A genuine man of the people is our Andrew Hastie, patron of an exclusive gun club. It is fun that he applied for funds for solar panels. That MPs get a taxpayer slush fund of $150,000 per annum to spend on keeping their electorate sweet is fun too. Did you know? #AusPol

What he said: 💯 🎯

Srsly, if THIS 👇 tweet by Tony Windsor doesn't win Peter FitzSimons' Political Tweet of the Year 2025, I will be very disappointed. This is the best tweet I've read in ages. 😂 #auspol #BarnabyJoyce #Nationals

I concur

It's more important to dislike him for his lack of values & terrible voting record. For his misogynistic remarks & disgraceful attacks on those who fight for the climate or animal rights. The fact that he's a heavy smoker isn't pertinent. Almost a parody of Sir Les Patterson 🤪😄

Oh for fucks sake people. You can not say the laws were rushed in and we have been negotiating for months at the same time. #auspol

Saw Barnaby Joyce on telly last night …Is it mean and unfair to say that his teeth look like wood chips? If it is, I withdraw my remark. #auspol

Karvelas: “Is Pauline Hanson’s stunt racist?” Ley: “it can certainly be interpreted that way” Way to keep courting the white supremacists. The LNP are so lost. No leadership just politicking. If you can’t call out racism you don’t deserve to be leader. #auspol

BREAKING: Labor has secured the passage of its new environmental laws with the support of The Greens. Albanese says the Liberals inc. Sussan Ley refused to meet him. PM “I must say that the Greens showed maturity.” Great result. ✅ #auspol

Barnaby Joyce's key achievement in politics to date has been to graphically demonstrate the need for softfall around planter boxes. #AusPol

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Honestly. Who gives a fat rat’s?. #auspol

Good news and great to see Labor and the Greens working together. #auspol

I’m pleased - relieved- Labor dealt with the greens. It was going to be too awful if they’d cosied up to the woeful LNP. #auspol there’s no planet B.

I'm just leaving this here #auspol

I asked the Prime Minister to allow Labor MPs a free vote on banning gambling advertising. His response? The same old guff to sidestep the uncomfortable reality that he’s the one holding this reform back #auspol #politas

Opulence for #AUKUS. Austerity for public services. #auspol

So Australia’s political parties need a rebrand. Liberals & Nationals are Conservative (at best) Labor is now Liberal (of John Howard) Greens are now Labor (of Whitlam) (One Nation are still a 1930/40’s German party) #AusPol

Do Americans really want a president who always obeys the Russian dictator?

Trump needs to keep his fat Pinocchio nose out of other countries affairs and stop the shit stirring

Rather than the gas cartel prioritising the supply of Australian gas to their foreign customers, we need the Australian Govt prioritising the supply of Australian gas to Australians. We need a retrospective gas reservation policy now. #auspol

This outstanding, powerful, brilliant post by @demwar.bsky.social deserves to be a t-shirt (with uplifting music!) Superb. #auspol #AusVotes

That is an amazing innings. Congratulations Travis Head #Ashes

Can we play the second test tomorrow? Kick England whilst they're down? I mean, there's certainly time. #Ashes

Well played young Travis Head! An innings for the history books #ashes

"Inadvertently" my arse. Furthermore, Paul Brereton should not be in the employ of the government, @albomp.bsky.social. Sack Brereton. #auspol #NACC

It is now clear when Albo said "no-one left behind", he really meant: - the gambling industry - big media - fossil fuel lobby - for-profit childcare corporations - aged care companies - employment service providers - property developers... But Australians with the greatest needs? Yeah nah. #auspol

@zaltzcricket.bsky.social hope you’re enjoying the cricket Andy. It’s not great from the Oz perspective. Still. Day 1.

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate." When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video. He's a tyrant.

On this week's A Rational Fear we chat with Richie Merzian live in Belem — recorded on Tuesday — and this morning we found out that Australia will not be hosting COP31. Regardless there is lots of fun goss about the machinations of trying to win the COP31 bid. www.arationalfear.com

Bloody hell #auspol Time to get out of AUKUS

Please please do this.

Am so dissatisfied with Labor… Ruined my 2026 already. They really know how to activate a guy to run against them.

Australia’s economic complexity ranking is at a low. @albomp.bsky.social’s response - cut CSIRO staff by 300 - 350🤦‍♂️. Plenty of money for opulent projects like #AUKUS to fill foreign wallets, not so much money for our future prosperity. #auspol

Labor can’t blame anyone else anymore. They own what they do as their legacy. A rock around their necks as they go down in history as traitors to the people who trusted and voted for them. @albomp.bsky.social #auspol. May they get their just deserts for their betrayal of labour values.

Lewis Hobba in last week's podcast had a great point — that Labor is hedging on every issue. They simultaneously have Bow3n out here saving the planet while Watt is out here allowing more methane processing than ever.

#auspol #CSIRO

The @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social Govt claims it’s focused on raising productivity - often achieved by employing innovations accruing from scientific research & development. CSIRO has a stellar record of achievement in R&D…including WIFI. We must ditch toxic neoliberalism #auspol

A government that can’t bring itself to tax fossil fuel, big tech or any wealth properly but defunds its critical institutions is not a good government, sorry
