Breaking: Julie Bishop resigns as ANU chancellor: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-08/julie-bishop-resigns-as-anu-chancellor/106657576

Taking a moment to realise I'm standing with many women + at the Melbourne International Women's Day Rally. Seeing those I've respected from a far for a while...

So on point.

Yes! Another fabulous independent & insightful source for #AusPol I want to stay informed but it's hard to identify the difference between truth vs spin. Insightful episode youtu.be/dJT_cUQ8hK8?... Thanks to you both ⭐️⭐️👏💛☺️ @ettemedia.bsky.social

Watching this interview I'm reminded what a good Christian sounds like. Been a while since I've felt respect towards a public figure like this. Others might not understand the connection, but this has me thinking about Father Bob. Speaking as an agnostic... 😌 youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

I live in Goldstein Tim Wilson ran a toxic campaign, used third party entities to intimidate voters and Zoe Daniel & volunteers He will do anything to win Just a grub Vote independent in 2028 #auspol

FMD!!! Tim Wilson wants higher interest rates on home loans! #auspol Wilson’s proposal would alter the way the nation dealt with the ups and downs in the economic cycle. It could lead to sharper spikes in interest rates that cause deeper downturns and more job losses.

Grace Tame has spent yrs standing up to abusers, while supporting victims & survivors. She exchanged a safe, quiet existence for one of consequence & impact. Right now she is being vilified by journalists, politicians, organisations. I stand with Grace - I hope you'll stand with her too! #Auspol

Great bunch of news stories this morning, telling us the system is working as designed. 1. Aged care system declines/delays assessments and provision of assistance sometimes long enough that people die waiting. 2. Pet insurance isn’t worth the cost in premiums. 3. AI steals your voice then your job.

Why do you bother posting this question & turn comments off? If you don't actually want questions submitted then remove this post... 🙄 Does anyone have a question for the RBA's Deputy Governor? #AusPol youtube.com/post/UgkxQ7i... @australia.theguardian.com

youtube.com/watch?v=xqTY... Folks from @theshot.net.au discussing the recent Herzog spectacle and the ensuing police response to a peaceful protest and prayer from the religious community. We’ve watched the horror story out of Minnesota this week. How do we stop police and govt overreach? #Auspol

“80 Years to choose her. 276 Days to dump her,” tweets @kossamaras.bsky.social #auspol #LibSplits

Still true #auspol #Australia

Feel like we need to talk about the fact that Tony Abbot on ABC 730 last night called for a reintroduction of the White Australia Policy. And that in the next interview Tehan refused to disagree with what the former PM had said. #auspol

NSW Police admit the Muslim men had received police permission to pray during the Sydney protest before they were disrupted by officers! Imagine the media outrage if this had been a Jewish group or a group of Catholic nuns! #SydneyProtest www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Steve the Otter is following me now. Happy days.

Rats desert ship. Live… Or perhaps dead. If Angus Taylor of many dodgy deals fame is the answer, what was the question?

Australian Census on University Staff Wellbeing results are out. Every uni recorded scores indicating high/very high psych risk. And in news surprising no one, "only senior execs and deans rated their workplaces as medium or low risk while all other staff groups reported high-risk conditions."

Nala answering more bullshit from Albanese.

If, like me, you're a Labor voter (with Labor values), oppose genocide, I implore you to vote Greens or Independent, then Labor, with the LNP and One Nation still last on your ballot at both your state and the next Federal election. Please. 🙏 #SApol #VICpol #NSWpol #auspol #AusVotes #FreePalestine

take your time, guys. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Bloody splitters. (It isn't split yet, but will be. The splitters are legion, rampant.)

#auspol please read and share around a free press is the only option

A heavily redacted cartoon. My @smh cartoon.

Guilty as charged.

There is no rest for a Transparency Warrior. An #FOI a day stops democracy decay. #Gina #influence #auspol

Another thoughtful & informative episode #SundayShot #AusPol Welcome back 💙

The Sunday Shot is Baaaack! 9am!

Time to catch the episodes I missed in this series Actually has left me feeling hopeful despite the feeling of doom hovering over so many things right now youtu.be/I9VKeKGao9M?...

I've been experiencing this masterpiece so many times since it was released #RenGill #StarryNight It synthesises what we are witnessing across the world. I'm over the excuses being made. The compliance, the lack of empathy for others. Enough! youtu.be/MTn_bhTVr2U?...

There was zero chance of Hastie ever ending up as PM. And Australians have already profoundly dumped Angus Taylor and his shambolic attempts to lead them

Reading this in Margaret Pomeranz voice

Some thoughts about the arrest of Don Lemon. www.pbump.net/o/its-worse-...

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

She’s made of dreams stitched together from circumstance and hope. She stands on the edges of things, cliffs & train platforms, contemplating endings. But she is bound to life. She buys a balloon & imagines it lifting her beyond rooftops watching poems sing far below. #vssdaily cliff #vss365 dream

Happy New Year, everyone! May 2026 be a year of far greater kindness, compassion, inclusion, thoughtfulness, respect and care, for individuals, communities and the natural world.

Happy New Year all. 🍾🥂

Thank you 2025 for a new start. Hello 2026 - Hoping for the best 🤞 🎇🎆

Less than 10mins to go,we’ve done it,what a shocker 2025 was. HA!😂😂😂Ian

Not surprising that Israel’s list of most “antisemitic” Australians is only a list of people against genocide and contains not one far-right/Nazi. 🫡 to those on the list

My funniest thing about 2025 in a purely Australian context is that Barbaby Joyce was pushed out of the Nats by the force of public opinion (imagine that!), and joined Hanson's One Nation where failure goes to be fossilised.

And we have lift-off! A galah near Port Wakefield.
