I presume Barnaby will be resigning from his seat post haste #yeahnah #hypocrite

How do you get to distance yourself from politically/ideologically loaded donations made by your husband, while wanting to directly influence the funding of institutions that have nothing to do with you?

Either Albanese knew about Segal's relationship with Advance, in which case his judgement is atrocious, or he failed to apply basic due diligence, in which case his judgement is atrocious. But, no doubt, there'll be zero consequences. Most media won't even report it. #auspol

Jillian Segal and her cohorts, constantly reference something called "legitimate" or "acceptable" criticism of Israel. Define exactly what "legitimate" or "acceptable" criticism of Israel is? Where? When? If you demand to legislate it, then you should be able to show examples of it - what is it?

I can't even 🤷🤮 www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

Some great and logical ideas here www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

"First, as an indulgence taken purely on behalf of readers, let us agree that the federal Coalition can be put aside. That seems only fair, given that the Coalition seems so determined to be irrelevant." #ouch www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Approving this would be the greatest giveaway of Australia’s natural resources ever. $200 billion +of Australia’s gas given royalty free to Woodside. It is against Australia’s national interest. Selling Australians out to corporate interests. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Other countries tax their oil and gas industries. Australia subsidies ours. Our research found while gas prices boomed in 2022, LNG companies made windfall gains of up to $40 billion. PRRT take increased by less than $1 billion. It's time to fix the tax loopholes that Big Gas exploits. #auspol

Well worth a watch, some great points youtube.com/live/woXgovt...

Canada sub proposal: 12 large Air Independent Propulsion subs with first delivery in 2032 for AUD$27B. Low US dependence. Australia #AUKUS sub scheme: 8 nuclear subs with (an unlikely) first delivery in 2035 for AUD$368B. Total US dependence. 🤦‍♂️ #auspol

Seeing Dutton trying to smile while casting his vote was hilarious

Independent candidate Alex Dyson is leading senior Liberal incumbent Dan Tehan in the Victorian seat of Wannon A new poll from YouGov – which looked at 12 regional seats between 17-24 April (6% MoE) – shows Dyson with 57% of the two-candidate-preferred vote to Tehan’s 43%

Interesting read theconversation.com/what-2-000-y...

But he’s not a monster 😩😩 Unfit to be a MP let alone our PM #DontRiskDutton #auspol

This rubbish authorised by the LNP - B.Riley 281 Sandgate Road. Prime example by of why we need truth in political advertising laws in Australia. #auspol #Australia #media #politics

Shadow health minister Anne Ruston refuses to commit to matching Labor's urgent care clinic plan #auspol www.skynews.com.au/australia-ne...

Only Independents with the balance of power in a minority government will deliver the ban on gambling advertising that an overwhelming majority of Australians want. The major parties lack the courage to do it.

I highly recommend watching this special 90+ minute Sunday Shot. If not today then sometime this week. Great to hear from Alex Fein again re the election. Plus Dave's excellent interview with Nasser Mashni re Palestine & the consequences for the world. A lot to take in from all but time well spent ✌️

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

This piece is a bit bleak, but it's a banger. If we are to meet our critical moment in history, we need to reckon with the reality that we are not up against adversaries we have seen before. We are up against end times fascism. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Australia has actually got out of this #tariff disaster relatively lightly. Lowest tariff category, and excluding copper, pharmaceuticals, gold and "energy and other certain minerals that are not available in the United States". Beef is in though. Won't stop the media and LNP claiming "weakness"

I doubt I'm the only one who looks back on the Gillard Government as having been so successful precisely because Gillard had to negotiate with the Noalition & crossbench in both chambers. A minority Labor government with a competent Noalition opposition & a diverse crossbench? Bring it on! #AusPol

In case you had any doubts, Dutton plans to destroy the #ABC as well as Medicare, education and renewables. #auspol

The idea that #Dutton could do the same thing as #ClownTrump in Australia is horrifying but conceivable. We must resist. Fascism comes quickly but leaves with blood, pain and death. Resist we must

ABC's #Insiders is now #SkyNews on Sunday. Smarmy Liberal Party fanboy David Speers blatantly uses the program to push the LNP agenda. It is not fair or balanced. It does not accurately reflect the current Parliament (rarely interviewing Teal independents.) It is not journalism. #auspol #AusVotes25

Remember #auspol. When Dutton says he can handle Trump, it means he can surrender to Trump's every demand. That's still handling him, and technically isn't lying.

For the record, Joe Hockey is a defence lobbyist who stands to make millions from defence contracts with the US and other allies. To just describe him in interviews as a former US ambassador and not his CURRENT vested interest role is not just irresponsible, it's lying.

"The only way to allow federal ministers to impose punishments is to change the Constitution through a referendum that inserts a new provision overriding separation of powers rules." Is this really about getting ready for a Trump style overriding the courts?

Australia doesn’t have a gas "shortage" crisis. It has an integrity crisis. This week AEMO will release its annual Gas Statement of Opportunities. Before the onslaught of headlines of "catastrophic gas shortages", let's get a few things straight. 🧵 (1/5) #auspol #climate

"It won’t necessarily be the end of the world, but it may be the end of any human civilisation worthy of the name." theconversation.com/the-end-of-c...

Just imagine this in Australia. This is what I miss in Australian politics. Well worth the watch, despite the rhetoric youtube.com/watch?v=LiAu...

#AUKUS makes no sense in this context (not that it ever made sense). We could have nuclear subs from the French much earlier, who knows what was driving the #LNP (well we do). Not that subs are likely to help if my limited reading of defence experts is any guide (so could be wrong)

The Trump administration fired employees who were building a system to manage satellite traffic in space, weakening a key project that was aimed at preventing incidents like satellite collisions reut.rs/3XnhmKG

Reuters has confirmed that, while Russian state news agency TASS is allowed to cover the meeting between Pres. Zelenskyy of Ukraine and POTUS, both Reuters and the Associated Press were banned. They are not even trying to hide it anymore.

Al-Jazeera is mostly backing #Trump it seems 😱

This is an excellent article demonstrating how the west and it's media are conspiring with Israel to make genocide inevitable.

ICYMI: Ahmed Ouf, Palestine supporter, independent candidate for Blaxland. His 12yo son and another boy were mowed down by a ute. In Westmead Hospital, both boys have serious injuries. Reports: GuardianAus, DailyTele. STILL zero coverage on ABC News website. #auspol #Islamophobia #AusVotes2025

Art! What even is it and who decides? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Every time News Corp and the ABC say the Dutton GFC share scandal came from a “Labor dirt unit”, they are spreading lies. Used to it from News Corp, but disappointed in the ABC.

IPA Senator James Paterson whinging about Labor ‘dirt units’ 🙄 #ABC730 This you bro? 👇🏼

It will always be thus. I never understood why Keating allowed Rupert to take out the Herald and Weekly Times because this to me has partially led to this mess (ignoring the clusterf*ck that is the US at the moment)

#DannyPrice from #FrontierEconomics is pathetically petty… first he injects shoddy analysis into the australian policy debate, then he refuses to share the outputs with the #ClimateChangeAuthority. (#PeterDutton's entire economic case for nuclear relies on frontier's sloppy work.)
