ASIC doesn't prosecute bankers, or NACC the perpetrators of Robodebt. @yelgeb.bsky.social on the blistering double standard in prosecuting white collars v blue, and protecting corporate reputations #auspol #ANZ #austrac michaelwest.com.au/asic-nacc-ex...

More than 2 years after the NACC was established, it hasn’t held a single public hearing. Now we learn the PM pushed to make it harder to hold them. Public hearings are vital to building trust - the Govt should be making them easier, not harder. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/2025/10...

Very true though. Why do the betting agencies get to keep the proceeds of crime?

Hard rubbish but for phrases

There's no way the NSW food authority would lie for the industry it's regulating. I mean, that never happens. #auspol #ausbluberries

Wonder what Peter Dutton is doing now... Not. But here's another potato head. #auspol #racist #fascist

As @albomp.bsky.social tries to amend the #FOI Act to wrap matters being considered by his ministry in total secrecy, we find out he also led the charge for the #NACC to never hold public hearings. He talks transparency, but walks secrecy. #TransparencyFraud #auspol

The Govt should be introducing legislation to provide more transparency, not less. Their proposed changes to FOI are deeply troubling, though not surprising given in the last parliament they were the 2nd most secretive in 30 years. That needs to change. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/907156...

CALVES TAKEN, CHICKS SHREDDED ALIVE 💔 EMMA HURST MP: "I was a naïve vegetarian. Years later I discovered calves in the dairy industry are taken from their mothers and killed, and male chicks in the egg industry are thrown alive into giant blenders. That’s why I only eat 🌱." #AusPol #Vegan #AJP

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

Ties with France, a country with which we have liberal democracy in common, make make sense. Unlike ties with fascist dictatorships and meetings with its convicted rapist leader. #auspol (link to Albanese/Macron meeting invite in news live)

The longer Albanese avoids Trump, the better! Withdraw from AUKUS. Strong sanctions on Israel.

“It is truly extraordinary that of the three countries that are party to the deal, Australia – which bears the brunt of both the cost and the risk – is the only one not to have put AUKUS to a genuine review." Petition for an inquiry into AUKUS > theaus.in/AUKUS_inquiry

Donald Trump lashing out at an Australian journalist for asking questions is authoritarian behaviour. "Will Albanese stand up to the White House if they try to stop the ABC from entering, which is what happened in the UK?" - Chief Political Analyst Amy Remeikis @amyremeikis.bsky.social #auspol

"We’re still opening new gas and coal projects. "At the same time, the Government wants a pat on the back for slightly more ambitious domestic targets." - Executive Director Richard Denniss on FIVEAA Mornings @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

ASIC Chair Joe Longo explains why ASIC didn’t punish fmr ANZ CEO Shayne Elliott “In Aus we don’t lightly ban ppl from their employment, we don’t lightly send them to jail, we don’t lightly impose penalties on them or ruin their reputation” Unless you’re a whistleblower, then you’re screwed

This is the Ad that #Newscorpse initially pulled despite that it was already paid for by the Jewish Council of Australia. #Newscorpse deny they pulled it, saying it was delayed due to internal processes. Sounds like BS, I’m pretty sure they don’t want ppl to see it. Plz share.

Labor has just blown any enviro credentials they may've had by approving final step in the biggest new fossil fuel project in the Southern Hemisphere. A betrayal & disastrous for the future of our 🌎. We can't protect our planet while we are digging and burning new fossil fuels.

SBS should follow this lead, and boycott Eurovision while Israel remains a participant. But of course, the SBS board and senior executive would need to have the guts to resist inevitable Zionist lobbying, and accusations of 'antisemitism'. #GazaGenocide #auspol www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

I agree. That’s why our bill would require procurement officials, not ministers, to consider any unethical behaviour when considering a potential supplier for government work. This Government must do more to deter unethical conduct to avoid repeating the scandals we saw with PwC.

“... the government must keep going and protect the Richmond River koala stronghold, commit to the Great Southern Forest national park on the south coast, and end native forest logging across NSW”.

#auspol good on Twiggy. But why, @australia.theguardian.com, does the so-called Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) get a "conservative thinktank" epithet? The reality is they're a far right activist echo chamber.

Breaking! We have just found out that the Albanese Government plans to pay hundreds of millions for building houses for US troops and foreign arms companies using a secret AUKUS “cost-sharing” deal with Donald Trump.

Speaking as a Tasmanian - boycott all Tasmanian salmon, boycott all industrial agriculture and food from Tasmania. They're all destroying the natural environment as fast as possible with as little regulation as government can get away with. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

This is bullshit. The Anglicans are dodging their responsibilities by pretending each diocese is an independent organisation. This is corporate shit, corrupt and wrong. It punishes victims again. As a former student at an Anglican school, fuck those child abusing cunts. #AusPol

The same groups advising on how to disarm the intergenerational economic bombs that have started to explode are the same groups that helped set them, writes Amy Remeikis.

Kohler: “Higher productivity only turns into national happiness if everyone shares equally in the benefits of it, but since around 1980, neoliberal policies have meant that hasn't happened.” In Aus, neoliberalism picked up speed in the 90s, and was turbocharged under Howard & Costello.

Barnaby reckons "It's incredibly important that the Australian people get some sort of transparency on an industry that has been mired in secrecy," A bit like Cayman Island water buybacks, isn't it, old mate Barny. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...
