The strictly monitored evacuation will send those aboard the ship back to their respective countries.

@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social must feel mixed emotions every day. That his party thought Starmer a better leader, that the movement away from the two major parties is happening so rapidly. Change can be scary, it’s up to us to make it good change.

Is this week's rate rise the latest in a long line of pro-cyclical fumbles by central banks that make things worse, not better? satpa.pe/zZnsteG

Three women charged with terror and slave trade offences. Tell me which Australian farming industry isn’t involved in contrived slave entrapment!

The return of four Australian women and nine children from Syria after the conflict with Islamic State is no cause for alarm - Australia has a robust legal system to deal with terrorist offences - and should not be politicised. Ben Saul says that now is the time for rehabilitation and reintegration…

Excellent article - well worth the read. #auspol

Our cruelty to their children is shameful.

Even with a 25 per cent export tax on LNG exports, it would still be very profitable to continue with Australia's present contracts. In such a case our Asian customers would not be affected and the producers would still get an adequate return. The Prime Minister has therefore missed an important op…

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

I’m looking forward to the Royal Commission that investigates racism against First Nations people in Australia. A royal commission that allows First Nations people to tell of their experiences with entrenched racism that includes brutality at the hands of police, health and grotesque abuse daily

Very difficult not to see ABC News’ continued reference to children having links to ISIS as being deliberately provocative. ISIS became effectively defunct years ago, before many of these children were even born. Pretty disgusting way to approach this issue. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

The ABC continuing to call them ISIS brides is pretty old and lazy as well. Doesn’t help anyone. The children have not done anything but be children. The media should be quiet give them all a chance.

I don’t understand how the Albanese government can morally justify keeping the jobseeker rate way below poverty level, when their economy requires that some people need to be unemployed bc “labour market”. I guess morality doesn’t come into it.

Australian politics heating up on BlueSky 🔥 • Gaza/antisemitism polarization dominates • Housing affordability & negative gearing reform • Tax the wealthy demands surge 🧵1/3

Are you telling me that taking the profit for rich people out of the equation suddenly makes renting affordable? That’s crazy talk. #AusPol

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it appalling that an ABC News journalist is on the actual flight with these women and children as they return to Australia? What an absolute invasion of privacy, not just for this group but for anyone else on the plane? Not journalism 😬 Seriously 🤯 #auspol

Slow clap reserve bank Just hurting the people who can least afford an interest rate rise. Punish the Poors Doubt the rich people will stop spending money #auspol

How do you fit countless on a KPI dashboard?

A big abacus is used?

If corporations can donate millions to politicians, it’s not democracy, it’s a subscription service for power. Ban political donations. Fund elections publicly. One person, one voice, not one dollar, one vote. #SocialistSunday

Not shocked at all about this scummy tactic.

Every day a new and worse atrocity committed by Israel against innocent civilians and yet silent complicity by the Western world #auspol @albomp.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

I wish they cared this much about shootings when it happens to children at school.

ok maybe 2 hours because I forgot one important step that I wrote down in 2024

this community 200km north of Broome and home to nearly 400 Bardi and Jawi people, is planning to install a multimillion-dollar solar and battery farm that would generate enough renewable energy to meet 80% of their power needs! #RenewableEnergy #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This would be a game changer

Every few days l’orient le jour profiles a town in southern Lebanon so you hear from the residents what they love about their town or their house. Today features Khiam They are always worth the read.

Pretty willing to bet Dymocks still stock Gaiman, David Walliams, Craig Silvey and more of their ilk.

Everybody should read this. #Auspol

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Australian politicians and media constantly mock the people they have so easily manipulated for decades. I blame them for being bad people, but not for taking the piss. Respect is a given, but it is easily lost, it then needs to be earned. Think, care, then vote. #auspol #australia #duopolycon

Absolutely! #AusPol Just a completely pathetic outcome, but not surprising given the @albomp.bsky.social record of late. Desperately need more #Independents & #Greens to achieve real positive change! 💐🥂@davidpocock.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

When authoritarianism sinks to the level of low farce. “I was wearing a T-shirt which displayed the six-word phrase which I can’t say, and I gave a speech using the six-word phrase which I can’t say,” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #AusPol #AuthoritarianCreep
