the key word is expats. When the Home Affairs minister turns his mind to expats, that means white people. It means colonisers and mercenaries. He could turn his mind to the families of Australians in Gaza and Syria and Lebanon but no. White people in the UAE is their reason for burning the planet.

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It is THE fundamental problem. To survive and prosper we must make billionaires history. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

While fuel prices predictably will rise in Australia due to Netanyahu’s 30 yr dream war, has anyone from the MSM asked Angus Taylor about his 2020 $94 million oil reserve in USA for just such an occasion?

πŸ’₯Or was it just another Coalition grifters only lie?

I can't bear it either but is that the end for public broadcasting? This is what the IPA have been gunning for - all of us switching off, the ABC diminished to the point of irrelevance. Is it worth fighting for? Can it be reconfigured for the 21st century?

And further concerns about how involved we are. A leader only gets this "good dog" treatment from Donald when you are indeed being a very good dog.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

The targets in those Gulf states appear to be US bases from which missiles and drones are launched and military aircraft are based, so Australia's 'offer of military support to Gulf nations' is really protection for the US/Israeli war effort. When do we start to resist lawless US coercive control?

What a con. 'Gulf states'...sure. Not the US military. Uh uh, no way. Pinkie promise.

You’re absolutely right, Jon, and that’s what I meant, too. The Australian PM said the Australian crew β€œdid not participate” - that would not have been an option for them, and they were put in that position by a government that failed to understand the risks of Aukus under Trump.

Note that the man antisemitism envoy Segal picked for her uni review is linked to Atlas Network partner the Centre for Independent Studies (with his brother Peter at the IPA).

You bet it was. PR consultant took two bites out of it and said, "Hold this. It will look like we've just caught you taking a break at the end of a long day. It's the first thing you've eaten since breakfast." Wink.

From Afghanistan to Iraq, we have seen it time and time again, the US betraying the people it said it would protect. The US is not a force for peace, Trump does not care about the Iranian people and the US and Israel are not bombing Iran for peace.

Just a reminder that corporate profits are very very high right now, at the same time the media and big business and the Reserve Bank is telling you that inflation is YOUR fault.

Albanese’s decision will follow him into the history books – and define us too Anthony Albanese’s refusal to assist Australian women and children in Syrian detention camps may prove to be the defining act of his prime ministership – not for its prudence, but for what it reveals ...

This excoriating piece was originally published in the Canberra Times. It strikes me that the most insightful phrase is "the limits of political calculation". johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03... #Auspol

+1 vote for going back to live broadcast, Jo! The immediacy is vital. And tech glitches are just part of that. Insiders is slick and formulaic. You are the anti-insiders!

Lying about his values to get into power then? Or lying about his values to hold onto power now?

Lying. I think I'm going with lying is the pattern.

You can’t afford to put food on the table while Coles & Woolies use fake discount claims to rake in mega profits.

Two weeks ago Labor, the Liberals & One Nation all voted against the Greens Bill to make price gouging illegal.

Still think they’re fighting for you?

One word unravels Albanese's week The prime minister was this week evacuated from the Lodge over a bomb threat and later got stuck in a tit-for-tat with a former Australian of the Year.

Very true - but that’s what happens when you ain’t doing anything else worth talking about.
Labor’s complete lack of meaningful activity is why we spend every week talking about immigration, Hanson and whatever dumb shit Albanese also said to Karl Stefanovic

The Zionist lobby, antisemitism and Herzog Australia’s political and media response to Gaza, including the invitation to Israel’s president, reflects the influence of pro-Israel lobbying and the shrinking space for lawful criticism.

The real source of social unrest is the Israeli lobby. Zionist thieves, supremacists, and never commits to the truth. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...
