What is it, this crazy Zionist takeover of Australia? Did their god promise them Australia as a Promised Land? What the fuck is going on in Australia? Is everyone insane, or what? #auspol

hot air..

Tony Abbott’s just been at (another) conference in Budapest networking with the people planning to implement these goals. He’s a mentor to both Andrew Hastie and Jacinta Price: bsky.app/profile/lucy...

This makes me furious. Francesca "the better Albanese" targeted like this tells you so, so much about who is opposing her. How dare she uphold international law, huh?

NSW Greens MP Jenny Leong was removed from the lower house during QT on 25 March, as she tried to provide Chris Minns with 117 community member accounts of the NSW police brutality of 9/2/26 protest against the official visit of Israeli president Isaac Herzog on Gadigal land at Sydney Town Hall.

Also pls resist the urge to attribute the Schemes and Plots to Trump alone, when clearly he’s just riffing on the scripts handed to him Stephen Miller, Thiel, Lutnick etc

Interesting argument @financialtimes.com.

Nature and agriculture are often at odds. But an Australian study suggests farmers who plant more trees are better off – financially and environmentally.

Brilliant, heart-rending analysis from @kossamaras.bsky.social but made me wonder why the Greens don't seem to be seizing the moment. (Or am I wrong?) #AusPol

Two weeks ago, the Hungarian opposition was bracing for a false flag operation, an "emergency" that would allow Viktor Orban to turn the tide or even cancel an election he is losing. Now it appears to have arrived

The USA replaced Ayatollah Khamanei with Ayatollah Khamanei and the Taliban with the Taliban and lost in Vietnam. But at least those massive War and Oil profits never stopped flowing.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

The world is at risk of nuclear weapons being used. It is not Iran that will use them.

SMH economics editor Ross Gittins got a tooth infection that caused heart failure and nearly killed him. 44 days in the ICU. Weeks on the ward and in rehab Not a single word in Gittins’ article about the experience mentions that dental isn’t rebatable under Medicare

To those still complaining about Artemis 2: We spend 100× more on killing people for oil profits, but yeah, NASA’s the problem. 🤦🏽‍♀️ NASA: $25B Defense: $901B That’s 36 NASAs. Space programs have driven major advancements in science, medicine, and technology, real benefits for humanity.

This is what Trangie Cowal looks like now that a greedy cotton barron has blocked the natural watercourse. The worst part is that the NSW government has legalized it retrospectively by allowing Flood Plain Harvesting. 😠

Thank you Rex Patrick for shining a light on this disreputable episode and individual. Of course he should also be up on charges and barred from appearing in the media as some sort of expert as he does currently. #auspol #corruptbastard #abc

The famous David Crisafulli promise to resign was made on Ch9's election debate. On polling day eve he added a caveat. He says he was referring to per capita rates & not the overall number of victims. As premier he began releasing his own stats. #qldpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"What was once treated as aberrant is now managed as part of the landscape. That accommodation is the failure." #Fascism rising in #Australia - #auspol

When I was a kid at high school I remember reading about European fascism in the 1930s — how it began with populist promise, but rapidly pivoted to internal repression, military expansion and guns rather than butter

With the inevitable food price increases by supermarkets, and the resultant number of people who will struggle to feed their families, is it now time to prioritize food production over irrigated cotton???

Antarctica's 12-month running average temperature is the highest on record. That seems bad. 😟

My favorite from "No Kings" in Denver.

An electric farm, an electric harvest .... electric everything Farms need to be electric – because, once this kit is scaled appropriately, on-farm costs will be so much lower. reneweconomy.com.au/an-electric-... @reneweconomy.com.au

This is a major challenge. The structures outlined in this recent senate report focused on climate change and renewables - but can also be applied to every issue. Great to see the report highlight the need to support independent media as a way to counter disinformation #auspol

UNREAL: A drone maker backed by Trump’s two oldest sons is trying to sell to Gulf countries while they are under attack by Iran and dependent on the U.S. military led by their father. In other words Trump to profit from the war. apnews.com/article/trum...

You aren't being serious about a policy response to AI if you're not including universal basic income as one of the dials to turn in your policy response package.

Trump officials are dropping like flies recently: Noem, Lewandowski, Kent, and now Bondi. Who is next? I preview some possibilities, and conduct my first newsletter reader poll! Check it out in the replies.

Also Macron, speaking for many, has this explanation: "When you want to be serious, you don’t go around saying the opposite every day of what you just said the day before. And perhaps you shouldn’t talk every day.”

The Iran thing led to the devastating war and economic upheaval that the previous deal was expressly intended to avoid. This stupid act of vandalism will lead to exactly the massive, endless snarl of litigation that the Biden people were trying to head off. (5/5)

Don't subsidise energy prices during a supply crisis: give cash transfers to low-income and vulnerable households instead.

‘Antony Loewenstein’s “Palestine Laboratory” podcast series made with Drop Site in 2024 is now available on his own podcast and is compulsory listening.’

He’s not so much my problem. He’s a transnational link. Hastie & Price are both in his operation & see themselves as future PMs.

"Under Bondi, in the first six months of Trump’s administration, DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, fraud, and drugs..." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Impossible to say now, she would be screamed at as an antisemite, wouldn’t be able to freely challenge Zionism by the producer, or the piece would have been edited.

Surprise surprise surprise, not the social democratic countries with fairer wealth distribution scoring the highest in happiness, again?! What?!

Both presidents were actors whose entire program of tax cuts for the rich, warmongering, and elimination of social/environmental protection was pre-written for them by giant US oil and other corporations via the Heritage Foundation. One started and the other completed the work of the #AtlasNetwork

It is clear that #electric trucks are increasingly competitive. Australia has an opportunity to seize the moment, but is the transport #minister listening carefully enough?

As an Aussie overseas, it’s wild watching the home discourse. There seems to be this unique phenomenon where Australians blame their own PM for Trump/Netanyahu actions and the wars in Gaza, Palestine, and now Iran. Are the keys to the Middle East are kept in Canberra? #auspol

“The Gulf Stream appears to have shifted north by roughly 50 kms over the past 30 years. Because the shift matches what the physics-based model predicts during Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) weakening, it strengthens the case that the broader system is already slowing.”

Some journalists are still doing excellent, necessary, well-checked and prolonged work. #AusPol #corruption #LNP

“I have to respond to the real world as it is.” Yes, Prime Minister. Why don’t you do that.
