Dutton's one of those self-interested fuckwits whose ethos is based on a 1950s English history book full of righteous old men protecting the women they own and the natives they civilised.

He's a nothing, a dance puppet dance, and dangerous for it.

Trade wars serve no one and have serious side effects on cost of living. A tit for tat game achieves nothing but misery and angst. Let the US do what the US does but let’s negotiate without retaliation. In the end tariffs on imported goods only hurt the domestic economy.

Unambitious and undermined: why NZ’s latest climate pledge lacks the crucial ‘good faith’ factor

Does the government’s recent pledge to step up emissions cuts by as little as 1% really represent New Zealand’s ‘highest possible ambition’ to combat climate change?

What's truly contemptible about Australia's leaders is we know - everyone knows - they privately use expletives like 'Fuckwit,' 'Idiot' and 'Shitcunt' to describe Trump and Musk, while publicly mouthing pleasantries and platitudes.

True cowards. And fuckwits, idiots and shitcunts by proxy.

The failure of Albanese & 🥔 to denounce the Mandarin Mussolini’s plainly and egregiously genocidal plan to enrich himself in #Gaza is, of itself, a hate crime. Well may they hoist themselves on their own petard. #auspol

Is it the $200K+ he was paid as an ineligible senator back in 2017, do you think? I've seen no evidence that he's paid that back yet.

For mine, Israel should be declared a terrorist state (so Australian citizens who have gone to fight for Israel are subject to prosecution). At the very least, such "lone soldiers" are a menace.

Globally, Israel and Israelis are facing isolation as more and more states call for a cessation of their current activities. Developments such as the deaths of aid workers has contributed to the state’s growing pariah status. Domestically, Israel’s actions are becoming increasingly polarising with huge and ongoing protests. Potential for extremism and violence In such circumstances, the potential for extremist violence is heightened, though still uncertain. Several factors warrant particular attention. Firstly, returning lone soldiers are by definition militarily trained, rendering them more capable of inflicting harm than the average citizen. Secondly, there is reason to believe their experiences in Gaza may amount to trauma or desensitisation to extreme violence. Thirdly, upon a lone soldier’s return, not only are they trained for violence and inured to it, but they are likely to encounter hostility or antagonism in a polarised environment where many oppose what they have done and who they are.

Lone soldiers, lone wolves: Are IDF returnees a security threat? - Pearls and Irritations

In the recent past, lone soldiers have received great attention, but the knowledge base and what threats they represent remains incomplete.

In freezing foreign aid, the US leaves people to die – and allows China to come to the rescue

A$95 billion worth of USAID programs have been brought to a screeching halt. It’s a devastating decision for developing nations, but also for US foreign policy.

Amy Remikis has a live blog on The Australia Institute website. She writes:

The Jewish Council of Australia condemns Trump plan to ‘take over’ Gaza
The Jewish Council of Australia has come out with very strong condemnation of Donald Trump’s suggestion the United States will ‘take over’ the Gaza Strip and move Palestinian people elsewhere:

“We furthermore condemn the cynical use of humanitarian language by Trump to justify his egregious plan. This language adds insult to injury given the mounting evidence collected by human rights organisations about Israel’s gross violations of International Humanitarian Law in its 15-months long attack on the Gaza strip. Palestinians have a right to return and a right to remain in Gaza.“

Angus Taylor’s only policy is a lunch led recovery.

Apparently golf is out now, that was a bit of improvisation from old Blokey Dutton.

But Angus forgot to work out the cost.

The cost of his only policy.

Laughable and idiotic, not a treasurer’s arsehole, our Angus.

From Wannon with family that knows Tehan quite well, Liberal royalty who was parachuted into the seat without ever having set foot in it.

And can't stand the leading indy Alex Dyson, a vapid social media shithead riding the (justified) anti-incumbency wave, but can't explain basic concepts like GDP or foreign policy, and just seems to want a parliamentary salary.

Just speculating, but the US 'brain drain' must be off the charts. All that human capital - the basis of all capital - fleeing for its literal liberty and life.

Respect others, especially people different to you (except fascists and their fellow travellers who can diaf). Have the will and curiosity to learn and understand.

Is Peter Dutton deliberately blowing the bloke whistle ahead of the election? 

Peter Dutton is clearly connecting with disenfranchised young men better than progressives and Anthony Albanese are. The risk is how that translates across the electorate.
