Watching #youtube clips of #TheLateShow #StephenColbert
I made a point of not watching any this week so I could have a decent block of videos to watch.
#TrumpRegime has silenced a voice of sanity in the toxic wasteland that was once a #democracy - for now.
I’m sure he’ll be back. It would be nice to think he’d head down to the #SouthernHemisphere.
Lots of material for him here in #auspol

#Farmers who lost thousands of animals in widespread #flooding this wet season have been #denied #federalfunding to help rebuild their herd.
About 90,000 head of livestock were killed in several disasters in Queensland between December 2025 and April 2026.
But #Albo has rejected a state government proposal for a $94 million jointly funded restocking package, saying #Qld should fund it itself. #auspol
He’s doing #OneNation a favour by driving voters away from #Labor.

Not a fan of Albo, nor am I trying to pick a stoush.
But what you are saying is, he is uniquely qualified to be a POLITICAL leader with lifetime of experience.
As someone who dipped a toe into politics, what most folks think politics is and what it actually is, are two different things. Vast majority of folk who think "I would be a better leader" would be eaten alive by pyraniahs
#Albo is a figure head of a political moloch.
He doesn't have to be smart, just be a good cog.
Fucking #Albo
#Australian #military plane to #join efforts to reopen #StraitOfHormuz as Marles considers ‘how else we can contribute’.
Defence minister says E-7A Wedgetail surveillance aircraft deployed to Gulf in March will join UK and France-led defensive effort to calm Iran conflict.

Budget follows a familiar pattern. Change is obviously necessary, Albanese campaigns on a promise not do it, wins and digs in even further, finally dragged back to reality. See Stage 3 tax cuts. Royal Commission on anti-semitism fits the pattern, without an election.. #auspol
Sometimes he holds on long enough, and the pressure goes away as putting unemployment benefits above poverty line. But broadly speaking, if it’s something a Labor government would do #Albo is against it.
Despite all the leaks, I'm still low-key suprised that #Albo had the guts to grab the bull by the horns when it comes to #NegativeGearing and #CGT - We desperately needed an end to the millionaire's bordello that is the tax regime for investment properties. Shelter is a basic need and fundamental right, not an accounting trick.
HEYHEYHEY It's FAAAT #Albo
And I ain't gonna do anything.
Mansion on the cliffs like I'm a King.
I'll have some fun now, livin' at your expense.
Countin' all my dollars,
While you're all scraping cents.
Naah Naah Naah Gonna do nothin'*
