Home Affairs Sec Stephanie Foster exposed as overly determined Not to Answer & take things ‘on notice’ Shoebridge “You’re taking on notice your failure to answer on notice, Q’s I asked u on notice, about Q’s that u responded on notice, to answers u haven’t given on notice”🤯ffs #Estimates

So - let me get this straight… They’ll ban social media for under 16s even though most experts say it WON’T work But they won’t ban gambling advertising & other key recommendations even though most experts say it WILL work What? #4corners #auspol

The weather is so good in Russia that everyone leaves their windows open

You can have a situation with rising renewable absolute output and percentages of total (and falling emissions intensity!), but also stagnant or even rising greenhouse gas emissions: when *demand* itself is rising fast. This is very clearly the case in Aus, and it should trigger alarm bells

Ooh #FourCorners what a crooked bunch of bloodsuckers who have our govt by the cojones, those folks in the NRL, the gaming industry and even the body supposedly tasked with encouraging “responsible gambling”. Time for one of those #royalcommissions to uncover the corruption all the way to the top.

We need more people like David Pocock in the Australian Senate. At least one from each state, but as many as possible really #4corners

Watching 4 Corners on Gambling endemic in AUS. I am ashamed of the Albanese Gov for not implementing the Peta Murphy Report ‼️‼️‼️ #auspol #StopGamblingAdvertising www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

The Department of defence and the government both knew in late 23 - that the F-35 posed a risk of facilitating genocide under international law. And they decided to hide it. You are a disgrace @albomp.bsky.social #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Hard to believe anyone would call for USA to abandon the Geneva Convention. Why are we still in AUKUS? Why are we allowing a new forward deployment US base in Toowoomba? We are allied with people advocating for war crimes. @albomp.bsky.social We do not share these values.

I hope a Community Independent runs against Labor in EVERY seat, along with The Greens #auspol Top statistician breaks silence over Murujuga rock art study near Woodside gas plant www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

🚨 Forcing members of the military to separate because of a shaving waiver. Where I come from it’s called racism. 1/2

During the last term the Coalition insisted the only social license they need for Nuclear is the mandate people will give them at the election. In the end they got smashed, but are still pursuing it, proving it was never about the people. It was always about Gina Rinehart.

This is so insane. Public education needs a massive boost, not cuts. Almost all non-gov schools are religiously affiliated in some way- why are we outsourcing education to religious orgs? Education is compulsory- we should have pride in and strengthen our secular public schools, not undermine them.

LNP corruption continues

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Something that escaped me until now. Farage and Reform want to BAN DUAL CITIZENSHIP

The #AUKUS submission of Rear Admiral Peter Briggs Rtd to JSCOT screams “quagmire”. Unfortunately for him, and for us, in the vacuum of Richard Marles’s ‘Canberra AUKUS bubble’, no-one will hear his scream. Please sit down for this $368B must read 👉 www.aph.gov.au/DocumentStor...

"Australia’s law that is supposed to protect the environment and cultural heritage doesn’t work." Good piece from @adammorton.bsky.social on the North West Shelf. For more on Murujuga, watch our doco: australiainstitute.org.au/post/video-r...

"The funding is intended to be for training facilities already at capacity... & for regional communities at the coalface of transition But even the eligibility guidelines for that funding are yet to be released, & there are no listings on the gov's grants website" ? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

If a Tesla FSD can't see a bloody train, how is it going to see our kids walking and riding to school??? Are we making life more car dependent for Australians because it's so dangerous to be around them? @mon4kooyong.bsky.social (And we still don't have our 40 zone on Canterbury Rd!!)

The lyrics of Queen's song 'Liar' immediately came into my mind. Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt was advised emissions from Woodside's Karratha Gas Plant may be having an adverse effect on ancient Murujuga rock art, before granting the company a conditional extension. #auspol

That will make America smarter 🤪

Bushfire season is coming. Australians need to know that if they call 000 their call will always be answered. The govt must give us that certainty by immediately legislating for a 000 custodian. Emergency services are too important to be left to foreign private companies.

I can't help but picture the Holy Grail in Indiana Jones where the gold and jewels were a poor choice

Australia has an amazing opportunity to use its Medical Research Future Fund to immediately supercharge healthcare innovation - to develop new medicines, new therapies, new cures. The economic and social potential for our country is huge. The government could release billions of dollars today.

How old is too old to drive? I think this story missed something absolutely crucial - what is the alternative? Melbourne buses need to lift their game: Shopping, social and exercise need priority bus routes ASAP with an aging population @ptua.org.au #abc730 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Our states and territories are in fiscal pain as GST revenue falls far short of expectations, and services like hospitals and schools are suffering. Rather than increase taxes on individuals, we could tax gas exports or cut fossil fuel subsidies to help pay for world-class services for Australians.

I see Sky After Dark is still doing its thing #auspol

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

This story just gets crazier and crazier #4Corners

Governor of Utah, "I was praying that it was an immigrant." The USA is a hellhole, to smear immigrants like this on stage in front of the whole country when they had nothing to do with it. This is disgusting.

@albomp.bsky.social Australia DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS 👇 why did you think we rejected Morrison and his AUKUS 💩 to just have you capitulate to the warmongers ...... you are a disgrace to the Labor movement. #auspol

I know there's still an hour or so to go, but what if you through a Rally and no one shows up. 😆 #AusPol
