“women are just as bad as men.”
okay. then show me men being gang assaulted by women at scale.
show me adult women running trafficking networks for men.
show me laws built to control men’s bodies.
show me spaces where women routinely prey on men.
and when men start living in fear of gender-based violence the way women do, we can have that conversation.
Compare the pair.
Anthony Albanese and Pauline Hanson both entered federal politics in 1996.
Same year.
Same country.
Same broad opportunity to leave a mark.
Nearly 30 years later, here’s the comparison.
Pauline Hanson:
Bills originated and passed into law: zero.
Her great parliamentary hits include:
• a failed COVID vaccination bill
• a failed burqa ban
• a failed immigration plebiscite
• endless motions, stunts and tantrums that generate headlines and but no actual law
Her own political legacy is mostly framed around:
• blocking other people’s legislation
• forcing inquiries
• leveraging crossbench numbers
• complaining loudly enough that the media mistakes volume for achievement
Parliamentary attendance rate: 53%.
Which does raise the question if Pauline attended parliament a bit more often, might she have actually managed to get something done beyond scowling at modernity?
Anthony Albanese:
Bills passed into law in government include...
• legislating the 43% emissions reduction target
• 10 days paid domestic violence leave
• cheaper childcare through a higher subsidy cap
• energy price caps on gas and coal
• household energy bill relief
• establishing the National Anti-Corruption Commission
• the Help to Buy shared equity housing scheme
• banning foreign purchases of existing homes
• wiping billions in student debt
• full school funding reform
• RBA reform
• the under-16 social media ban
• the Future Made in Australia manufacturing package
• criminalising wage theft
• lifting minimum wages for the lowest paid
• delivering two consecutive budget surpluses
• EV fringe benefits tax exemptions
• aged care pay rises
• support for nurse and midwife wage rises
• legislated super on paid parental leave
Parliamentary attendance rate: 83%.
And that’s as the Prime Minister, with international travel, diplomatic obligations, cabinet management, legislation, party discipline, question time, and the small inconvenience of actually running the country.
Compare the pair.
One has spent decades in politics and can point to a list of legislation, reforms and institutional changes.
The other has spent decades in politics and can point to a list of grievances, failed bills, lost crusades and media appearances.
One knows how to govern.
The other knows how to linger.
One built policy.
The other built a brand.
One passed laws.
The other passed through parliament just often enough to remind us she’s still there.
Same starting line.
Nearly 30 years later.
One of them knows how to run the country.
The other knows how to run a permanent one-person protest stall inside it.
Compare the pair.
General advice only.
Please consider your personal circumstances before mistaking noise for achievement.
BREAKING: RETALIATION! A DOGE whistleblower had his brake lines cut the day after Elon Musk called him a criminal on X — and he's now suing for defamation.
Dan Berulis did everything right. He saw something alarming, filed a proper Congressional whistleblower complaint, and went public through legitimate channels. Then someone taped threatening photos of him walking his dog to his front door. Then Elon Musk called him a criminal to 200 million followers. Then his brake lines were cut.
Berulis was an IT staffer at the National Labor Relations Board who filed a whistleblower complaint in April 2025, alleging that DOGE had accessed the agency's systems and appeared to be exfiltrating data — and that minutes after DOGE accessed those systems, login attempts appeared from a Russian IP address.
Five days after he went public, on Easter Sunday, Musk reshared a post from a right-wing influencer claiming Berulis' complaint was false, writing: "Filing a deliberately false whistleblower claim is a serious crime." Musk's followers responded by calling for Berulis's prosecution, arrest, and harm. One wrote, "Snitches get stitches."
The next morning, Berulis got in his car. His brakes didn't work. He ran off the road into a stop sign. A mechanic later found his brake lines had been cut — and that a safety sensor had also been removed and its wires carefully spliced to prevent the car from detecting the missing component or alerting the driver.
Fingerprints were found on the car. The police case is now "inactive."
Berulis never went back to his home. He moved out, stayed in hotels, and has lived carefully ever since.
He is now suing Musk for defamation — knowing, in his own words, that it's "kicking the hornet's nest" against someone with nearly unlimited resources. If he wins, he says he'll use the proceeds to defend other whistleblowers.
"I'm not expecting to win this. The asymmetry here is real," Berulis said. "But I am trying to get something positive out of it."
One more detail that should terrify everyone: Berulis had moved to his address just three months before the threatening note appeared. He hadn't updated his bank, his phone, his car registration, or his driver's license. The only entities that had his new address were his utilities and the Office of Personnel Management — one of the first agencies DOGE accessed.
The atrocities that DOGE inflicted upon the US government may have faded from the immediate consciousness of most people, but the fallout continues. Let’s hope that this whistleblower sees the justice he deserves.

