APAN’s Ramia Abdo Sultan says recognition of a Palestinian state is “absolutely” welcome but it’s “come a little too late” & “real justice” will only come when there are “consequences for the frequent committed crimes that Israel seeks to commit with full impunity” #Abc

Front of the PM’s Kirribilli residence in Sydney today Natasha Abhayawickrama from the Australian Youth Climate Coalition told 🧶👵 & 60 other protestors why she and other young Australians feels betrayed by Labor’s new climate target of between 62-70% by 2035.

If Penny Wong is serious about the Australian govt wanting to *do something* to stop the #GazaGenocide, Francesca Albanese provided a handy list a couple of months ago. #auspol

CPAC Australia in Brisbane on the weekend was a dumpster fire of climate obfuscation & Charlie Kirk praise. Rita Panahi streamed live her interview with white supremacist & antisemite Jack Posobiec in Arizona. The memorial kept them both away from Brisbane #Auspol open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

BREAKING: Anthony Albanese, Australia's most disappointing PM, completely redefines what is meant by "no one left behind". #AlboTheLiar #AusPol His words are meaningless. He simply CANNOT be trusted.

BREAKING: Grotesque people use death of grotesque individual as opportunity to become even more grotesque. This shameless parody of grief and christianity is obscene.

Great piece from @rossgittins.bsky.social in the SMH today. It references a new report from @richarddenniss.bsky.social on how Australian governments game their climate targets to conceal their lack of climate action. Read: australiainstitute.org.au/report/targe...

End AUKUS. We can't have an ally threatening us with "punitive measures". Republicans warn Anthony Albanese of 'punitive measures' over Palestinian recognition www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

From today, JobSeeker will be indexed to $56.69 a day. That's 89 cents more - or what Labor calls "cost of living relief" 🫠 Claiming credit for an automatic inflation adjustment that keeps people in poverty tells you everything you need to know about the state of the ALP.

#AlboTheLiar heads the LEAST transparent 'government' of the past quarter century. He is deceitful and duplicitous and simply CANNOT be trusted. #AusPol #SpeaksWithForkedTongue

Oh. Right. OK. Maybe there's a reason this sonofabitch didn't get a jail sentence – over and above the #SystemicRacism This stinks to hell back. #SackTheAG

Pets! Terrible pests or miraculous joy or both? Australia says yes! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In 2023, I spent a few months investigating why so many Aboriginal pedestrians were killed in road accidents in the NT. There was a lingering sense that racism played a part in this over representation, and that some drivers were dehumanising Aboriginal people. And lo: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

The Albanese govt would be well pleased that much mainstream media has lazily taken up its "middle of the road" talking point on the emissions target. But fails to admit how that 'road' has veered away from the science, and would lead us to global heating of over 2 degrees. #ClimateCrisis #auspol

12/9 - Labor approves biggest gas export project in the country, out to 2070. 15/9 - Labor releases chilling climate report. 18/9 - Labor gives up on the science and caves in to their coal and gas donors. committing to just 62-70% climate target by 2035.

Barbara Pocock asks what is ASIC’s max penalty, after they slugged ANZ with $240mill? Sarah Court says it’s in the “many billions of dollars” but ASIC chose not go for such a big fine bcoz it’s “sooo high”🙄 ANZ makes billions in profit each year. No wonder they never learn.

Gentle reminder that Labor’s targets are bullshit because their emissions reduction policies are bullshit - real emissions aren’t falling at all, they’re flat, but the govt employs land-use accounting tricks and dodgy offsets to sell their lies

"Australia has a clear case to take further action against Israel ... but it remains unclear what steps the federal government might take." – Cheyne Anderson Australia about to recalibrate the Concern-O-Meter with some new adverbs. Stand by for new variants of the furrowed brow. #AusPol

"They need to demonstrate what is the cost and most particularly ... where's the credibility?" – Sussan Ley, Shadow Minister for Peak Irony. #AusPol

This deplorable sonofabitch should be in jail. He killed a man and injured another and then joked about it. Justice Sonia Brownhill needs to have a serious rethink of which way her moral compass is pointing. #InjusticeSystem

Justice Sonia Brownhill needs a MAJOR reassessment. A man was KILLED, and another injured, in a hit and run by a speeding driver, who went on to joke about it with his mates. His penalty according to Justice Sonia Brownhill? Five months home detention. MORALLY INDEFENSIBLE. #SystemicRacism

