Utterances of a gibbering idiot. And any media org that does not report it as such is complicit

Flying foxes die in their thousands in worst mass-mortality event since Australia’s black summer

Humanitarian and Tasmanian legend, Captain Madeline Habib was Captain of the Conscience- a substantial ship, full of doctors and medical aid in a second flotilla. She and her ship have been detained. She first tried to break the blockade into Palestine in 2016. pulsetasmania.com.au/news/tasmani...

One mother and calf trapped for five days ... in distress all this time. FOUR whales now caught in these filthy nets and no way to free them. Drowning! Heartbreaking 🥵 BAN shark nets!!!! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Our aged care system needs to be sustainable but expecting pensioners to pay $50 for a shower doesn’t seem viable. Inspector General of Aged Care has raised serious concerns with the new Support at Home program & we’ve got a senate committee inquiry looking into it. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Incredible that they have gotten in and are doing this but they are in great danger and the least the Australian Government can do is listen to every damn word. And take action. Now. @albomp.bsky.social #auspol

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Off you go then www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

Extremist, misogynistic haters have no place in Australian parliament. This is hideous stuff from Babet. Calling a woman “thing”, “witch” and “demon” is beyond offensive. I hope the senate condemns this filth.

Today the Coalition made clear if elected they would sack public sector workers, cut their pay & return to funnelling our money to the big consultants. We lose jobs, pay, expertise, services & money spent in local communities. Good for consultants profits, bad for the country

Superb commentary on Dutton's nuclear 'plan' from cartoonist Matt Golding. #auspol #energy #nuclear #renewables

this is your annual reminder that ocean spray, the cranberry company, is a member-owned co-op that is obligated by their charter to buy their farmers' entire cranberry crop at higher than market prices! so buy your cranberries this week from ocean spray!

Still flabbergasted over the deputy Liberal party leader so casually saying supporting the ongoing genocide in Gaza was necessary to ensure an ongoing relationship with the United States. Essentially that the deaths of thousands of children is OK because it'll make the US happy.

The head of the NACC, Paul Brereton, may be a decent man, but he is desperately out of his depth as the head of this large, multi-faceted, public-facing, modern, public service organisation. His disastrous performance this afternoon in the Senate hearing underlines that in very clear detail. #NACC

To review: ATTORNEY GENERAL: Allegedly paid for sex with multiple women and a 17-year-old girl SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: Allegedly raped a woman at a conference in 2017 SECRETARY OF HHS: Allegedly sexually assaulted his kids’ baby sitter

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

im on every app. im in your city, in your neighborhood. the sales associate who handed you a large when you asked for a medium? that was me. i am now behind you.

The full low-down on RFK Jr.’s connection to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa and, just as important, how he lied about it. That’s key. Kennedy is an inveterate liar. He makes up facts & plots, and he lies about what he himself has said. Another con man. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Back in 2012, a bunch of us decided we'd had enough of the way Alan Jones talked about women. We decided to #destroythejoint. Much love to all those women and men who helped. www.smh.com.au/national/i-t...

I really don't get how Democrats can be handed the easy layup of "Republicans are uniting to suppress the underage sex trafficking report about an unliked and unqualified nominee" and decide the best thing to do is minimize its importance.

The head of the NACC, retired judge Paul Brereton, is incapable of leading a public service organisation of over 260 people with a very forward facing and very public role He appears either unwilling or unable to accept that he does not have the skill set required for such a vast undertaking #NACC

I wish I was making this up, but the boss of the National Anti-Corruption Commission has given a speech where he admits that he acted with "apprehended bias" during the Robodebt non-investigation. As Bernard Keane and many others argue, Brereton has to resign www.crikey.com.au/2024/11/18/p...

Seriously - The Australian's front page is an "exclusive" from the CEO of Glencore - the world's second biggest coal miner - saying that Albanese should slow down the transition to renewables and use more coal

There is now some hard evidence that X boosted the Trump campaign and suppressed the Harris campaign. What's to stop Musk from doing the same in other countries? www.threads.net/@profsander....

Exclusive: NACC asked former Solicitor-General Justin Gleeson to review its Robodebt decision and then rescinded the offer over concerns that a former Coalition Minister (Person 6) would rain hell. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

Rick Morton on the money here, but it goes further. Justin Gleeson was due to be announced as the eminent legal person last Mon 4 Nov. But Brereton pulled the rug on it all terrified of Scott Morrison's reaction. Scott Morrison is the unnamed minister, the 6th person in the Robodebt 6. #NACC

Let me say something that is controversial because our brains are broken: Vaccines are a miracle and amazing

"Vaccine sceptic" F*cking hell ABC, why even bother?

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again. It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.

between anti-abortion extremists and rfk the trump administration seems to be a targeted effort to increase maternal and early childhood mortality

Vaccination saves lives. Period.

Arguably, the greatest advance in healthcare in the past 100 years was the widespread vaccination of children.

The House Ethics Committee meeting tomorrow in which members were scheduled to vote on whether to release the Matt Gaetz report has been CANCELED, per Reese Gorman

Governments and powerful figures threatening journalists and media outlets with costly legal battles and bankruptcy is a common tactic against press freedom in repressive countries. The press freedom fire is at our door step now. www.cjr.org/the_trump_re...

As summer approaches, a regional Victorian community is running workshops to help educate its newer residents about risks they may not have faced before.

Kaboom. My @smh @theage cartoon.

THREAD: This High Court decision in Bird is pretty devastating for cases of many survivors of institutional abuse. To summarise: * The decision says Catholic Church can’t be vicariously liable for abuse of children committed by its priests. Despite law reforms after child abuse Royal Commission.

The gas giants that export Australia's gas are meant to pay Petroleum Resources Rent Tax. But it raises less money than uni students pay in HECS. It’s time the gas industry started paying its fair share. #auspol

Looking after the kids. My @smh cartoon.

I made a thing. Use it well.

Bloody brilliant 🙌🏻

OMG. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was a wormhole to the future. Trying to explain tariffs when no-one is interested. Here, in 45 seconds, the US election. Anyone, anyone…

the important question isn’t “did Harris lose because the left is too woke?” it’s “why isn’t Donald Trump in federal prison?” We’re being subjected to lectures about politics by the people who held all of the power and let this dipshit slip through their grasp.

JFC. This prick
