Ok Trump, pick on someone your own age! Start with Jesse. I know who my money’s on, set up the octagon on the White House lawns again and televise it. You’ll make a fortune!

Funny how an American Muslim candidate is often questioned about extremism, linked to radicalism, and called names by Trump and his ilk. I wonder why they don't ask Jewish American candidates about Israel, the genocide in Gaza, the West Bank, or what lies children in Israel are taught about Muslims?

No child is undergoing transgender multilizations at schools, however, because of Republicans, children are frequently being killed and mutilated by guns at schools.

Turns out transphobes are also misogynists. Weird!

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Jared Kushner received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia & the UAE to carry out political favors and was encouraged to keep the money in Israel’s central bank. This is the biggest corruption scandal in political history. Kushner has managed to outcrime Trump!

As the Australian parliament was working on taking the heat out of political debate, in Queensland Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie was at his horrible best doing the opposite. Speaker Pat Weir had earlier called for more respect in the chamber after the Helen Haines attack. #qldpol

We’re all wishing Helen Haines a speedy recovery. She is warm, committed, smart, respectful and one of the most effective champions of integrity in public life. She has already changed Parliament for the better more than anyone else.

Oh my god #USA, please sort yourselves out starting with the midterms. Your government is being run by actual morons who either deliberately lie through their teeth about everything important or are too stupid to know they're lying through their teeth about everything important.

Senator Bridget McKenzie is appalled that the prime minister was caught pork barrelling for a golf club. McKenzie much prefers to pork barrel for gun shooting clubs. Meanwhile Albo's claim it was to fix sewerage falls apart. It was just pork barrelling. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10... #auspol

If the Dems win the House and Senate, Trump is going lash out violently towards people (and countries) He is so sure of both his popularity and his ability to rig the vote. If that fails, his anger and frustration (and anger about his frustration) will be total

Segal’s role ( which she is getting paid an obscene amount of money for) should include a trip to Gaza to experience the horror of genocide we are exposed to every day streamed into our homes & then report back to ‘her’ Jewish community

No one should have to choose between the life they’ve built here in Australia and the parents they left behind. The Greens are fighting for a system that lets families have both. Because of a go-slow on processing by Govt a parent visa today means waiting 18 to up to 42 years.

We keep telling the government - we don't want automated robo-debt, or data centres everywhere, or aged-care assessment by algorithm, or non-professional NDIS decisions. Employ real people. Pay real wages. Fix hospitals & schools. Tax the squillionaires & giant companies. Can't be any clearer.

Penny Allman-Payne@pennyallmanpayne.com

Older people have been saying this for months. Labor's automation of aged care assessments has been a disaster, under-assessing need and priority, denying care and driving up waitlists. It's past time to bin the whole thing and put humans back in charge of decision-making.

Sounds like they should only be available by prescription. Would end worries about perverts using them. Not great for Meta’s profits so you won’t see that being suggested.
