The Federal Courts handed every court transcript to outsourced provider VIQ Solutions. VIQ then publicly boasted their AI was trained in partnership with Australian courts, without a single litigant ever being told or asked for their consent on often intensely private material.

#auspol our political class sees Australia as a resource to sell to private enterprise. We need a political class that sees Australia as a nation.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... The Coalition has done a deal with One Nation because they are worried One Nation will wipe them out. We will never know what One Nation offered the Liberal/National Parties to strike this deal, but what we do know is this isn’t about Farrer.

Australia "invests" $184 billion into fossil fuels by 2030 via diesel subsidy, which kills 1 in 5 people through emissions alone (then there's suicidal workers, ff induced climate fuckery like heatwaves, the list goes on...), The NDIS = every $1 in gives back $2.25. Which is blowing out the budget?

Coulda Woulda Shoulda Didn’t. Australian Labor Government under Albanese. Disappointing. A super majority, and a ton of political goodwill. Under-utilised.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

"Experts" are saying that the Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme is not viable. Then spend the AUKUS subs money on it instead. We'll never get the subs anyway.

There is no razor gang for the diesel subsidy. There is no razor gang for 170 billionaires. There is no razor gang for fossil fuel's unpaid taxes and damages to society. There's a razor gang for the disabled. Congratulations, corrupt Australia. We know who you want dead. #AusPol #NDIS #disability

Shell Oil suggested they were putting $1m into the Aus Energy Producers advert campaign because its adverts need to meet "Advertising Standards" "unlike those from The Australia Institute" So @jack-thrower.bsky.social & I decided to fact check their advert live.thepoint.com.au

I love that they say things like 'people will be moved to services outside NDIS' as though there are actually services there for those people to access. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

New Australia Institute research shows that the Japanese Government makes more revenue taxing Australian gas than the Australian Government! "They're taxing our gas. There's no reason we can't." @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

So we have all the money in the world for bombs and submarines but sfa for NDIS weird am I the only person that finds this offensive?

I will say it again. Warfare in the technological age has changed everything. We don’t need to spend $380bn on subs.

Is private health insurance a rort surely not? $6.9B subsidies, $1.7B in combined profits Medibank, BUPA, NIB but underpay hospitals by over $1B #auspol Claudia Weisenberger analysis michaelwest.com.au/private-heal...

You do not need to be a "good" writer to be successful. If Rowling was the genius writer you're claiming people would be clamouring for her detective novels, but she's not. She's a mediocre hack who got lucky.

"Spitting on the ANZAC tradition". Table @euromedhr.bsky.social rape and torture report, report it, writes Andrew Brown, or else Australia's politicians and media are complicit in IDF war crimes #auspol michaelwest.com.au/table-the-eu...

Defence Minister Richard Marles is dedicated to ensuring Australia remains a loyal vassal of the United States — at enormous cost to taxpayers, writes Bernard Keane. www.crikey.com.au/2026/04/17/r...

We need an unequivocal statement from Labor that Australia will not be dragged into an illegal war led by Netanyahu and Trump. Obfuscation, weakness, sycophancy, fear and appeasement of Trump weakens our economy sovereignty and standing on the world stage. Courage not cowardice!

The Federal Court has today ruled that Australian citizen Dan Duggan will be extradited to the United States, where he faces up to 65 years in prison for conduct that wasn’t even an offence under Australian law. It's deeply distressing news for so many.

Once upon a time Australia used to laugh at America for spending ludicrous amounts of money on weapons of mass destruction as their own citizens couldn't afford Food, Shelter healthcare or quality education. How time changes... We don't have to continue this path AUKUS must be abolished immediately

Just yesterday Labor bet everything in defence on binding us to the US. Trump didn’t even notice, let alone care, and has come out and attacked Australia anyhow. This is not a relationship of friends or allies, we are being held hostage and need to escape.

Who owns you? www.threads.com/@georgie_bar...

