The evidence is in. Britain is in terminal decline. As many people warned, Brexit - a ludicrous strategy based on a campaign of deliberate deceit by cultural warriors - is exposed as a catastrophic mistake. A former Australian diplomat offers his view. johnmenadue.com/what-ails-brit

The best outcome from the NSW state election would be a minority Labor government dependent on the votes of Greens and anti-pokies independents.

@dsfgs @seasiders2 It's obvious that that's what needs to happen now. The unions needed to organise when #TurnbullMalcolm and #MrKRudd got together to organise against #RupertMurdoch. It could have been the beginning of the end for Murdoch in Australia. As it's turned out we see #Albo offering #Rudd his rightful place in the seat of power and privilege hoping this will shut him up on #Murdoch. We are at this point unclear on how it will progress. If anyone has any influence in the #ACTU we should find a way of re-igniting the traditions of the Wapping dispute in Australia. #itstime

@dsfgs @seasiders2 A good response. Seasiders. For me DSFGS, I've actually witnessed it all before. I was living in London when #RupertMurdoch came into town under #MargaretThatcher & they used that as a tool to smash up the trade union movement using Murdoch's paper as a trojan horse. People like me went in our thousands to try to protect the rights of unionists to organise and of the union to protect basic rights & pay. I even got beaten up by a well-organised police violence manoeuvre. theguardian.com/media/2011/jul

@seasiders2
A good start would involve quietly burning the #MurdochRags in a bucket out back before ppl get a squiz at the #memes they put out.

Or at least use them as carbon for the local #compost bin.

Did you know #RupertMurdoch is featured in the encrypted 80GB file that #JulianAssange put out on the web. If Assange is ever killed and unable to publish we can expect the widely torrented file to be unencrypted, and Murdoch's past exposed.

@steveirons here is a response from The Saturday Paper,

Out of touch
I wept while reading Marcia Langton’s “Fighting for a Voice” (January 7-13). Her essay is written with great profundity and yet, in one sentence, is the message of clarity: “It is the duty of Australians who want to build a nation that recognises 65,000 years of human history … to vote ‘Yes’.” How are there still people reading the Murdoch press and watching Sky News as it spews its diatribe of lies? The Voice to Parliament must be embraced for its imperative to bind us together as one nation. Australians must reject the lies and obfuscations of those determined to keep us apart, determined to see this referendum fail, for they are completely out of touch with the realities and hopes of our nation.

– Ian Ossher, Dover Heights, NSW

The tears of 65,000 years are nowhere as noisy as the opposition’s flood of misinformation.

There is a complete dutton mug holding on to an umbrella as the rain, coming down in a huge downpour of highlighted descriptors on the voice, takes over the page: DONT TREAT US LIKE MUGS... SHOW US SOME DETAIL! he yells.
The other key players who are copping his abuse, Albanese, et al, are all holding out their hands to witness the strength of the downpour.

"BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING", THE KING SAID, VERY GRAVELY,
"AND GO ON TILL YOU COME TO THE END
THEN STOP."
Words come at us from King Charles III sitting in his crown on his throne on a foundation of white bricks out in his garden, the throne enhanced withred hearts across the top, the King holding on to his gold Orb with a red heart on top. At the base of his platform we see Prince Harry dressed in a knight's vest with a Spade attached standing with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, presenting his SPARE as a long scroll. In the tree at the back of the garden sits the leering press cat with UK PRESS cap, camera, and holding a sign I'M MAD, YOU'RE MAD, WE'RE ALL MAD

We find ourselves outside the U.S. door leading to the inner circle the golden doorframe of which contains the golden image of the eagle with 4 red stripes across its belly leading to an inner wall containing the POTUS seal. On our left we see a fat naked president Trump wearing a royal crown; we see his tatoo across his belly "Me, the Peopl..." strutting out away from the door to the left with his golden golf putter in his hand his body entwined with a continuous tape of CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED CLASSI... ...ASSIFIED ASS LASSI ... Our eye goes to the end of the tape and we see it sticking to the sole of President Biden's right shoe.
TRUMP: OOH!! THE HYPOCRISY ... ANOTHER WORD I INVENTED, BTW..."
BIDEN: C'MON MAN!

We are taken to a footpath in the suburbs beside a big wall Dom Perrottet is walking towards the corner with Matthew Kean who is looking at his smartphone past two newspaper billboards on the street against the wall:
[NEWS: ELLIOTT'S CONFLICT OVER POKIES REFORM]
[NEWS: ICAC DELAYS GLADYS' FINDINGS]
Dom says: "At least that should clear the air between now and the election..."
They can't see the coming black arm wearing a swastika or the face blowing the party blowout carrying four coloured baloons 
SURPRISE
HAPPY
21ST
DOM!
