Pauline Hanson is scheduled to address the National Press Club on **Wednesday, 17 June 2026, from 11:30am to 1:30pm. I have some questions for her, in case the assembled journalists can't think of any:
Imagine my surprise watching Mr Hockey at the National Press Club marketing his consultancy, Bondi partners, and comparing Mr Trump with great American presidents on Mt Rushmore at the same time. This is panhandling like you've hardly seen before, for record 😑
I get it - people hate paying tax:
I don't get it - they love Medicare, aged care, child care, the health system, air traffic controllers, the defence of Australia's borders, fire fighters, police, cheap scripts, free schools, the ABC, pensions for the elderly, trading the govt bond market & roads, to name a few.
A day ahead of the Budget and every self interested dog is barking…the same people screaming for curbs to govt spending except in their own regard.
It is worse than pathetic.
In a prayer vigil for peace, Pope Leo XIV delivered his sharpest condemnation of the Trump-Vance war on Iran to date.
He called the current moment a “delusion of omnipotence” and condemned the dragging of God's name “into discourses of death.”
Leaders who turn their backs on God, the pope said, have turned themselves and their own power into a “mute, blind, and deaf idol” that demands the whole world bend its knee.
“Enough of war. True strength is shown in serving life.”
He told the faithful that he receives letters from children in war zones every day.
“They tell of the pain and sorrow of war, while grown-ups boast of its effects. We must listen to the children.” https://t.co/diozdsCni2
“In a country where billionaires avoid tax, fossil fuel companies avoid tax, social media companies avoid tax and media empires avoid tax, apparently the real strain on taxpayer money is disabled people who have the nerve to want to be alive…” 👇👇👇
Wonder how history is going to judge Albanese and his Labor cronies for their support for the Trump and Netanyahu regimes and their atrocities.
We had Pig Iron Bob in the late 1930s.
Future generations might refer to Aukus Albo.
The 2026 World Cup shouldn’t be played in a country whose president just posted that it’s a “great honor” to kill Iranians.
Move every match to Canada and Mexico. Or every nation should withdraw.
The FIFA Peace Prize recipient is now bragging about genocide. Read that again.
