Please #share everywhere: Dear US, UK & Aussie soldiers, the US-led war on Iran is illegal. You have the right to refuse illegal orders. You can also become conscientious objectors & keep your benefits. For more info & support, check out Center on Conscience and War, etc. centeronconscience.org

Australia needs to shut US bases, scrap AUKUS, remove all Australian personnel from the US military and finally have an independent foreign and defence policy.

The Labor government still refuses to say why they have sent a secret SAS deployment to Middle East - these are the same troops Australia sent to the US forever wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - funny how the PM forgot about this in his address. 7news.com.au/news/austral...

Datacentres are a menace. Don’t approve them. We can cope without AI generated slop. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Poor mental health is strongly linked to poverty. Like when you can’t pay your bills and you’re working 3 jobs to afford food and shelter and not much more this isn’t going to help. So much of this could be fixed by Centerlink paying a liveable income

I think calling a program that is fully automated with no apparent clinical support “therapy” a stretch. Just another grift, costing $217 million. That money would be more beneficial for training more qualified professionals.

Ummm. Stressed, worried , feeling overwhelmed? Well the PM is supporting the horror Trump & Netanyahu have unleashed so guess it’s not going to cope with how many genuinely are struggling right now.

And it also, very conveniently for them, promotes the belief that poor mental health is a YOU problem which they had no hand in creating.

"designed for mild and early-stage mental health challenges". OK, that's good. But where's the support for those really struggling? If you click on their "I need help now" button you're directed to 000 or the volunteer-run Lifeline. Both crucial but underfunded services.

A boatload of cocaine was allowed into Australia all because Border Force was scared crew on the boat might claim asylum - it shows how seeking to brutalise refugees leads to perverse and often less safe outcomes

Take cover! It’s going to be a mess.

Win for transparency. A joint motion between the Greens and David Pocock requested the national auditor to continue scrutinising the Department of Defence! The Albanese Government's addicted to secrecy and tried to stop the audit office from running its annual reports on Defence, but we pushed back

What a waste of time. This is the perfect opportunity to go hard on some electrification/EV policy stuff, like turning all buses electric, incentives for trucking industry to electrify, or whatever but instead we get "keep calm and carry on" lol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Wow, ON candidates are truly unpleasant people and the party has terrible vetting processes/doesn’t care? Who knew! (If their polling remains high, we are gonna need much more reporting like this and before voting begins)

really the dumbest antichrist we could get.

I’m having trouble working out which is the evil one. So many choices.

All my adult life we’ve been treated to an unceasing chorus that ‘the markets’ are a source of price information in the aggregate, which provides an objective signal based on ground realities, but what we can all see w/r/t this war is ‘the markets’ are in fact dumb as shit mug punters

"We never said regime change" 🤔

Just caught up with Albo's gambling ad restrictions - what a cop out. Just f**king ban them! Exactly the same as tobacco advertising, just harms the community. Pathetic.

Yes, as should every single previous government, yet None have regardless of party. We pay four times the price of fuel USA does. Access charges for Electricity & Gas are as out of control as other charges. Supermarket price fixing has gone on for decades #auspol

Well done and keep siding with the workers and the ACTU...they're grounded in the reality unlike the LNP and lazy Labor

The Greens have a bill before Parliament to make price gouging illegal, economy wide.  Labor needs to choose people over rich corporations and the 1%, and back the Greens bill to stop price gouging off the back of a war and cost of living crisis.

The Greens back the ACTU call for the ban on supermarket price gouging to start early. People can’t wait for July 1 while they’re getting ripped off right now. The Gov must make price gouging illegal economy-wide - not just at supermarkets - but on fuel, power bills, all of it.

Latest Dollars & Sense pod is up - talking gas, petrol and me not getting any laughs at a gas conference australiainstitute.org.au/post/its-tim...

Told you so, dunderheads! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Remember when Rudd gave everyone $950 and we briefly forgave him for being a massive plonker? If he quietly dropped aukus, Albanese could gift 15 million households a free EV and we could ditch fuel for good

The worst possible 'Leader' for times like these. He is more concerned about how things play out politically than actual solutions. We have a process but it starts with the GG declaring an emergency.

Albanese has lost touch with reality if he thinks a ‘national address’ will provide reassurance to anyone other than his most rusty of rusted-on supporters. One has to question whether he is up to the job and has any idea of what he should do other than repeat what predecessors have done before.

Still murder.

they’ve targeted and killed hundreds of journalists - last week even! absolute bullshit and lies as always

Wtf....this level of bullshit... genocide, war crimes, pedophiles....this isnt a debate on j- walking.... they have committed the worse crimes a human can do.

The Israeli ambassador Hillel Newman gave a speech at the National Press Club on Tuesday and made some wild claims about the killing of journalists which we can’t quite let go to the keeper.

And to take his bases with him, shove AUKUS where only a proctologist can read it, and THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Morning. ☕️

It's time for the government to give Australians a fair return for their resources. A 25% tax on gas exports could raise enough to completely cover the cost of FREE university and TAFE! @sophiescamps.bsky.social #auspol

It's becoming clearer - day by day - which political party has ethics and morals in Australia. #AusVotes2028 #auspol

Some tips from Mad As Hell if you need petrol in regional Australia, 2019. (I’m the idiot on the bike)

A few graphs to illustrate how much Australia can readily reduce petrol & diesel consumption via electrification. First up, road transport dominates liquid fuel consumption, most of this can be readily electrified. /1

Can you imagine if Albanese came on TV tonight and announced closing of all US bases in Australia, cancelling AUKUS and closing airspace to US military? Perhaps in a parallel universe. #Auspol

Every week the federal government delays a 25% gas export tax costs the Australian public around $350 million in revenue. That's $350 million a week that could have gone to funding essential services! @davidpocock.bsky.social #auspol

The Greens confirm they’ll be voting against the “racist, rubbish piece of legislation” bought on by the LNP who seek to criminalise anyone who may dare assist these Australian women and children in Syria. Shoebridge “it is racist, & it is rubbish. Don’t defend it”🔥 #auspol

Labor’s new National platform looks to be a surrender of principle and decency to expediency and power - loving the US and AUKUS, planning for war against China with Trump, and unfairly jailing people they don’t like - it would have made Menzies blush and Whitlam revolt.

That not one member of the NPC board has resigned is pretty damning.

Old mate standing in front of a mobile billboard gets a few things off his chest 👇

Nope. His response was wrong. Regardless of time zones. He could have said he wanted to talk to DJT before making comments supporting the strikes. He could have just supported the Iranian people without potentially perpetuating nuclear capacity lies. So may other options. Not so difficult.

He was the first world leader to offer Australia's support for the war. He could have held back. But he loved being the first sycophant. That's why I am angry.
