  1. #AngusTaylor will not be drawn on whether a #review into the #LiberalParty's #electioncampaign should be made public.

    The report was undertaken by former minister #PruGoward & former federal finance minister #NickMinchin, following the #disastrous 2025 #election result.

    #SussanLey (when she was leader) had committed to releasing the details.

    Taylor was today asked if he would do the same. Speaking on Channel Nine he dodged the question on 2 occasions. #auspol #FantasticGreatMoveWellDoneAngus

  2. The release of the #LiberalParty's #review into its #disastrous 2025 #election campaign has been delayed because former opposition leader #PeterDutton claims elements of the report are defamatory to him and his staff.

  4. So with my recent #disastrous experience with #Uber #Eats, it looks like I have to file a #chargeback with my credit card company to get my refund. If you missed the previous episode of Support Disasters: purchase through website, but refunds only through the app, which I can't use, because I don't have a cell phone.

    I thought you used to be able to dispute a merchant charge on the phone, but I don't seem to have that option today. I have to submit a dispute by postal mail - or by fax 🤣 .

    I'm guessing the procedure for "submit a dispute by fax" goes like this:

    1. Time-travel back to 1994 when fax was relevant.
    2. Submit form by fax.

    Fun.

  5. 'For the first time in the program’s 60-year history. '

    That sentence is a good summary of how disastrous the government of Trump is.

    Imagine a program (SNAP) that has already been providing food for the poor for 60(!) years and that has NEVER missed a payment.

    Now, under Trump, the poor will go hungry more than before. And realize that among the recipients 70% have a job,

  6. #WallStreet #banks are getting ready to unload a big chunk of debt holdings in #X, #ElonMusk #socialmedia platform. They hope to get 90 to 95 cents on the dollar, people familiar with the matter said. The banks in 2022 lent around $13 billion to help finance Musk’s $44 billion purchase of what was then called #Twitter —a deal currently considered #disastrous. Banks usually sell buyout debt within months of a deal, except during volatile periods. #billionaires #maga #propaganda #fascism

  7. "JD #Vance Blames Staff for #Disastrous Doughnut-Shop Visit"

    Couldn't be because this guy is a total #jackwagon, could it?

    NAH.

    Must be "The Staff"

    "Now someone just needs to explain to him that people typically don’t like it when leaders blame their mistakes on underlings. And it’s a particularly dumb move when those staffers are all that stand between you and another embarrassing viral video."

    Now there's some Real #Republican Leadership qualities, that one.

  8. "An absolute tsunami": #Legal #experts 3stunned at "#disastrous #legal day" for #Trump

    Two D.C. courts on Friday shot down former President Donald Trump's presidential immunity and first amendment claims related to January 6 and his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.
