Pretty clear we need an inquiry from this. Not just about passive approach to child health (at best), but questions of waste cycle, and indifference to product safety in government standards in favour of commercial interests. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A guy makes ONE tiny mistake (has a years-long friendship with the world's worst sex trafficker; brags about sexually harassing colleagues; is racist; says women are stupid) and his whole LIFE is blown up (does slightly fewer speaking engagements; keeps teaching at #1 university)??!?!?!?!?!

The Democratic Party would be a lot better if it had embraced Zohran Mamdani the way it's embracing Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Child sexual abusers are well known for grooming people beyond the victim’s family, but too many with relative influence are willing to knowingly engage. The casual indifference to child safety empowers abusers. It’s not a lapse of judgement; it’s collusion. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

How much does it cost the EPA to investigate a licence condition breach, and issue a warning notice? More than $4040 is my thinking. #politas

Robbing refugees of their jewellery and other belongings is obviously the way to go. #ukpolitics

Turning asylum into a protection racket. MAGA has taken over the @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Y’all gotta realise that Nazis (neo or otherwise) cannot protest anything. Their entire ethos rejects the notion of protest, public demonstration or anything remotely resembling widespread exercise of freedom of speech. It is philosophically impossible to protest. Nazis hold hate rallies. #auspol

Utterly incoherent tosh from the #ukpolitics Home Secretary, decrying a situation of her own Government’s making. Worse still, inadvertently highlights limitations of social housing policy - work to improve that rather than punishing refugees. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

If you want an idea of how media narratives can directly undermine efforts to combat abuse, look no further than this news story. Trivial already, compared to the increasing allegations that POTUS is a prolific child sexual abuser, this story is utterly irrelevant. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Abusers & their apologists are always an active barrier to justice & safety for victims. Trauma can be weaponised and frequently is. If a victim lies about their abuse, it will be to deny the abuse occurred when in fact it did.

Hahaha I know we should be taking these fascist clowns seriously, even if we don’t live in the same country, but what the hell is this?

Hate to be picky, but what are the main political parties either side of if they are both on the same side? #auspol

Hey, aren’t we due to get these in Tasmania? #politas

$79 million over 34 years averages about $2.3 million a year. In 2023 alone, McDonalds made $253 million profit after tax. According to the National Obesity Strategy, obesity cost Australia $11.8 billion in 2018. McHappy Day can fuck off. #politas #auspol pulsetasmania.com.au/news/tasmani...

It’S sImPlE rEaLlY. #auspol

Not sure how the law rolls in the US these days, but in #politas, where sexual abuse laws and consent are concerned, there is no difference. Also, coercion is a thing. Also also, gross.

Shut up Pinterest, you’re drunk. 🥴

If your favourite anything is on a list like this, they were never yours to begin with. Your entire reasoning was based on a facade. If you didn’t know, or (genuinely) misread warning signs, you might feel angry, guilty, shameful, but you are not bound to a falsehood.

I’ll admit, this headline is an imaginative take on powerful (mainly white I’m guessing) men using influence & money, while exploiting ingrained welfare failures in areas like housing & healthcare, to target children for sexual abuse & facing very few repercussions. Also, fuck you @nytimes.com

The beauty of this is that, depending on being cabinet in confidence or not, some of this guidance won’t be publicly accessible. So the public won’t know to what extent cabinet decisions are influenced by AI or not. #auspol

Similar nonsense in Australia. Be really good for #auspol journos to ask immediate follow-up questions to statements like this, such as: If we removed the X number of immigrants, how much would house prices fall? What would be the impact on the economy be of removing so many skilled workers?

History is cyclical. #ukpolitics

Who’d a thought it? #politas #auspol #taxtherich

Ironically in this case, there is an old saying about not handing someone a gun if you don’t know where they’re going to point it. #politas

‘And, barring some kind of constitutional rewrite, Trump never has to worry about standing for election again.’ Woah. There’s more than one way to read that. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Chris Minns is possibly the only person within 100km of Sydney that wasn’t told. #nswpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Adult time for adult crime, brought to you by a bunch of ignorant political dipshits who have no engagement with the realities of trauma, abuse or how many dangerous & violent adult criminals avoid detection, not just jail. #springst www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Editing Trump was such an incredibly stupid thing to do in the first place. The damage to the BBC when the far-right win the next general election could be irreparable. I refuse to stop being astounded by supposedly smart people misreading fascism. #ukpolitics www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Isn’t it fantastic how legally owned firearms make everyone safer? #auspol #politas www.bbc.com/news/article...

There were ample laws to prevent this or shut it down. The NSW Police just didn’t want to.

If your state police force allows a Nazi hate rally to go ahead, and withholds this from your State Premier and the Police Commissioner, THE LAST THING YOU DO IS GIVE THEM MORE FUCKING POWERS! FFS they filled out a fucking form. #nswpol #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

JFC the issue of billionaires is not about the opulence they live in. There is a limit to what a person can reasonably spend on themselves. He uses his money to promote hate and fascism. I don’t give a toss about what luxuries he might or might not spend his money on. www.bbc.com/news/article...

“… People who manufacture, deal and sell firearms unlawfully are generally doing so in an environment where those firearms will end up in the wrong hands,” he said. Most guns are legally manufactured though, yes? Use & production are different. #politas pulsetasmania.com.au/news/supreme...

I reckon the salmon industry is like that one drunken tosser at a pool party that just decides to urinate in the pool right in front of everyone, and thinks they are hilariously justified in doing so. #politas

Looking forward to Michelle Rowland endorsing a ‘whip ultra wealthy conservatives in a church’ protest (à la the money men in the Temple). #auspol

Did no one stop to think that maybe they should inform authorities when he was charged? How will he be safe for practice ever again? There are some serious deficiencies here. #politas pulsetasmania.com.au/news/hobart-...

If Ley feels compelled to side with the Nationals, the Liberals will cease to be the senior party of the Coalition, no matter their numerical superiority. Just like mainstream Republicans and MAGA in 2016. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is a fine testament to every politician who has used the word ‘innovative’ to describe this rancid industry. If even the Tasmanian government is calling you out you’ve got no where to go. #politas #auspol pulsetasmania.com.au/news/salmon-...

Great to see the Senate inquiry into youth justice and incarceration is back up and running. Was getting worried something had happened. Submissions open. #auspol www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

Probably worth remembering that the gambling industry effectively benefitted from this crime. This guy pays. His ex-partner pays. The State pays. The industry profits. #politas pulsetasmania.com.au/news/supreme...

When some commentators & politicians were saying ‘let’s wait and see’ when asked to praise Trump’s negotiated ceasefire…this. This is why. There is no ceasefire and the genocide continues. #freegaza 🇵🇸
