Don Farrell asked why after all this time, the #NACC still hasn’t made any major findings of corruption. “That’s an indication that the system is working. There is no corruption, & I say that's a good thing!” Appalling response. It doesn’t even make sense. Makes my blood boil.

There were ample laws to prevent this or shut it down. The NSW Police just didn’t want to.

Shoebridge ? What happened to him 😢? Never thought he would steep so low to spread a rumour that Australia sold the drone to Israel that killed an Australian aid worker in Gaza. But then he blocked money for homes for women escaping DV, veterans and repairs to homes in Indigenous communities.

Oh come on the man has just died after a long battle with a nasty cancer . He has a family who is grieving and no doubt watched him suffer. I was no fan of him in later yrs . But when did we get so unkind in this country to stick the boots into grieving loved ones Social media at its worst today

The Kelpie’s been alerting to thunder for two hours under a clear sky and warm wind but this reactive girl is never wrong. Battening down.

Can we let his family grieve ? He had a pretty horrible cancer 😢 He was a powerbroker and a numbers man who helped get Hawke and Keating be PM In later yrs his actions were questionable . Is today the day to bag him ? I just always feel for loved ones

Those with inherited wealth, trust funds, share portfolios and multiple properties aren’t flash on sharing wealth. Anybody who thinks a 15% GST is ‘fair’ taxation is out of touch with anybody on Centrelink or essential workers in the gig economy . Kate Chaney is disappointing to say the least

Australia's national electricity grid reached an important milestone in October, with renewable energy providing 50% of our electricity over the month for the first time.

"It is not true that Australia has never experienced a revolution. Fifty years ago, the nation saw a bloodless coup where the underpinning conventions of our parliamentary democracy were overthrown." Paul Bongiorno on the Dismissal:

She was always awful . A moderate for them and mean spirited about helping the poor . Motivated by wealth accumulation and privatisation . Their intent is to leave as many as possible behind . They cut public health and education, were cruel on the Voice , weak on climate change and are Euro centric

What does that mean, 'skips parliament'? In any other job she didn't turn up to she'd be sacked. Did she get paid for this speech as well as by Australian taxpayers while being AWOL? This makes me so harrumphy. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Incredible that we spent so long asking for a proper NACC and they're like 'we can do better than that, we can have a useless NACC but also a guy whose one job is investigating Paul Brereton conflicts of interest'

It was a false-invoicing scam, and it was devised KNOWING that vulnerable people couldn't fight it. It was essentially fraud, and it resulted in deaths. The people responsible need to face meaningful consequences.

Tania Lawrence speaks up for members of her community who stood up against a Neo Nazi attack & unleashes on Sussan Ley for “cowering to political extremism to save her own political skin” “I see no courage in the leader of the Opposition….”🔥 #HouseOfReps

This waiting list is not new . I did ACAT assessments . Prior to the decade of LNP gutting the system the KPIs of waiting time for emergency assessments was 48 hrs and 6 weeks for non urgent . This blew out to 6 weeks for an emergency and 18 months for routine. Don’t blame Labor

The #ABC interrupted Australian news to show us a roll call of fire departments acting in a Louisville USA cargo plane crash. Anyone know why this is given such importance?

Katy Gallagher says there’s over 5000 social & affordable homes built by Labor after the LNP built just 373 in 9yrs in office “They worked very phard to deliver that 373…they were exhausted!”🤣 & calls out the “big crab walk away” from their besieged super for housing policy💥 #QT

Tim Wilson, who won Goldstein by 175 votes, doesn’t think he should have to work on Cup Day.

Would Gina Rinehart and Pauline Hanson like to give us an account of their appearance & behaviour at Trump's awful, super-rich people & henchfolk, missed-the-point, Gatsby-themed party in Florida, with all the un-drained Swamp Thing People?

Barnaby Joyce on Sky News claims that solar & wind are “not renewables” “Let’s call them angel power.” 🤦‍♂️ So Sussan’s dilemma is whether to stay tied to Net Zero, or to blokes like this? 🤔 Is it really that hard a decision?

Social media outfit Advance, bankrolled by Gina, backed by the Murdochs, IPA, Nampijinpa, Pauline Hanson, Tony Abbott, John Howard pays for what Steve Bannon calls “enshitification” = flooding a polity with “shit” - fear/propaganda. Now it’s “mass” migration and net zero 2050.

