Absence of bold decisive leadership, structural reform, and a raft of transformational democratic socialist initiatives by @albomp.bsky.social has opened the door to a resurgent One Nation party.
His pathetic inept response to address Great Australian Gas Heist is emblematic of his meekness

Pete Hegseth is banishing photographers from the Pentagon over “unflattering” photos of him?

Would be a shame if this picture kept circulating.

I bet this was because Lil Marco was too embarrassed to tell Donald his *real* shoe size, lest Trump rephrase Rubio’s “You know what they say: small hands, small dick” debate quip and throw it back at him.

Amid the wars and rumours of war, here I sit in All Saints' church in Canowindra listening to a concert by Chamber Philarmonia Cologne featuring works by Vivaldi,Frescobaldi, Mendelssohn and Saraste. Sublime.

Those interested in the Farrer byelection might find something in this. There are few seats where federal policy has such clear day to day impact …

Excellent piece by Tom McIlroy. 10/10.

It's rare that Australian journalists understand Queensland politics so & how it influences Canberra.

Not partisan, have a look at what former Qld Premier Rob Borbidge has had to say about ONP. #qldpol www.theguardian.com/australia-news/commentisfree/2026/jan/31/one-nation-pauline-hanson-polls-election-result-history

The devastation of Gaza has drawn global focus, but it has also enabled an intensified campaign of violence and displacement in the West Bank to proceed with far less scrutiny, Ramzy Baroud writes.
