thought he lived with a lefty girlfriend who was nearly old enough to be his mother - but seems they have split up so you may be right that he moved back to the basement

Instead of giving Ukraine weapons which worldwide has been billions why don't they just offer that money to Russia to leave? I mean aren't they there for the resources. Lots of minerals amn stuff there.
Here's 100 billion to leave.

Some of his policies are great. None of you lefty merkins will admit it though.

I think you should be more concerned with China. But we needn’t worry because the US is our brother.

Well not least due to China’s leader describing Albo as a smart person, him and Wong have got them covered.i

The US were Ukraine's brother as well....

Onya Albo, this is leadership.

Anyone who wonders about Labor’s response to Trump should take note. Albanese has asserted an independent stance that supports European allies and other liberal democracies. Dutton, meanwhile, rules out the option.

The Trump test: PM chose a side, Dutton picked the fence

Anthony Albanese says Australia must consider supporting Europe by sending peacekeepers to Ukraine. Peter Dutton’s been too hasty in retreat on that prospect.

And this sums up the ungratefulness of Trump's USA.

This is becoming a way to measure how politicians and commentators respond to Trump. Some want to make excuses for the president by finding fault with others. A common refrain is that European leaders can only blame themselves because they did not spend enough on defence.

But there are no excuses for Trump deserting European allies. It is less than 25 years since NATO members including Britain, France and Germany joined US forces in Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks on New York City and Washington, DC. Now US Vice President J.D. Vance talks about allies like these as “random” countries trying to help Ukraine – a puerile remark.

Did you really believe that they were funding research into transgender mice ? Well they were, kinda. If you squint your eyes and imagine really bad things ...

Pick two.

I want you to. See if you can do it. See if the hate can get you past saying something positive.

Giant batteries are coming to Australia, bringing 24/7 renewables a ‘step closer’

A major green energy investor will bring some of the world’s most powerful batteries, which could run for twice as long as today’s biggest systems, to Australia.

www.smh.com.au

The new battery systems, said to be the first in the world designed to discharge for eight hours, marked a step up from most of the batteries on the market today, which typically discharged at full output for a maximum of four hours, Quinbrook said.

Installing a fleet of the giant batteries across Australia could prove “game-changing”, the investment firm said, due to their potential to cut the cost and boost the availability of zero-emissions energy to help decarbonise heavy industry and power emerging green manufacturing processes of the future.
