www.sup.org/how-most-imp... 🔥🔥Dr. Ben Franta has the devastating evidence that Big Oil knew very well from the 1960s the ONLY response to climate disaster was simple: burning coal oil & gas must cease, & be replaced by clean energy systems. (They built #AtlasNetwork to lie to us all instead).🤑🔥🌏💀

Labor is doing nothing to stop Pauline Hanson incite hate & violence against Muslims but political satire in this country is now hate speech. Whitlam's Labor is deceased. michaelwest.com.au/cafe-of-diss...

What Marns said. Stop taking dictation and do the work!

Such strikes led to the founding of NewsCorp by mining monoplies. See: Sally Youngs's Paper Emperors, & my shorter chapter 'Freedom to Burn'. www.researchgate.net/publication/359443471_Freedom_to_Burn_Mining_Propaganda_Fossil_Capital_and_the_Australian_Neoliberals

Incredible how much the media has spent talking about hate speech laws and yet none of the thousands of articles on Hanson mention she recently was found by a federal court of breaching hate speech laws.

The word "interesting" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here 🔥 😂 in respect of Senator Canavan saying he had "never heard of the #AtlasNetwork". His brother an exec at 🇺🇸 coal giant Peabody, which is a major funder of Atlas climate denial propganda and thinktanks in Australia & in the USA.👀👇 #Auspol

More good work from Gareth Hutchens, keeping tabs on the ever-expanding malign influence of fossil-fuel and Christo-techno-fascist backed global networks bent on destroying effective climate policy, amongst other things.

Shallow effort tonight by 4 Corners covering Coalition schisms & rise of PHON. The role of global far-right think tanks like Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (Hastie on its board), Atlas Network affiliates, Christo-techno-fascists & fossil-fuel climate denialists should be front & centre.

Philanthropy is a nice to have in arts funding BUT it can only ever be a fraction of what we really need, which is a BIG increase in government funding. Where's the inquiry on making sustainable, serious funding for for the arts in this country? www.aph.gov.au/About_Parlia...

From the latest episode of Mad As Hell: ‘Angus Taylor’s Brain’ #libspill #auspol

“Race” “science” and “race” “IQ” are really important in the current Right. Eugenics is well and truly back after being disgraced by the Nazis and having some years where it was whispered, not shouted. Ahmed tracks the path back and through to Thiel. subscribe.bylinetimes.com/product/alt-...

🧵Watch Murdoch’s media try to “discipline” the masses just like the think tank project has been doing from the 70s (or 40s if you count the IPA). The victory of a Labor government was always a spur to business spending: the masses had no right to rule & were a threat. Hockey sold his 💩 #Auspol

Breaking: Sophie Scamps will boycott QT in parliament today in protest against Isaac Herzog’s visit. Says he should not be in our parliament - “with the entrance being officially lined with Israeli flags” bcoz it “normalises” Israel’s “atrocities” in Gaza. #auspol

Meanwhile, creative and cultural industries in Australia collapse. Labor’s indifference to the continuing damage being done by Morrison’s “job ready” tertiary fee scheme is starting to look like a political project to limit original thinking & creativity, probably in the cause of “social cohesion”.

Yet another Commonwealth investigation into the integrity of the body charged with protecting the integrity of Commonwealth institutions…

Whitlam knew he was up against the Establishment, the CIA, Garfield Barwick's stacked High Court, the Murdoch, Packer and Fairfax media so he went in boots n'all making radical change while he could, hoping some would survive.

3/ Huge credit to two of the leading researchers exposing this in Australia: Jeremy Walker - bsky.app/profile/jere... & Lucy Hamilton - bsky.app/profile/lucy... Foundational work. I’ll dig deeper soon. For now, understand this: Atlas is the most impactful right-wing think tank network in the world.

👎 I find this unfortunate...

"In north-west Victoria, Mildura experienced just six individual days above 45°C between 1946 and 2000. This month there have been four already, and today another 45°C day is expected." Welcome to The Future, kids.

"The citizen’s identity is now defined against a common enemy. To be saved you must align your internal reality with the state’s threat assessment..By defining the overriding good as systemic “security” & branding fundamental dissent as a security threat, the state seeks to foreclose politics itself

"The future of our democracy is at stake" - Nick Hanna, the lawyer challenging Chris Minn's anti-protest laws. For that interview and a discussion about our fascistic shitshow w/ @emmashortis.bsky.social, @marquelawyers.com.au, @instanterudite.bsky.social, check out this episode. We're back.

