Yep. The ALP is just as dishonest and inefficient as the Liberal Party and I never thought I would be saying that. This Parliament is a sham (with a very small group of exceptions)

Stay weird, Portland! (would seriously love to see an episode of Portlandia where Fred and Carrie organise a rave protest)

🔥Barbara Pocock slices up Richard Windeyer from Dept of Finance for allowing PwC back into govt contracts RW “We were making a judgement about when we think the organisation is sufficiently changed & different”🤔 BP “How can u make that judgment over the top of the police?”💥 #Estimates

It's just Albo and the rest of the lowlife Labor party showing exactly how much they care about real Aussies !!! Both parties, Labor and the LNP are deeply UNAUSTRALIAN traitors who really should be in prison, not parliament !!!

Liam O'Hanna said after case thrown out last month that charges aimed at silencing dissent over Gaza war.

The fact Wong thinks she can just snark her way out of this is a sign of how normalised the relationships between politicians and lobbyists have become. Like, of course the PM shouldn't be president of a registered lobby group that sells corporate members access to politicians? No shit??

A blow by blow unpacking of what happened with Chris Hedges and the press club, plus 'genocide glam' as Israel pays US influencers to try and win over Gen Z who don't like what they're seeing the IDF do. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/w...

"We were always fractured, questioning, complex – that was our strength. The danger was never difference; the danger was the oppression that demanded silence, that forbade questions, until even love could no longer be spoken." Must read from @sarahschwartz.bsky.social - for Jews and for all of us.

And don't forget they have Gladys as a senior exec even though she was found guilty of committing serious corruption while Premier of NSW.

According to hacked emails obtained by @dropsitenews.com, 'journalist' Douglas Murray was allegedly writing secret draft speeches for the Israeli ambassador to the UN while also pretending to be an independent 'journalist'.

I'm going from disappointed to really fucking angry.🤬

Claiming depreciation on Albo would be contested by a range of powerful vested interests. After all, he is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the fossil fuel lobby, consultancy firms, the gambling industry, Big Sport, aged care private providers, private employment services, weapons manufacturers...

The 'Surviving Malka Leifer' documentary is heart wrenching and traumatic but well worth your time. It documents the Hell these three brave women have gone through, not least of which was how the Melbourne ultra-Orthodox Adass community closed ranks to protect their abuser, instead of her victims.

Timeline cleanse. This deadly gingin jarjum. 🖤💛❤️ Keeping culture strong.

The death of journalists in Gaza constitutes the worst crime against journalism in living memory, yet the NPC has never asked a speaker to address it. Now they’ve cancelled the person who proposed speaking about it.

The LNP Remnants are torn between christian nationalism, neoliberal ideology & dog-eat-dog libertarian drivel. None of which offers comfort of promise to a progressive society. It’s an unappealing cobbled together doctrine that’s been cast in the mud of an ancient conservative swamp. #auspol

You should be able to claim depreciation on the value of Prime Ministers in your tax return, because this one turned out to be pretty much worthless #auspol

If Labor wishes to reclaim its moral authority, it must break with the consultant paradigm: rebuild public governance, fund socially vital disciplines and restore universities as places of learning, not revenue streams. #auspol #universitiesAU

Word of the Day is ‘tandsmør’, from Danish. It describes bread that is buttered so thickly you can see tooth marks in it after every bite. Its literal translation? ‘Tooth butter’.

The Trump administration's crackdown on dissent started with its targeting of Palestine protesters. Two years into the Gaza genocide, we are now seeing these attacks expand to all critics, regardless of their connection to Palestine. mondoweiss.net/2025/10/two-... #Palestine #Israel

Having charged Richard Boyle for 66 offenses, tied up the courts for 6 years, spent $339,703 on external legal fees, chilled whistleblowing - with the Court refusing to convict - it’s mind-blowing the CDPP still thinks his prosecution was in the public interest. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ #auspol

I encourage you to listen to Greta Thunberg's full statement. Thunberg seeks a just and sustainable world for all, rather than short-term financial gain for the few.

Watched the Surviving Malka Leifer story on Stan. Absolutely heart-rending, what those sisters went through. And just for a change (not), an insular community that closes ranks to protect the perpetrator not the victim. 🙄

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH: djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey." Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it." djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret." And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children. #PedoPrez

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.
