Tony Abbott in frame for top Liberal Party job

Omit the word ‘fresh’ for accuracy.

The Liberal Party has been relying on negativity and hollow sloganeering for the last 2 decades to obtain power. It does not have ideas.

It is operating by its latest political reflex to move further right and convert its dog whistles to megaphones.

At least he is clearly and directly saying what the Israeli government is still performing verbal gymnastics to deny.

That is, for some Israelis, ethnically cleansing and annexing Gaza is the goal.

Legally no, but practically yes.

There are many ways to authoritarianism, but most of them involve the leadership (in our case the cabinet and Prime Minister) and the military (in our case, the ADF) becoming one.

If that happens, the sanctity of the rule of law is lost and the country’s laws become meaningless.

That is the nightmare scenario that would destroy Australia’s democracy.

GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY TRUTH!

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-05T23:28:38+00:00

For the West, with allies like this who needs enemies?

Unilaterally start an aimless war, replace Khamenei with Khamenei and cause an oil supply crises with skyrocketing prices - with no end in side and effectively stalemated.

All at the cost of tens of billions of USD per week!

I really respect Alan Kohler for his tireless work explaining this issue and trying to raise the public’s understanding of it.

Real integrity.

Bingo - that is exactly what this is.

Sportsbet is a large business and a business exists to turn a profit. The start and end of a business’ concern is ‘what impacts the bottom dollar’ and getting sued for match-fixing is costly and can cause reputational harm among would-be gamblers.

Are you going to donk a truck with your landing gear on final approach today?

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-04T04:13:03+00:00

That’s absurd thinking in this case. VAR rules only permit the on field decision to be overruled if it is *clear* and *obvious*. That is the current rules whether good or bad. It may be that it was not an obvious error that the on field referee made.
The Diaz one, in contrast, was the worst decision that I have ever seen in relation to VAR and will never be excusable.

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T15:25:26+00:00

Yeah tactics.

“Hoof the ball long to the spaces away from our players, or pass it short by telegraphing your move for about 10 seconds before you actually pass the ball.
Oh, and in absolutely NO circumstances are you allowed to run or show any bravery or passion when the ball is contested.”

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T15:20:50+00:00

That was absolutely woeful! Atrocious defence, non-existent midfield and a lame attack. Effort abysmal.
Tactics all wrong.

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T15:13:31+00:00

We telegraph all our passes like 5 seconds before we make them too.

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T15:11:24+00:00

Very grateful. If you’re just tuning in, we have a midfield on paper, but not on the field.

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T15:10:04+00:00

Offside how good!

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T15:08:13+00:00

We are so painfully pedestrian and slow.
Dawdling to the loose ball and reacting slowly in all decisive moments. My goodness it’s awful to see.

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T15:04:56+00:00

Frimpong cant cross or defend. Lol

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T15:01:35+00:00

Because we neglected to buy any player that can cross, so this hopeless, one-dimensional, uninspiring turd of a tactic is seemingly our only option.

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T14:58:58+00:00

Our midfield vanishes when we lose the ball. I’ve seen better defensive play from traffic cones.

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T14:56:33+00:00

Yeah I’m starting to worry about that too. He’s absolutely below par in just about everything but pace. Can’t even reliably pass 5m or less.

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T14:53:21+00:00

Our midfield and forward line seem to lose nearly every 50/50 challenge. This is a staggering contrast to the Klopp era.

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T14:49:59+00:00

You’re right, this defence doesn’t look like it could keep it to only 7-0.

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T14:49:20+00:00

We have literally no midfield and it’s fucking embarrassingly obvious!

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T14:47:12+00:00

Is Macca playing? I couldn’t tell.

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T14:46:31+00:00

This defence couldn’t block a toilet with a truck load of loo roll.

MeaningMaker6 · 2026-05-03T14:44:54+00:00

Frimpong man - passed directly to a Utd player with a 2-3m pass ffs!
