Premier Peter Malinauskas’ decision to overturn SA's ban on gas fracking is not only irresponsible, but also unnecessary. Australia doesn't have a gas shortage problem, we have a gas export problem. And fracking in vulnerable farming communities won't fix it. #auspol @richarddenniss.bsky.social

“Shame must change sides.” -Gisèle Pelicot She was raped. But she insisted on an open courtroom, where videos of her assault were played during the proceedings. The 50 men that raped her high-fived eachother during break. All of the defendants were found guilty. Her memoir became a best seller.

In just months, Zohran Mamdani has shown what politics looks like when leaders actually try governing for ordinary people instead of donors and cable news panels. Affordable housing, childcare, transit, workers’ dignity and immigrant protection are not “radical” ideas.

AOC: “It is time for the North to pull up to the South and let them know exactly what they have uncorked with this injustice. They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant they just awakened. What they thought was the final blow is actually just the opening silo”

The Farrer by-election result is another example of how there is no such thing as a safe seat. Director of The Australia Institute's Democracy & Accountability Program Bill Browne explains. Read more here: https://australiainstitute.org.au/report/power-sharing-in-australian-parliament/

Anthony Albanese says we at the Australia Institute need to be fair dinkum about a 25% gas export tax. Well, this is us being fair dinkum! @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Worth remembering Australians pay a low rate of income tax compared to other advance economies. You would have to earn more than $200,000 before you start paying more tax in Australia than in the USA We are a low taxing nation. Automatic tax cuts each year will only reduce govt services.

Using Jesus to sanctify an industry built on environmental destruction isn’t faith, it’s marketing. The Bible consistently warns against leaders who “call evil good” to serve their own interests. Christians should be the first to challenge this spiritual manipulation. www.desmog.com/2026/05/13/o...

Here are the facts: People have always had and will always have abortions in all 50 states. Abortion pills are safe, effective, and have been used by millions of people. No court or politician can change either of those realities.

The massive cuts to the NDIS won't fix the systemic fraud and inflated costs. Instead, some of the most vulnerable members of the community will pay the price. @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

The changes to the capital gains tax discount don't apply to new build houses, so fearmongering about discouraging new supply is just wrong.
