Australian. Watching other democracies get destroyed. Same media owners here as US and England so can see it coming.

After watching some of the political ads and docos around the Victorian elections how about a law banning the use of AI and any imaginary content in future. So simple really, show something truthfully or be open to being sued/ or criminally held to account.

So just going over some stats as France is in the news and their debt is growing. I checked Australian debt at 18.8% of GDP and the US at 126% of GDP. Why do the locals here worry about fiscal management in this country.

One day all those that post under handles that they feel will hide them from the people they abuse will realise that AI can connect the dots and will sell/give their identity to the world.

So Musk limits starlink access to Ukraine resulting in civilian deaths and reduced ability to defend against missiles and drones. Wishing for an alternative to starlink sooner than later.

Have to agree with David Pocock that the government needs to look at our lobbying rules or we will follow the US down the tube. They already lead the parties away from what their voters want and leave them to the mad minorities at election time. I feel sorry for Labor as they aren't listening.

Well the federal Gov is trying to rain in the disaster funding model and make it 50/50 with state split. Having once been an accessory of damage I know that a lot of poor maintenance issues resulted in unnecessary damage from events. Maybe now the state will help the local government manage issues.

It's no good farmers and universities talking to the ABC about how the visa slowdown is buggering up the economy. Demand that 1N answer them as to how they are going to keep going with 1N's stupid proposed policies and the government responding to the populist media scream over immigration.

Ex nationals leader apparently want the Queensland state planning minister to stop an approved wind farm in his electorate. I bet his electorate would be screaming if a coal mine was proposed for the same area. They are as backward as 1N in this state.

Here we go again big investment in oil stocks and the yanks attack a heap of tankers. Now the Houti's virtually have control of the Red sea after taking a Yemen port city. Think that would be a checkmate in any other economic war.

So P. Hanson's idea to use super for wages will increase inflation, raise rents and destroy retirement incomes. Great that will help! Stupid stupid woman and Barnaby looks like a fool standing beside her.

As I have always believed Labor has moved too far to the centre and as the coalition goes right the Labor party has followed up the scale. Time to let the left faction have a little bit of a go at getting some policies on the table that show some difference between the big 2.

No wonder people are pissed at some Australian Jewish organisations and our government when you hear that complaints against a US comedian will slow his visa application to a standstill but members of the IDF that have been under investigation for crimes in Gaza are here. Not a good look!

About time we see Jewish Australians push back against Jillian Segal and Israel's definition of anti semitism as I see no connection between a right winged fascist state government and the religion it claims to defend. I am disappointed the Labor government has tied themself to her.

Not sure if having a go at the banks adds up. The super industry in AU is worth 4.4 trillion and a lot is invested in the US so really AU has a bit of pull in that economy but a lot of risk as well.

Mark Carney's search at Davros is well worth a read and a good reason for Australia to dump the aukus deal and spend that money on our own R&D and infrastructures for the future needs.

Bloody great the liberals are pushing for changes to the superannuation rules to make them more like the US and others. Claiming it hasn't helped enough people get off the pension. It helps a lot to survive on the pension but!

Let's be clear. A change of power in the US will do nothing for the world's economy or the majority of people. They dropped the corporate tax rate from 52% in 1968 to its current rate around 21%. All economies had to follow suit or lose corporations altogether. Someone has to pay the shortfall.

So it would seem that Blanche has been confirmed. Trump's option was to withdraw the nomination and keep him as the temp in place and then renominate him. Either way he is in place to stop all confirmations of the dem winners at the mid terms when Trump wants to stop them.

Well Pauline's at the EKKA flogging MAGA caps. Here we go again another bot supported idiot now claiming Islam is a disease. Maybe we need another Royal commission into Muslim bashing and how uncomfortable this sort of behaviour will make this section of the community.

