The Right's version of cancel culture. :rolleyes: I hate both of them. (Sorry, hate is a bad word, replace with "extremely dislike").

No I don't think it's ok. But weren't Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull going after Murdoch's licenses in Australia? Media in both the US and Australia are too concentrated in the hands of a few and need to be broken up.

I would just like to see a national plan for a transformed grid. How much wind, solar, battery , hydro, coal, gas, where will it go , how much will it cost ? No one in politics has got a clue and that's why we can trust anyone. Put the engineers in charge, not the climate zealots. How many...

Well, he just got someone sacked the the ABC (US version) for making comments he didn't like. https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/jimmy-kimmel-is-the-latest-to-be-put-on-pause-how-trump-is-influencing-the-world-of-late-night-tv/ar-AA1MN3BJ?ocid=BingNewsSerp

He may be right in that, I think Trump has all the U.S. media either in his pocket or scared shiteless of him. But that's their problem not ours.

Questions may well need to be asked about Trump and his business activities, it's just that it should be the US media asking them not ours. Where is the Watergate spirit? :smuggrin: Too bad Robert Redford just snuffed it, he may have done something. ;)

Well it comes down to the fact that like him or not, Trump is what he is, and if a taxpayer funded journo is hurting Australia's interests, then the said journo and his organisation should be told to pull their heads in.

Good to see Marnus getting some runs. I was getting worried about him. Not sure Sam will get another chance, but who else?

As are the backs of envelopes.

Maybe Price, Waterhouse, Coopers?

Who does the cost estimates I wonder and why are they all woefully inadequate? Obviously companies try to sell something cheap to governments, but surely there has to be an independent costing agency for infrastructure projects?

Good idea for the Qld government. Send all the mines broke then buy them out and keep all the profits.

Donald and Andrew may be swapping stories on the sidelines. :cool:

Trump's Epstein connection won't go away. Castle capers. :smuggrin: https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/life/entertainment/celebrity/royal/2025/09/17/donald-trump-protests-britain
