Fact check: Trump/Netanyahu war on Iran. *60% enriched uranium stored in Isfahan remains unrecovered; *Strait of Hormuz remains inoperable to uninsurable/unprotected oil tankers; *IRGC remains in control of Iran = no regime change; *Global economy/alliances/trade/fuel prices disrupted.

Working from home and a better work/life balance is proven to increase productivity and improve mental health and wellbeing, which will have a positive ripple effect on so many aspects of our society, including health and education …but multinationals want their blood for profits, eh Murdoch?

ICYMI- yesterday's cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com

Australian state and federal governments provided $16.3 billion in subsidies to fossil fuel producers and major users in 2025-26, according to new research from The Australia Institute”. This is a pretty screwed up way up address climate change, @australianlabor.bsky.social.

Hey David Speers if you’re going to start calling progressive green electoral candidates “climate 200 candidates “ then you’re obliged to call Nats and One Nation participants “IPA/Rinehart candidates. It’s only fair. #insiders

Watching ABC Insiders (so you don’t have to) but it’s a perfect illustration of the vacancy of Australian politics. Interviewing Barnaby Joyce in a big hat and then Matthew Knott and Jane Norman trying to explain energy policy. It’s embarrassing

Release the Epstein files.

Opinion | "Morrison was the cabinet minister responsible for both Social Services and DHS matters, and if he was a “junior” minister in the Coalition government, then he was also seen as its biggest conservative rising star," writes @squigglyrick.bsky.social. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/13/n...

I get it. The only thing preventing me from winning a Grammy is that everyone keeps telling me I can’t sing.

Justice under the Duopoly is NOT assured Robodebt is a clear example of that www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A headline with a question like this is frankly, trying to gaslight Australians. Let's be clear Pine Gap directly assists the targeting of people and locations in this illegal war against Iran - that's NOT defensive, it's offensive action 𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐈𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐀𝐍 𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐋 𝐖𝐀𝐑

"The game is up; we don’t buy the propaganda anymore. Just as we don’t buy Albanese’s defence for calling me difficult." www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/13/g...

Surely Australia’s not going to enter this monumental clusterfuck of a war, dictated entirely by the incoherent whims of this dementing, delusional lunatic, right?

WAR is not the answer!!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

What role do we play through Pine Gap and in our presence in the Middle East, in the assassination of global leaders, the bombing of cities, civilians, schools, hospitals? We know the answer 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐔𝐄𝐒? www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/world/2...

“Breathtaking nonsense” is just one of Rick Morton’s thoughts on the NACC’s long-awaited robodebt report, which dismissed corruption allegations against Scott Morrison as well as three others, and in doing so flatly rejected the royal commission’s findings.

Oh, are the Queensland government abusing their power? What a shock

🎯

The EU calls for the need for international rule of law, Carney showed middle powers navigating their own course .. Australia in the Middle East claiming impotence over GENOCIDE, now projecting power and speaking in the language of security and moral clarity??? michaelwest.com.au/moral-double...

“Fossil fuel subsidies harm the budget and make climate change worse,” said Rod Campbell, Research Director at The Australia Institute. Read more: https://theaus.in/4lpmqJq

Great. So if you write to BlueSky support about a violation of your intellectual property, they reply telling you to contact another email address, which replies telling you to contact BlueSky support.

Murdoch’s top headline on the same day Scott Morrison, LNP’s 5 x Secret Minister PM and overlord of the unlawful Robodebt scheme which cruelly targeted over half a million innocent Australians, yet again, escaped any accountability by the pointless NACC

We can stop AUKUS! getup.to/Py5PATpCPdKuK

A lawsuit filed by hero officers over the Jan 6 memorial plaque will continue after being installed years after the date required by law and hung up in a place that is no better than a basement storage area that isn’t at all visible to the public. Fascist republicans are evil.

What a fucking crock. Two mid-level officials found to be corrupt by the NACC, but the big guns get off scot-free forever.

In a democratic government, Labor MPs would be loudly alarmed at their party’s response to the illegal war on Iran… and Gaza www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“It’s not even that we’ve turned away, but that the Labor party has currently proven itself to be inconsistent with [our] values,” Yasmin Poole tells Crikey. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/10/a...

Exactly why we voted for Catherine Connolly as our president. She speaks the truth with integrity, unlike sleeveen career politicians. extra.ie/2026/03/09/n...

I think it’s time to take our country back from politicians who do the bidding of powerful people in other countries, and have made us the servants of the US. How do we go about firing Albanese, tearing up AUKUS and kicking every American servicemen out of the country and take the bases back?

"It’s time for a radical shift [in Greens' allegiances]. Rather than backing Labor against the LNP and Hanson, it’s necessary to point out that they are all on the same side: for Trump and therefore against global democracy." - @johnquiggin.bsky.social 1/2 open.substack.com/pub/johnquig...

2/2 'The only US ally to join the conflict as a war of choice so far has been the neo-fascist and openly Trumpist Italian government of Giorgia Meloni. It now appears that Australia will follow suit. 'The Albanese government’s conduct here is of a piece with a string of recent Trumpist gestures.'

Opinion | As the Iran war turns more grisly and disruptive, Anthony Albanese’s support for it might yet prove costly, writes Bernard Keane. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/09/a...

the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Maybe Penny Wong can explain to us why Australian troops should be sent to die in a war started by a felon and child rapist? #auspol

You are betraying Australia @senatorwong.bsky.social #TraitorWong. #auspol

🚨Keir Starmer’s plan to strip the right to jury trials from offences carrying up to three years imprisonment will place the country on a path toward authoritarian justice. Is that what people voted for? CONTACT YOUR MP NOW before it’s too late! youtu.be/mXTpGebSSB8?...

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Violence is the last resort of the incompetent. Izaac Azimov. Foundation series It suggests that resorting to violence indicates a lack of skill or ability to resolve issues through more intelligent means.

Don't let the new and escalating horror that Israel and the US are perpetrating overshadow Gaza. This from Richard Engle, chief foreign correspondent for NBC News, last week. #Gaza

Australia needs to read its own geography. As AU deepens its alignment with Washington through AUKUS & expanded military integration, it risks compromising the regional trust & autonomy that underpin its long-term prosperity & security. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03... A? UKUS are failing states.

"Howard tied us to America so tightly, it would take a world-altering event to unshackle us. The tragic truth is though, even then, we would probably be on America’s side, even if it meant our own destruction," writes @amyremeikis.bsky.social. Read more on The Point: https://theaus.in/40My2MZ

“The royal commission is about both antisemitism and social cohesion, and if there is not going to be an examination of Islamophobia, that is really concerning," he told the ABC. "Muslim Australians should not feel [like] they have to beg for protection." www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

for all of us who need this particular gospel sometimes:

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.
