CSIRO have now lost more jobs under the Albanese Governmet than under the Abbott Government. We have to do better on research funding and backing our scientists. www.smh.com.au/environment/...

The AUKUS deal will cost taxpayers at least $368bn to build nuclear submarines for the U.S. with zero guarantee of a single submarine for Australia. Join me in signing the @australiainstitute.org.au petition demanding more scrutiny nb.australiainstitute.org.au/aukus_parlia...

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men." Just saying it right out loud now. newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

WTF

“And for him to turn around in the last week and have a crack at David Pocock and Grace Tame, you could not be further departed from the reality of Australians to do that.” – Hannah Ferguson Read more: https://theaus.in/4sr9RQ3

Albanese has now admitted that Australians were onboard the US nuclear sub that sank an Iranian vessel and left the crew to drown, in a violation of international law. This was always an inevitability of AUKUS. End AUKUS now.

Gas companies that export 🇦🇺 gas are about to make windfall profits after strikes on Iran & we have no plan to capture that value for 🇦🇺 To fix this, we need a 25% tax on gas exports that would raise billions of💲of revenue & ensure that when prices rise, 🇦🇺 benefits www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Some advice for the PM: there are many, many of us ″⁣difficult women″⁣ ... and we all vote. Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk The Age letters

This #difficultwoman agrees......

Well it was trained on all digitized human knowledge, so if you want to look at it like that, the embodied carbon consumption of a foundation model should also include the consumption of every person that ever posted something online. Checkmate you misanthropic asshole

I will be at the Sydney event Who is joining me?

How Vaccines Work 🧬🧫🧪🔬💉🥽

I just keep watching it disappear. Our free press. Our right to assembly. Our freedom of speech. Our right to due process. Our right to free and fair elections. Our protections from illegal search and seizure. Our private data. Our warrantless entry protections. All of it disappearing.

What we need right now is a Margaret Pomeranz review of the Melania movie

What’s actually happening: Donald +flag is being given as tribute to Mawson Peak on Big Ben massif (our Active volcano). Volcano did not like the brain worm infested RFK, so we are praying this orange skin sack buys us 300 years of freedom from tariff threats and AI misrepresentation.

Why is it that religious bodies receive exemptions from criminal laws in Australia? If it's a crime, it's a fucking crime. Fix this up, @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social. NO MORE EXEMPTIONS. REPEAL EXISTING EXEMPTIONS. #auspol

One day soon, I pray we hear these precious words: "Due to the actions of the President of the United States we can no longer regard America as an ally. We'll be withdrawing from AUKUS and putting all US bases in Australia on notice, including Pine Gap ..." Then we'll know we have a leader. #Auspol

I stand with @cathywilcox.bsky.social

The US should not be allowed to make Australia complicit in nuclear war. 50 years ago Whitlam believed that and he was right. It’s time to end AUKUS. Close Pine Gap.

How about business leaders first institute all the recommendations from the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry?

Saved lives *and* screwed Sky News? Put down your glasses, we have found the Australian of the Year

What changed, @albomp.bsky.social? Are you telling us with your recent proclamations, that fly in the face of people having "a right to speak up," that the Zionist lobby is so strong & powerful that you can no longer stand up for what you believe in & what is right? #auspol #Bondi #GazaGenocide

Bondi tears. My @smh @theage cartoon.

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

Why are we sacking scientists who are so essential to understanding our climate crisis? To understanding the horrific algae bloom assaulting SAs beaches? The changes in our oceans? Madness. www.indailysa.com.au/news/opinion...

I’m guessing the explosive leak happened in PVO’s pants.

Another example of the failures and dangers of deregulation, privatisation, inadequate oversight and effective registration of providers. TAFE was sacrificed on the altar of neoliberal greed and ideology. Governments need to prosecute the shonks and increase TAFE funding.

The original March for Humanity on the harbour bridge in Sydney was planned for Sun Aug 3, 2025 After the Minns govt took the protest orgs to the NSW Supreme Court, it was held on Sun Aug 31, 2025 But please let's hear again about weekend dates not registering as an issue for the Minns govt 🧐

Our housing system is broken. There are 175,000+ people on the waiting list for social housing. Housing is a human right. It’s time we acted like it. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
