For all the students at the social work uni intensive who told me they now use AI at work to write up case reports: NDIS participant’s bid for more support failed in part because two physiotherapists used AI to write letters used to back her claim to top up her package www.afr.com/politics/bid...

Most unfair. IMO Brereton hasn't bungled anything. He's only tried to do exactly what he was hired to do - to make it all disappear from public view. #auspol nacc.gov.au

A master of art has left the world, one whose talents helped shape a vision of pop culture. portraiture and brand identity for generations. RIP, Mr. Struzan. Your sense of composition remains unparelleled.

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

3 failed M&As with #Santos suggest deep environmental or infrastructure issues - and likely huge hidden financial risks. If only someone from Abu Dhabi National Oil or Harbour Energy would leak what they found in due diligence… #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

I feel sure that every animal species that becomes extinct under our watch also takes a part of our humanity with it. Heartbreaking. Vale.

NSW ICAC was widely condemned by politicians & the media after they took just under 2yrs to conclude their investigation into Gladys Berejiklian’s corruption. Is anyone condemning the NACC who after well OVER 2yrs is still investigating Robodebt? Why not? #auspol

Why is the gas industry notorious for paying so little tax, despite making billions in revenue? Santos has made it 10 years in a row paying no tax! @grogsgamut.bsky.social @elinorjohnstonleek.bsky.social #auspol

AU. Modelling shows gas project emissions will cause hundreds of heat-related deaths. Woodside stated that emissions from the Scarborough project are "negligible" in a global context. New research shows AU can no longer use that as a get-out-of-jail-free card. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

With people like Linda Reynolds elected to represent constituents, who needs an opposition? Even in government they put making everyone miserable right up there at the top of the to-do list. You have no shame, Linda Reynolds. No respect and, I hope, no success in this. #auspol

What issue could be more “in the public interest” than the Robodebt scheme. The biggest failure of public policy ever known. More than 400,000 people got debt notices and the class action awarded victims nearly $500 million tax payer funds. Deputy Commissioner Kylie Kilgour is having a lend of us.

NAAC defends the decision not to hold robodebt public hearings. Pathetic www.canberratimes.com.au/story/908769...

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10... Ian Verrender: The solution? Siphon gas from domestic market. The end result domestic gas prices on Australia’s east coast have trebled, resulting surging electricity prices that have put Australian households and energy intensive businesses under extreme pressure.

We ready to become a republic yet, Australia?

No one will remember anything Linda Reynolds did in politics, but we will remember this forever. What a piece of sh#t.

I can’t believe how much airtime our so called ABC has covered Israel today … and as I am writing this shameless Bibi (who before he opened his mouth was looking incredibly ashamed) upon opening his mouth has gone on & on & on with rhetoric that is even sending Donny to sleep 😴

So proud of you, @clareheathmcivor.bsky.social 🏆🏆 All courage. These churches are abusive cults. We must help end the protections that allow children & adults to be abused in secret for years. We must also block their attempt to win seats/gov. #Springst #Auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Someone needs to post that little clip just aired on Media Watch of 2019 Anthony Albanese pointing out all the problems concerning FOI that 2025 Anthony Albanese is intent on making worse Massive hypocrite #auspol

I'm genuinely irked by the AUS Labor Govt MPs posting cringeworthy TikToks boasting about the Albanese Labor Govt. They're giving such strong ScoMo empty announcement vibes. Plus they're noticeably silent on all the things Labor ISN'T doing. Ugh. 😔 #auspol

Leo Puglisi from @6newsau.bsky.social gave evidence to the parliamentary inquiry on the social media age ban - I asked him about the real impacts on young people. This isn't about protection, it's about control. You can't lock kids out of news and social connection and call it safety.

The environment's had a real look in since Murray WattTF and Mike Kaiser teamed up.

It's the topic everyone in Canberra is talking about and now thanks to ChaserBet, you can win big on this bizarre story!

“I am deeply humbled to return the stewardship of Australia to its original owners, the Sports Betting industry.”

You've got Australians out there who are in a lot of pain, you've got young Australians who are being advertised [to] to the point that they think gambling is just a normal part of watching sport, surely we can do better than that as a country Pocock outstrips Albanese has a leader in every sense.

Every time the government accepts money from the gambling industry, it increases its debts to companies whose business models are based on preying on young and vulnerable people, and doing them harm. The Albanese government does this again and again. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Yes, please. Nail, say hello to coffin. 😂 #auspol

It's my birthday in a few weeks and what I really want is journos like Amy Remeikis, Dave Milner, Michael West, the Crikey team, and other Independent media allowed into #auspol pressers to ask the questions I want answered. Could someone organise that for me? Yeah, that'd be great, thanks.

Convenient for all, sponsors/lobbyists get to mix with MPs....all for the love of sport!

This is not just the appearance of conflict of interest, it is corruption of democracy pure and simple. Gee, if only those First Nations people had thought of having a Voice to Parliament via a “Sports Club”.

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽 Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club. That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group. Just utterly unbelievable.

What is wild about this story is that Deloitte has been allowed to keep 80% of the massive fees it charged for using ChatGPT to produce rubbish and passing it off as actual work. (One might add, why was a consulting firm purporting to give legal advice anyway, hmmm?)

Ludicrous. The NACC is supposed to be independent but Brereton keeps working for the ADF while overseeing potential corruption investigations about it? The Kathryn Campbell conflict wasn't enough to demonstrate how costly and damaging this is? That mistake already cost the NACC $1.2m to rectify.

Oh boy the Labor Party demonstrating they truly have a thin skin. I would not say they are bending the knee to the gambling industry rather they’re on their hands and knees adorned with a collar and leash. #auspol Peta Murphy would be rolling in her grave 😢 at the Alabanese governments timidity

The gambling industry is predatory and insidious. I quit the Parliamentary Sports Club a few weeks ago, when I discovered it had registered as a lobbyist group and was sponsored by the gambling peak body. The industry will do anything to wield influence on pollies, and hates being called out.

“Sportsbet was invited to a Labor party fundraising dinner with an Albanese government minister earlier this week, despite bipartisan calls for the party to ignore lobbying from the wagering industry and introduce tougher regulation” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
