“I am deeply humbled to return the stewardship of Australia to its original owners, the Sports Betting industry.”

You guys should really go read old issues of your newspaper to see just how idiotic you sound now by comparison.

Sportsbet was invited to a Labor party fundraising dinner with an Albanese government minister earlier this week, despite bipartisan calls for the party to ignore lobbying from the wagering industry and introduce tougher regulation. @henrybelot.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

On Monday, the ABC's storied investigative program 4 Corners completely pole-axed the online bookmakers. On Wednesday, Alexi Baker, the partner of new ABC managing director Hugh Marks, decides its a good idea to join the BETR board. Only in Australia x.com/maynereport/...

Geez, imagine advising this bloke that going to this looney-racist festival is a smart idea

The 2022-23 tax stats just dropped. And there we have it: 91 millionaires who paid ZERO tax

@abcnewsaustralia.bsky.social @abcnewsbot.bsky.social how are we now able to trust any news from you about anything from the Middle East? What don’t we yet know about how lobby groups have affected ABC decisions??

"If 85% of 12-17 year olds have seen a gambling ad on TV in the past month, is it any wonder that young people talk about betting odds like they once did player stats?" Unfettered gambling advertising means young Australians lose big – @mhharrington.bsky.social in @thenewdaily.bsky.social

"What was it you guys said about net zero emissions by 2050?" "(Yet) you’re happy for (NW Shelf) to pump out greenhouse gases in 2070, 20 years after it’s meant to be over?" < t.co/KxkVq6wpSD > Effective government means standing up to corporate power. Ross Gittins nails Albo's essential weakness.

Template seems to be; Have a well-known losing candidate campaign UNPAID for 3 years to win back the seat by the barest of margins. NB. Seat must have the 2nd biggest Liberal party membership in the State. I can't see that being very replicable. #auspol www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

The Age outlined all the different Liberal proxy groups who had targeted Goldstein Independent Zoe Daniel. Liberal Tim Wilson denies any coordination with these groups - but that's frankly a load of 💩. Factually there's relationships at hand. People aren't dumb #auspol

Laura Tingle on the idea that there’s a “need” for gas to “speed up the transition” Tingle “This is all a little bit cute David” “I mean the PM was linking the NWS project with the Tomago Aluminium smelter (in NSW) this week” “NWS doesn’t provide any gas to the East Coast” youtu.be/0fYut3W4otA?...

The main problem with gormless pricks like Tim Wilson is that they're not in parliament for the people of their electorates—they're only there for themselves. And over the years, I've come to the conclusion this descriptor fits at least 93-94% of our MPs. There's not many Andrew Wilkies. #auspol

The ongoing loss of life, starvation and human suffering in Gaza is unconscionable and I do not accept that Australia's influence is limited. I have written to the Prime Minister asking him to use the authority of his office in a stand against the actions of Israel. #gaza #auspol bit.ly/4mz81ut

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

“Julian Burnside has locked horns with Treasurer Josh Frydenberg over Liberal Party donations and the Treasurer approving the sale of 43 Australian hospitals, subsidised by taxpayers, to a company in the Cayman Islands tax haven.” michaelwest.com.au/burnside-to-....

“Private is always better at business than the public sector” - Liberal National ideology. And the evidence is IN!! www.smh.com.au/business/com...

Ken Henry said voters, concerned about self-interest, were electing populist governments that were engaged in “intergenerational larceny”. They were aided by vested interests that did not want any change because they benefited from the current inequitable tax system. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Flooding on the North Coast of NSW, Australia...you may not believe in Climate Science but your Insurance Companies sure as hell do.

Wrote about this being a strong possibility and yup - the Nationals have had a massive dummy spit and broken up the Coalition. Marching both parties even closer to obscurity. Absolutely amazing.

This Independent’s preferences are going to be crucial in Bradfield. He is the largest of the vote counts still to be distributed - 4647 votes. He preferenced Boele ahead of Lib Kapterian 👀 🍿

Advance blew $15M trying to “destroy the Greens,” yet ended up helping Labor instead, and now blames “bed-wetting Liberals” for their flop. Cry me a fucking River … 🙄🙄 Fossil Fuel supporting culture war clowns don’t win Australian elections anymore. #auspol #BinNight #FossilFuels

Alan Kohler’s cogent memo to Australian politicians and Rupert: “Making up your own science when you're not a scientist can only make you sick or dead” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Also the argument is "what if the threshold is not changed for 30 years??? Then 10% of people will be affected!" Ok, but that would mean a successive elections, Australians voted for that. So.... maybe cope harder?

As the vote count continues (although he's already claimed victory) it's embarrassing that Liberal MP Tim Wilson is now posting excruciatingly implausible Tim Wilson fanfiction. The narcissism of the guy is genuinely disturbing. 🙄 #auspol #AusVotes25 #GoldsteinVotes

“Victoria’s gambling regulator asked intervene in dispute over how much gambling revenue AFL should receive from each bet placed. The league initially wanted to charge all bookmakers a minimum annual fee of $20,0000. For some, this was lowered to $3,000 in 2025, $5,000 in 2026 and $7,000 in 2027.”

“I have every finger crossed that a batch of international postal votes lands in the next two days and a few other things that need to, go our way. “No matter what, as always, I’m so buoyed by the love, support, and ferocious determination that has been sent my way over the last week.”

Yes this young lady is going to be a great asset to our country and she will run as a senator in the next election. Her NPC talk today was very impressive and worth watching.

This description falls squarely within the legal definition of genocide as set out in the 1948 Genocide Convention and the Rome Statute of the ICC.

Advance supported groups like J-United. The Liberal/Coal - Australians for Prosperity 🤡 ➡️ all campaigning to damage Zoe Daniel’s reputation. Tim Wilson is a “think tank” animal who was shortlisted for the #AtlasNetwork’s highest global prize for 💣 carbon price. #auspol theaimn.net/tim-wilson-s...

The Liberals and Advance and the Zionist lobby joined to run a vicious smear campaign on the ground in Kooyong and Goldstein (they also targeted Allegra Spender in her seat) Not much about it in the broader media but it was off the charts vicious

Odd that the fossil fuel and gambling lobbies have been effectively blackmailing Labor for years and he doesn't complain about that
