I was promised an end
to the cold war by some idiot who perhaps half believed their own carefully crafted press release

As long as there are aristocrats, autocrats and other assorted control freaks we are stuck with this lunacy #auspol
The world is in a dangerous place when the owner of this megaphone, reaching billions, in direct control of opaque algorithms that curate, amplify or suppress information along with his fellow tech billionaires with unfettered access to the US government, does this.
Zeit online: A Hitler salute, is a Hitler salute, is a Hitler salute.
When such a gesture is given or repeatedly given in any setting, let alone Presidential, we should expect it to be roundly condemned, or at a minimum explained while making abundantly clear the connotations are extremely disturbing and ugly. And certainly by all purporting to stand against all forms of racism and hate.
The normalisation of racist and hateful ideologies and far right dogma is extremely concerning and unfortunately, auger very badly for the next few years.
Whatever your politics, hate is hate.

The standard you walk past @AlboMP If you can stomach it, well I suppose that makes you the consummate politician. Hardly something to be remembered for mate #auspol 🤣
These people expect us to accept a country which elected a man who has been convicted of sexually assaulting women. Yeah, NAH!!! @AlboMP Don't insult Aussie women ✌🏻Your government & the press are trying to tell us this is ok. It ain't mate!

It’s been a big week in Washington DC.
We welcomed President Trump and his new Administration.
I hosted our Foreign Minister @SenatorWong and we met with our Quad counterparts, reaffirming our commitment to the region.
And we continued to strengthen Australia’s enduring partnership with the United States – our closest ally and vital strategic partner.
In the new Trump presidency, we have got to remain focused. We can’t panic.
No matter how many executive orders he signs or statements he issues, our goal is the same:
We must fight to create an America based on economic, social & environmental justice.

these are extremist billionaire views. he gives no shits about any agenda apart from one in which we all fight amongst ourselves & focus zero attention on parasites sucking humanity dry ✌🏻 #auspol Billionaires are pointless. Tax them into oblivion 😁✌🏻
Elon Musk has been backing neo-Nazi parties around the world, interfering in elections and using his massive platform to attack anyone who doesn’t share his extreme right-wing views.
They should...yet an American conviction is now a badge of honour...
meanwhile the resurgence of facism, nationalism and complete idiocy courtesy of the American billionaire class...why on earth are we still allied to these self intestested pricks? #auspol
President Donald Trump has wasted no time dismantling climate policies and promising a new era of fossil-fuel dominance, withdrawing the US from the Paris Agreement on his first day back in office. https://t.co/OW7vMn8X3g
Socialism. Only aristocrats, billionaires & those with a dose of system justification theory still think it's a bad idea. Best idea we ever had humanity ✌🏻😁 #auspol
Education opens the doors of opportunity and changes lives.
Today we’re making sure that every child in public schools gets the support they need, with new schools funding agreements with South Australia and Victoria.
With six of the states and territories now signed up to the Better and Fairer Schools agreement, we’re investing in what works.
Early phonics and numeracy testing. Classroom assistants and targeted tutoring. Support for advanced learners. More help for teachers and individual attention for every child.
This is real reform, designed to deliver real results.
And we’ll keep working to make sure every Australian student has a world class education.
Billionaires should not own social media platforms.
Billionaires should not run our newspapers.
Billionaires should not control our politics.
A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.
We've been the personfication of foolish arrogance from the moment the British invaded. The aristocracy and their assorted hangers on still
believe they discovered this place. The insouciant arrogance of idiots

Spare a Thought for the Whistleblowers Labor Continues to Persecute This Christmas
@Richard_D_Boyle and David McBride @MurdochCadell continue to be punished for disclosing government corruption as Labor's PID laws encourage

Disclosure standards for members and senators are necessarily high. @PeterDutton_MP sets the standard for the whole coalition and so MUST disclose the high level nature and value of the pro-bono advice he’s received from Arnold Bloch Leibler. #test#auspol https://t.co/XMINTl8V8C
i've never gotten over menzies letting the British test
bulk nuclear bombs here treating Aussies like nothing more than
nuclear guinea pigs for the empire #auspol#nochance
Angus Taylor has repeated the claim that the Coalition's nuclear policy would cut electricity bills by 44 per cent.
It’s not true, writes Mike Seccombe.
In fact, the Frontier Economics report specifically says so. https://t.co/NWc7Twf8wX
no serious person thinks we have ever been independent. Between the British and the Americans
we've been ruled by imbeciles for a couple centuries #auspol
The Albanese government with their policy is likely to turn Australia into the 51st state of the United States, writes former Prime Minister of Australia, Paul Keating. #auspol#USPolitics

Or coming by boat, or being indigneous, or being a woman who gets bashed or vilified or murdered, or having a disability. I'm starting to think unless you are a white male you are fucked. #Auspol2024
