WATCH: Albanese’s Unlikely Challenger

AU ELECTION: Running against Anthony Albanese in the Australian prime minister’s Sydney district on Saturday is the unlikely figure of a two time Oscar-nominated film director who’s mad as hell and can’t take it anymore. David Bradbury is hardly new…

Mainstream media in Australia might finally be starting to wake-up and call-out Trump and his cronies.
Years ago, the Sun-Herald used to be Sydney's broadsheet newspaper, but it has long since lost its sense of balance and political teeth after being bought-out by a succession of increasingly right-wing media moguls. It's quite remarkable that they're printing a headline like this now.
The headline is a reference to a sledge aimed at cowardly, right-wing, yes-men for their support for the invasion of Iraq, "There they are a conga line of suckholes on the conservative side of politics." It was delivered by former ALP Leader of the Opposition and aspiring PM, Mark Latham (when he still sounded sane; long before he got RWNJ brainworms). I've always wondered about that particular line, and mused that his speechwriters were tapping into a vein of former Prime Minster, Paul Keating. He once said John Howard was "Like a shiver waiting for a spine to crawl up."
Amusingly, the subeditor misnamed Jeff Bezos as "Geoff Bezos" in the caption.

What's the #scam with the #LindaReynolds spectacle, sorry, lawsuit? How about #AUKUS 2.0 and #PaulKeating latest call, or the great new Terror Alert? #auspol #WestReport
Our stupid Australian political class have been told what to think by American interests who seek security FROM Asia rather than within Asia.

@nilsskirnir John Howard was the turning point where the lucky country lost its luck. If only we had another term of #PaulKeating . #WhatCouldHaveBeen

#PaulKeating envisaged a #superannuation system which funded the aged in retirement. It has turned into a giant #tax shelter where wealth is captured and passed on to descendants, and where falling home ownership was not factored in. #ausecon

I'm a big fan of #LauraTingle #NPC BL Smirking superiority, contrary to head lowered submission after giving praise for appearance to #PaulKeating APPEARS sarcastic & patronizing. The man deserves respect not the journos qus. Not a good look for a journo of her calibre.
@DrFriendless @latingle he is sparing no one. He’s brutal on many of the #MSM The “journo” from #SkyNews ‘ I mean, I know you are trying to ask a question, but the question is so dumb, it’s hardly worth an answer’ Ouch #NPC #paulkeating #AUKUS 🤕🤭
@AshGhebranious PJK “ So you can’t put a question without contexting it, mate! I mean contextualisation may not be your long suit, but that’s what you should be doing”
Back in your #SkyNewsLite box Mr. Probyn. Surely he would be happier and earn more if he just joined #NewsCorpse - zero credibility. #AUKUS #paulkeating #Auspol
March 13, 1992 – Australian climate advocates in Commission for the Future try to get government to see sense… on #Energyefficiency measures (Fail, obviously)
Report said that energy efficiency would at least allow a breakeven for Australia hitting the #TorontoTarget (Major nations stabilising emissions at 1988 levels by 2000, and reduce them by 20% by 2005.)
Labor's "Paul Keating had become prime minister in December 1991, and had made sure that all of the previous (Hawke) administration’s environment policies were buried in 17 committees and left to rot. And this was among them."

Well said! PJK refuting the nonsense of Sheridan and his ilk. https://johnmenadue.com/pj-keating-reply-to-greg-sheridan-the-australian-21-february-2023/

If #PaulKeating was a professor I would dodge every lecture except one: the Redfern Address.
He's a bit soft on Australian society, but he delves into the unlearning just enough to be credited with an honorable assessment.
Then I'd go back to dodging him because of the obvious personality clash. I'm not a fan of Auspol Wiggles.
> What exactly is the China threat? .. question is rarely raised [in USA but].. discussed in Australia.. former Prime Minister #PaulKeating, did..an essay in the #Australian press about the China threat. He finally concluded, realistically, that the #ChinaThreat is #China’s existence. The #USA will not tolerate the existence of a state that cannot be intimidated the way #Europe can be, that does not follow U.S. orders..but pursues its own course.
