🚨The ALP's rigging of Victorian "donations" laws – in favour of it and Coalition –– deemed unconstitutional in explosive, unanimous High Court decision. Federally, the "anti-Independents" duopoly stitch-up is also before the courts. Massive ramifications... theklaxon.com.au/labor-party-...

Today marks 35 years since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody made 339 recommendations to address systemic racism and over-incarceration of First Nations people. Since then, more than 630 First Nations people have died in custody, including 12 so far in 2026.

🚨Australia's MAGA movement –– run by a handful of billionaires –– is preparing to launch an attack ad over surging fuel prices....While failing to mention the cause is MAGA US President Donald Trump's invasion of Iran. Funded by... guess who? theklaxon.com.au/7j6m

Great to see The Klaxon's investigative series on climate disinformation recognised by the Local & Independent News Association (LINA): “Journalism like this helps protect the integrity of Australian democracy"

Snap protest in Melbourne/Naarm in solidarity with Lebanon as the Zionist entity attempts to annex more of other peoples' land in West Asia. Free all of us from this malignancy.

Long COVID is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. New research from Karolinska Institutet shows people with Long COVID have a higher risk of heart issues like arrhythmias and coronary disease—even if they weren’t hospitalised during their initial infection.

Was reluctant to watch Albo's Press Club speech after last night's patronising twaddle, but I did anyway and actually it wasn't that bad. Still small-target stuff, but a level above last night's effort. Indicative of what he thinks of MSM vs 'ordinary' Australians? 🤔😏 #auspol

Albo about to address the nation

albo yelling that there is NO fire in a crowded theatre, chuckling to himself at his ingenuity

A national address needs a national leader and a clear set of actions, this one had Albanese and a series of empty phrases workshopped through focus groups. What an empty man he is and what a hollow government.

Everything we’ve come to expect from Albanese - builds up expectation and then nothing #fizza #auspol

>10,000 STEM PhDs have left federal service over the past year (including 30% of the federal colleagues with whom I’ve worked closely). Those still left are holding federal science together with duct tape. What an extraordinary act of sabotage against the American people.

Now let's see if Albo can find a way to get booed at a Mormon church. He's collecting the whole set.

Do not use 1800 RESPECT. FOI reveals that “once a week, every week”, 1800 RESPECT is being subpoenaed, handing over confidential client notes and audio recordings of victim counselling sessions, to accused rapists and their legal teams. www.news.com.au/lifestyle/re...

Disappointed I was the only MP to vote against 2nd reading of Govt-Oppn bill that will give the Minister power to stop entire classes of temp visa holders arriving in Aus. A discriminatory policy letting the Govt decide which imperilled ppl are worth saving. #auspol #politas

Excellent episode of The Sunday Shot today @davemilner.bsky.social 😊 The interview with Kon K from @asrc1.bsky.social is a balm for the spirit in these ridiculously fraught times! youtu.be/WmvagFHNLpA?...

Very sad to read of this 23-year-old with severe ME, ill since age 4. Authorities are trying to claim that improvement/recovery is possible with the right attitude! ☹️ An example of the problem biopsychosocial models for ME/CFS cause. virology.ws/2026/03/13/t... #MEcfs #PwME #CFS #SevereME

The massive rise in Islamophobia, consciously fuelled by large sections of the media, is a national disgrace. I'd love to hear the PM and LOTO speak out about this and the dangers of white supremacy but ....crickets

Increasingly clear that the future of the species hinges on the American/Israeli empire collapsing before the climate does

You can tell how much Labor and the Coalition care about the poor Iranians by the way they hastily built a series of offshore concentration camps to imprison Iranian refugees *forever* when they tried to escape the regime.

Stop pretending to be dumb: the Iran War is about Greater Israel, not “liberation” theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Be warned, @davemilbo.bsky.social is an equal opportunity curser, equally adept with swearwords from 4 to 7 letters! He's also adept at excoriating the hypocrisy & BS currently surrounding the "liberation of Iran" war. Don't forget #SundayShot #auspol theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

'Our Prime Minister is making us all complicit, and he’s banking on you being too stupid to notice, or too detached and stressed trying to afford things that make you feel good to give a shit about the next round of global imperial slaughter.'

Australians are so poorly served by our media, bamboozled into dumbfuckery. Please, in your day to day lives, help people understand what's really happening. Bloodthirsty pro-war propaganda, both subtle (ABC) and frothy,l (everyone else) is going to drown out truthful reporting.

Universally, I think we hold "somewhat leftish" to an unfathomably higher standard than Neo-Nazis and the far right. We expect a lot of the former, and absolutely nothing from the latter.

How very amusing that a car news account followed me. I don't even drive 😂 #WTF

Australia is built on immigration. The economy *still* relies heavily on immigration. New migrants make it better, stronger. Building new housing and infrastructure would help everyone. Every major political party: We will cut immigration. Mainstream media: But can you be as racist as Pauline?

Here's what'll happen. Labor will get its lowest ever primary vote at the next election. "Centrist" rusted-ons will blame lefties, instead of themselves, because liberalism is political narcissism drenched in sanctimony, and shit will just keep getting worse.

Does anyone following #auspol know whether the ABC SBS is doing anything to mark the 50th anniversary of the Dismissal? Maybe I've missed the promos or I'm too early, but 11/11 is not far away and I've heard diddly squat 🤔

On Australia's contributions this week.

Sidenote: Did you know that the NACC employs over 200 people, spends over $50m per year, has 5 offices, and in over two years of operations hasn't landed a single major corruption finding?

I interviewed historian @emmashortis.bsky.social on the particulars of American fascism, comparisons with Nazism, the global crisis of democracy, and Australia's options. None of this is particularly cheery stuff, but you might find some clarity in it. youtu.be/MM6cXjTBJ0U?...

Again - I went to a Gold Coast public school while suffering from alopecia. Try as you might, none of you will ever be as casually devastating as 15-year-old mean girls. I don’t back down from anything I’ve written or said and your fauxrage and abuse just proves my points 😘

Posting a criticism of Charlie Kirk - much less noting something outrageous he himself said - is not “celebrating” his murder. Nor is it condoning his murder. It is simply saying that his political career and legacy are not something to be celebrated. And that is not the same thing at all.

Watching the redoubtable @maddow.msnbc.com on delay here in Australia. Thank you Rachel for your rigorous analysis of the sh$$show unfolding in America - and thank you for not mentioning CK, whom most media is making a martyr despite his rabid racism, sexism & homophobia!

That criticism of a proudly white supremacist has been so condemned over the past few days really does not do much for those arguing we are not a racist society

It’ll be fascinating which if any major news outlets pick this story up, or follow the threads to the other cases that have rocked Australian cultural institutions recently.
