Ed Husic models what all Labor MPs and Senators should practice, and Anthony Albanese should support: robust debate on key issues, and courage to speak the truth. Such a pity that the PM expects his caucus members to be as 'disciplined' [aka spineless] as himself. #auspol

"UQP has indulged the complaints and outrage of lobby groups actively complicit in laundering Australia's economic and political investments in genocide, causing extreme distress to your staff and authors." Shamefully, UQP has put #ZionistMcCarthyism ahead of integrity. #auspol

"Francesca Albanese is trying to stop a genocide. That is her crime. United States and Israel are trying to stop her – by destroying her life, her career, her family, and her voice." Please sign and repost. This petition is aimed at the EU, but should be also supported by people outside Europe.

Pauline Hanson has a rant about Schrödinger's immigrant…

Governments preach rights, law, dignity. But every state runs on two constitutions: the shiny written one … and the real one, etched in silence — the boot, the unmarked grave, the killing they refuse to punish. That gap isn’t failure. It’s policy. Tomorrow’s BnB.

Don’t listen to what governments say, watch what they do … there are always two constitutions, one written the other unwritten … or … put more simply … policy by other means … official and unofficial… blakandblack.com/2026/04/22/w...

Good report on an obscene act by absolutely cowed administrators

No Is a Complete Sentence You do not owe anyone an explanation of why your answer is no. You do not have to justify your limits or apologize for having them. 'No' is not rude. It is not unkind. It is honest — and it is yours to give freely. Where in your life does a boundary need honoring?

Yesterday we enjoyed fabulous views of Orcas as they cruised from Burra south and then east to Sumburgh, Shetland. We identified them as four members of the '140s' pod - one of the least known and recorded pods in Shetland waters. 🖤🤍 #MarineLife #MarineMammals #CetaceansUK #UKWildlife

"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and LLMs. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich." Read more: buff.ly/Yu2AUFy

“The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.” —Justice Robert H. Jackson, Chief American Prosecutor, Nuremberg, 1946

Sarah Ferguson asks if we should ‘give something back’ to gas giants in exchange for a tax. David Pocock “why we bargain with them?” “I don’t think we need to give anything back. We just want a return for our gas!” 🔥 #auspol

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

Don't think she ever "fell." She was pushed aside by an inadequate man because she was demonstrating she was better at the Post Office gig than other inadequate men Mate of mine has worked for "Toll" for a long time. Tells me it has never run better than since Ms Holgate arrived

Natalie Barr was just as disgraceful, insisting that Australians on the NDIS are “milking it” We have a gas inquiry on, Barr conveniently ignoring the actual milking by the gas giants. Not a word on the billions we lose each year in resource revenue.

Bridget McKenzie, who resigned in disgrace over Sports Rorts, tells Sunrise that the NDIS will only survive if we “stop the rorting.” Extraordinary hypocrisy. From the same party that left the NDIS without fraud protections for a decade. #auspol

Sarah Hanson-Young shreds the QLD Resources Council for recycling the same old arguments against a Tax on Gas that they used against QLD Labor’s Coal royalties in 2022, revealing there’s “more” Coal mines now than in 2022 SHY: “In 2022 there were 52, there’s now 58!”💥 #auspol

It gets worse. Pocock continues to smash Wake on Shell’s “tricky accounting”, who provides how much Shell invests, but refuses to provide revenue. “You can’t even tell me that part of the equation, which I find very odd. You can tell me all your expenses, but not your revenue”💥

David Pocock beside himself as Shell’s Cecile Wake insists she doesn’t know Shell’s revenue, or how much gas they export, while she fronts an inquiry on Gas Exports. Sarah Hanson-Young: “What did you think we were going to be asking you about today?” 🔥🙄 #auspol

SHY accused BCA of refusing to reveal which members they consulted, questioning if it would be bcoz they are mostly ‘pro’ taxing the gas industry, even including the likes of CBA CEO Matt Comyn. Yep, you can see how that would be embarrassing. Not a valid reason to hide it tho.

Sarah Hanson-Young skewers BCA Chief Exec Bran Black after he tries to keep his "consultations" secret while he lobbies against taxing gas giants. SHY: “Embarrassment is not a stance for public interest immunity.” “You can’t hide because it’s uncomfortable for you.” 🔥 #auspol

What a great idea. Let's just cut through the mountain of gas BS.

Fuck the billionaire class - classic NIMBY’s.

He's not wrong, @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social. 25% tax on gas exports, now.

The US accusing another country of being aggressive. Do fuck off. #AusPol

27 years since the Columbine High School massacre. 27 years of failing to protect our kids. 27 years without common-sense gun laws. I watched it as a student. Now it’s only gotten worse for our kids. We need an assault weapons ban.

My favourite line so far from the Gas Tax committee is Susan McDonald "I probably know more than 20,000 people who work directly and fairly closely directly with the gas industry." C'mon Susan, the Santos corporate box for the Wallabies vs Argentina Rugby Test Match wasn't that big
