Whether it’s his nuclear power scheme, national referendum proposal, public service cuts or back-to-the-office scheme, a lot of Peter Dutton’s policies look half baked. He’s unprepared for the election campaign, and unprepared for return to Govt. #unready #auspol

In February 2025, @johnfocook.bsky.social gave two webinars for republicEN explaining the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change. The 1st webinar focused on the history of this scientific consensus, the 2nd on the misinformation spread about it. skepticalscience.com/webinars-con...

"Most of the world isn't going to put a tariff on Australian beef. If Americans want to pay more for it, that sounds like a them problem, not an us problem," @richarddenniss.bsky.social joined CNN to discuss the potential impacts (or non-impacts) of Trumps tariffs.

“God is found under the rubble in Gaza”

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has confirmed what Australia Institute research has long shown – there is no gas supply shortage in Australia. A reminder: - Australia collects more revenue from HECS than the PRRT - Nurses pay more tax than oil and gas companies - Big gas is taking the piss

Peter Dutton’s gas plan is a superficial solution to a real problem. Australians deserve better | Tony Wood

Hey ABC - instead of asking voters about Dutton's plans re fuel excise - how about asking experts about it? #auspol

Could there be a more appalling scenario than Micaela Cash becoming Foreign Minister?

Labor doing the bidding for the toxic Tasmanian salmon industry has made the EPBC worse than it was under Scomo and the LNP. That’s quite an achievement!

ABC News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CBS News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." MSNBC: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CNN: "An unthinkable breach of national security." Fox News: "We've all texted the wrong person before."

By cutting fossil fuel subsidies, ending the gas industry’s free ride, reforming negative gearing and closing tax loopholes for superannuation and luxury utes, Treasury would raise between $12 billion and $63 billion. Read: 5 ideas for a better tax system:

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Inflation was at 6.1% when the LNP left office and is now at 2.4% under Labor. But of course, lying is permitted in political advertising. #auspol #AusVotes25 Image credit: @alifrance.bsky.social

www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... The Atlas Network. @jeremywalker.bsky.social lays out the reach of their tentacles. #auspol

Always and everywhere label the #AtlasNetwork for what it is, fossil/ corporate political influence machinery. We all need to call it out when we see it.

Atlas Network funds the Canadian Taxpayers Federation & Fraser Institute. Our Canadian Media uses these two groups as "Experts" constantly. Call it out!

Perverse/tragic: Jacinta Nampajinpa Price OzStory. She supported Howard’s ‘intervention’ which did nothing on DV, Indigenous incarceration or ‘close the gap’. She joined dog whistler Pauline Hanson to urge Australians to vote No to constitutional recognition of Terra Nullius (dispossession).

This is one hell of a fantastic long-read by @roycerk2.bsky.social - just, please take in the entire thing Nuclear advocacy out of Canada and the US has become an active part of the Australian conservative push to extend coal/gas power and kill wind and solar plans... drilled.media/news/aus-nuc...