Pauline's policy wants all self funded retirees to get the health care card. They do! Remember her sit down with Tommy Robinson who visited Putin with Musk's father recently. Musk gave up on Farage and may pick Tommy as the new Fascist messiah for Britian. Will Pauline get the nod for Australia?

So Garage throws his support behind Pauline. He now has financial issues and heads of stage. One Nation in QLD won't submit an audited financial report for years and her supporters think she is being picked on. MAGA's works for Australian supporters of far right politicians as well.

Apparently Pauline has shucked another tanty and banned the Age, ABC and the Guardian from her press conferences. I think they are then entitled to refuse to mention One Nation completely until she lifts it. It is hardly unbiased if you cannot get the first person perspective.

Dickheads should research, then they might find that it is the lack of physical activity that allows testosterone levels to reduce in males. Tell me the average male works or plays as hard as they had to in earlier times. Don't even service their own car or mow a lawn on average.

Facts reported by the ABC show Adani corporation have paid no corporate tax since opening the Carmichael mine in 2021 and again nothing this year even after pulling out 1 billion dollars worth of coal. Did manage to give the Lib/Nats $600,000 prior to the state election in 2024. Nothing to see here.

So now the Jewish groups at the royal commission are pushing for armed security guards to be allowed to be used at events in Australia. We saw how well private contractors guarding food distributions in Gaza worked. Hire police like everyone else does and ask for them to be allowed to be armed.

I don't know how much income the Australian governments would lose but if states removed sales tax as the capital territory has done for pensioners downsizing their home it could lift the numbers of houses in the market which all seem to claim is needed.

Wait till Pauline finds out that Trump has frozen wind farms as a security risk because drones might hide in them. She will jump on that band wagon for sure. No fact checking and no logic just wind her loony faction up for sure.

So if all states in Aus removed sales tax from pensioners trying to downsize the reality is that a lot would make the change freeing up housing for families all over Aus. Real-estate fees and sales tax are just too much to make a change aforwardable.

So Pauline Hanson thinks everything went wrong in Aus after the white Australia policy was thrown out. I agree with some commentators that it's a waste of time attacking her but all of her supporters should be singled out personally for following her as they can't pick and choose policies to support

Just looked up Pauline Hanson's mate Tommy Robinson's crime list on Google. She seems really proud to be associated with this thug and fraudster.

@gtconway.bsky.social I don't understand why all independent politicians aren't asking the government why Australia isn't reviewing all agreements with the US as their leader is a judged Criminal and has tied its military to the IDF. Set the bar for the rest of the world maybe?

I wonder if tRump has realised that as with Epstein once he is no longer President and of use to either the Israelis or the Russians they will want to silence him to remove any connections.

Good to see the federal independents try and form a party. This might correct the imbalance in their financing that the Libs and Labour tried to wipe them out with.

Poor old Pauline having to backtrack on her statements made at the press club address once the backlash started. This will be the standard process till she fails again. She wants everyone to speak english but cannot use the language properly, still.

So Pauline will only talk to commercial media that is sympathetic and managed by the billionaire right wing. Someone should remind her that this isn't the US and she can still be pulled up for being a liar herself.

So it now becomes clearer that Pauline's supporter outnumbered journalists with vocal support at the press club. Maybe this should be monitored and managed so that reporters were the people who would be responding to her performance. Sounds like a stage managed show by Gina again

I think i am seeing the picture here and I should stop talking about one nation and concentrate on their supposed supporters. Not real bright to think the policy statements are good and not much more should be said after that.

So who were the piss ant reporters that applauded Pauline for slamming a couple of female journalists because they asked sensible questions and she didn't like the organisations they worked for.

So China puts their Uyghurs in work camps and the world complains. The US does the same with suspected illegals and the world governments are quite.

So Pauline admits she consults with Gina on policy for One Nation. I wonder if Gina's favourite colour is orange. That must be of prime importance.

Pauline and the orange party start a new website for donations and claim massive amounts of money. Don't care but have a suspicion as to who would be the main donor.
