Of course it does!
The NACC was specifically designed by the duopoly - the LNP IPA and Labor - just for exactly this outcome
The duopoly exists to preserve power at any cost
Even at the cost of justice
Even at the cost of ignoring the thousands of suicides by elected govt HUNTING citizens down

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.
And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.
• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree
Disgraceful dereliction of duty
Last week a US nuclear submarine torpedoed an Iranian vessel in the Indian Ocean, leaving the sailors to drown; 3 Australians were aboard the attacking submarine.
They were there because of #AUKUS, the $368b deal that entangles Australia in America's wars, signed by Scott Morrison.
1/3
Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."
So disappointed to hear Scott Morrison hasn’t met consequences over Robodebt. He never met consequences over Higgins, over Sportsrorts, over anything! How does he constantly get away with both being in charge but also taking no responsibility?
And ‘Cosplay’ Canavan is the new leader of the Nationals!
He’s probably the most right-wing, out of touch person in the Nationals!
We can look forward to more advocacy for fossil fuels, for nuclear, and a tirade against modern, educated Aussies who he just thinks are woke.
“Podium” is now a verb! 😡
As a purely political matter, it shouldn't be hard to say, "hey, you know that agency with armed, masked men who kidnap your neighbors, throw tear gas at peaceful protestors, & turn cities that offend Stephen Miller into war zones? Yeah, we're not going to fund it anymore."
Sorry, Peter Hartcher (SMH 7/2) but I beg to differ. Herzog is implicated in Gaza.
The second our government begins to act "justly" in favour of one demographic but not so for another (or others) is the very second we must start questioning whether, on balance, they deserve to even be our government.
Albo seems to think sitting on the fence is the 'seat of government'. It's not.
Do we have no brains at all? Or respect?
"... teeming with threatened species."
"...the Forestry Corporation of NSW (FCNSW) is proposing to log a cloud forest in southern NSW teeming with threatened species is another reminder of the spiralling decline of the native forest logging industry."
Screenshot of an X.com post by Gavin Newsom (@GavinN…) with text: “Censoring books. Rewriting history. Attacking independent institutions. Using military force against American citizens. This is what authoritarianism looks like. Wake up.” Below is a video thumbnail of Newsom speaking at the World Economic Forum with a blue WEF backdrop.
Are we paying attention yet, America?
So ... like I Q'd in an earlier post. Are we stupid? What the hell is going on here that Murray Watt decides that this endangered species - which every Australian is a custodian of, not just his right royal self - can lose their life to a foreign miner.
1/21/2026 - Minneapolis
Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment
At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children
More than discussion is required - leadership and courage is! #auspol
Liam Ramos, a preschooler ICE detained the five-year-old Minnesota boy as he returned home from school and transported him to a detention center in Texas.
Yup
Very important article by @amyremeikis.bsky.social
'When those laws were passed, it was about shoring up the major party duopoly. But in rushing to support Labor’s laws, the Coalition has handed the electoral hangman its own noose.'

Gaza before the Genocide.😢😢😢
Gareth Evans:
"Trump’s Venezuela actions and grotesque Greenland rhetoric put beyond doubt that his America has zero respect for international law, morality, and the interests of its allies and partners."

I see Hockey still doesn't have a fucking clue.
From the man who said "Poor people don't own cars."
“The Australian people would see it as smart and magnanimous,” Hockey, a former treasurer, told this masthead.

These are absolutely monstrous people
"Mr. Thompson’s resignation came after senior DOJ officials pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of the widow of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent"
"Australia, in its own pissant, toytown way... In the wake of Bondi, we’re embarking on a full-scale assault on free speech." @keanebernard.bsky.social www.crikey.com.au/2026/01/14/a...
All Peter Malinauskas' words about Randa Abdel-Fattah are a false equivalence, ignoring the dynamic of oppressed and oppressor. Palestinian resistance is legal and justified. Israeli genocide is not. I've seen far too many dead kids to tolerate any of this racist, moronic dribble.
Russia offers to help the U.S. Military sink NATO ships
If this doesn’t convince Repubs something is terribly wrong, nothing will
Evil is brazenly and unashamedly strutting the world stage, killing as it goes.
