David Shoebridge asks Don Farrell if he’s aware the Sumud Flotilla was trying to provide aid to starving Palestinians. Farrell rambles, starts talking about a book he read on Hitler’s “shocking treatment of the Jews” Shoebridge “Minister I’ll draw you back to my question…” 🙄

Doug Cameron:”In my view it is now clear that AUKUS is about militarising Australia in interests of the US, ensuring the grifters in defence and the arms industry are well fed. It is an act of self-harm and madness on the part of the Australian government.” pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/10...

Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad targeting Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse backfired. It prompted Ohio’s largest newspaper, The Plain Dealer, to reverse its policy on political endorsements and endorse Acton for governor.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

As ex-CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour has said: good journalism is "truthful, not neutral". Too many Australian mainstream reporters pursue a stupid and dangerous version of neutrality, which results in giving equal time to fascist liars.

Peter Murphy@peterwmurphy1.bsky.social

Dear Australian mainstream news media Repeating is NOT reporting. "Pauline Hanson said ..." is NOT journalism. Allowing One Nation to make verifiably false or misleading assertions is irresponsible. Don't blindly repeat lies. Call them out: "Today, ON falsely claimed ..." #auspol #JournalismMatters

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

No mention that they were Zionists and only a Zionist would understand how hurtful it is to be called a genocidal maniac and responsible for the erasure of Palestinians and Lebanese people with impunity. These people have no morals and their greed for money and power has no limit.

Folks will recall Sen David Pocock asking how Yaron Finkelstein's firm - Society Advisory - was awarded a contract by Jillian Segal's office. This was answer.

AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett calls out violent political rhetoric such as Pauline Hanson’s car ramming video—for having a "direct correlation" to real attacks on politicians. Speers: “Like a cartoon that suggests someone should be hit by a car…?” Barrett: Yep.💥 #auspol

Murdoch’s Greg Brown expresses surprise that Hanson’s ON gained popularity so quick. Maybe you should look at your own papers Greg and the deification of chief funder Gina Rinehart 😒 Have a go at this absolute tripe 👇🏼 #insiders

In 2019 Helen called him her "soulmate", today, he is her rock. I’m just glad that out of the many nasty, violent men, there are some genuinely good, supportive men out there too. Phil Haines is proof of that. Men should be more like Phil, & we should all be more like Helen. 🩵

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

This is absolutely horrific! Yet more men's violence against women. In August, an ABC story noted that abuse towards women politicians is increasing in Australia. But it's a worldwide issue - women politicians disproportionately face violence and intimidation. Patriarchal backlash. #auspol

I saw the part of the video where ON mock Jacqui Lambie and her health condition (pelvic floor prolapse). It is absolutely disgusting. Every politician should call this vile video out. Pauline Hanson needs to step up and apologise and have the video removed from all platforms.

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

Yesterday: “Jacqui Lambie: get over it, OK? It is actually satirical. Have a bit of a laugh, Jacqui, and lighten up.” Today: "“The video went up without my actually seeing it, and I was not aware of the content of the video."

Let this sink in… The skull had been taken to a local pub, where people used it as a communal ashtray, because they believed the remains belonged to an Aboriginal child. Their disgust and remorse only surfaced when they discovered that the skull belonged to a murdered white girl.

This is an incredibly dangerous precedent and confirms all the dangers of AUKUS - wargaming Australia as the base for a US war with China - and us even paying for it. We need to end AUKUS before this becomes real.
