“The #Nationals #leader, #DavidLittleproud, called it a “slip of the tongue” when Price, the shadow minister for #GovernmentEfficiency and Indigenous #Australians, told a campaign rally she wanted to “make #Australia great again” on Saturday. The #senator later claimed she hadn’t “even realised” she made the comments, then accused the media of being “obsessed” with the US president.

Guardian #Australia has obtained an image of the senator at an event with her family over the Christmas period wearing a Maga hat.

Guardian Australia has approached #Coalition campaign headquarters for comment.”

@eloquence #Australia has been running "immigration detention centres" in the desert for a couple of decades now, to widespread acclaim from the voters. Woomera and Baxter are two of the more notorious ones (I've protested outside both).

They're not death camps, and arguably they're nicer than the offshore ones in PNG and Nauru that we also run. Those have lethal "riots" involving both the guards and outsiders

The best you can say is that this is not a vote-changing issue for most voters here.

The Australian Centre for International Justice (ACIJ) is calling on the Australian government to act after a 20-year-old Australian-Palestinian dental student was shot through her apartment window in Abu Dis, in the occupied West Bank, on November 15, 2024.

ACIJ said Raneem Abu-Izneid was left with shrapnel injuries to her scalp, face, neck and chest and later had her right eye surgically removed.

Once you could hear the sound of koalas -
"all you hear is trucks now..."

Destruction of koala habitat through sprawl, roads and dogs

"Almost 2m hectares of forests suitable for koalas have been destroyed since 2011. They are one of more than 2,000 Australian species listed as under threat in what scientists are calling an extinction crisis." >>
