By my calculation, Singapore is a lot closer to "you know who" and they are ok with a diesel sub, but then we couldn't have an Asian country in the tent, could we? And #SUKUS would be so more appropriate. We are all suckers, after all

50 years ago, #GoughWhitlam became the 1st Labor PM to win a 2nd consecutive term. Only Hawkie has done it since. Here's hoping Albo makes the trifecta next year 🙏 #auspol

Why do you persist in treating this as if it's a serious policy issue? Anyone paying attention knows it's a smoke screen to keep coal going, and so Spud can beat up on renewables. I've stopped buying your paper coz you treat us as mugs #auspol

We haven't even had the consolation prize of a VFL win in the last couple of weeks. It's all heading south for North #AFLNorthCrows

Qld are set to get Campbell Newman 2.0. This automaton #Crisafulli looks like he'll flame out in his 1st term too #qldpol
It's quite bizarre to see so much fulminating and self-righteous indignation about #TikTok and its owners on a platform run by a fascist
Schama's perverse rendering of history now puts him in the same hall of shame as Ferguson and Fukuyama. Portraying #Israel as a benign vassal of Jewishness is offensive beyond words

Londoners choose their next mayor in a week's time. Labor puts up a 2 time winner. Tories put up #SusanHall. She makes Liz Truss look like a pro. The Right is such a shambles everywhere.
A RW Jew QTs another RWNJ and both conveniently forget to mention that the "patriots" are fascist thugs. But yeah, the Palestinian marches are the real problem #StGeorgesDay

So glad to see the PM commemorating #AnzacDay at #Kokoda. There should be a lot more focus on this and #Tobruk. WWII forged the country we are today. WWI showed we were still a colonial outpost
As Israel attacks a city at the heart of Iran's nuclear program, a reminder that the Obama-Biden administration had largely curtailed the Iranian nuclear threat, but Trump and Netanyahu ripped up the agreement, leaving Iran today very close to a bomb. nytimes.com/2024/04/19/us/…
