UK and across Europe, in what appears to be a retribution tour designed to assert American power.
The U.S. are to my knowledge the only NATO country to have invoked Article 5 of the NATO charter after 9/11. We, his European allies, met that call with no questions asked. We sent thousands of soldiers to the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq to fight a war on the false premise of Donald Rumsfeld’s ‘known unknowns’. We did this despite millions of our own citizens protesting in the streets of our cities.
Our military stood shoulder to shoulder with his military and we, like many Americans, stood to salute our fallen young men and women returning home day after day. I have tears in my eyes as I write this, thinking of them and their loved ones. Our brave men and women willingly gave their all and far too many made the ultimate sacrifice in support of an American led war.
For the record, 6000 Ukrainian solders server alongside American soldiers in Iraq. This, despite Ukraine not being a member of NATO. In 1994 upon signing the Budapest Memorandum they gave up their nuclear weapons in return for security assurances from the US and the UK. These were then reneged upon in 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea. They were told ‘An assurance is not a guarantee’.
Now, despite their friendship and their brave sacrifice on the battlefields of Ukraine, the President of the United States has decided to abandon them and hand a victory to an indicted war criminal, who illegally invaded the sovereign territory of a US ally. An ally who’s soldiers had previously lost their lives supporting America in its war on terror.
SHAME ON HIM. Shame on the man who dodged the draft and never served a day in defense of his nation. He is a coward and I would gladly call him that to his face. To all those Americans on social media currently posting vile insults to those who have always been there for America, I say, democracy is bigger than you, as you sit anonymously behind your phones posting poison.
America might have the most powerful army on the planet, but remember, that same army fled from Saigon after being handed their ass by a bunch of peasant rice farmers, armed with grenades made from discarded US coke cans. Ukraine have been to the Russian army what the Vietnamese were to you and we salute them.
You might want to throw Ukraine under the bus while stealing there mineral deposits, BUT EUROPE WILL NOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. I know for sure that the UK will not abandon the Ukrainian people. Our aid to GDP contribution already exceeds that of the US as does Poland, Germany Finland and others.
The U.S. is no longer a reliable ally and if need be, we will stand with Ukraine without America.
As for your pathetic tariffs, do your worst. You will soon have no friends but thugs and autocrats, so I’m sure Wun Dum Fuc will be right at home.
The Daily Telegraph took part in a stunt in which a provocateur tried and failed to *stir up* antisemitism at an Egyptian restaurant in order to have it caught on camera.
How's this for "social cohesion"? I wonder if any politicians will bother to comment

Are we surprised? No.
Here’s the guy who heckled Albo this morning. Sky News falling over itself to interview this guy 2 minutes after the heckling. Like we came down in the last shower. 🙄😏
#LNPCorruptionParty#Auspol2025
Of course The Daily Telegraph colluded with a Zionist to try and ruin a pro-Palestine restaurant owner’s life.
This isn’t just vile, it exposes News Corp’s deeper agenda.
I reckon that the media in this country has never been more broken.

Jim Chalmers explains how Australians would be “thousands of dollars worse off” if Dutton “had his way”
Stefanovic “That’s speculation”
Chalmers “He didn’t want the tax cuts, didn’t want energy bill relief or the other cost of living help. That’s not speculation it’s a fact”💥
A thousand times this. Labor under Albanese is the most scandal-free federal government - of any stripe - in living memory. Just think about it. #auspol
On every measure we’ve made substantial and sustained progress in the fight against inflation.
It's not mission accomplished, but it means we’ve made much more progress.
Inflation was higher and rising under the Liberals but it’s lower and falling under Labor.
#auspol#ausecon
Mr. Dutton likes to talk about cost of living, yet votes against every single cost of living policy we’ve passed.
This election is a choice between Labor which is delivering higher wages and real cost of living relief, & a Coalition who’ve already promised to wind it all back.
Because travelling 140 million miles to an inhospitable planet that can't sustain life is exactly the same at turning up to a rich earthly continent churning with life.
Dumb as a box of hammers.
