It'd probably be a good idea if UK politicians and departments dialled down the rhetoric, and 'trimmed their cloth' the match the reality of where the country finds itself. Bordering on being a fin...

UK PM candidate Sunak: Russia's Putin should be barred from G20
yes, and that pretty much encapsulates the problem the LNP has had for at least the past 30 years - they are only interested in *themselves*.. Elections, by-elections and parliament are for *the peo...
Oh yawn.. this is getting very boring already.. but OK then let's continue wringing the last few drops of satire out of it.. First Dog on the Moon's [pretty much got the nub of it](https://www.thegu...
Scott Morrison â Minister for Everything and Nothing and There Was a Lot Going On | First Dog on the Moon
Yeah, that was bound to happen, somebody was going to start calling for heads to roll.. He's got quite the legacy now. Scotty from marketing was never the sharpest knife in the drawer, and he damage...

Why is Peter Dutton ignoring all the lessons that got Anthony Albanese into the Lodge? | Katharine Murphy

'I've become more and more depressed': Why older Australians like Brett are nervous for their retirement
I think I know now what bothers me so much about Bandt (aside from the fact that he's just annoying 😛) - he pretty much always talks in absolutes. Maybe he should look up the word 'transition', ...
Australiaâs Coal Shipments Face a âDeadline,â Greens Leader Says
Here we are again, a one dimensional statistic argument which purports to support "It means motorists are forced to buy cars that are worse for the environment and household budgets".. Umm might it ...
'Carpark for clunkers': Gov urged to act on $5.9 billion petrol opportunity
Didn't read it (it's probably paywalled anyway). This is nearly as silly as asking whether the ALP has solved all our problems in their first 100 days. Dutton's not in my pantheon of good guys, b...
The Peter Dutton schtick
I've never been a Corbyn fan. I respect his conviction, but as a political player he is either naive, or has a 'tin ear'. He was certainly never electable. I don't know all the ins and outs of his ...

This [documentary](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057233/) is worth sourcing and watching for a variety of reasons. It's an hours worth of contradictions and lessons in history, and that's before you ...
The Kremlin (TV Movie 1963) - IMDb

'Taking the hit': Morrison reveals reasons for Coalition's election loss
The US could always try this, you know, actual *overt* foreign diplomacy.. If they spent a fraction of what they spend on their intelligence agencies, covert operations, and covert interference, on...
'Stepping up our game': US appears at Pacific leaders' meeting with sweeping plans for the region
Indeed. There's a certain idiocy in simply repeating old narratives and tropes. Sure they might have served politicians and nationalists well for a couple of hundred years, but what about the rest ...
Going its own way in a messy world, New Zealand offers an alternate parable on China | Katharine Murphy
We can only hope that this completes the era of bombast and narcissism.. Maybe Boris and Trump can go and have a drink together to console themselves down at the "delusions cafe".. I think the pair ...
Resignation speech: 'No-one is indispensable' - Boris Johnson's statement in full
There are so many things wrong with this article I hardly know where to begin.. I'll keep it short. The article, overall, is naive. The people depicted in its story are naive. It's naive to suggest ...

Boris Johnson urges world leaders to hold firm on Ukraine

Crossbenchers hit back at government over staff cuts that are 'bad for democracy'
Well I suppose that's OK on the face of it.. But realistically IMO it's little more than posturing, as the deeply corrupt Ukraine could stay in 'candidate status' for decades if the EU so chooses. ...
