Australia vs China vs America - Scott Morrison's Economic Suicide
Tuesday Dec 08, 2020
Tuesday Dec 08, 2020
How Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has blundered his whole country's economy into a war with two fighting behemoths, without realising their economies are dependent on each other and where we have nothing to fight with at all and no possibility of success, where our best friend in the fight simply picks up the slack we lose and we are the only ones possibly hurt.

Scott Morrison is 100% to blame for the China crisis
Tuesday Dec 01, 2020
Tuesday Dec 01, 2020
Australian idiot bull in a china-shop prime minister, Scott Morrison, threw Australia under a bus six months ago, by wildly and stupidly attacking China to benefit Team Trump. Now his actions are coming home to roost, he's doubled down by falling for an obvious Chinese trap - the war crimes photo scandal. But then he was terrified of getting the blame for the first mistake and Mr walking photo-op, couldn't pass by a potential patriotic flag waver to distract everyone. But don't worry Scott, with our media, you are yet again unlikely to be blamed for something entirely your fault.

Australian Labor need to sack their leader Anthony Albanese
Tuesday Dec 01, 2020
Tuesday Dec 01, 2020
Every time Labor lose an election, they run terrified from the right wing version of events. That they lost for being left wing, that unions, socialism and identity politics killed them. This is garbage, hundreds of millions of dollars in corrupt vote buying and a Labor scare campaign by Clive Palmer did far more damage, yet here we are again. A Labor leader standing as quietly, politely and closely to the left of a right-wing prime minister as possible, almost invisibly. Anthony Albanese is a great guy but a travesty as a leader, ditch him now and find someone like Daniel Andrews, with fire in their belly who will stand up and fight the right without fear.

Australia has the worst news media in the Western World
Tuesday Dec 01, 2020
Tuesday Dec 01, 2020
Our uniquely compliant, backside kissing, endlessly validating media gives the Liberal governments at state and federal level the most easy ride imaginable. A year of never ending scandals and corruption has not dented their love in the slightest, and across the board from television to print media, our liberal governments are held accountable by precisely no-one in the media.

Corbyn v Blair - the cult of personality destroying the UK's Labour party
Tuesday Nov 24, 2020
Tuesday Nov 24, 2020
Supporters of Jeremy Corbyn are portrayed as irrational zealots, hell bent on destroying the Labour Party, yet the cult of personality really destroying Labour is that of Tony Blair, whose wildly misrepresented legacy as Labour's savior is completely untrue and whose acolytes are in delusion and denial.

Kyle Rittenhouse and Bobby Shmurda - race and the law in America
Tuesday Nov 24, 2020
Tuesday Nov 24, 2020
Recently Kyle Rittenhouse, charged with murdering two people and shooting a third with an illegally owned assault rifle is now out on a $2 million bail, raised by the public, half of whom regard him as a hero and he may well not spend one more day in prison. The rapper Bobby Shmurda will finish all seven years of his sentence for illegally owning a gun, yet not being the direct perpetrator of any other crime and was treated by the legal system in America at the age of 20 as a mafia boss. One is white, one is black.

Don't offer an olive branch to the right they are the enemy
Tuesday Nov 17, 2020
Tuesday Nov 17, 2020
With a bitterly fractured world, divided along the political right and left, recent wins against populism have come with some imploring us to reach out to the right and heal. I say no, these are not good people, they want to fight and are the enemy.

Pete Evans isn't a Nazi
Tuesday Nov 17, 2020
Tuesday Nov 17, 2020
Another winner in 2020 bingo. Why I don't think the celebrity chef and now Qanon-lite grifter is an ACTUAL white supremacist, in light of his recent and utterly bizarre posting of an anti-Trump meme with Nazi connotations and subsequent cross-media cancellation, he may just be incredibly stupid.

Christian Porter and the Family Court
Tuesday Nov 17, 2020
Tuesday Nov 17, 2020
Australian Attorney General, Christian Porter, was outed on a recent 4Corners TV expose on Liberal party misogyny and bad behavior towards women. Ring wing news media of course came in to bat for him as claiming rumors of his boozing and affairs weren't in the public. With this top legal entity in the country currently involved in a Men's Rights attack on the Family Court that's perceived to be too friendly to woman - I say his accused lifetime of misogyny is very much in the public interest.

Why Trump is losing the senate and the madness of King Donald
Tuesday Nov 10, 2020
Tuesday Nov 10, 2020
His election defeat was beautiful but now we enter a dangerous phase we only joked about and that now seems real. Donald really is trying to take over American democracy in a coup and why this is going to lose the republicans their last crown jewel - the senate.
