The truth is Marxist now.

That's quite a shift of the Overton window

@LenJohn43037193 @Peter_Fitz The Guardian has a nice design & good sports section. Apart from that it is Marxist bilge.

Today I stood up on my own, holding my own weight. I felt heavy as hell and I was so unbalanced. But it was an amazing 30 seconds. 🥹

Anyone who tells you this is what a counter-terror operation looks like, a hostage rescue mission looks like, is gaslighting you.

@Peter_Fox59 It is so wrong what our Attorney General has done to him. This is a witch hunt and the fact that he removed David's right to a Defence is just so twisted. All Australians need to let the Government and AG know that Whistle Blowers deserve protection not prosecution.

I am old enough to remember the limitations placed on alcohol after someone was killed by a full can of beer thrown by a drunk

No matter your postcode, you should be able to enjoy a beer at the footy.

So we're ending the ban on full-strength beers in Western Sydney stadiums

As details of the spectacular mishandling of the robodebt investigation continue to emerge, it is clear that a change in leadership is necessary to restore public trust in the NACC.

The strength of the institution depends on it.

[💧simon holmes à court 🦋 @simonahac]

the major parties' primary votes have been steadily dropping — posing an existential risk for them.

there's two ways they can arrest the decline:

1. be less shit.
2. cheat.

it's a great shame they're choosing the latter… but, you've got to admit, it's much easier.

The integrity of Australian elections is far, far too important for the Albanese government’s proposed political donation changes to be rushed through without scrutiny.

I won an award for defending human rights & press freedom.

The recognition feels hollow when so many are silenced, oppressed or forgotten.

I’d trade every accolade for basic human rights & a truly free press- especially for Palestinians who are fighting for their very existence