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:
- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%
- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)
- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds
- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)
- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility
- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium
- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains
- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules
- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years
- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years
Ooops, sorry!
That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.
Who signed the agreement that Australia's 90-day oil reserves should be shifted to the USA?
Angus Taylor.
That's why we're running out now.

Pauline #Hanson is a friend of the billionaire class not the working class and she scapegoats migrants for cost of living pressures to hide this. #OneNation
Families in social homes aren’t a punchline, Jarrod Bleijie.
Today, we revealed the LNP will sell off hundreds of social homes - And the response from David Crisafulli’s right hand man? Cry me a river.
Aussie battlers are supporting One Nation. Do those Aussie battlers know what Pauline Hanson would take away from them if she had the chance to? Pay attention. This is what she has voted against.
A wealthy man decided to settle a family inheritance fight against his brother by targeting the weakest person in the room: his disabled infant nephew.
He withdrew medical support for his severely disabled little boy while lawyers argued as a bargaining chip. When his brother called and begged him to stop, he said that he should “just let your son die.”
That man was called Donald Trump.
Art of the deal.
“Norway taxes its fossil fuel industry heavily and it gives their kids free higher education ... we subsidise our fossil fuel industry and charge a fortune to go to uni.”

Ohhh buckle up, because we’re going straight into the psychological funhouse where Trump’s ego, repression, and sexual panic attack each other like three raccoons fighting in a dumpster fire behind Mar-a-Lago.
Let’s be so real:
This man has spent his entire life acting like the mere idea that he might not be the hyper-masculine straight alpha he pretends to be is a national security threat on par with a loose nuke.
You sneeze near the topic of his masculinity or sexuality and suddenly he’s on Truth Social at 3AM typing like someone’s unplugging his life support.
This is a man who treats the concept of self-acceptance like it owes him money.
And that’s the hilarious tragedy:
the country didn’t just get stuck with a corrupt authoritarian—
we got stuck with a corrupt authoritarian who can’t even process his own identity without melting like a Walmart candle on a hot dashboard.
The entire nation has been held hostage by a man having the longest, loudest, most repressed midlife crisis in human history.
He’s like:
“I AM THE STRAIGHTEST MAN ALIVE.”
Bro, calm down. Nobody asked.
The louder he yelled about “law and order,”
the more it sounded like he was trying to convince himself he wasn’t spiraling into a personal identity wormhole where all his secrets keep tap dancing.
And the best part?
Every time he tried to project strength, he looked like a man trying to outrun his own diary.
Meanwhile, the rest of us were like:
“Sir, can you please stop projecting your internal meltdown onto the entire federal government? Some of us are just trying to afford groceries.”
His policies?
A mood disorder.
His tweets?
A cry for help.
His cabinets?
Support groups for people afraid of the dark and the truth.
We didn’t get a president.
We got a walking Freudian slip with Secret Service protection.
And while he was flailing around trying to hide whatever was going on behind the scenes, the entire country lost emotional bandwidth, stability, and basic dignity—
because one man was too terrified to let the world see what the mirror already knows.
The closet—whatever was in it—wasn’t the problem.
His soul-crushing fear of the closet was.
America deserves a leader who’s at peace with who they are.
Not someone who screams louder than a teapot every time their inner truth jiggles the door handle.
