I think today's a good day to remind all that our corrupt government is STILL paying the U.S. regime $800,000,000 of OUR taxpayer monies every few weeks for the failed outdated and non-existant subs.

@Jinjirrie
Anthony Albanese has Australians being kidnapped from international waters, unlawfully taken by Israel to Israel, injured, abused and detained in custody while letting the Israeli ambassador remain in Australia.

This looks like Anthony approving of the Gaza genocide.

Fuck he has a low opinion of Australian voters.

“People obviously are over the ads and just want day out of the way and get on with their lives. I get all of that. But you know, we live in the greatest in the world. It’s worth for and and and that’s what the is about”

“I think is the first essential ingredient, I’m sure of that, responsible drinking as well, but NOT WATCHING THE ABC would be a good start.
For the young ones, at home, FORGET THE ABC. And if you do that, you can probably start with a good night.” —

It has been less than three years since Australians voted out the (ex PM & Minister for Health, Finance, Treasury, Immigration and Holidays) government. My and I know there is more work to do. That is what us.” —

Half the battle is attendance. ⚔️

Not a bad summary, nothing on environment, trade or defence… but there is to back this up. No mention of working with Independents, Greens to achieve these aims.
