Will Labor or the Coalition have the guts to reverse ‘the worst public policy decision’ of the century? Don’t be daft
By Tom McIlroyThe Productivity Commission has picked apart Scott Morrison’s 2018 GST deal that gives Western Australia an outsized share of revenue. But there is no prospect of government action

A growling Gina Rinehart gifts Pauline Hanson a 'beautiful' orange bulldozer
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-18/gina-rinehart-gifts-pauline-hanson-orange-bulldozer/106803906WTF?!
"A helper handed Hanson a large toy-sized bulldozer. Then she asked the crowd to growl with her, simulating the machinery engine."
…
"The embracing of the bulldozer moniker is a long way from when Scott Morrison's self-described bulldozer tactics turned off voters in 2022. But times have changed."No, times have not changed!

Angus Taylor resigns from Liberal frontbench ahead of expected leadership spill
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-11/federal-politics-estimates-albanese-ley-herzog/106328310Ot appears Angus Taylor's handlers have convinced him that he has the numbers to shiv Susssan Ley.
My opinion is that Angus Taylor doesn't have a strong enough grasp of mathematics to do the sums for himself — because if he did, he'd be more cautious.
One wonders if Angus Taylor has been taking advice from the same innumerate people who set-up Peter Dutton for his failed spill against Malcolm Turnbull in August 2018 that handed the party leadership and position of Prime Minister to Scott Morrison.

Australia is a fossil fuelled colony. People talk about democracy. What democracy, when our politicians are literally dressed as fossil fuelled employees?

Tony Abbott intervenes in Liberal leadership battle calling on right to unite to oust Sussan Ley
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-28/tony-abbott-calls-on-conservatives-to-unite-and-oust-sussan-ley-/106278112It hurts me to say this, but: Susssan Ley is right. She's recognised that if the Liberal Party is to survive, to present itself as a credible Opposition, and have more than just a dream of winning an election in the next decade, it needs to be overhauled.
Susssan Ley has a mountain of work ahead of her if she's trying to reform and modernise the Liberal Party. This comes after years that cannot be swept under the carpet, and memories that stretch back so far in people's minds that we have a clear picture of what is "normal" for the Liberal Party. Some people like Tony Abbott want that "tradition" that he was part of and benefited from to persist, and for the rest of us to forget the aspects that were terrible for most people in Australia.
But, who can forget the lies and racism and RWNJ extremism resembling Nazism of the Malignant Potato Peter Dutton, the lies and racism and self-serving religious quackery of the Liar from the Shire Scott Morrison, the lies and racism and outrageous sexism and anti-intellectualism and cruelty disguised as boofheadedness of The Mad Monk Tony Abbott, the lies and racism and nonsensical neo-con ideology of Malcolm Turnbull, and the lies and racism and mean-spirited divide-and-conquer class-warfare of John Howard?

"... take some responsibility for extreme ... " - Scott Morrison, Wednesday 21st January 2026
Some 2000 Australians are dead after Liberal governments targeted them and 500,000 other Australians with illegal debt notices.
That's one hundred times as many people as killed at Bondi Beach.
Scottie - some responsibility?

As a follow-up to the #murder of #AlexPretti wouldn’t it be about time that we Australians broke off the AUKUS deal and wound back what ties we have to the #dysfunctional #crazy #racist #UnitedStates?
If we really need human crewed #NuclearSubmarines, and I suspect we don’t, it would be a good move to try and get back on side with the French who could build our subs for us.
Of course we would need to build a #nuclear #reactor to produce the fuel needed, or failing that we should arrange for the #French or even the #British to refuel our subs for us when the fuel rods need replacing.
Or maybe we should concentrate on #unmanned nuclear power #drone submarines capable of working at ridiculous depths and loitering on the bottom for years, ready to kill any threatening ship or submarine when needed.
The technology is available; perhaps we could lead the world in producing our own version of such a monstrous machine. Again, we could rely on our friendly allies to refuel them for us for a price.
#ScottMorrison was a lying idiot.

On 26th Oct 2021, Australian PM Scott "don't-be-scared-of-coal" Morrison announced the Coalition's #NetZero2050 #ClimateTarget.
That same day, I read the document containing Morrison's 'plan'. It contained nothing to get Australia anywhere near the (already compromised idea of) #NetZero.
There was no plan, no modelling, no change in actual policies. The #ScottMorrison 'commitment' to net zero was still completely consistent with decades of #Coalhugger #Coalition policies. The target was toothless, an exercise in getting a headline to quiet the conscience of the news-skimming voter whose grandkids keep telling them climate is bad but who really wants to vote for hurting marginalised people and/or retaining their current tax loopholes (and who hasn't realised how much the #ALP embraces both anyway).
So with this week's news that #SussanLey has dropped that pretence, at least now there is one iota less dishonesty in Australian politics (albeit one with its own new lies and contradictions).
The last time the Coalition's #ClimatePolicy slightly departed from utter loyalty to the #DirtyEnergy industry was the morning of the 1st Dec 2009 in the hours before #MalcolmTurnbull was deposed as leader of her Majesty's Opposition and replaced by #TonyAbbott by a single vote.

CW: invective
The corruption and viciousness in #Australia's government continues to seep out.
What poison to community and health successive #Labor and #LNP governments and the #AustralianPublicService have been.
When did the #TargetedComplianceFramework kick in?
#JohnHoward?
#KevinRudd?
#JuliaGillard?
#TobyAbbott?
#MalcomTurnbul?
#ScottMorrison?
#AnthonyAlbanese?Who has let it continue?
Filthy grubs.
So expert at punching down. -

What the hell is #AlbanesePM doing appointing a #FarRight funder as an Envoy?
Memories of #ScottMorrison having a weirdo #QAnon as close friend and weirdo's wife on staff (?).
Is it that difficult to find a person who values democracy enough to not fund a far right group?

Two questions for those with some knowledge of Australian law:
Is it a crime under Australian law (whether federal or state) to incite the commission of #WarCrimes and/or #CrimesAgainstHumanity?
Would enthusiastic public advocacy for the Commonwealth government to (openly)* join the wildly illegal #WarOfAggression launched by #Israel + #US forces against #Iran (including celebrating the deliberate targeting of civilians)** be prima facie evidence of such a crime?
Since Australia has still not arrested #JohnHoward for his crimes in helping to launch an earlier disastrous war of aggression 22 years ago, I'm not holding my breath here, but I would like to know whether/which laws are being ignored when (for instance) a high-profile weapons lobbyist urges the federal government to commit illegal acts by joining this latest war of aggression (completely unauthorised by the UN Security Council).
*See: #PineGap.
**The 10+ scientists assassinated (often along with their families and neighbours) by Israel's initial strikes were civilians. Israel has openly admitted, even boasted, that these individuals (non-combatants under #InternationalLaw) were specifically targeted with overwhelmingly lethal force. -
