Yikes. The IDF is like the Wehrmacht in Poland. War crimes and depravity.

And there it is, the LNP handing Farrer to a complete fuckwit who fabricated his academic qualifications, shared porn on social media, and likened Julia Gillard to an unproductive old cow. The LNP are morally bankrupt and continue to demonstrate a complete lack of political acumen. #auspol.

Populism isn’t being driven by rising inequality. It’s being driven by stagnant wages and falling living standards, Michael Keating writes. #auspol #Economy #Inequality #Wages #Politics

The new head of the Australian military is taking his first international trip to the US as part of the $375 billion AUKUS scam. While there, he will be the keynote speaker at a $ 5,000-a-head corporate event run by former Minister for Defence Industry Christopher Pyne. The system is rigged.

You mean the superannuation tax breaks? No? You mean the CGT discount? No? You mean the fossil fuel subsidies? No? You mean the free gas for multinationals? No? You mean the failure of the PRRT? No? You mean the tax dodging trusts? No? You mean the lack of a wealth tax? No? No you mean the NDIS FFS

NDIS is now run by Liberal voting conservatives, enjoying long lunches before early mid-afternoon drinks. Charging the government the most they can, to assist as few as they can.. #UseTheGovernmentAsABank #AusPol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...?

‘Independent’ group Energy for Australians that ran anti-Labor ads received more than $1m from coal lobby

Hi, I ask you to condemn rape, "rape academies." Male Dems on #Bluesky: What's "rape academy?" This is up to you to speak out against, men. You're late. www.cnn.com/interactive/...

Because Australia gives so much of our gas away for free, Japan gets it so cheap that it makes a profit selling it on to other countries! Add your name to the call to impose royalties on all gas exported from Australia ✍️ https://nb.australiainstitute.org.au/collect_gas_royalties

Big Tech wrote the EU law that hides their data centres' environmental impact. The EU wants to triple its data centre capacity in the next five years. While the full scale of their energy and water footprint is hidden from the public. Our new @investigate-europe.eu investigation reveals why.

"The world’s top 100 oil and gas companies banked more than $30m every hour in unearned profit in the first month of the US-Israeli war in Iran" That cash comes from all of us locked into reliance on dirty fossil fuels despite none of us asking for it www.theguardian.com/environment/...

EXCLUSIVE: A data investigation reveals what appears to be a sustained, coordinated media offensive by The Australian targeting Randa Abdel-Fattah. The paper has written more articles on her than Nine papers, Guardian, ACM papers & ABCNews online COMBINED www.ettemedia.com/exclusive-me...

BONUS EPISODE: We investigated The Australian’s years-long smear campaign targeting Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. Antoinette Lattouf and data analyst Dr Richard Bean crunched the numbers, and what we found points to a relentless, wide-ranging and coordinated media offensive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYgk...

NSW's fascistic anti-protest laws, enacted after Bondi and to allow Isaac Herzog, a war criminal, to tour without opposition, have been defeated in court today. The Appeals court found the laws "impermissibly burden" implied constitutional rights. From the river to the sea.

Just remember this next time you see the AFR run a scare article about changes to how we tax gas or capital gains. Don't believe their bullshit; don't let friends of relatives believe it either.

Rip snorter of a column by Allan Behm: "Budgetary make-believe": Marles lifts defence spending, mistaking spending targets for strategy thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

Last year the AFR was running scare campaign articles seemingly every week on how increasing the tax on super balances over $3m was going to destroy aspiration. Now they tell us - guess what you won't have $2m super even if you earn $300,000 a year!

The High Court’s decision to strike down Victoria’s campaign funding laws is a win for democracy & a reminder that political finance reform must strengthen fairness, transparency & integrity. It also sends a message nationally as federal electoral reform laws are being challenged in the High Court.

Pretty good headline for The Age's letters to the editor

"Take the government’s handouts to fossil fuel industries... the Albanese government controls most of these concessions. If Labor is looking for solutions that balance the budget, it would do well to start there," say Zali Steggall and Monique Ryan. Read more: https://theaus.in/4thdqJk

No one told me 2026 would be the year the Pope started sounding like The Godfather 😂 You can take the good Catholic boy out of Chicago, but you can’t take Chicago out of this pope.

"Peace is not something we must invent: it is something we must embrace by accepting our neighbour as a brother and as our sister," the Pope said.

The High Court has confirmed what Australia Institute research has shown for years: Victoria’s election spending and donation rules are undemocratic, and key provisions are unconstitutional. Question now is how Victorian Parliament responds.

When money/profit are the only performance parameters that matter, we don't get pro human outcomes. It's not that $ don't matter, its that other things also matter quite a lot, in balanced consideration.

Proof that there is some humanity in America. #Palestine

The Murdoch Press has singled out the Australia Institute in a direct attack to discredit The Australia Institute & its supporters – a familiar gas lobby tactic when it can’t dispute the facts. 🛑ℹ️ Facts like this: a 25% gas export tax could fund free university or free childcare nationwide.

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

Netanyahu and Israel are breaking international law and committing war crimes every single day. They must be held to account.

Sydney MP Ed Husic said he had many MPs and party members talking to him about gas taxes, and there was “white-hot anger” among voters due to a perception exporters were not paying enough. Read more about our case for a 25% gas export tax: https://theaus.in/4tODBak

It's changing Australia and not for good reasons r good results Same for the university sector. When you make money/profit your sole governing performance parameter i t doesn't refect the needs or realities of a pro human world.

70 nations unite to issue a statement that states they have deep concern over Israel's agression in Lebanon and the safety of the peacekeepers. This may be a war crime. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Km0F...

THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.

If evangelicals think Pope Leo is too”woke” just wait until they hear about this fellow called Jesus.

Yesterday Israel bombed an ambulance in Lebanon, killing paramedic Hassan Badawi Over the last two & a half years Israel systematically targeted healthcare workers in Gaza, murdering hundreds, and the failure of the world to take action means Israel is free to do it again.

Just in case you're wondering why the gas industry hates the idea of a 25% gas export tax and wants to keep the PRRT

🌊⚡️ Big milestone for UK renewables: The world’s largest offshore wind farm, Hornsea 3, has officially made landfall in Norfolk. Once complete, it’ll generate enough clean electricity to power 3.3 million homes. A huge step toward cutting costs and reducing reliance on gas 🏘️💡

The idea that the President of the United States could publish an image of himself as the Messiah and no news outlet covers it is the biggest indictment of the American free press.

France is switching from Microsoft to Linux "We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny. We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, evolution, and risks we do not control."

This. Is so true. Can humans...for once, learn something intergenerationally

This morning on 2SM I discussed fuel price gouging and the deceit engaged in by the Govt, telling everyone the ACCC was onto it. Price gouging is not illegal in Australia - there’s nothing the ACCC can do unless collusion is happening. #auspol

Younger Hungarians saved their country from the influence of older, outdated voters who are easily swayed. Similarly, younger voters in the United States are poised to save us from the influence of the baby boomer generation, and I eagerly anticipate this change. www.theguardian.com/world/video/...

Is Australia’s democracy at risk of US-style polarization? 🇦🇺 To stay on track, we need urgent reforms: truth in political ads, donation caps, and better media diversity. Let's protect our system and strengthen our institutions before it's too late. 🗳️✨ #AusPol theconversation.com/to-stop-aust...

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution
