The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme keeps Australian medicines affordable, and Big Pharma hates it. Now Trump is angling for Australians to pay US style prices for life-saving drugs. @skyelark0 explains ⤵️ #auspol

Queensland puberty blocker ban unlawful due to ‘political’ interference and lack of consultation, court hears

Just saw a thread in which people were crying misogyny about any man criticising any kind of feminism and just... wow. Have we forgotten that intersectionality exists? Or that white feminism ignores any woman who isn't white? Yikes.

If you can find a way to get hold of John Oliver’s savaging of Barri Weiss, do so. It’s almost perfect. He explodes her self importance and the utter disingenuous 💩 that is the “heterodox” movement. He misses her slavish work for rw donors on pandemic misinfo. youtube.com/shorts/cicEe...

Bonus note: it was just pointed out to me that creating a public holiday to mark treaty, would additionally fuck over the LNP who have promised to tear up the treaty Come on Allan you have the chance to do the funniest thing … #auspol #treaty www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

And on that note, just like in NZ we have a public holiday for Waitangi Day to mark this beautiful coming together of two distinct peoples to build a future together — HEY JACINTA ALLAN GIVE US A DAY OFF TO CELEBRATE THE FOUNDING OF THE NEW, LEGITIMATE VICTORIA UNDER TREATY!! #auspol #treaty #nzpol

“Australia’s privatisation swindle promised efficiency, yet it left ordinary Australians paying more for poorer services. Over the past three decades, essential systems, from energy to aged care, have been carved up and sold to corporations.” socialjusticeaustralia.com.au/the-privatis...

BUSTED: coal giant Adani dodged $400m in dues by fudging coal prices! Billionaire Gautam Adani (wanted for fraud in the US) can’t get away with pushing up bills and giving nothing back. Every tax dollar rich coal corps don’t pay is one stolen from schools & hospitals who need it.

Labor don't care about the unemployed, they actively hate them, just like the LNP, which is why they love this system and don't want to get rid of it, (even if it is unlawful). No one has been held to account for robodebt nearly 10 years after the extortion scheme started, that says it all about ALP

"And then she called me crying that I withheld my ginormous penis and word got out & all the ladies in town lined up outside my home shouting 'bring out the penis!' I can't even go to the animal shelter I volunteer at anymore as women chase me down the street screaming 'pump me, bro.'"

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you are unemployed or "underemployed" on Jobseeker and want a better chance at a "service provider" who might be less cruel, apply for DSP and they should put you with a DES regardless of the success of your claim. #auspol #FinancialAbuse #centrelink

the NSW Supreme Court has ruled Minns’ anti-protest “places of worship” law to be unconstitutional. Congratulations to the Palestine Action Group for all the work that went in to successfully bringing this case #GadiGaza www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents. This anonymous denial of due process is deadly. 1/2

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense. www.newsweek.com/jb-pritzker-...

Yes your taxes should support disabled people. They should support homeless people. They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly. This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

WTAF is wrong with the @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social government? This is just a bridge way too far. We have excellent brains, analysts, policy designers right here in Australia. Why the #Tesla global chair? The conflict of interests alone? No. No. No. #innovation #research #auspol

#auspol Its silent, out of sight slaughter.

The Pentagon will revoke the press passes of virtually every single major news outlet because they refused to sign a pledge that violates the freedom of press. Dictatorships know how important it is to control the press.

"Welfare compliance," what a disgusting thing to want to enforce. We should have tax compliance for all the greedy people and corporations who pay to commit tax evasion instead. #auspol

The biggest problem with the ALP right now is it is led by someone who irrationally hates the Greens. He doesn't really like to "fight Tories"; he loves to fight the party that reveals his actual lack of "left-wing" positions. Someone needs to tell him to get over his uni politics crap.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Gotta say @albomp.bsky.social sure does love capitulating to Tories.

Because they do not care about workers, only that there is a workforce to exploit.

"If someone has a payment suspension & they want to challenge it & they believe it's either unfair or unlawful, do you hold all the information that you need in the system?" DEWR: "In some cases the notes aren't detailed enough for us to make a full assessment" extraordinary misadministration

Dear @albomp.bsky.social, On your watch, a record 14.7% of Australians are living in poverty. People working full-time can’t afford rent. Your carrot-n-stick approach to the unemployed is all stick and no carrot. No one has been prosecuted for Robodebt. Santos still pay $0 tax. On your watch, mate.

Though I'm a Musk biographer, I can't make the following claim with certainty—only contend that it's informed speculation. I don't think Musk thinks *we're* in a simulation. I think Musk thinks *he's* in a simulation. Take a moment to process what that means about the value of human life to Musk.

The NDIA treats supporting documentation from health professionals such as GPs and specialists and long-time support workers as untrustworthy compared to an OT report. But now we're seeing even OT reports disregarded. Because NDIA assessors are apparently omniscient. #auspol #disability #ndis

Yet another problem with the idea of a 1-3 hour 'assessment' in an NDIS participant's home is that it doesn't acknowledge the existence of dynamic disabilities i.e. disabilities where one can have (relatively) "good days" (or hours) and "bad days" and "nonfunctional days". #auspol #ndis #disability

We really hit on something with the 12 year old theory of governance because that’s really the entire political project. It’s being 12 years old and not even normal 12 year olds but real pieces of shit 12 year olds

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Sarah Hanson-Young has blasted the media watchdog ACMA after it’s revealed they waited 24hrs for Optus to get back to them to advise the outage was a lot worse, & that people had died “You waited til the CEO called to tell you people had died! You are the watchdog!”🔥 #Estimates

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns
