Both parties have now declared support for Trump’s strikes in Iran. Never mind that Australians “have overwhelmingly lost trust in the US to act responsibly in the world” (Lowy Institute’s 2025 poll). Will Australia ever extract itself from America’s arse? Labor #auspol


“The federal Coalition backed the attacks …” (Guardian). Never mind that Australians “have overwhelmingly lost trust in the United States to act responsibly in the world” (Lowy Institute’s 2025 poll). Will the coalition ever extract itself from America’s posterior? #auspol


I sure hope Clint gets a pre-nup! #MAFSAU #MAFSAustralia #MAFS


New MAFS spin-off suggestion – The Jacqui and Ryan show. See Jacqui and Ryan transform bogans into their best selves by providing expert guidance in matters financial, sartorial and cultural. #MAFSAU #MAFS #MAFSAustralia


I sure hope Ryan’s good in the sack or we’ll never hear the end of it. #MAFSAU


Jacqui and Ryan could solve the ‘telly in the boudoir’ issue by tuning it in to a Bitcoin Live Chart. Or they could do the dance with no pants to Bloomberg. Could there be a hotter way to consummate their relationship? Next issue? #MAFSAU


To my mind Labor is down in the polls because it's not Labor enough. Well @AlboMP, here's an opportunity to prove me wrong!

The very idea that we could have our own, Australian views on this topic: perish the thought! Washington spends more time acting as a protection racket for Israel than it does on its own, terrible internal problems

Why replace Lisa Millar? Does Michael Rowland need someone to hold his hand? Why not replace them both with one newsreader, preferably one with gravitas? SBS has more than its fair share. If the #ABC wants to compete with the commercial stations, just get a Cash Cow.


Michael Rowland made an affable assistant to Virginia Trioli back in the day but he never rose above that ‘sidekick’ schtick!

To my knowledge Michael Rowland was a decent host until the ABC became a Murdoch cesspit.



Programs such as @BreakfastNews and @InsidersABC used to be unmissable. Now they're unwatchable.

Dear Minister @MRowlandMP, ABC Chair Ita Buttrose and ABC News Director Justin Stevens are doing enormous damage to the reputation of our national broadcaster. The ABC is meant to be fair & balanced & impartial. This is no longer the case. #auspol #SaveOurABC #JournalismMatters



No need for a political editor? It’s official then; the ABC is fucked. Still won’t watch mainstream commercial but Sky News (as opposed to the evening knuckle-draggers) doesn’t seem so bad.


Is it acceptable to dislike Sam Smith simply because his music is shite and he looks fucking ridiculous?


The women on #MAFSAU this year seem nice but some of the males, not so much. And yet I’m guessing Claire and Bronte will press on. Are they really staying to find love among the ruins or do they just want their 15 minutes of fame? If the latter, what does that say about them?


Can he not just appoint himself? Elon need not know.


As someone tweeted a week or two ago, a dog gets more factual information from sniffing another dog’s arse than a human does from reading the Herald Sun.


Criticism of the “baseball bats” comment is a bit over the top but Michael Rowland’s harping, gotcha style questions show that he’s not up to serious political interviews. He made a half decent sidekick to Virginia Trioli but that’s about it.


Michael Rowland’s harping gotcha style of questioning is just as bad as Lisa Millar’s blatantly biased questioning. News Breakfast used to be better than this.


The HERALD SUN has some utility. It can easily be cut up and used to wipe one’s arse after a particularly nasty dump! #auspol #ThisIsNotJournalism #MurdochGutterMedia


I’d like to see the modelling #Perrottet relied on when he decided to #LetItRIP. I think the public is entitled to know how many dead he was willing to accept.
