Sydneysider, inner westie, parent to zoomers. I'd rather live in a functioning society than pay less tax. I've been very clear about that.

Why does the mainstream media insist on calling the genocidal war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu "Bibi" like he's some lovable uncle? Even the #guardian does it. #media #israel #BenjaminNetanyahu

Here's a fun fact: 15 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia (the others were from Egypt, UAE and Lebanon). In response to the attack the US invaded Iraq 🙃 #terrorism #SaudiaArabia #NineEleven #Iraq #IraqWar

Shout out to #ABC730 for trying to turn a so so story about a dodgy solar battery installer into Pink Bats 2.0. There is literally nothing that they won't try to turn into an anti "Labor" (winch while you're saying it) slur. Well done ... #ABC #auspol #notjournalism #solar #pinkbats

I'm curious ... Did #abc4corners manage to take a swipe at "Labor" in their blockbuster forensic analysis of the canned tomato industry? #4corners #auspol #tomatoes #investigativejournalism #abc #blamelabor

I hear #ABC #4Corners is going to blow the lid of the canned tomato business tonight with a special "forensic analysis." #auspol #tomatoes #cannedtomatoes #communism #china

#SarahFerguson hapless attempt to land a gotcha on #MohammadMarandi She gets caught out spouting RW talking points, then demands he answer a different q rather than the one she actually did ask. Pathetic. #ABC730 #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

Good to see another refereeing clown show at the #WorldCup. The only thing we can be sure of is that any goal scored by Norway will be disallowed after a VAR review. #FIFA is corrupt.

Not at all surprised that Trump has done a complete 180 on the Iran "deal" plans to take over the Strait of Hormuz and "taking" 20% of the oil, considering an invasion of Iran, and threatened to kill the Iranian negotiators. #trump #iran #iranwar

Donald Trump's genius is that he made grievance feel like a path to a better life. Pauline Hanson's fatal flaw is that she wants us all to sink together. No one should be spared the dismal future she sees. #PHON #auspol #trump #populism #grievance #paulinehanson

Strange piece by Michelle Grattan basically transcribing a bunch of things that Tony Abbott said during the week. I thought she was supposed to be some type of politics guru? #auspol #michellegrattan #tonyabbott

I had the weird experience of explaining to someone that One Nation didn't win a third of the seats in the SA election. They won four seats. The mainstream media has talked almost exclusively about #PHON not that #Labor won one of the biggest landslides in aus history. #auspol

This may sound petty, but have you noticed the way #SarahFerguson leans to one side while she's interviewing. You'd think that someone would tell her to sit up straight because it looks weird ... #auspol #ABC730 #leaning
