Linda Reynolds. What a narcissistic piece she is. In a country where DV and rape cases are so blatantly won away by males, she is yet to prove it will never change. She dug the pit herself where her reputation laid to rest. #auspol #lindareynolds

Look at that head on the left. Tim W….ker Wilson. He is back stirring the sh..t. All Bayside knows that he is just a poster boy. If you vote for the Liberals next, you’ll deserve him and the dead planet they’ll create. #auspol #nausea

Part of the problem is racism. Centres rather employ white males as educators than Asian or Black women due to the racism of centre management, other educators, and parents.

I am sorry Melbourne people! I love you all, and I love the city, miss it every day, but no, where I live it is not happening. Not in this proportion, not in this way. We do have mental health problems, we do have drugs, but much less. And once you commit, you stay in.

This! This is wonderful! ❤️

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.” The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

I am so angry! It’s not the kids, it is the adults that needs restrictions! Just as the machete epidemic solved with a metal box, just as mental health solved with unrestricted pills - this social media ban will have the same effect. What the heck Australia? #auspol

This is where democracy fails. We should not honour someone who instigates fear, racism and hatred in the community. We should not allow them to speak in the first place. This is not freedom of speech, this is felony by the books. #auspol #uspol

Hmm! What do you think of this theory?! Could this be the reason left-wing politicians careful of not condemning CK as a person? As Trump’s assassination attempt was most likely an inside job - this might be as well. I wouldn’t be surprised as the post say.

This post is unavailable.

This one as a prime example to my previous post! Just unbelievable. I understand that this is what we taught in school about democracy. But the times are long gone to be this nice. The communication, the tone has changed and the left is getting it all wrong. No need to sugarcoat anymore.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

This Charlie Kirk shooting—the framing is scary. Politicians, even left ones, PM and state leaders, express shock and deep condolences as if he wasn’t a Nazi, racist, homophobic, pro-gun scumbag. None call it what it is. That scares me most! #auspol #CharlieKirk

In a country where human lives meant nothing a few people expandable for the cause. Yeah, right! This came handy doesn’t it?! The critically thinking rest of the world already made a clear choice! Enough of the genocide! 😡 Free Palestine, free Gaza!

Don’t you think there is a pattern here? Censoring and closing one of the oldest literary journal in Australia just like that. If you dare to raise your voice against the live televised genocide - you are a goner. Avenues of free speech in Australia are closing rapidly! #auspol #Meanjin

Any sane person knows that there is no protectionism in tariffs. If anything it will hurt the US’s economy and will do the same with Australia’s if they ever considering it to introduce.

Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has designated the Far Right AfD as an extremist threat. The party could now be disbanded (but won’t be). But expanded surveillance powers can now be used and civil servants may be barred from joining.

I notice we all run out of words to describe what happens in current US politics. But it is along the line of 1930’ Germany. Finding individualists, free spirits, creatives and making them an enemy - all the while for political high scores. Complete madness. #uspol #furries
