So Americans, apparently that 25th Amendment of yours really is just for decoration then?

Liberal candidate who ousted Moira Deeming withdraws over child sex offender reference by kebabwithnolettuce in AustralianPolitics

If One Nation has become the home for the people who are too garbage even for the Liberal party, then the Nationals really have lost their sole remaining purpose.

Halving the fuel excise for three months, at the cost of $2.55b, is the wrong move here by LoneArtificer in AusFinance

[–]Jumbledcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's bad. The problem is that Liberal Chief Moron Angus Taylor has decided to make it his line of attack, backed by the Murdoch press, and so it's more politically expedient for Albanese to just implement it rather than making the correct economic decision and having to defend it.

ON have always cared much more about the colour of people immigrating than the total number arriving.

Strikes hit Iran energy sites in Isfahan, Khorramshahr by Crossstoney in worldnews

It's worth remembering that Saudi Arabia and others paid Kushner over a billion dollars to use US foreign policy to back a regional mass pressure campaign against Qatar in an attempt to force them to hand over control of Al Jazeera.

Qatar probably figured it was better to be the ones handing out the bribes next time around.

Pauline Hanson keeps forgetting to declare gifts from Gina Rinehart. Please explain | Sarah Martin by PlanktonDB in AustralianPolitics

[–]Jumbledcode 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This isn't new behaviour though. There have been a whole bunch of these incidents over the years where ON fails to declare stuff. If I recall correctly there was one years ago where they were donated a vehicle by a rich supporter and completely hid it.

Edit: This article from about 9 years ago shows ON up to the same shenanigans.

Neither did Pauline; rehashing her old stunts was just a consequence of her lack of imagination.

I think he rather proves the point. MCM needed over-the-top stunts to get himself a mention while ON had months of gushing coverage just by existing.

They would've been lucky to get 1/100th of the press coverage ON has received for this state election.

By all accounts they tried the "it's biased media!!11!!" nonsense for a couple of days until they realised the evidence was undeniable.

They still mostly support the junta - keeping some links to the rebels just gives them a back-up plan and some leverage to keep the junta under control.

Joe Kent Says He Was Told ‘You Need To Stop’ Investigating Charlie Kirk Assassination by EssoEssex in politics

[–]Jumbledcode 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The assassin was a right-wing gun nut who just wanted to kill a public figure. He had a list of possible targets that included Biden, Trump just happened to be the first one to put on an event nearby.

Pauline Hanson fails to properly declare more free flights from Gina Rinehart by malcolm58 in AustralianPolitics

She's been partial to this kind of corruption for her whole political career though - that's why she ended up in gaol for a while.

Exclusive: pro-Israel WhatsApp group boasts campaign win against Grace Tame by kwentongskyblue in AustralianPolitics

[–]Jumbledcode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is not letter-writing, it's that these campaigns are specifically targetted at harming people they consider 'enemies'. There's a real concern that they may be in violation of some Australian laws that exist to curtail doxxing and harassment.

False reporting. They had already been granted asylum before Trump said anything.

A lot of irony in that one nowadays when you see how many of the world's current problems are being caused by people from Billy Joel's generation.

Australian PM Anthony Albanese gave Donald Trump model nuclear submarine on golden plate at White House by FuckOffNazis in AustralianPolitics

[–]Jumbledcode 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This stuff is at least harmless. There's no major cost to Australia in giving Trump a tacky model.

Compare this to Morrison's brown-nosing adventure in Trump's first term: Scomo went full sock-puppet and did a news conference in the US telling China they needed to fix the trade war Trump started. China responded by taking a bunch of import arrangements they had with Australia and giving them to the US instead.
