NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Excellent resource allocation by the party that boasts about being economically superior. They got one Tim Wilson and Labor got 94 of 150 available seats.
Shrewd.

The greatest gift anyone could ever give me was helping this little book beat Tony Abbott’s myth making of Australia. Thank you 😭

What would be the most Canadian thing to do for PM
@MarkJCarney (below) when he visits Canberra - an ice hockey game? Travelling media would love it - enough suits/speeches/soggy sandwiches. Carney played hockey for Harvard (84-86) and Oxford (92-95). www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2025/03....

Needed in MSM news but unlikely. Never perfect, but there was a range of MSM voices, and sensible background and analytical articles readily available to all consumers of news. If people wanted tabloid drama and gotchas, they knew they were consciously purchasing them. Lots of same song sheet now.

Curling is coming to Canberra in the form of a beginner program at Phillip Ice Rink. Blame (in a good way) the Winter Olympics! Keep an eye on ACT Ice Sports' website for full details when the program is finalised including dates, times and other requirements. See comments for link.

For the Australian anti-immigration rabble. One in three workers was born o/s: 40% hospo & finance workforce, migrants; 37% manufacturing workers, migrants; 40% of 400,000 aged care /35% childcare workers, migrants; 30% doctors, 20% nurses & 25% construction, migrants. via @keanebernard.bsky.social

@tonyburkemp.bsky.social is absolutely on top of his brief on the repatriation of ISIS brides/wives & why their horrific decision to take their children into a war zone had serious consequences —today. Yet 40 ISIS fighters & wives returned under the Coalition which is ignored! Ain’t easy. #abc730

Gregory Bovino Gets Demoted The Border Patrol chief was the public face of a traveling immigration crackdown on cities governed by Democrats.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

My journey from foreign correspondent to Uber driver in Trump's America I once documented human displacement and desperation; now I am living it

"I do not fear different cultures or languages ... most people, no matter their nationality, fall into two categories: parents who want to help their children succeed in life, and youth chasing their dreams." Stunning read via Stdeve Scherer. Be surprised! bit.ly/4qR3pRO

So think about these two facts:
1.The US imported almost $6B worth Danish pharmaceuticals in 2023: mostly Novo Nordisk's Ozempic & Wegovy diabetes/weight loss. $1B of that $6B was insulin: 75%of total US consumption.
Do we all get why the Danish PM said in Davos "everything is on the table now"?

LOSER. A new definition of loser as epitomised by Linda Reynolds. Be gone with yourself, woman. You're a disgrace to all women, in fact to all humankind. Go quickly, quietly. You're still irrelevant. And most importantly: you are NOT the victim no matter how much you want us to believe you are.

With ACT developers Geocon's (lessees) support, the ACT Ice Sports Fed'n petition (calling on the design/build and project reporting of the new twin-sheet ice sports facility in Tuggeranong to be expedited), is now available to be signed upon entry at the Phillip ice rink. Let's. Do. It!

Starting December 10, sites that meet the Australian government's definition of an "age-restricted social media platform" will need to show that they're doing enough to eject or block children under 16 or face fines of up to 49.5 million Australian dollars ($32 million).

11 out of 12 NHMRC ideas grants are rejected. Our medical researchers are scrambling to eke out a living on meagre salaries and short term contracts, while populist grifters like Hanson, on high salaries and ‘side gigs’, make out like bandits

Something is seriously wrong with this picture, AUS

Only 35 days to Christmas ...

But obviously in Australia we'd never let govt agencies use algorithms to generate false debts based on artificial assumptions, so this should be fine ...
