Right after Hannah announced her intention to challenge Albo in Grayndler, the Murdoching began. But Grayndler must be the country's most unmurdochable electorate - a proud accolade! #auspol #albo #grayndler #hannah www.innerwestranter.com.au/murdoch-medi...

Pauline Hansen is MAGA in Australia - a foreign influence operation. Tony Abbott's indifference to her rise is not an accident. It's a broadened coalition with Trump, Orban, Bannon and Musk its mentors - generously funded by Gina et. al. #auspol #onenation #maga thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

1/2 Our hopeless mainstream media* will ignore the broader context on Abbott's re-emergence. And won't question his highly relevant links with the Danube Institute, Heritage Foundation, Lachlan Murdoch, Advance, IPA, the Global Warming Policy Foundation, and other dangerous #AtlasNetwork entities.

Your reminder that the new president of Australia’s long-term main “conservative” political party is still, as of midday an active member of a fascistic Hungarian influence-operation. Tony Abbott is a component of a transnational influence operation fighting to break democracy. #auspol

#Netanyahu and his government are outraged by Ben Gvir's hideous violence? So dismiss him and arrest him. He is the minister. Anything less than his dismissal and arrest is proof that his inhumanity and brutality define Netanyahuist Israel. #auspol #zionism

And right on cue, our hosts 'PK & Speersy' pick up the "mass migration" phrase like it's a real thing, rather than a racist disinformation scare slogan pushed by the far right. The Overton window is cracked. #FarrerVotes #auspol

“We’re gonna take away some hard lessons from this. …mass migration (sic) has not worked for this country.” After being thrashed by One Nation, Delusional Angus has decided the best approach is to emulate that racist rabble. And he takes no responsibility for the defeat. #FarrerVotes #auspol

David Speers free hand to Matt Canavan to spew grotesque politics around the murder of an Aboriginal infant, lionising Tony Abbott, is a new low for a man of many journalistic lows. Canavan runs rings around him on every issue. Lies and distortion win. Australia loses. #abc #aupol #speers

Australia’s gas resources belong to Australians, not the gas companies. A minimum 25% gas export tax is only fair. It means Australians get a return on the extraction of our resources and we can fund public programs for the benefit of all. 📷 Credit: Mike Bowers #auspol #politas

Yesterday morning as we looked over Sydney Harbour, discussing the 1942 attack on Sydney by Japanese midget subs, this small sub popped up. I don't think I've ever seen one openly roaming the harbour before? I hope it was one of ours 🙂 Don't think i've seen this before? #sydney #auspol
