As Bill Shorten put it in a well-timed media appearance: "Why is it that a plumber, a nurse, a journalist, a lawyer, a teacher, a doctor pay higher rates of tax when they go to work every day than someone who just sits on a pile of assets?" #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Firmus won approval for an AI centre in Launceston last year. It is headed by Oliver Curtis, who completed a sentence in 2019 for insider trading. Also convicted was John Hartman, who was subsequently employed by billionaire Twiggy Forrest, who also has interests in Tasmania. #politas #auspol 1/

“The tendency of the conservative side of politics to demonise immigration is deeply distressing”💥 Monique Ryan with facts the media, politicians love to ignore inc that new migrants pay tax with no benefits for 4yrs We benefit “to a much greater extent than it costs”🎯 #auspol

The fuq did i just read? Article explains how much change the liberal party has done since Dutton, yet has the exact same stances as Dutton (net zero, immigration, coal, negative gearing) seriously ABC do you even read your own stuff? #auspol

Oh the irony. Exclude a group based on their identity from a commission into social cohesion. It would be funny if it wasn't such a glaring example of the selective discrimination that is at play with this Royal Commission. #auspol #palestine #antisemitism

how the hell does anyone ''identify'' a jewess... unless of course they are wearing an 80cm star of david and a matching tshirt...ffs... anyone can just make this stuff up... this time Shirley Leader.. #Auspol

'And the remainder of Labor’s second term will be critical in deciding whether it is remembered as a reform government to rival Gough Whitlam’s, Bob Hawke’s and Paul Keating’s, or as the missed opportunity its friendly critics sometimes fear.' 🤔 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Latest from our AAP #news feed #auspol US airlines sound alarm as key travel programs paused. An airline trade association fears the travelling public could be used as "a political football" amid another US government shutdown.... michaelwest.com.au/us-airlines-...

The Greens warned the hate laws were biased and would target the wrong people. It took less than a month for police to raid Dissent Bar and prove every concern right. Laws supposedly about antisemitism are being used against anti-fascists.

HOW IT STARTED, HOW ITS GOING: IPA founded in 1943 by Murdoch Sr & the owners & CEOs of big mining corps. The same Melbourne Club elite formed the Liberal Party in 1944. In the 1980s, the IPA joins the #AtlasNetwork. The party of big oil, coal, gas & nukes, until all our kids are cooked.

@albomp.bsky.social and your handing Australia citizens data over to the USA ? #Auspol

@albomp.bsky.social handing over Aussie's ID documents etc... WTAF? BLACKMAIL... that's what it is... Let Trump cancell visa free travel to the CORRUPT USA Anyone wanting to go to a facist state SHOULD HAVE TO PAY their new exhorbitant fees #AusPol #AusNews @senatorwong.bsky.social

I COULDN'T BE MORE FUCKING ENRAGED RIGHT NOW. ALBO IS DOING WHAT WITH OUR PERSONAL DATA? HANDING IT ALL OVER TO FUCKING ICE WITHOUT OUR CONSENT? OH HELL THE FUCK NO! THIS IS THE DEATH KNELL FOR LABOR. CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. #Auspol #FuckICE

Srsly?! There are Australian citizens serving in the IDF?! If there are Australian-Israeli dual citizens serving in the IDF, will they be interviewed on their return to Australia to ascertain if they've participated in genocide or war crimes in Gaza? My guess: no. #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism

Utterly brilliant. Great reuse for government subsidised aged care. Would really help if #politicians were included ‘mandatorily’ as a form of ‘mutual obligations ‘ instead of some of the with other perks. #auspol #racism.

One hundred writers withdrawing from Adelaide Festival Writers Week is an important stand for free speech, and against the racist targeting of Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. The question now is not so much who else will join the boycott. But who remains? And why? www.indailysa.com.au/news/just-in...

Just fucking ban X in Australia. Job done. #auspol

“anyone can agree with a true statement. The distinguishing mark of loyalty – the proof of submission – is the willingness to repeat something everyone knows is false.” #auspol www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/t...

#Albo has bowed to the right-wingnut/Israeli pressure to hold a #RC into #Bondi. Commonly a RC is good @ revealing long running systemic corruption & mismanagement. The ability to generate understanding of, & determine individual motivations for, random acts of violence appears problematic. #AusPol

#RonniSalt on X: The pro-Israel lobby is now manipulating & infiltrating almost every aspect of Aust life They will also tell you - those who are now forcing their views on our govt, media, universities, arts & cultural institutions - that stating this fact is 'racist' & 'antisemitic' #AUSPOL

This attempt to strip Australians of freedom of speech & freedom to protest, in Israel’s name, is repellant. No country (including Australia) can be immune from criticism. Specious conflation of Israel with Judaism makes the situation worse, creating unfair blaming of Jewish people. #Auspol

🧵 Authoritarian letter-writers for a solely Israeli narrative need to understand that their work is backfiring. Murdoch’s audience is a minority. The rest of us are becoming galvanised by disgust at the people who would deny us the right to speak about Palestinians as a people & as fully human.

Oi @albomp.bsky.social Why would we be paying this Nazi loving rockspider anything?? Please Explain? #auspol

The shameful PM Albanese backflip on a wasteful Royal Commission is proof beyond any doubt concerning the undue influence the israeli/zionist lobby has on our politics & media In reality, only a RC into this insidious influence is required #IsraelIsATerroristState #auspol

It's a Zionists picnic...everything makes sense now😜 #auspol #sapol

As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi. A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.

#Albanese’s extraordinary handling of the equally extraordinary aftermath of the #bondimassacre raises questions about the PM’s political judgement. Not for the first time. #Auspol michaelwest.com.au/albos-judgem...

You're a scab for fascists if you don't boycott the Adelaide Festival btw

'X'should be banned in Australia... simple @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social will do nothing of course 🙃 #AusPol

meanwhile in Australia... @albomp.bsky.social is busy capitulating to Zionists utlizing the tragic deaths of Aussie Jews to gain MORE political power I am so disappointed in @australianlabor.bsky.social #AusPol

Australia should follow suit. And it's not a case of 'could' but one of 'must' Society would be much better without Musk's toxicity. #auspol
