Delusions Of Righteousness

Lol... Aussie and NZ Elon Musk fans got ripped off by their own zero. Double bonus: we won't see that ugly monstrosity out here.

"The charge is the mining withholding tax, and it has been quietly eroding Aboriginal capital since 1979" writes Jon Altman, emeritus professor at the Australian National University. Read the full piece on The Point: https://sbrew.link/eMisSh7J

"What is the book that will be written on #AnthonyAlbanese 's prime ministership?" #FranKelly, host of The #RadioNational Hour, recently put this question to veteran political journalist #KerryO'Brien. The former 7.30 host's response was characteristically blunt. #AUSPOL #Neoliberalism #Albo

Lanterns is amazing, one of the best series in any genre I've ever seen. DC is absolutely incapable of this quality. Giving it to HBO was a master stroke. Everything is so well done, and you don't even need any background knowledge whatsoever. What an absolute shame Paramount will ruin it all.

They're only changing the laws because they know that there's no legitimate reason to keep doing this bullshit.

Don Drumpf Jr the junior dick but no less as massive a dickhead as his super massive dickhead father Don Drumpf Senior got his wedding sponsored by a Putin ally. Dick Junior and wife called Umar Kremlev "friend" in an IG post. But it turns out they only met him recently. You couldn't make this up.

Not just one case, but another Israel lobby effort to silence critics of genocide. Mary Kostakidis Antoinette Lattouf Randa Abdel-Fattah Peter Lalor Khaled Sabsabi Dr Mo several writers festivals ...and many more. Without that context, @australia.theguardian.com, you've missed the story. #auspol

On another note Ed Miliband is a courageous human, and a conscientious one at that.

Meanwhile, the Israeli ambassador has "warned" Australia against aligning with the UK, France and Canada in banning trade where Israeli “settler terrorists” are carrying out “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians. Yes fellow Aussies, he's WARNING us. Sounds like there's an "or else" missing there right?

This is pretty significant as the UK joins other western nations is increasing rhetoric and action against Israel's continued genocidal actions in Gaza and the West Bank. Guess which major western nation said they weren't going join them? Yup, Australia.

"Hanson said the average full-time worker earning about $90,500 would get an extra $2300 in their pocket each year. She said the extra $4 a week would be “breathing room”." Lol, that wouldn't get you a cup of coffee in most places in Sydney. Dumb as a doornail and matching charm to boot. Eedjut.

Who do these pollsters talk to? Seriously? A country that soundly rejected the divisive politics of the Libs is suddenly supportive of Hanson? She is worse than all past Lib leaders in every sense: dumber than Dutton, lies even more obviously than Scomo, and is even less credible than Taylor.

Guess all those US military $$$ were too much to resist for this cheaparse treacherous govt.

Agents of chaos indeed 😎

Well then arrest somebody for possession of it. If they trained with it, they "possessed" it. Arrest them.

This is what we’re poisoning Memphis for? 😕 gizmodo.com/grok-not-onl...

ABC here telling us the industrial chicken factory complex is going to increase prices because their feelings said so. Oh thanks ABC, good to know that you are still reporting in the interests of the Australian public whose hard-earned taxes funds your sorry right-wing billionaire-friendly arses.

Two days after Dolly passed away, the Fat Fuck posted a fake image of himself & Dolly insisting that she really liked him, but kept it quiet. Dolly Parton loathed the asshole & refused the Presidential Medal of Freedom twice during his first, fake term. What a fucking loser!

RIP Peter Cullen, the voice of the best Optimus Prime out of all the Optimus Primes. Next perhaps only to James Earl Jones' inimitable Darth Vader, I don't think there is a more recognisable voice in all of history. (I'm sure someone will try to prove me wrong but I will respectfully disagree...)

Great question! Meanwhile the NT is hurtling towards disaster because the dumb AF Libs are hellbent on destroying the rest of us just to line their pockets with useless money. While allowing Americans to build data centres powered by gas close to their army bases. Because they can't beat China.

Surprise surprise. Not.

Israel issues kill order for Palestinian children flying kites The order comes after a manufactured panic following kites that broke loose and landed in Israeli neighbourhoods close to Gaza.

Coles & Woolworths announced billion dollar profits this week while many people can’t afford to eat healthy foods. There is something deeply wrong with this. #auspol

How much manufacturing in Australia happens purely to implicate us in US hegemony? Does suburban Bayswater really possess a unique capability to produce bomb flap actuators for the F-35 “Joint” strike fighter? We’re embroiled, it’s very deliberate and we don’t care one bit.

How despicable. Now watch Albo and the Labor govt pretend this is not a big deal. And probably spruik some fake numbers that were given to them by Woodside themselves.

Errr wot? I don't understand lol.

It's becoming more and more clear that democracy in the US is going to die with the current Trump term.

Oh FFS. These dickhead tech bro billionaires are hell-bent on destroying our world. No wonder they are building apocalypse-resistant bunkers and planning to colonize Mars. They know that sooner or later they are going to have to pay for their crimes to humanity.

The Albanese govt continued to fail the Australian people in favour of vested interests, billionaires, and business. That's cold hard fact, not simply opinion.

Seriously? 🤬

here's the website: aerominetechnologies.com

New Zealand's PM get embarrassed by this courageous man who shouts at him that he supports the Gaza Genocide and the blood of murdered children is on his hands. Members of the audience even clap. No one supports these disgusting War Crimes.

A shithole nation isn’t a poor country that can’t feed its children. It’s a rich country that refuses to do so.

Finally, someone who has more courage than all of the Australian federal and state Labor governments combined. Keep at it Judge Fagan. Also, kudos to Andrew Brown. But I wouldn't call Segal a protagonist as he did in this article. Quite the contrary - she is very much the antagonist.

Oh snap. The awesome Cory Doctorow not just in Australia but also in the awesome Saturday Paper. @doctorow.pluralistic.net @thesaturdaypaper.com.au

For the last 20 years, Australia's largest contributions to global pollution--Coal & Gas exports--has grown unfettered Despite their 94 seat super-majority, the @albomp.bsky.social govt continues to hand out obscene subsidies to fossil fuel industry & approve new/extension Coal & Gas projects

Lol the literal king of quacks has a ringtone that... you guessed it, quacks...

“Muslims are respectful??” “Yes. Extremely.”

Nick McKim lets loose on Labor for being "captured by Zionist interests"—then hits James Paterson straight to the face as he interjects “Mate you’re captured by Zionist interests as well” 🔥 #auspol

When a headline makes a splash it tells you whats important. This week they tell you damage to a footy team is more important than damage to a sex assault victim ..and ”melons”are more important than old people dying waiting for in home care. WTF TruthLies&Media is live! Promo Match Frame Editing

LEFT: Man who raped his own grandson. RIGHT: Man who wants to have sex with his own daughter. These are not well people.

Australian politics heating up on BlueSky today. Top threads: Israel-Palestine court ruling backlash, housing crisis fury, and corruption scandals. The mood? Disillusioned. 🧵1/3

"Outraged" eh? Maybe next time they will do something genuine to make it known they actually care? But of course they wouldn't want to upset their masters.
