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

Funny how the Australian government is determined to cut waste from fraud in the NDIS but won't touch the AUKUS submarine deal, which is entirely a fraud perpetrated by the US

@australianlabor.bsky.social too gutless to hold providers accountable, too gutless to tax gas, just brave enough to pit the elderly against the disabled. #auspol

No doubt many sectors and programs need to be re-structured for better efficiency and service for the end user - but cutting the NDIS under the backdrop of increasing defence spending by multiple of billions of dollars to placate the US - is shameful #npc #auspol

Genetically engineered T-cells are on a mission to obliterate cancer cells. A breakthrough in cancer treatment that could change lives forever.

Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.  Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

Not only is her recovery complete. Soon Sienna will be heading off to her very own family. After years on the streets and endless puppies taken from her she will get the life she always deserved!

The Senate’s Select Committee on the Taxation of Gas Resources will today hear from the members and friends of gas industry on why paying something to us for our gas will have a devastating effect on the cartel’s executive bonus scheme. I have my tissue box at the ready. #auspol

It should worry you that the One Nation candidate on track to win Farrer thinks it is "above his paygrade" whether Gina Rinehart is funding the party. www.deepcutnews.com/p/legacy-med...

Sydney's much-loved community radio station 2SER-FM is under imminent threat. We've started a petition to go to UTS, (the uni that will make the call). WE DON'T WANT MONEY, just your support. Can you help? c.org/xnykpfBd7r Please share.

A great lesson about smart and dumb politicians. Well done Japan.

You’ve seen this before but the BBC has put it all together. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Say one word about turtle eggs being eaten by foxes and there is tons of support for fixing the problem. But you can lose even a whole year's worth (maybe a decade) of eggs, and not come close to the impact that losing a few females has on a population's stability, let alone a whole wetland.

The fact there was a mass shooting with EIGHT dead today and it barely made the front page of any news site tells you everything you need to know how fucked up we are as a country. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/us/shreveport-mass-shooting-dead-children.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

The new head of the Australian military is taking his first international trip to the US as part of the $375 billion AUKUS scam. While there, he will be the keynote speaker at a $ 5,000-a-head corporate event run by former Minister for Defence Industry Christopher Pyne. The system is rigged.

Great piece, @robbieb.bsky.social He's SO right. What a legacy for Uni bosses... to lay waste to our cultural landscape? Silence the voices of the next generation?. Is this what you signed on for?? WRONG WAY! GO BACK!

The University of Technology in Sydney is poised to close community radio station 2SER-FM. Here's my opinion piece in the Sydney Morning Herald, arguing that it would be pure folly to do so.

As pointed out by @sprocket0.bsky.social, SkyNews Aus has a reporter following Trump. His name is Matt Hampson. His main role is to ask the Mad King leading questions about Australia. His "answers" are then reported here by the News Corp (especially The Oz), who then demand the PM answer in return.

Terrific piece by Laura Tingle - no pay wall on our national broadcaster www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

everything is pissing me off today

“The devastation of it all is heartbreaking.” Can we cut off the water supply to humans instead, please. Just like its LNP predecessor, the @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social Labor government is a disaster on every level. #auspol #nswpol #EnvironmentalDestruction www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Bluesky being down reminded me of how much I depend on this site for news coverage and all your recommendations, so thank you, one and all. And taking a tour of X last night (which I sometimes do), reminded me of why I no longer post there. Ergh. Increasingly, it's a toxic waste dump.

New accusations that One Nation are operating as a pyramid scheme are part of a long-running pattern. Read Karen Middleton on the candidates left thousands of dollars out of pocket:

Great journalism from Sarah Martin - www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

#FascistFluffers of #Australia - #auspol.

Not sure what’s worse, Matt Canavan claiming he “wasn’t listening” to Qs on party donor Gina Rinehart flying his political opponents O/Nation to fundraisers - coz he’s busy “tweeting” or that he’s tweeting about a non-existent flag controversy Totally unfit to be leader. #auspol

Extremely concerning. An important expose from @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social‬ Ette Media. Savaging academics and authors for $$ is a disgrace. It's the sort of thing that advertisers might want to be wary of? Having your brand tied to this is 2026? Hmm.

F**k!😬

Pauline Hanson has become a very rich woman on the back of Australian taxpayers. Always follow the money #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Huge proliferation in Australia of AI slop vibe-coded "fuel dashboards" spreading disinformation, usually for right-wing pro-fossil blog sites and PR outfits like News Corp www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

I recently did my citizenship ceremony Not only are there Australian values, but they are clear and proud of them in the ceremony There were people from over 75 other nations in that one ceremony I guarantee every one of those people is far more aware and proud of Aussie values than Taylor
