One week in Australia. Angie Bell calling for PM and Anne Aly to be “stoned in the square”. Hanson’s One Nation ridiculing JacquI Lambie. Helen Haines physically attacked with an SUV. All violent acts of word and deed against women MPs. And that’s one week. It needs to stop.

And we are live! Massive thanks to everyone who contributed to this. Reading your posts made me so much madder than I ever knew was possible

”we are incompetent at war”. And yet, Australia’s credulous leaders keep tightening the ties we have with these incompetents.

Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.

There aren't enough of us doing politics right now. We can tell, because our politicians are so contemptuous of the grassroots that they will sell us out without a moment's hesitation, smugly certain that they will face no consequences for doing so: pluralistic.net/2026/09/22/h...

See the latest Michael West Media report on BHP’s nefarious activities. As an aside there is a big clue as to why coal mines keep getting approved by Labor

Ray Martin was on ABC's #TheAssembly last night, answering questions from aspiring journalists on the spectrum. As a kid in the late 1970s I wrote to Mr Martin asking"how do you become a journalist". His answer was a 6 page typed letter on 60 minutes letterhead.

Well done Belgium

The team was in the eye of a storm over a controversial phone call from President Trump to FIFA's head about a red card on a U.S. striker. But even with the U.S. at full strength, Belgium easily won. n.pr/4vQPjTi

What a dark day for FIFA. What next? A word in the ear of the ref? VAR teams siding with the US on margin calls? Something like this was always on the cards. The ridiculous FIFA peace prize awarded by the unctuous Infantino felt like the appetizer.

Nick McKim completely unloads on Pauline Hanson’s fake patriotism & ‘Israel First’ agenda, “One Nation is Israel first, US & Donald Trump second, Pauline Hanson herself third & the rest of us dead last.” A party made up of “white collar criminals”, “sex offenders” & “Nazis”🔥🎯

“Australians, however, will tolerate being looked down on by the rich and the corrupt, but not by the intelligent”.

Lively demolition of Hanson & her rabble by #malcomknox in SMH. She uses her stupidity as a shield, & Aust public far too forgiving of fools, & too anti the more able. A history of anti-intellectualism keeps hindering us

Spent most of the day with my Dad in aged care. EVERY single staff member today was from somewhere else. We need more aged care facilities in the near future. F#ck does PH think will be working there? Or will she abolish aged care too?

Fmr KPMG Snr Partner Julian McPherson who resigned following his role in KPMG’s latest scandal, which involved leaking client data, admits he authorised KPMG to search the whistleblower’s laptop saying he feared their data might be leaked.🙄 Senate in hysterics over the hypocrisy.🔥 #auspol

Last night my dinner table was full of family, with English and Cantonese sprinkled together. That's not a problem to be fixed, it’s the best of this country. Pauline Hanson wants you scared of dinner tables like this so you never ask why her billionaire mates get richer while your rent goes up.

The uber rich are the enemy. Swine, indeed

Lucy Hamilton@lucyham.bsky.social

I got really mad. Our newest trillionaire is treating people, now in Belfast, like tamagotchi. These swine are playing with us. They own more that they could spend in a million lifetimes and choose to destroy us instead of fix things (even those problems causing the migration they hate). #auspol

Far left barely exists in any power assessment. It’s a manufactured threat from the big money to scare the petite bourgeoisie. We need our class consciousness back, understanding that to the mega rich, all of us are valueless dreck. But our class struggle must make no sacrifices of the vulnerable.