It never fucking ends. Apparently, killing indigenous people is just fine, as long as you 'show remorse' and acknowledge your behaviour was 'disgusting'. #InjusticeSystem #SystemicRacism

"...successive LNP and Labor Governments have consistently placed the interest of oil and coal companies above those of the nation itself. It presents the Australian government with an acute dilemma – to side with its people or to side with foreign-owned fossil corporates." @juliancribb.bsky.social

The First National Climate Risk Assessment makes it clear that actions which promote the continued use of fossil fuels by Australia are inimical to the interests of its people and, indeed, to all citizens and offers an honest appraisal for Australia. @JulianCribb #auspol #climate

What is the threshold for sanctioning PM Netanyahu and his govt?! Signatories to the genocide convention like 🇦🇺 must take action in the face of genocide, including taking measures to stop it. The global community has to do more. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Will Albanese meet the moment? It's lovely that @adammorton.bsky.social maintains his optimism in the face of the evidence. #AlboTheLiar just recently allowed the NWS to proceed. This is how he meets the moment. #AusPol #ClimateCrisis

The problem with the ABC in particular is their news is now produced via google trends The editors don't make a decision about what's newsworthy - they have to follow google The players know this and swamp the socials and Newscorp, etc, with agit-prop which trends And then the ABC has to cover it

Again and again: free speech silenced at the behest of an organised pro-Israel lobby group by weak-kneed management. If people don’t stand up to this pressure there won’t be a single institution left in which anyone can talk about the genocide in Gaza.

A must-read explainer from @jcobevans.bsky.social on carbon budgets. If 🇦🇺 is to avoid blowing ours, we need an emissions target of 75% cut by 2035. The Govt must stand up for Australia’s future and set a target that secures their future. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Had a read of the climate risk report... oddly didn't see anywhere it saying "and therefore approving a 50 year extension to the North West Shelf is all good" www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This tonight on 4Corners is important viewing - it is my view that the Plymouth Brethren should be investigated for their oppressive practices to members and those who leave the church, and for whether it’s appropriate they are tax exempt and have charity status

"Cali describes the lifestyle of tradwives as a "stay-at-home mum, embracing homemaking duties, Biblical femininity, ..."." Biblical femininity? People who say stupid shit like this have never read the bible. The bible says women raped in town should be stoned to death. #WholesomeAsFuck

The Israeli Government has made an ad about the Global Sumud Flotilla headed for Gaza, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

Australia has a system where CEO’s role play being homeless for one safe night a year and it seems to be going really well. It’s only in its 19th year.

If only we had national anti- corruption commission to look into things like this

BREAKING from us at #4Corners: Former Morrison govt Health Minister Greg Hunt working for a Brethren company which received $54 million in COVID-19 contracts from Health Department while he was Minister. Mr Hunt says decisions made by his department, not him. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

The Matildas have announced an international friendly against England this October, the first time they will face the European champions since the semifinal of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Approving new coal and gas projects means rejecting climate science. Approving new gas and coal projects means rejecting the pleas of our Pacific neighbours The fact that we give half of our gas exports away for free just rubs economic salt into the the scientific and diplomatic wounds

BREAKING: Australia's special envoy to combat Islamophobia, Aftab Malik, due to be labelled anti-Semitic any minute now. #AusPol #Islamophobia

BREAKING: Anti-environment Minister, Murray Megawatt, just confirmed Australia is going to fuck the planet sideways. #AusPol #ClimateCrisis Thanks for nothing #AlboTheLiar

Today's final approval of the North West Shelf is a climate, economic, and energy security disaster. Australia Institute analysis shows the 45-year expansion is equivalent to building 12 new coal power stations. @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

Great writing: "Back at home, post Winter ball, the most vapid and creatively deficient political class in the OECD still doesn’t get it... The government attempts to alchemise its anaemic bandaid policies in light of the kinetic chaos on the planet..." @boganintel.bsky.social #AusPol

Govt needs to put the community ahead of the fossil fuel industry’s expansion and set a strong 2035 target so we can show global leadership and push other countries to do the same. Govt should be serving the people, not the big gas exporters. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/906267...

Good riddance to bad rubbish #NoTears

Give it a fucking rest, Terry.

BREAKING: With furrowed brow, Penny Wong, Minister for Expressing Concern, says Israel has been very naughty. #FFS #AusPol #FuckIsrael