If you think it’s embarrassing to be from the USA, at least you aren’t Australian. Imagine watching the current USA leadership and yet you’re still tripping over yourself to be its vassal state. Pathetic.

How long before we admit that the US is now an enemy of Australia, and of our region? It is actively interdicting vital resource deliveries, to us and our close neighbours. Many might interpret that as an act of war.

You know what... only the dumbest of dumbfucks thinks dealing with the Epstein Regime is a matter of diplomacy and we clearly have far too many dumbfucks because here we are... These greedy parasites need to be arrested for war crimes. Their supporters shunned their ideologies relegated to history

Australia we can be better than a weapons manufacturing plant beholden to nefarious regimes who on a whim decide whether or not we should feel threatened this week or next. We need to abolish AUKUS untangle ourselves from to the Epstein Regime reject the insanity from Israel. Punch up not down

Critical legal step taken today to help end Australia’s export of weapons and weapon parts to Israel. Three Palestinian human rights groups, represented by @theacij.bsky.social have filed legal action to force transparency over Australia’s arms exports to Israel acij.org.au/joint-media-...

@albomp.bsky.social It's past time to be diplomatic when dealing with the Epstein Regime it's time to tell them to take a long fucking walk to fuck off mountain anything less is pure bullshit

Anybody else really pissed off that Australia is wasting time money and resources to facilitate indiscriminate killing of people to make a few billionaires richer whilst people are unable to put food on the table? Who's fucking idea was this? Do we grow up at any point? No more wars!!

Here is a list of the #EV trucks coming to Australia real soon! fleetevnews.com.au/electric-tru...

This must end the Israel state is a terrorist organisation they have forfeited their rights for it will never be enough

Australia ought to be with Spain not complicit with the Epstein Regime www.threads.com/@aaliamauro/...

A reminder that the adoption of the IHRA definition - as pushed by Australian Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal - is part of a coordinated global effort to suppress any criticism of Israel's genocidal policies. And the Australian government has caved in. #auspol

@albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social WTF ALBO? Since when are charities in Australia untouchable because they are funding a genocide tax free! Get off your arse and make it law. Your government is quite used to not abiding international law. DO IT! michaelwest.com.au/charities-fu...

How is bombing for peace going?

This fool Barnaby Joyce could not be more wrong. In the midst of a diesel scarcity crisis, bringing regional Australia into a shutdown - he wants to pour scorn on renewables and double down on the fossil fuel grift. EV trucks exist Joyce! #insiders www.volvotrucks.com.au/en-au/trucks...

Watching #insiders and see how inept and uninformed the panel is on what’s actually happening in the world - then to Barnaby - what a joke Australian MSM has become #auspol

This appalling war that Labor supports is unravelling into chaos as Trump now calls for a Coalition of the Unwilling to send warships. Australia must refuse and instead join with other nations, not to fight this illegal war, but to help end it.

For the sake of taxpayers, let's hope that the Audit Office is inspecting the AUKUS books closely. Australian money is flushing into the US submarine construction system – a billion US dollars so far, with another billion by year's end. What will Australia have to show for it? #auspol #AUKUS

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

The $300 energy rebate won't be extended for struggling citizens in 2026 but The commonwealth government and the NSW government will underwrite costs from Snowy-Hydro to guarantee affordable power for the Tomago aluminium smelter owned by Rio Tinto it's unclear how much this will cost... 🤦‍♀️

Australia Institute research shows 80% of Australia’s gas is exported by multinational gas corporations, who then tell us we have a gas shortage. Big Gas is Taking the Piss. Add your name to the call to fix Australia's gas export problem: https://nb.australiainstitute.org.au/fix_gas_export_problem

Even more US military assets coming to Australia. More US bases. More US weapons. Celebrating a dominant foreign government sending its military into our harbours and cities and taking multiple footholds here … it’s cringeworthy, tragic and wrong.