“Australia’s post-Bondi political debate isn’t failing because one side is evil and the other is right. It’s failing because everyone’s frame is too small, and small frames produce big mistakes…

Pt. 2 on UK’s Reform & #Auspol’s One Nation. MSM is normalising & growing these parties. In a moment when RW politicians use “social cohesion” to suppress any criticism of their goals & @albomp.bsky.social to suppress criticism of Israel, this is real threat. lucyham29.substack.com/p/the-media-...

When attacks have occurred against other communities, the government has spoken out strongly and acted quickly. First Peoples are asking why this attack against us is being treated so differently. Here's what they should do: nit.com.au/30-01-2026/2...

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

If you ever wanted a working definition of structural racism, our structures are currently performing a textbook example.

The coverage of One Nation this week has been some of the softest coverage of any political force, ever. It's been a shocking week. I think people would be shocked to realise how it compares to what journalists were asking Pauline Hanson 25 years ago. www.lamestream.com.au/how-the-medi...

Excellent work by Gareth Hutchens and the ABC on unelected networks of power. Let’s hope more than a few ABC journalists read it, and that their reporting reflects and includes an understanding that these forces are at work in almost everything, everyday. That’s the role of a public broadcaster.

Well SBSNews were quick to get on board. Maduro and his wife have been “captured” by the US, neatly legitimising the illegal kidnapping of the leader of a sovereign nation.

This abuse has only been possible because Australia coded refugees as Muslim. Like Palestinians, they are defined as less than or non human. Any pain perpetrated upon them, including Dutton going to court to prevent proper medical care for kids literally dying of despair, thus acceptable 🤬 #Auspol

Every paragraph eviscerates… “… an international sports team being managed by a stack of cardboard boxes with a hat on top, a complex two-month tour planned by the administrative equivalent of a well-meaning jar of marmalade.”

When do you think Albanese will realise there’s no placating these people? News Corp pays no tax and adds nothing to Aus society apart from hate, but Labor acts as if it owns them. Instead of fighting back or standing up for themselves, Albanese and co are like “please sir can I have some more?”

Imagine how these people would have prospered under a Dutton-led federal government. They are allies and exemplars of the far-Right Liberals trying to gain control of the party, led by the likes of Christian nationalist Andrew Hastie, backed by fossil fuel & tech. www.theage.com.au/national/mot...

It’s all versions and variations of national conservatism. NatCon brings together the National Council for Policy (Christofascists incl Bannon) with Atlas Network (neofeudal “free market” incl Truss) into a coalition of plutocrat-serving & vengeful bigotry. (Truss tried to invent PopCon 🙄)

The latest corrective services data is out today, and it points a horrific picture of the systemic racism in our judicial system #PointLive live.thepoint.com.au

The government responding to the science, as Albanese and Bowen like to say...

BREAKING: Documents reviewed by @bylinetimes.bsky.social show Jeffrey Epstein received real-time internal White House info in 2019 from Trump's inner circle - while working with Steve Bannon to rebuild his public image by filming on Epstein's private island bylinetimes.com/2025/11/17/j...

“This coalition staves off Time’s Up for next decade plus.” That’s what Steve Bannon told Jeffrey Epstein as they discussed MAGA strategy, crypto funding, midterm propaganda films and breaking into Europe END bylinetimes.com/2025/11/14/s...

The MAGA crowd must be going nuts trying to reconcile their deep loathing of Epstein & their love of Bannon with the revelation that both were working hand-in-glove to build MAGA, while Bannon was also trying to protect Epstein from the fallout of revelations about his sex trafficking crimes. Wild!

This is spot on. Unless we challenge the architecture of influence breaking our shared facts, we’re all screwed. Climate, work, home, affordability. Everything is on the line.

Why do we tolerate this? I guess there just isn’t the leadership around - anywhere - to take them on.

🧵Heritage Foundation is one of the blue chip think tanks of the business Republican space. They drafted the steps for Reagan’s revolution. (The first iteration of Project 2025.) How they respond to the blowback from Pres Kevin Roberts’ Nazi scandal will be telling.

John Menadue: “Charles was a very active participant in the dismissal of Gough Whitlam 50 years ago. Don’t make any mistake about that. Charles was up to his royal ears in it. He was not politically neutral. He sided with privilege and aristocracy.” johnmenadue.com/post/2025/11....

Very helpful pointer from today’s NYT. Where’s the one that says “Cuomo faces questions over links to backer who has 34 felony counts to his name, one official conviction and two impeachments, along with multiple instances of bankruptcy, sexual assault, and complicity in genocide?

“There is a sense that American universities as institutions have deviated from the fundamental values of the nation. Would those be the values founded by carpet-baggers, slavers & religious zealots that ultimately embedded corporations & billionaires as the ultimate legal owners of US democracy?
