You can't trust anything the Liberals say on climate change.

“You didn’t vote for it, you weren’t even asked, but it was decided three years ago – mostly by those the Reserve Bank – that Australia needed an extra 150,000 or so people to be unemployed.” My column on unemployment hitting 4.5% www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

More than 60 countries are complicit in the collective crime of enabling the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza Yes @albomp.bsky.social , Australia included in two in this piece - diplomatic and military. When I find the report, I bet economic as well #auspol www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-...

In the end, when even the hard-core deniers can see that climate change and sea-level rise are problems, we will recognise that most of the fossil carbon should stay in the ground. The question is whether we will get to that realisation soon enough. #auspol #climate

Having been involved with this report for the past 5 years, overall takeaways IMO are: - Good news: we know (in great detail) the things the 🌎 needs to do to stay w/in 1.5°C! - Good news: we are doing many of the things! - Bad news: we’re not doing ANY of the things at the necessary speed or scale!

The IMF reports on 191 countries. Australia is ranked 2nd We're 1 of only 7 countries out of 191 with an "AAA" credit rating. The USA & the UK's not AAA. So, if the RW media, the #LNP, and #PHON are saying things are bad in Australia, then you should know they are only #gaslighting you. #auspol

I really think I should get my tomorrow's cartoon out there today, while it's fresh. Ballroomocracy. My @smh/@theage cartoon.

Australia’s political parties are moving to their use-by date https://johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10/australias-political-parties-are-moving-to-their-use-by-date #auspol

As you can guess, this article doesn't mention why the records are being broken, but the sidebar nicely explains it www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Right now Sydney is about 9 degrees cooler than it was expected to be by now. Perhaps we’ll be spared.

The Australian state, whether Labor or Liberal is in power, exists to preserve this country as a fossil fuel exporter, a base for America to project its waning military power in the Pacific and as a tipping ground for US pop culture trash. We need a left populist independence movement.

I’m sure my reaction speaks for many upon hearing we’ve signed a rare earths deal with the US and that it’s full steam ahead on #AUKUS.

Yesterday's announcement of a critical minerals partnership with the US comes on the back of a strong year for the sector. Crikey looks at which politicians have shares in the companies that mine rare earths.

Sydney set for ‘blistering’ weather as record heat shifts east and winds forecast to blast southern Australia

Company unions drive down wages and silence workers...and the Liberals are funding them. I’m bringing forward legislation to ban company unions and make sure every union in Canada is democratic, independent, and accountable only to workers.

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Trump destroying Eleanor Roosevelt‘s legacy (the east wing) feels a little on the nose.

What a deal. My @smh @theage cartoon.

"Trump did not achieve lasting peace in Gaza. He didn’t achieve a week of peace in Gaza. Because Trump only cares about Trump, and whatever narrative can be wrangled in support of Trump is what he’s going with, regardless of the consequences."

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare. And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

The meetings between the banks and Prince Andrew (acting as a proxy for Epstein) all took place at the Palace: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

So a few weeks ago I continued my follow the money investigation by demanding answers from Jamie Dimon, the chairman and CEO of JP Morgan Chase. More info on that inquiry is available here:

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

A lot of wealthy and powerful people helped Epstein fund his sex trafficking operation. The American people deserve to know who they are. Secretary Bessent, like his boss, is covering it up. I’m going to keep following the money. Stay tuned.

Real time data coming out of the world’s climate measurement systems should be stopping us in our tracks. The latest estimate shows that, this week, the Earth is 1.9°C warmer than before we began burning fossil fuels. #climatecrisis #ClimateEmergency #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/we-re-t...

I heard a Nat on RN talking about ‘prime farming land’ being sacrificed to wind turbines &solar. Let’s ignore coal mines & fracking as he did, but no one wants profitable land converted. Its in the rubbish land every farmer has that can be converted to renewables that opportunity lies. &he knows it.

Analysis by The Australia Institute reveals that replacing the broken Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) with a flat 25% tax on gas exports, as suggested by the ACTU, would raise more than $17 billion a year, enough to quadruple Commonwealth spending on housing. Read the full release below:

This is a situation entirely of Sky News Australia's making. And not a single other news org is calling that out. Just "TeLlInG yOu WhAt He SaId!" because none of them can actually do journalism.

Sky News Australia. The same news org who have been white-anting Rudd for 10 months now making sure Trump knows every mean thing Rudd has ever historically said.

The Australian government is reviewing a citizen-led petition asking to bar Donald Trump and his administration from entering the country. Republican voices say it shows just how far the anti-Trump movement reaches overseas.

Sussan Ley has lashed out at Kevin Rudd saying now that it’s clear that US President Trump doesn’t like him, she wants him immediately sacked. How about taking Australia’s side for once in your life Sussan? Inexcusable, unelectable. #auspol

If it wasn’t clear before, it certainly is now: without a credible, coherent climate action plan and clean energy policy, the Federal Opposition is heading into the political wilderness. The LNP’s infighting over net zero exposes its policy poverty and growing irrelevance.

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli is once again taking credit for governments past. In 2017 Pimpama Train Station was made part of the greater cross-river rail project, which the Newman government opposed. Construction on the station began in 2022 & it is now open. #qldpol