Maybe more to do with the big swinging dicks and climate change rather than wealth distribution The pragmatic and worldly Mon Ryan who has witnessed structural inequalities chips away at social justice issues. The others ? Time will tell . Anybody who wants a 15% GST has no idea about poverty

Good luck getting support from the Indis in wealthy electorates . Political Suicide for them not to look after the wealthy shareholders, neg gearers and trust funders . The ‘economically sensible’ Chaney wants a 15% GST and supports the live sheep trade . The bottom line is the $

Grace Tame's review of Tony Abbott's book is an absolute scream, in two ways.

Excellent news!

But last time we tried to create a National EPA, the Greens and the Coalition teamed up to block it. Show your support by asking your state or territory Senators to listen to our community and pass legislation to create an EPA: alp.org.au/epa-now

Limelight-chasing ghouls Hastie, Joyce & two other nowhere-nobodies grandstanding to get in the way of a parliament united to help the mothers & fathers of stillborn children as they go through unimaginable grief. May they reap what they sow. Galatians 6:7 www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

An exceedingly stupid Getty agency AI image in today's Guardian with a false caption claiming that it's of a surgeon using a lead pencil to draw random black ink arrows on a young woman with a tight jaw and no expression, in full make-up, allegedly immediately before 'face-lift' surgery.

Well, now we might find out what schemozzle shenanigans are going on with the artist formerly known as the Bureau of Meteorology.

Robodebt, the Voice, Reynolds and Joyce sum up the coalition . A mean spirited and punitive lot who kick the most vulnerable in the head and look after themselves . May they be in opposition for a very long time

It is unbelievable how badly trashed the Bureau of Meteorology website is now. You'd be forgiven for thinking it's a conspiracy to advantage private apps to use free govt info from BOM to package forecasts, radar, warnings so it's well-designed & accessible - for profit - like they do in the US.

Aussies - another "must read"👹👹

Albanese and Rudd are shrewd and not poking the bull. Trump has bigger fishes to fry dealing with >100 countries . Gaza, Ukraine,Russia and China have more clout than Oz SE Asia is hurting because of tariffs . Trump has to keep the Dept of Defence happy. Navy wants docking bases for 11th fleet

I doubt anyone is believing any "hype", I'm no fan of Albanese's, but I'm confident he's been around the block enough times to have the measure of trump (his comments a few years ago prove this), he got in and out unscathed, that's all that was necessary.....the rest is media hype....

Murdoch should be banned for all business in Australia. www.youtube.com/shorts/pctQv...

In case you missed it on msm. One of the reasons for the crisis in Aged Care is lack of staff . Under the LNP a Diploma of Nursing cost $10,000 . A lot of money for many young people or older women re entering the workforce. This course is now free. Education and training staff is cost effective

There are some big thinkers in the Labor Cabinet . They hit the ground running in 2022 and haven’t stopped working to try and correct the rubbish dump left by the LNP.

I can think of no other social issue where men as a collective are more silent, more absent and more inactive than male violence against women. Male violence against women is a men’s issue.

I heard a Nat on RN talking about ‘prime farming land’ being sacrificed to wind turbines &solar. Let’s ignore coal mines & fracking as he did, but no one wants profitable land converted. Its in the rubbish land every farmer has that can be converted to renewables that opportunity lies. &he knows it.

Sally McManus calls out Sussan Ley for “not telling the truth” on multi employer bargaining & saying it’s bad for small business McManus “Small bus is exempted from multi employer bargaining” “either she doesn’t know her facts, but I would say it’s big business in her ear”🔥 #Abc

You can either march against racism or march with racists . Sad that those in The March For Australia don’t march for all Australians just the white ones

Today’s brilliant editorial… www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/21849/...

Editorial: Imagine that a young woman is raped in your office. You are a minister and she is the most junior member of your staff. In the footage you see later, she is too drunk to put on her shoes... satpa.pe/pr9pTvW

My good God, reading about USA politics is both exhausting and scary. Here in Australia, we should be both alert and alarmed. Protect our precious and fragile democracy - with its checks and balances- to stop the contagion.
