Ahhh—remembering those heady days in Oct 2025 when @SenatorWong was waxing lyrical over Donald Trump declaring a "ceasefire"—a "singular achievement" which Penny found "extraordinarily moving" that "only POTUS could bring about" and how Donny deserved "enormous congratulations."

Jacqui Lambie really unloaded on ON’s Mark Nicholson (fake criminal lawyer), says he should “not be in parliament” for refusing to apologise for his misogynistic cartoon & claiming it’s his “job to pick on ppl”
Lambie “He should drop out”🔥
Grown man bullying women—yep, drop out

"Senior CSIRO scientists are discussing scenarios in which parts of northern Australia become unliveable and reef ecosystems collapse, and asking why the country is not confronting those risks openly."

The die-hards really are as blind and illogical as they believe the other side is.
Their guiding light should be truth and justice and decency - not simply barracking for a team regardless because somehow they believe this is all about teams and binaries.
I wrote an article last week about men's violence where I also called out Albanese for his misogynistic manner and selfie love with Trump. The usual rusted suspects rolled up to - no, not to support or discuss the core problem of men's violence against women - but to bleat that I had "bashed" Albanese. Let me tell you I didn't even get out of 2nd gear about him in that article. Didn't even get my nails wet.

That one child was sniped in the head—
That one child was dismembered by shrapnel—
That one child was vapourised by a bomb—
That one child was crushed under the rubble—
That one child was starved to death—
That one child was denied medical care—
Each one was one too many.

Can someone administer a Mini Mental test to Don? He appears to be losing this grip on reality.

Oh gawd. @DHughesy had a crack at the great @ALeighMP, comparing what Andrew earns with what nurses earn. We've plonked his clip with some commentary below, which exposes the absurdity of #Hughesy's rant.
He's fkn lost the plot.
Oh, DAVINA. #Hughesy. You do realise that when you start lecturing people about fairness and nurses' wages, somebody might actually examine YOUR earnings?
Let's have a little look, shall we?
FIRSTLY, THE TWO-MILLION-DOLLAR COMEDIAN.
In January 2018, Radio Today named you among radio personalities reportedly earning a couple of MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
That's TWENTY TIMES the $100,000 you say nurses earn, Davina.
And approximately 5.7 TIMES Andrew Leigh's $350,000.
You weren't even funny.
▓ ⛐ 𖧀 So, if that's your filter, HOW'S THAT FAIR ON NURSES, DAVE?
PLEASE TELL US.
SECONDLY, THE JUNGLE MILLIONAIRE.
In 2025, Pedestrian.TV reported that you had allegedly negotiated $250,000 to appear on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS.
Not for a year's work. Not for a full-time job looking after sick people.
FOR APPEARING ON A FUCKING REALITY TV SHOW.
That's TWO AND A HALF TIMES the annual salary you just attributed to nurses.
▓ ⛐ 𖧀 So, if that's your filter, HOW'S THAT FAIR ON NURSES, DAVE?
PLEASE TELL US.
THIRDLY, THE $1.65 MILLION MAN.
WHO magazine published an estimate of your annual entertainment earnings in 2020.
$1,650,000 A YEAR.
That's 16.5 TIMES your nominated nurse's salary.
And approximately 4.7 TIMES Andrew Leigh's salary.
For telling jokes, Davina. Some of which, we're assured, were intentional.
▓ ⛐ 𖧀 So, if that's your filter, HOW'S THAT FAIR ON NURSES, DAVE?
PLEASE TELL US.
AND NOW, THE PROPERTY PORTFOLIO.
Remember that $3.07 MILLION investment property you purchased from The Block?
In 2017, property journalists reported that the purchase could potentially generate nearly $2.4 MILLION in depreciation deductions over time.
That's potentially millions in tax deductions, Davina. Not proof you claimed them all, of course, but an interesting little detail when you're lecturing everyone about tax fairness.
And you've been enthusiastically defending capital gains tax concessions.
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT FAIRNESS FOR NURSES, DAVE.
PLEASE. FUCKING. TELL. US.
FINALLY, A LITTLE MATHEMATICS LESSON.
You said Andrew Leigh earns $350,000 and nurses earn $100,000.
Then declared that Leigh earns THREE TIMES what nurses earn.
$350,000 ÷ $100,000 = 3.5.
THREE POINT FIVE, DAVINA.
Not three.
▓ ⛐ 𖧀 You couldn't even get the fucking arithmetic right in your own lecture.
Your little attempt to attack Andrew Leigh becomes a fizzing mess when we apply YOUR OWN MEASURING STICK to YOUR reported earnings.
You introduced nurses' salaries as the benchmark, not us.
We simply applied it to you.
And apparently, by your own standards, you've got some explaining to do.
You're not very fucking bright, are you?
(Rhetorical, Hughesy. Rhetorical.)
Thanks for the material Dave. You make our lives so much more fun.

"No more David versus Goliath, no more being 'the chosen people', the only victim in history. Instead, a rogue apartheid state that abuses thousands of detainees held without trial, carries out pogroms against innocent people, committed genocide in Gaza—"

The NT Government is using Federal money to weaponise their justice system against the most marginalised communities - I asked the Minister if it was time to think about putting that money somewhere else.

Congratulations President Lula. Demonstrates you don’t need to capitulate to Trump’s intimidation, interference and aggression.
Lessons for our politicians?
Hugh de Beer retweeted
Hooray! Optimism is not an eye disease! Serbian students have taught Vučić a lesson; his government failed the election test. And the rain forest is safe after Lula’s victory in Brazil. For once we’re not reading the news between clenched & trembling fingers. Midterm wins next.

Politicians telling us to ‘turn down the temperature’ is peak hypocrisy, @AmyRemeikis writes.
"Why is it the people pointing to the fire are those being told to stop being so vocal about it?"
"And what of our leaders who urge us to turn down the temperature? The same leaders who take selfies with Donald Trump ..."

Let's be honest here.
After the never ending circus Australians have witnessed from the pro-Israel lobby over the past couple of years, selling chocolate crackles would put "fear into the Jewish community."
Everything and anything is hijacked by them and inflated with their own special brand of puffery and paranoia.
