A bad one.

Last year, after a 2 year+ fight, the #FOI Commissioner lifted the secrecy blanket over how foreign takeovers of Aussie companies are approved. The Govt is appealing my win AND are now also trying to change the law, including for matters on appeal. 1/2 #UnfairFight #auspol

#ICYMI 2/2 #auspol

What a surprise to see that Donald Trump has made $4bn in 8 months while being US President. I bet by the end of 4 years he will be richer than Elon Musk.

Lifeblood. My @smh cartoon.

Few scandals better illustrate the cost of government secrecy than robodebt. But the newly proposed FOI bill will make it harder for the public to scrutinise the government and easier for secrecy to prevail www.canberratimes.com.au/story/907156...

Senior Trump administration health officials spent days devising the delicate rollout of new guidance suggesting a possible link between autism and the usage of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol. But their careful plotting could not account for one key variable: https://cnn.it/46i8lYj

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

Great piece from @rossgittins.bsky.social in the SMH today. It references a new report from @richarddenniss.bsky.social on how Australian governments game their climate targets to conceal their lack of climate action. Read: australiainstitute.org.au/report/targe...

At-Fucking-Last👊💜🇵🇸🍉 Now for action! Stop the genocide by Netanyahu’s IDF, backed by Zionist’s worldwide… 1/

The Federal Govt’s climate target requires 1/2 of new cars in 2035 to be EVs. The price gouging electricity retail giants have lobbied the NSW Govt to extend their monopoly to kerbside chargers. Minister Penny Sharpe is keeping their and NSW’s plans secret. #FOI #nswpol

In retaliation for 11 countries recognising Palestine. Netanyahu has just promised there will be NO Palestine, the West Bank and Gaza will be eradicated and replaced with Jewish settlements. He is a War Criminal and the leaders of the world need to treat him as such.

This is all very well, but immediate sanctions and a condemnation of the genocide Israel *is currently committing* would go a lot further

And yet never actually mentioned anything Jesus Christ said once.

Welcome to the Theocracy.

I fully support the UK, Canada and Australia's recognition of a Palestinian state. It is not a 'reward' for Hamas. It is rightful attempt to preserve the only model that could achieve long-term peace amidst Israel's inexcusable colonisation of the West Bank and destruction of civilian life in Gaza.

Happy 140th birthday, Ben Chifley. Australia desperately needs someone of your courage and vision, today!

"The Gaza holocaust was made possible by the embrace of the ethno-supremacist logic inherent to Zionism. Therefore it must be said clearly: Zionism, in all its forms, cannot be cleansed of the stain of this crime. It must be brought to an end." www.972mag.com/israel-holoc...

At least 76 killed in Gaza City alone as 450,000 flee Israeli attacks on the coastal enclave’s main urban centre.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

"The value of Australia’s coal and gas exports is predicted to plummet by 50% over the next five years as global demand for fossil fuel falls, according to Treasury modelling." Which makes the Government's recent decisions just that bit more stupid. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

THERAD: Jillian Segal was announced as Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism on 9 July 2024. She signed a Conflict of Interest form on 8 July 2024, the day before the announcement.

Clearly, the people in Henderson, WA aren't convinced about #AUKUS. Mind you, outside the Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee parties, who is?

“There have been briefings to people like Senator Pocock on that. He can’t tell you what’s in it, but what he can say is it’s horrible.” Pocock says the ONI report’s contents were “frankly terrifying”. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

If you want to know how seriously the Albanese Government treats #greenhouse gas emissions, read this. There was "a statement of concern by the federal environment minister" - which is worth about as much as one of Penny Wong's concerned frowns - nothing. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

In March, we were assured by "experts" that the USA did not have a kill switch on the RAAF's F-35s - but now we're being told that China could blow up EVs in Australia. The hawks in Canberra, who so conscientiously follow the US military-industrial complex line on everything, need to grow up.

Israel gave residents an hour to evacuate areas in southern Lebanon after announcing planned attacks on Hezbollah.

#Gaza is not just facing a humanitarian catastrophe. It is facing the systematic destruction of a people. Doctors in Gaza know they cannot stop a genocide. But world leaders can, if they choose to act: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-do...

The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show highlights exactly what @inaeoh.bsky.social warned us about in the wake of The Late Show's cancellation: "The end of Colbert signals a dark new chapter in Trump’s authoritarian slide. If this can happen to...a storied franchise, this can happen to anyone."

Israel bombs Gaza City as US vetoes UN ceasefire resolution once more

If you haven’t, then you really need to read Animal Farm and 1984 to see the blueprint of what the USA is turning into today.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

People run for lives from air strikes and explosive-laden ‘robots’, as lifelines collapse in Gaza’s biggest urban centre.

When FCC Chair Brendan Carr suggested Jimmy Kimmel should be suspended and said, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” ABC and its local affiliates were listening. Within hours, ABC suspended Kimmel’s show “indefinitely,” a stunning move that has raised serious First Amendment concerns.
