No immigrant has taken your job. You were laid off by a capitalist who required cheap labor and took advantage of that immigrant to increase his profits, and nothing makes him happier than to hear you blame the immigrant and not him.
Oh WOW! This is a whole new level!!
What looks like delicate Murano glass is actually pure edible magic!
Blown isomalt sugar crafted by the insanely talented French sugar artist Arnaud Filbet.
Just... wow!!
Who else thought it was real glass at first?
How the fuck do we live in a country where the media insisted negative gearing didn’t increase house prices but now house prices are falling the media are insisting it’s because the Labor government stopped … negative gearing?

People keep telling me that Pauline Hanson stands up for ordinary Australians.
So let’s look at the record.
Pauline Hanson and One Nation have voted against or opposed:
• Increasing JobKeeper payments during the pandemic
• Raising the Newstart/JobSeeker rate for unemployed Australians
• A Royal Commission into violence, abuse and neglect of people with disability
• Making TAFE fee-free for more Australians
• Greater funding for universities and education
• Measures aimed at improving housing affordability
• Expanding access to subsidised childcare
• Measures aimed at reducing the gender pay gap
• Stronger protections for Aboriginal heritage sites
• Increasing diversity in media ownership
• Environmental protections for forests and threatened ecosystems
• Stronger action on gambling harm
At the same time, Hanson has supported:
• Tax cuts that disproportionately benefited higher-income earners
• Expanding welfare cashless debit card programs
• Greater political intervention in research funding decisions
• Reductions in some welfare supports
Then there was the infamous attempt by One Nation figures to seek support from the US gun lobby to weaken Australia’s gun laws after Port Arthur.
So the question remains:
What has Pauline Hanson actually delivered that has improved the lives of ordinary Australians?
After nearly three decades in politics, where are the major reforms? Where are the new hospitals, schools, infrastructure projects, wage increases, housing programs or worker protections she can point to?
A lot of outrage. A lot of headlines. A lot of blame.
But very little delivered.
Australians deserve more than slogans. They deserve results.
WHEN ABORIGINAL PEOPLE SPEAK ABOUT RACISM, LAND RIGHTS, DEATHS IN CUSTODY, OR INEQUALITY, WE'RE TREATED LIKE WE'RE
"DIVIDING THE COUNTRY."
BUT WHEN BILLIONAIRES AND POLITICIANS SPEND YEARS PUSHING FEAR, RESENTMENT, AND CULTURE WAR NARRATIVES ABOUT ABORIGINAL PEOPLE, THAT'S CALLED
"COMMON SENSE."
@charlesmurray My parents couldn’t afford to help us out the way we support our kids because their generation hadn’t sucked up all the money in the economy the way ours has.
I don't understand this whole growing thing in Oz politics, about being "patriots" & embracing "freedom".
Far from being patriotic, it feels like warmed over MAGA nonsense that wont pull in anyone who isn't already there?
The quote is from Tony Abbott who's just become Lib Prez.
En Italia en los años 1940 decían:
“Hay tres cosas incompatibles entre sí: inteligencia, honradez y fascismo. Quien es inteligente y fascista, no es honrado.
Quien es honrado y fascista, no es inteligente.
Y quien es inteligente y honrado, no es fascista".
