    What she said. Whilst our reelected government isn't perfect it's a damn sight better than the clowns who opposed them and lost. Best result we could have had.
    And as a side note, whilst we claim to have a compulsory voting system all you really need to do is get your name ticked off, accept the ballot paper and put it into the ballot box. We have no laws that require you to actually mark the ballot paper. So reality is it's an au$20 fine for not voting, hardly an imposition. We also typically have less than 1% of invalid votes so it seems to be accepted.
    I can understand apathy or indifference to voting but non-participation just reduces the number of votes the 'winners' need get. At the least just vote backwards with the biggest wanker getting the least preference.

    Trump announced 100% tariffs on all movies made outside the US. The 2026 Oscar for Best Foreign Film is going to go to "fuck if I know, I'm not paying $40 to watch a Bollywood flick."

    ...also he wants to reopen Alcatraz, despite it closing six decades ago and it currently being a tourist attraction.

    Carney just had a sit down with Trump... and it was masterful.

    We have the right PM leading us right now.

    I don't know what your fuckin' problem is up there. Trump just said he only wants friendship. What's the issue?

    I love Carney explaining to Trump how some things are for sale and others aren't in the same manner I taught my 5 year old that we can't always have ice-cream for dinner

    You have to speak to that fat idiot in the same way you train a dog to stay off the furniture. Anything above that and it’s terrorism.

    My favourite part was when Carney said "we'll never be for sale". Trump said, "never say never", and then Carney mouthed "never" to the journalists.

    Has anyone heard about this Shiloh Hendrix video thing? Woman posts video of her calling a five-year-old black kid the n-word, gets rightfully flamed, then starts a gofundme and it’s up to $600k and rising.

    I don’t know. Firstly, she said it. Secondly, that woman’s name screams “money grab hoax,” but thirdly…she said it, and the donations are from racist assholes. So…yeah.
