Scene is a room at the White House. On the left, Pete Hegseth is lifting a weight with a macho posture. Marco Rubio saying "who says we DON"T have a plan?" while standing next to a whiteboard that has "Operation EPIC FURY 1. Kill Leader 2. Win War 3. Collect spoils and peace prizes" On the far right Trump is sitting on a throne dressed as a King, holding a diet coke and burger

ICYMI- yesterday's #Iran cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com

It took two hours for Albanese to declare support for the latest US/Israeli war crimes.

How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?

The ALP in your head is long dead.

As violence spreads across the Middle East now more then ever we need our Government to be a force for peace. That starts with withdrawing support for US-backed forever wars.

3 Australians involved.

Offs -
Why is our national broadcaster running this rubbish?

Shooters warn gun crackdown could backfire at Victorian election Shooting groups say tighter firearm laws could cause recreational shooters to change their votes as the Victorian government conducts a review into firearms reform following the Bondi terror attack.

Bollocks - they’re all rightwing voters anyway.

Imagine having a leader with this courage.

AUKUS is a money pit and an ethical quagmire that Australian voters had, and have, no say over.
Damn Labor and damn the LNP

Has anyone figured out the reason why the USA started a war with Iran 5 days ago yet?

As a middle power, Australia should be careful what it wishes for when it comes to an illegal war with Iran | Andrew Wilkie I resigned from the intelligence services over the fraudulent case for the invasion of Iraq in 2003. And I see some alarming parallels with this case

We need more #independents like @andrewwilkiemp.bsky.social instead of the sycophantic appeasing govt we’re stuck with currently.

Ralph Babet refuses to accept sanction over ‘offensive’ and ‘disrespectful’ comments on social media United Australia party senator says commission findings are ‘dumb’ and he will not undergo ‘ridiculous’ sensitivity training after posting slurs online

Babet was censured in the Senate for “his inflammatory use of hate speech, designed to drive division”. He refuses to undergo sensitivity training. Arrest him under the new hate speech laws, then! #auspol He's not above the law.

And I thought Turnbull was a disappointment as PM…

that was nothing on Albanese.😔🤦

Albo is wrong.
Australia does not support this Trump-Netanyahu illegal aggression.

Nor do we support his cringeworthy and dangerous excuse for a foreign policy: 'All the way with Donald J.' #auspol

France, Germany and UK urge Iran to ‘negotiate solution’ after attack Rare joint statement from leaders of European nations makes clear they did not participate in US-Israeli strikes

Whereas our guy just backs in war - at what cost to us??
