The Brown Note

Albo Cancel AUKUS

Even for Scott Morrison - the worst human being to have ever led Australia - with a litany of terrible acts, the AUKUS defence pact is likely his most awful legacy. Wedding us as handmaidens to the USA for decades to come, at exactly the worst possible time, with only the UK for company, for $368 Billion and no one has any idea what that actually entails. With Trump likely to move the goal posts every month, Anthony Albanese, you have the political capital and strength to cancel the worst deal in Australian history.

Palestinian Recognition is Everything Wrong With Keir Starmer

UK prime minister and Labour leader, Keir Starmer's recent pledge to recognise the Palestinian state, shows everything that's wrong with his terrible leadership. He's the kind of insufferable centrist-at-all-costs that both sides hate equally. His kicking the ball down the road approach means he gets none of the kudos and all of the blame, plus his confused loading of criteria that must be met, gives Netanyahu endless get out clauses. Totally on brand for Starmer.

Chris Minns is the Keir Starmer of Australia

NSW state leader and Labor party leader, Chris Minns, suffered another self inflicted blow over the weekend. He managed to make himself enemy number one, over the hugely successful Sydney Harbor Bridge march for Palestinian human rights. He's embodying that nadir of the UK's Labour party, Keir Starmer. Always trying to appease people on the right, who will never vote for him, against the wishes of his own constituents and showing terrible judgement. Did anyone tell him the populist right wing media are irrelevant now? Why is he kissing their backside? He is on borrowed time.

The Death of Australian TV

Over the next few years, it's likely the Australian commercial free-to-air television networks will fall, leaving us at the mercy of the global streaming giants. It's why public broadcasting - which Australia does brilliantly - has never been more essential.

Jeremy Corbyn & Zarah Sultana Vs Keir Starmer: Unfinished Business

Two years ago on this page (see below), I begged true UK Labour leader in exile, Jeremy Corbyn, to start a new political party, as the Keir Starmer/Tony Blair soft Tory version of Labour was poisoned beyond hope. He's only gone and done it.

Trump and the Great MAGA Schism

Whilst the whole world is focusing on >he who must not be named< and >the list< there's actually far more going on with MAGA's all-time record displeasure with Donald. Including Trump breaking a number of OTHER cardinal MAGA sins.

Trump and the Biggest Attack on Freedom of Speech in American History

Trump and MAGA rode into town proclaiming to be free speech absolutists. What they really meant was they wanted to be mean about blacks, gays and trans people with impunity. Of course right-wing totalitarians are never pro free speech, but the universal attack on free speech is unprecedented. 

Israel Vs Palestine: Netanyahu Corruption and Trump's Cowardice

I think today we are actually up to real life concentration camps being proposed. A round up of the recent wholesome activity from Israel and why the Trump focusing on removing Netanyahu's corruption charges, could herald that America wont help with Iran and to give him a way out.

Do I Still Stand With J.K. Rowling?

Part of my infrequent series, "How to make lots of friends". A few years ago, when the whole J.K. Vs Trans thing kicked off, I posted a couple of "Why I stand With J.K....." pieces, based on my perception of feminism, as well as an analogous piece, "Are Biological Women Being Erased?". Since then the whole thing has descended into a tit-for-tat sh$t show. How I feel about the situation now.

Israel's War With Iran: Ten Inconvenient Truths

UNBELIEVABLE! I start this overview of Israel's illegal war with Iran (and the truths behind it) by saying, the people involved are so unstable, it will be out of date before I even get it online. They couldn't even wait 40 minutes. I was still on air and the president of peace, Donald Idiot Warmonger Trump bombed Iran. Welcome to World War 3/Iraq 2.0 plus. With new improved WMD's! Source, Netanyahu "Trust me bro".
