Australian PM’s department drops widely mocked ‘phallic’ women’s network logo Emblem featuring cursive W with a purple protuberance removed ‘pending consultation with staff’

The Coalition thinks the best way to resolve its issues with female voters is to elect two 'men', Angus Taylor and Matt Canavan, to run the Liberal and National Parties.

The LNP's three main policies are:
- Misogyny
- Islamophobia
- Anti-Renewables.

The Coalition has sunk to its lowest primary vote on record, 19%, under Angus Taylor.

Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus.

The Liberal Party dumped Sussan Ley because of bad #polls. When’s the next #libspill?

Trump’s ‘free flow of energy’ vow fails to restart shipping in strait of Hormuz Only two vessels not linked to Iran or Russia have braved ‘chicken run’ since US president’s promise on Friday

The Strait of Hormuz is still closed.
The oil isn’t getting through.

Donald #Trump has added $2.5 TRILLION to the national #debt in just over a year.

What happened to Elon Musk and #DOGE?

Oh yeah, that was a scam to hack the personal and financial details for hundreds of millions of Americans to rig the 2026 mid-term elections and the 2028 Presidential elections.
