"So that's Theft, Fraud, Financial Misconduct, Political Misconduct and Misconduct in a public office. That's just the EU. In the UK, all of the above plus Treason, Money Laundering and Tax Evasion. The list probably goes on but that's enough of a start. Criminal Filth." via Timothy O'sullivan

It's the 1st of July which means the Cheaper Home Batteries program turns 1 and the Solar Sharer Offer becomes available.  These are common sense polices aimed at supporting every day Aussies with the cost of living.

Pauline Hanson confirms she wants to end maternity leave, claiming it forces businesses to “fold” Clearly just rubbish. And clearly One Nation want to force women to choose b/w having kids & having a job. Not a policy, a dangerous misinformation campaign. #auspol

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

“…the top 1% by wealth are responsible for about 40% of all “ownership”-based emissions – that is, the emissions produced by businesses and associated with privately owned financial and physical assets – which themselves make up 60% of global carbon output.” Tax them, & their carbon. #ClimateCrisis

Australian politicians are increasingly receiving death threats. They don't usually put out press releases for front page generation while matters are under investigation or before the courts. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

One Nation is polling at 28–31%. Before you dismiss it, ask why. Robodebt drove people to suicide. The NACC cleared Morrison. No senior figure has been held accountable. Hanson didn’t create that credibility gap — she moved into it. blakandblack.com/2026/06/19/t...

Pauline Hanson goes a full Trump, attacks The Guardian’s Sarah Martin calling her a “trashy journalist” just for daring to ask if she has anything to do with her daughter’s taxpayer-funded career.🙄 A total glass jaw—Clearly working off the MAGA playbook. #auspol

So Trump is spending $300 billion of taxpayer money to get us back to where we were before he started the war? “Put a businessman in charge of America” they said. Idiots.

You lot saw this response I got from The Campaigner (what? 🙄) of Christian coercive CitizenGo. Note he is still using his Atlas Network handle? This is the ATA, Australia’s most Charles Koch-connected “think tank”. Brian was Mr Vapes there, which I’m sure was a Koch-pleasing project. #Auspol
