A #dropkick tweet. The guy tweeted that he Pauline Hanson should be "Dame Pauline Hanson". That makes him anything but left. As for quoting Drew Pavlou, that's like qouting Satan to provide character ref. Then there is you calling everyone theives & murders to incite hate #auspol

Full costs of Segal's overseas travel since she was appointed.

Rarely ever say this but 100% agree with Andrew Pierce She dismisses 6 different women, unknown to each other and calls Brand a hero....

Reminder: it was on @2GB873 that Alan Jones urged people to go to Cronulla and bash people. It was on @2GB873 that Alan Jones called for Julia Gillard to be put in a chaff bag and thrown into the sea. You do NOT get to moralise over this.

My Mum shared a video in the family group chat of Rob Sitch tonight and his various impersonations. But had to share this one because every time my sister and I go to Melbourne with Mum we sing this song to her @mrtonymartin

France is undergoing what Habermas called a legitimation crisis and we should not be surprised that the denouement of neoliberalism in Europe is violent class conflict. The elections in April may well be a clear choice between fascism and socialism, but it is not clear that either side have coherent answers to current challenges which are also being faced in Italy, Albania, Spain, Portugal and Belgium. The bond markets will impose their discipline in the form of austerity measures and the ECB may have to save the Eurozone and, in doing so, the entire EU. Disparities of wealth and income will widen as French capitalists and foreign investors demand that share prices increase while workers are squeezed and social services get cut: the standard neoliberal playbook. This will only further fracture social cohesion in the country. As Marx reminded us in Das Kapital: Accumulation of wealth at one pole is, therefore, at the same time accumulation of misery at the opposite pole. The triggers of this crisis - dilapidated school classrooms and missing teachers, byzantine entry process into the Grandes Écoles, anger in the banlieues by North African former subjects of the French empire and their successors, anti-migration hatreds and Palestine - all play a role in generating unrest but they are ultimately the context for the deeper crisis of legitimation which now bedevils the French state. The media will focus on looters, violence, agent provocateurs, rioters, voyous, casseurs and the return of the Gilets Jaunes who challenged Macron's first term in 2018 and 2019. Apocalyptic scenes make for spectacular imagery. And as Marx insightfully commented 155 years ago: The bourgeoisie of the whole world, which looks complacently upon the wholesale massacre after the battle, is convulsed by horror at the desecration of brick and mortar!

True aye! @PPantsdown

America take note! It’s not left vs right. It’s the rich vs the poor.

One Nation's Pauline Hanson: “Australians can disagree but must never accept violence and threats." This would be the Pauline Hanson who recently travelled to the UK to meet up with violent far-right thug Tommy Robinson. #auspol #OneNation #HateSpeech #terrorism

Counter-terrorism expert Dr Joshua Roose says Helen Haines’ alleged attacker Brendan Nugent used to have concerns for the environment, but has since “descended” into a conspiracy theorist & into a “much darker place.” Colour me shocked.

As politicians recoil in shock at attack on Helen Haines, and call to dial down temperature of political debate - one reminds @AlboMP @AustralianLabor Govt that ALL media, not just social media, landed us here. Address it at its heart: Murdoch #auspol sbs.com.au/news/article/kevi…

And yet

This is so horrible, very disgraceful Pauline Hanson, just freaking awful #auspol

What does Pezzullo think?

Who says the rancid media in Queensland formented political hatred? Imagine the uproar if Jess Wilson or Angus Taylor were targeted like this?

When he wakes with a “boner” 🦴

David Speers & Patricia Karvelas are quick to call out Social Media as a source of extremism but you'll never hear them single out the biggest source, the right-wing media. The media has normalised #HateSpeech: - 3AW/2GB - Sky News - Herald Sun - Seven/Nine #auspol #HelenHaines

Ouch.

They look quite white and native to France Why is the mainstream media trying to portray them as Muslim immigrants?!
