Exclusive: Joyce on Rinehart’s support for One Nation The former Nationals leader has confirmed Gina Rinehart is among many β€˜substantial supporters’ he has brought to the far-right party.

Barnaby claims that having billionaires back you is some sort of stamp of approval of your quality.

What it really means, BeetRooter, is that you’re a whore.

ProTip: Don’t. 🚫

Substack allows NAZIs to monetise content on their platform, knows they’re NAZIs, and has elected to do nothing about it because β€œthey’re not breaking our rules”. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

There are other, better platforms available. Even rolling your own site with Wordpress or Django is a better option.

Just reminding everyone that if you don’t like Iran’s Islamic authoritarianism, it exists because the US overthrew a secular socialist Iran in 1953 because BP was losing oil profits.

More than 180 authors quit writers' week. Many returned for a DIY replacement Constellations emerged from the ashes of Adelaide Writers' Week, which was cancelled after authors withdrew over censorship. Organisers share how it came together and lessons for the future.

We stood together against anti-Palestinian racism and they cancelled our festival. So we organised our own.

Very tired now, but very proud of Constellations!

Great in depth coverage from Hannah Story here

Selective Belligerence and Unconditional Surrender What the Iran War May Be Telling President Xi in Beijing and Putin in Moscow

"As the 2nd week of Epic Fury dawns, it is worth pausing the tactical scorecard β€” destroyed missile launchers & sunken Iranian navy ships β€” and asking a tough question. What signal is this war sending to the leaders of China and Russia?" mickryan.substack.com/p/selective-...

I’d forgotten that Hockey cracker 🀣 Managed to forget about him, till Angus Taylor’s ascension reminded me. A lot of similarities those two.

After Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan:
"Now the Australian government supports the US again in another war. But worse this time, because Donald Trump is in charge.

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.

Double Tap? Double Depravity Truth is the first casualty of war, of course but there is one term in the lexicon of modern warfare, a liar’s bible, an ever-expanding dictionary of deception, a corporate-speak all set up to launder...

β€œNow for the question that should be burning a hole through every front page in this country, and is not: where is Australia in all of this?

The answer, which our government would prefer you not dwell on, is that we are in it up to our necks.”

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression β€” Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either

When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars β€” they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

It’s so cool how we’re in a large-scale military conflict and the President is spending his time building a ballroom.

This rocks. I finally know what being a Roman must have felt like.

Israel, which previously denied Ukraine help, is now likely seeking Ukraine's help too.

Zelenskyy: "We're consulting with all the Middle East leaders .. Qatar, Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan. I think today I'll also speak with... I can’t say with whom? Why not?"

Staff: "They asked not to say."

Trivialising people being blown up, during a time when Arabs have been blown up daily for at least the past 2.5 years, is how the media helps normalise the killing of Arabs.

Two gold hoop earrings with sculptural details - each has Eros riding a dove, a bird sacred to Aphrodite. The birds' wings, tail feathers and the down on their heads, as well as the wings of the Erotes are accentuated with beaded wire arranged in circles and long loops.

These delicate, highly detailed gold hoop earrings depict winged Erotes riding doves. The dove, of course, was a sacred bird of Aphrodite (mother of Eros), symbolizing love, beauty, and fertility. 🏺 #ancientbluesky 1/

So 3 Australian personnel were on the US war ship which dropped a torpedo on an Iranian vessel which was accompanying an Indian vessel - and the people from the Iranian vessel were deliberately left for dead.

Is this right? #auspol

The Media Held Politicians To Account During The Iraq War. What Changed? Outside of elections, the media is the only real mechanism of accountability for our government. So far, it's failed to do its job on the illegal war with Iran.

Quite telling to compare how Kerry O’Brien interviewed John Howard about Iraq to Sarah Ferguson’s bizarre efforts this week. I wrote about it www.lamestream.com.au/the-media-he...

Fancy being led into world conflict by such a mob of hateful, reprehensible people. That’s what feels even more devastating this time around. Even in the disaster of the Iraq invasion, while we knew they were lying, they hadn’t been going out of their way to be the most vile, venal criminals.

The excess govt recurrent funding is used for the landscape gardeners. They get special govt funding for the recital halls and swimming pools. Sadly.
