My grand unified theory of Australian politics is really simple. They're retards. That's it, that's the theory. I would say on average, 4 times per week, something will happen and someone will ask me my opinion, and I'll say well what do you think happened, and I'll hear some labyrinthine conspiracy theory about internecine factional warfare, and who is donating to who, and who owes who money, and who is rooting which journalist, and I'll say - ok, but have you considered: the guy is just a fucking retard?
And no one can compete with the simple mathematical elegance of this theory. "Why do you think Stephen Jones resigned, do you think the super industry is pulling the strings" (ideas conceived by the mentally deranged) No. I think he's a fucking dipshit.
Remember when Steve Ciobo and Chris Pyne resigned right before the 19 election? And everyone was clutching their pearls going 'oh what do they know, is the polling bad? Is it over?' and it turned out - no, they were just fucking retarded.
Like if you start out from this simple truth, 'they're all retarded' and you base all your political assumptions on that, you will be happier, you will be better off, you will be right most of the time, people will think you're possessed of preternatural insight, if you simply read the news and see what guys in Canberra are doing and say 'they're doing that because they are retarded'.
I used to keep this a secret because I like grifting retainers out of having some secret occult knowledge about Australian politics but it's getting to be too much - so I'm just going to start publicizing it. They're retarded. That's it, that's the secret. Use that knowledge, vote on the basis of that knowledge, make every significant decision in your life based on this simple truth - your politicians are fucking retarded.
There’s been a massive decline in people’s tolerance for alcohol. People don’t have the biological robustness anymore to drink themselves into a stupor & show up to work the next day. There were surgeons who would do this for 30 years. Win awards. Now people are scared of 1 drink
We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself.
All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion.

Dec 28: four 🇨🇳 thugs from 🇨🇳 consulate general in Manchester intimidated a RFA reporter who was checking out some anti-CCP messages painted on the sidewalk outside the consulate by someone else. They ordered the reporter to stop recording and said they were calling the police, claiming in a threatening tone that he couldn’t record videos of them or the consulate without their permission — even though the reporter was doing his job in a public area — and that they had “image rights” — just like what Newton Leng brazenly told Dr K at the King's Cross St Pancras station in London on Jan 19 — while hostilely closing in on the reporter as he backed away…
The reporter finally called the police after he was boxed in by the thugs who refused to let him leave.
Police officers arrived moments later, and said, after ascertaining what was going on, reporters enjoyed freedom of the press and could shoot pictures and videos in public places. They took down the reporter’s information before leaving.

I’ve had an absolute gut-full of the mates-rates ‘accountability’ & moral cowardice on display by the ABC executive. An inquiry by a former paid executive is not independent – time for a Parliamentary Inquiry. Our tax dollars deserve more than this facade (in my opinion) #AusPol
1,000 years ago: a crying, mournful little girl lays her favorite doll at her brave father's grave.
Scientists today: "Well, just look at this faggot."
This is former Australian Prime Minister James Scullin.
He was the last PM to lose govt after only a single term.
Scullin had the poor fortune of being elected about 5 minutes before the Great Depression kicked off.
If trends continue Albo is at risk of joining him.
At least one of Australia’s @GroupOfEight university chancellors, Peter Varghese (former head of DFAT, ONA), has long argued 🇦🇺 should “quietly abandon” its “comprehensive strategic partnership” with China.
Seems the uni lobby’s CEO disagrees https://t.co/uz8ZAtGSTP
Unbelievable chart shown on the ABC yesterday.
Reminder last year the US produced more oil than any country, in any year, ever.
Australia has governments committed to closing down our cheapest sources of energy.
Imagine sheltering from volcanic ash with your best friend, facing unimaginable terror in your last moments alive, and not thinking to sit six feet apart in case an archaeologist in 2000 years calls you gay
