"Unless we can resolve the housing crisis, wealth will become much more unequally distributed in Australia. If the Albanese govt fails to pursue proper policy reform, they "risk our social coherence and thus the foundations of our democracy". #inequality #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

Gambling regulation in Aus is a national disgrace. The govt has ignored the Murphy Report & repeatedly blocked my bill to hold gambling giants accountable. If they won’t listen to evidence, experts or the crossbench, they should at least listen to the community. #auspol #politas

We've had enough fine doctors telling us how bad things are. Govt's don't care. The "International Community"-a myth-is not coming to save #Gaza. It's now up to the ORDINARY person (YOU!) to cause economic disruption. 🚨 Wed, Oct 8th. No Work. No Spending. #GazaDayOff #AUSPOL #FreeGAZA

The Premier & the Opp Leader would build the stadium against the advice of every expert & the will of a majority of the community. And it’s our children & their children who will have to pay for it. Want a corflute? Go here nonewstadium.au/getasign/ #politas #auspol

If the applause stops, Trump’s illusion of power shatters. Quantico showed the first crack. The task now falls to generals, leaders, journalists, chief executives and citizens alike to widen it until the noise of democracy drowns out the man who mistakes clapping for command. #auspol #USpolitics

📌 Wisdom drop. But, don’t give up on being kind and humble. Hate bogs people down with their piggy banks of memories not involving you. Being vulnerable and open is a calculated risk in 2025. I will not lose myself in the rampant rage surrounding us.

Women belong in the House and the Senate. Today marks 82 years since Enid Lyons and Labor's Dorothy Tangney entered the doors of Old Parliament House together as the first women in Australia to be elected to the House and the Senate.

Way to go, Australia. #auspol #aupol #FreePalestine #StopTheGenocide #FuckIsrael

REALLY sick of Australian MSM echoing U.S./MAGA BS

The world is dividing into pro-humanity and pro-fascism. Currently Australia is siding with the fascists. This needs to stop @albomp.bsky.social Change sides be on the side of humanity. #auspol If that means ditching allies so be it. The people are rising against oppression worldwide side with them.

Cost of living is rising in Australia – but migrants are not the cause. “People have really felt the squeeze, but migration isn't the issue here and blaming migrants is not going to fix the problem.” - Matt Grudnoff, Senior Economist @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social #auspol

#Indigenous people genuinely need your support against #Fascism in #Australia. We literally can't stop these people because they don't see us as human, and our numbers are too small. Our voice is silenced by both of these things. No matter how loudly we shout. Please, #Fight with us, #auspol.

What Congressional Democrats can do as the minority is limited, but governors can run states very differently. They can stop cooperating with the feds. Red states ban abortion, blue states provide it. Texas deploys its National Guard to the border, but blue ones refuse. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Slavery's Brutal Arc and Why Trump's "Revision" is a Dangerous CoverUp When Donald Trump orders a review of how slavery is taught, downplaying the horrors of chattel slavery in America, we must confront the full scope of what he's trying to obscure. open.substack.com/pub/mjfree/p...

It’s taken years for Australia to ban three types of forever chemicals. But Europe plans to ban thousands of these chemicals to avoid future issues.

“Poverty is one of the most expensive policy choices we continue to make.” #auspol

For the first time in human history, an entire calendar year averaged more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. That’s the threshold the Paris Agreement set as the line we should never cross. Yet 2024 came in at 1.55°C. #climatecrisis #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/climate...

The mistreatment of prisoners like Marwan Barghouti is a crime under international law. Are we willing to do what it takes to save Marwan Barghouti and the Palestinian people? @bobbobnz #auspol #Israel #MarwanBarghouti

DESTROYED: 500 tons of high energy biscuits that could feed 27,000 starving children for one month were locked up in Dubai following the elimination of USAID. World Food Program offered to distribute the biscuits if the US was not. Instead, the US incinerated the all 500 tons of biscuits.

In a stunning blow to global aid, the US quietly dismantled USAID, ending decades of life-saving humanitarian work. womensagenda.com.au/latest/vale-...

We’re calling on the Australian Govt to commit to a fossil fuel-free COP31. But here’s the kicker: banning fossil fuel corporations and their lobbyists would not only show Australia is serious about climate leadership, but it might even help us win the bid. Add your name: theaus.in/ban-fossil-f...

The tax system is not merely an instrument for raising revenue. It is also an important tool for distributing national income to minimise the harmful impacts of wealth inequality that can erode social cohesion, harm economic growth & lead to political instability. #Auspol

When do we short-circuit the re-run of this pitiful, shameful, painful cycle? We witness the innocent unimaginably suffer, the unaffected sit as inert spectators only to act after thousands have been killed. How much longer before we declare: Never again, Gaza? #Auspol #Genocide

This warmongering fucker needs to be impeached And if you're offended by my language, consider that I'm a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer and presidential historian who has done more research on the fact that Trump and Netanyahu planned this war for years than anyone writing in English

On ABC Radio I discussed the review of the AUKUS deal by the US & the opportunity it provides for Aus. We could ditch nuclear submarines & instead go with technology we can afford & sustain, is better matched to our region & can be deployed in effective numbers. #politas #auspol

I'm fine with Albo's line that “kindness is a strength, compassion is a strength, and we are stronger as a country when we care for the vulnerable in our society”. But if he leaves 3 million in poverty, after "no-one left behind", his "care" rings hollow. #auspol thepolitics.com.au/politics-its...

Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again

Long past time for Australia to become part of our region and break the colonial umbilical cord.

Miriam Margolyes OBE has a message for the Australian Government: ‘Never let it be said that Australia assisted in starving a nation to death.’

Almost 600 First Nation deaths in custody since 1991. Over 34 years that’s an average of nearly 18 deaths each year since the findings of The Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (RCIADIC). This statistic is beyond shameful. #nomore #justice #auspol #firstnations 🖤💛💔

At some point we've got to start asking .. are we the good guys? Trump Musk blow-up, #EpsteinFiles #Israel #China Australia needs an urgent inquiry into Foreign Affairs, #AUKUS & defence #auspol michaelwest.com.au/musk-has-the...

Amazes me that people are excited about crowdfunding (eg GoFundMe). "What a concept! People contribute small amounts so that $$ aggregates and helps individuals really in need". True. But (checks notes)...that's what TAXES do, and more efficiently. And without making people beg/ask for money.

“I struggle for adjectives to adequately describe the horror that this administration has visited on the world,” said a former State Department official. “It keeps me up at night.”

When will human rights be more important than private businesses? Children are dying, saying something is “untenable” is not good enough. Palestine has a right to exist. @anthony-albanese.bsky.social #auspol declassifiedaus.org/2025/04/26/c...
