"We have to remember that police officers are human. The sanctions I'm sure will be appropriate and the outcome is appropriate." Those police should be charged with assault. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Let's all remember how Trump Towers get financed at this point. craigunger.substack.com/p/31-georgia...

For much of his first term, Peter Malinauskas avoided controversy by privileging meticulously managed photo-ops over policy ambition. But two issues have recently broken through his sunny social feeds.

What a crook. “Dr Yap & Dr Kathurusinghe agreed the reason doctors got away with poor practices in medicine was bc colleagues feared reprisal in a world where doctors were dependent on referrals. "Badmouthing colleagues is generally not viewed very favourably," www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

No surprises therein. Those in charge know what it does, but ideologically-fuelled hatred of poor people plus the opportunity to allow well-connected wealthy to grift off the public purse means that privatised ‘employment services’ will be around as long as the two major parties exist as a duopoly.

What a fantastic story. 🐝 Chimay in Belgium does more than produce the world's best beer! 🍺 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

MSM is very stumm 🤐 about the fact that Jillian Segals Husband has donated $50.000 to Advance . This needs to be circulated more . Thank you Sarah 🙏🙏

"This is not a case of Britain’s accountability structures working well. Rather it’s a reflection of just how much Trump has exploded norms in the US and just how ingrained Epstein was with the US establishment and elites." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One of those soft friendly looking plants, that will slice you up and leave you to bleed out on forest floor. OK maybe thats a little drastic, but dont underestimate this native sleeper vine. Worth remembering it in NSW/QLD rainforest. #Caesalpinia

This is incredibly distressing. I honestly would not blame women for rejecting males altogether. I’m ashamed reading it. If you’re a boy with a brain, call this misogynistic crap out. Don’t participate. Stand out.

The admin of the Balmoral community noticeboard on FB dealing well with ABC’s investigation of two footballers found guilty of rape. 😒

The suggestion that welcoming refugees is worse than the horrors of the Nazi regime is a textbook example of Holocaust minimisation. Political leaders cannot claim to oppose antisemitism while remaining silent in the face of far-right extremism.

The Jewish Council of Australia condemns Benjamin Harnwell's appalling comment at the Advance conference and call on our leaders and the Antisemitism Envoy to speak out in condemnation.

If Albanese won’t stand up to One Nation what is the point of him? Sincerely what is the fucking point of this man?

Pray tell what you're doing about the Australian members of the genocidal IOF returning from Israel, directly linked to the slaughter of civilian women and children and babies (and men) in Palestine, @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social. We're waiting. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne.... COULD ???? Seriously !!!! Absolutely this man would be denied a visa by any Minster seriously concerned about “Social Cohesion”

No I don’t believe him. Especially the losing money part. Why is he doing it if he’s losing money? Because he has a deep emotional attachment to 9 “investment” properties? Landlords think we are stupid. Investors think everyone is as greedy as they are. Put the two together…….

please..

Please just shoot me and get it over with. #auspol

If Albo is right that children are obliged to lie in the bed that their mother made, why is he sleeping at the Lodge and not a public housing flat, while the children of the "ISIS brides" must remain in a refugee camp in Syria? Seems a little inconsistent, logically, just saying.

Someone tried to kill Donald Trump again, and it was a Trump supporter again. Life goes on.

This testimony is pretty funny. Funny in an inaccurate and scarily violent way. #NSWpolice

Last year, for the first time, alcohol and gambling companies, and their lobby groups, donated more than $5m to the major parties. Looks like they are getting a reasonable return on their investment.

“While there is uncertainty about what exactly is driving inflation, today’s [wage price index] shows that it is not wages,” writes Matt Grudnoff, Senior Economist at The Australia Institute. Read the full piece on The Point: https://theaus.in/3OwbE7N

Pretty unbelievable that over three seasons and 18 episodes of Creative Types, Virginia Trioli will have interviewed 13 men and 5 women.

well this isn't a red flag I don't know what is...

Greg 'gotta bury the body' Malham also practised for years at Epworth. To me, the obvious next question is- how many other surgeons at Epworth are 'open secrets' to their colleagues? 🤔 #OperateWithRespect #TheStandardWeWalkPast

"President Trump's idea to send a US hospital ship here to Greenland has been duly noted. But we have a public health system where care is free for citizens," he said. "This is not the case in the United States, where going to the doctor costs money."

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

@walkerbragman.bsky.social does 👌reporting on the Atlas Network space. Here he points at the EPPC, another of the big US tanks putting God into the free market, shaping US gov war on trans existence. (Trump’s posse threatening all age medical support now.) www.exposedbycmd.org/2026/02/10/h...

Labor running an anti transparency government just like no one voted for #auspol

My deepest sympathy goes to the brave women who have not received that care. The Epworth Hospital and AHPRA must be held to account for their apparent failure to keep these women safe.

Patients place their trust in our health professionals. They deserve best practice care and effective, conscientious oversight by hospitals, colleges, and the healthcare regulator, AHPRA.

These revelations about an Epworth Hospital surgeon’s alleged malpractice against many women with chronic pelvic pain, over a long period of time, suggest a catastrophic failure of our health system.

If you’ve missed the recent work from the indispensable Dr @jeremywalker.bsky.social on Atlas Network and coordinated climate disinformation, this is your link to his submission to the senate hearing and his testimony.
