Rather than it being a snub, Trump chickened out of his meeting with Albanese. The gulf between Albanese's intellectual and moral clarity and Trump's would have been too embarrassing for him. That's why they call him #TACO. #auspol

While #Trump orchestrates and basks in the adulation of a DPRK-style military parade, proud American citizens begin their uprising against his fascism. All power to them. If America's institutions can't save its democracy, it's people must. #auspol #USPolitics #NoKings

Like the citizens of 1930s Nazi Germany, US citizens have a choice. They can turn a blind eye to the atrocities of their government and leader and reap the consequences as the meek Germans did in WW2, OR they can stand up to fascism and end the tyranny now. #auspol #Trump

For anyone playing along at home the "bombshell decision" was an announcement that the NACC had found "no evidence of corruption or any intervention by either the Coalition or Albanese governments in the mediation process". #auspol

FFS. The Austrian President states "[the school shooting] is the darkest day in their history". The Anschluss? The mass deportation of Jews to death camps? Mathausen Concentration Camp? #auspol #Austria

For decades the American gun lobby justified its awful stance on the need for citizens to be armed so they could resist government over-reach. If that moment is not now, when is it? #auspol #uspolitics #Trump #LA

Australia needs to do the same. It especially needs to dump #AUKUS. Australia should not be allied with, and our ADF should not be integrated into the US military while it careens into a fascist dictatorship. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

#Trump’s claim that the LA protesters are paid is pure psychological projection. Because he does not lift a finger unless there is money to be made from it, he assumes everybody else has the same debased corrupt "values" (for want of a better word. #auspol #USPolitics #MAGA

So did I get this right? Musk's accusation that Trump is in the Epstein files is an admission that he knowingly helped put a paedophile in the Oval Office? #auspol #uspolitics #Trump #MAGA

These morons are now defending the indefensible. They've just been flogged in an election and lack the numbers to block this measure anyway. Why would you pick this hill to die on??? #auspol

Alan Stockdale's abhorrent comments actually mirror those of Scott Morrison when he said in a speech on International Women’s Day that "the empowerment of women should not come at the expense of men". The Liberal Party is munted. #auspol

Moronic out-of-touch malevolent old Boomers like Alan Stockdale are everything that is wrong with the Liberal Party and why it is dying in real time before our eyes #auspol www.crikey.com.au/2025/06/05/l...

crikey.com.auStockdale Syndrome: Alan, resentful old blokes, and the Liberals' talent crisisAlan Stockdale's 'joke' about assertive women was more than an ill-judged remark. It was reflective of the mindset of resentment that is embedded in the Liberal membership.

#SamGroth has shown himself to be yet another self-entitled Victorian Liberal shonk - out for every perk he get for himself and without a second thought for the people he represents or Victorians as a whole. They're all the same - an unelectable swill. #auspol #springst

I'm no fan of Thorpe but she has the right to speak out on this. More importantly why is #JacintaPrice the local Senator and an Indigenous Australian NOT speaking out? #auspol www.theage.com.au/national/man...

There is no doubt that @SenatorHume is utterly useless. She has been for years. But it is particularly ironic that it's the equally inept @sussanley who is the one who demoted her. #auspol

You couldn't make this shit up. Morrison, the architect of #Robodebt, and the man who blew out Australia's debt to almost a trillion dollars (70% before the pandemic) is calling for a return to the Libs' "core economic values". #auspol
