It means that his process can fuck things up just as effectively as any other process the difference being that his guarantees more damage to the planet.

One thing that many of these men, Musk, Gates, tRump etc., have in common is their sense of humour doesn't really stand out.

As Iran’s exiled prince, I fear for the women Australia couldn’t save Australia has saved six of Iran’s female football squad, but their teammates – and all of Iran’s women – will not be safe until this regime has gone.

Why is the Australian media platforming this fellow?

His father was a CIA/English stooge and this 'prince' has no more valid claim to rule Iran than my cat.

He is the leader of the Iranian democratic opposition because hereditary royalty is always so democratic.

Yeah, he was for sure wedged with the Zionist Federation's seditious invitation to Herzog. Who the fuck are the Zionist federation to set Australia's diplomatic againda?

He had two options. Cave to the Zionist lobby & secure his cushy job, or obey the law & risk getting spilled.

He chose crime.

He will do whatever he sees as the line of least resistance the limp bastard.

As extraordinary as it might seem, many of these policies and decisions are driven by fear of being wedged by Newscorpse.

He licks Murdoch's arse on demand but they will drop him as soon as it suits.

"Mark Withnell ... intentionally misled Department of Social Services (DSS) officers during the preparation of a cabinet submission in 2015."

It is impossible to convince someone that something is white when their entire livelihood depends upon them seeing it is black.

This is exactly how I see it.

Anthony could easily have legislated a voice but he wanted to be seen to be acting, not to actually act.

We have a political class who have never done anything other than politics and who have no idea what to do with political power other than to hang on to it.

Two robodebt officials engaged in serious corrupt conduct, Nacc finds, but Scott Morrison cleared Anti-corruption watchdog makes adverse findings against two former public servants but clears four other individuals

If the answer is that Scott Morrison is innocent then they are asking the wrong questions.

The referendum was a farce orchestrated by Anthony to give the impression that he cared about indigenous Australians when actually, he demonstrates by his political choices, that he doesn't give a flying fuck.

Deaths in custody.

The incarceration of indigenous children.

The list goes on and on...

Labor MPs quietly alarmed by Albanese government’s response to US-Israel strikes on Iran Exclusive: Several MPs question why the party rushed to endorse strikes that were likely in breach of international law

We follow a senile vindictive paedophile into a conflict with no clear objective that could send us all to hell in a handbasket and they are quietly alarmed.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Tehan says Australia now an active participant in Iran war
The shadow energy minister, Dan Tehan, says Australia is now an active participant in the war in the Middle East, after a decision to deploy surveillance aircraft to help protect civilians – including Australian civilians – in the region.

We are on the eve of destruction and never have we been more in need of good effective leadership.

Unfortunately all we have is Dan.

I have just had the very unpleasant experience of seeing Senator James Patterson on TV.

You are not to concern yourself since I switched the sound off quickly and although I have been challenged I am relatively unscathed.
