The federal government paid big law firms more than $60m in 2024-25 to fight NDIS participants appealing decisions about their care packages. Most families represent themselves www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Good news 🥰🥰

Would they be able to get away with all this if we didnt have to go to work? Do work, rent and bills only exist to produce profit, or is it just as importantly a function of social pacification, punishment and control? Is the economy just about money, or is it also about power?

nit.com.au/17-09-2025/2... 2 Australians arrested for arming West Papua resistence. Australia making it known that they are involved in the Indonesian ecocide and genocidal actions in West Papua.

The principle that "Every state has an obligation to prevent genocide wherever it occurs" must extend to state institutions too (eg Creative Aust, SLV, SLQ, etc etc) – not just for the sake of Gazans, but also to protect local institutions from their own executives' surrender to political pressure.

Ireland's President Michael D. Higgins suggests Israel and states supplying it with weapons be excluded from the United Nations, in light of the genocide conclusions in the UN CoI report. @president.ie #Spéirghorm www.rte.ie/news/2025/09...

New appreciation for how difficult escaping IPV in Australia- when I filed for Guardianship of my brother I supplied contact details of his Drs and since I cant get proof of incapacity without my parents knowing. Was informed claim could not proceed. 1/2

I took a look at the free tickets Australian politicians get to the footy, and the role they played killing the ban on gambling ads. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

I am advocating for you to be killed but I am using my inside voice you must debate me this is called democracy

Gretchen Felker-Martin getting her comic cancelled for echoing this exact sentiment is *wildly* on-the-nose

The Albanese Government has long been running a cover-up for this whole PwC affair. Weaselling and snivelling behind-the-scenes. Just like its crookery with the NACC; corruptly stitching-up “donations” laws to block independents/democracy; undermining “freedom of information” laws, etc, etc…

Journos need to grow a real spine - channel Muntadhar al-Zaidi and pelt their respective PMs with shoes until they get their shit together.

Employment law needs to start from an assumption of exploitation not reasonable conduct.

The federal government wants fewer FOIs. Crikey wants more. We know filing FOIs can be daunting — so let us do it for you! For the next few weeks, we're accepting ideas for requests that we'll take, shape, file and then will keep you in the loop when we hear back. www.crikey.com.au/20...

A lot of methane comes from the holes we made looking for oil, gas and coal. The industry is supposed to properly close those holes but it doesn't and governments let the industry get away with it.

"WE CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD BECAUSE SOME OF THAT PUBLIC GOOD MIGHT GO TO SOMEONE I DON'T LIKE" is part of how we got to where we are in 2025

60% of Australian wildlife has been wiped out since Europeans colonised my country 2 centuries ago. They have been here 5 minutes!

Today is #nationalthreatenedspecies Day. This picture represents the halfway point of a long and heartbreaking project to create a visual display of Australia's 2200+ critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable and extinct plants and animals #redlist #threatenedspecies

Anytime you think that depriving reproductive-age women of emergency healthcare is a US problem, remember that Joanna Howe and Robbie Katter appeared on a Christofascist panel about “ending abortion.” #auspol

Ironic that the NDIS loves to give Autistic people a lot of support worker budget for social and community participation without understanding that, broadly, the cognitive load of socialising with a random S.W is an Autist's WORST NIGHTMARE

Hi all! It would be great if you can share this link to the Go Beyond Gas Perth & Swan screening of Corals' Last Stand: www.gobeyondgas.com.au/clsbassendean 7pm Sat Sept 20 at Bassendean Community Hall.

I would like the government to talk less about stopping the small boats and more about building the big trains.

AYK, been on about this for years.

Oil, Gas & Coal corps have our govts in their pocket & have been using sponsorship/patronage strategically for decades to manufacture consent for fossil fuel production 👊End their social license👊

Oooh good news!! How rare ☺️🤗 I hope we can standardise and enforce clean air in schools at the very least

Govt that campaigned on transparency has killed whistleblowing reform, knackered the NACC and forces NDAs on anyone advocating legl reform. Hasn’t introduced a single useful reform in the area - or prosecuted a single serious corruption case - and now wants to cripple FOI too.

I’m sure this point has been made elsewhere but not only did they openly lie about how many recommendations were in the robodebt final report, the one they erased was to reform FOI and now they’re heading in the opposite direction. Surprise is not a feature of my reaction.

Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):

Whatever happened to open, transparent and accountable government? #auspol @albomp.bsky.social

Wasn't it the pharmacy guild that strongly opposed people with chronic conditions being able to pick up double scripts because it robbed them of $1.50 or something similar?

Albo: “there are some good Nazis”

“I think it is an act of terrorism that happened here,” Robbie Thorpe said at the camp on Monday. “It was a premeditated attack on our people; it has been allowed to happen. “Where were the police at that time? There was a group of armed people walking around. Why weren’t they monitored?”

You really need to read this. Maybe many already did. I didn't, but knew anyway. You had to be in willfully denial not to see. And yet many claimed that they didn't. They need to be remembered, and reviled. www.themonthly.com.au/february-202...

One thing I've emphasised in my research is the historical links between the Australian far right and movements overseas, particularly in the UK and US, but also South Africa and Rhodesia. A 🧵 of some of my work on this topic. www.academia.edu/44514478/Whi... www.researchgate.net/publication/...

"... two were taken to hospital with severe head injuries, one with a deep gash to their head, the camp said. ... all of those injured were younger women of colour. "... the men yelled slogans such as “white power” and “white man’s land”, as well as sexist and racist slurs."

If we have special envoys to tackle racism for specific races and cultures who experience racism, why is there no special envoy to tackle racism against First Nations people? #campsovereignty

"Despite this, NT and federal regulators have not forced Santos to repair or replace the tank, or measure how much methane it leaks into the atmosphere when in use. They and the company say the leak is stable, and poses a moderate climate risk but no immediate threat[...]"

A Santos owned leaking tank of Methane in the middle of Darwin can be added to their CSG wells leaking throughout regional Aus. Locals should be furious that this was kept secret. I wonder how much the US govt knew they had a nearby Methane bomb before they turned Darwin into a US Marine Base.

Global societies are adding 40 billion townhouses worth of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere every year. As big as the earth is, when you think about it that way, it makes it exceptionally difficult to imagine how our fossil fuel use couldn't be having catastrophic effects.

Cops totally fumbled whatever they thought they were doing in Melbourne. Hundreds of riot cops at the counter-protest, far-right protest basically wandered wherever they wanted, could see the moment police panicked. There’s just thousands of protestors everywhere.

If you're disgusted by Trumps attempts to establish foreign gulags and forced deportations, you should be disgusted at this too. Australia has been pioneering these assaults on human rights and decency for decades. We are the model for the authoritarian far right.

Filed for guardianship of my brother. Terrified of how my parents might respond when they find out but also SO relieved, definitely the right choice

I want to push crisafulli into a volcano
