The Labor government should really have asked Metallica about Napster. They're forcing kids to be internet outlaws in order to hang with peers online, rather than forcing tech companies to get nazis off their sites & have proper moderation. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

I’ll be honest, I’m not finding this constant stream of “we have unfortunately misled you” by the NACC very reassuring

An Australian, tasked with explaining this to people from another country: "Yeah, nah. Can't."

The #ALP rightly spoke up for the #CSIRO funding cuts under the COALition however it is now too busy funding nuclear subs to care. Tell the #ALP to restore funding to our chief #Science agency. Here's a petition put up by #CPSU. Please consider signing #Auspol

300 more jobs (read, people) to go from the CSIRO. These cuts are on top of the 800 suppport roles already gone. Australia needs science innovation. And the CSIRO should have government funding certainty. You're losing us, @albomp.bsky.social. #auspol csirostaff.org.au/news/media/2...

Hear, hear!

COALition energy policy has all the relevance and cogency as a Betamax Video player. Why is anyone paying attention to this non-policy? Irrelevant, poor faith, and insulting to the intelligence. #Auspol #ClimateCriminals #KeepItInTheGround #Pilliga #Blockade2025

Ahem. Say hiii to the brand-new, updated 2026 edition of Girl Stuff for the 8-12s: first periods; body changes, friends & bullies, confidence, mental health, heroines, healthy eating, & so much more. Equip them to be themselves in the face of hard sell ads & social pressures. #ChristmasIsComing

This part fascinates me the most. Labor and their rusted-ons ready to lie baldly for their beloved fossil fuel companies and lobbies! 💪 #auspol

Breaking: The police officer charged with assaulting fmr Greens candidate Hannah Thomas on June 27 has been charged again for recklessly causing grievous bodily harm which carries a max penalty of 14yrs in prison. NSW cops only just realised months later & added this on? Ffs🙄🚩

The #ALP engage in more horse trading with the #LNP in a race to the environmental cliff edge. With large sections of the bill still unclear, the bits we can see are shamefully inept. #EPBCAct #EPA #Auspol #ClimateCrisis

So, Australia collects 43 cents per $100 of exported gas. Qatar collects 46 DOLLARS per $100 of exported gas And Norway collects 56 DOLLARS per $100 of exported oil This is not just a piss take ... it's the out and out theft of our natural resources. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

The ALP is simply not interested in protecting our natural spaces, fauna or flora. Certainly not interested in trying to limit future emissions by considering them with development applications. #EnvironmentalFailure #ClimateCriminals #Auspol

🥳 Renewables just overtook coal in Australia’s grid for the first time! The same story globally in early 2025. But: Australia still exports more fossil fuel emissions than we produce at home — and we don’t count them. 🛑 Join the People’s Blockade: www.risingtide.org.au/pb2025 📷 @theguardian.com

The Weekend Australian's 'exclusive' about ABC having an 'anti-Israel bias' relied on a former ABC staff member. What The Australian and Cameron Stewart didn't reveal, is he had volunteered for Advance Australia while working at the public broadcaster. www.lamestream.com.au/exclusive-pr...

The Australian govt should immediately announce $500m funding for mRNA vaccine development. Get those scientists here. Just an amazing opportunity handed to us by the brain worm infested loon.

Check out this absolute mansion of an #osprey nest. Gotta wonder how many years of adding sticks this took to build. 🦅🪺 #OzBirds #birding #WildOz #Rottnest

Hear, hear.

From the first sniff of the PwC crisis the word from within was ‘just wait it out’. Labor Govt needs the backbone to persist.

Well, well, well. Just like that, young people can be enfranchised. Who'd have thunk it? #auspol? #NZPol?

The Greens stand with Raelene Cooper and Save Our Songlines for the protection of rock art exemplifying tens of thousands of years of culture. We want to see this global treasure listed as World Heritage. What we don’t want is to see it destroyed by acidic emissions from Woodside.

Finally. Here we go, Guardian. Get into it!

Arts Minister Tony Burke confirms Khaled Subsabi and Michael Agostino have been re-commissioned by Creative Australia for the Venice Biennale, after the duo was dumped over past works after questions in parliament were raised about past works. #auspol

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07... Now that a court has made this entirely obvious point perhaps even the universities can understand it.

Every death in custody is unacceptable - and police investigating themselves is a recipe for mistrust and poor accountability. No more police marking their own homework - we need a properly-resourced, independent police oversight body.

Hear, hear!

[FEB 2025] 'Before launching legal action, Ms Lattouf had asked the ABC for compensation of $85,000, a public apology and reinstatement as a fill-in radio presenter.' www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

The ABC sacked our colleague because of her political opinion and to appease a lobby group, the court found. And they spent more than $1 million on ridiculous defences including the she was never sacked and there is no such thing as a Lebanese race. Time for the ABC to rethink how it treats staff.

Brilliant move.

Here's @omarsakr.bsky.social, making his debut on The Shot. "The end of reality"

It is with deep sorrow and extremely heavy hearts that we share the news of the sudden death of our friend, our colleague, long-standing member and councillor for Ward 3, Sinead Francis-Coan on Monday 23 June 2025 after a short illness 1/4

Us neither...

We thought the coalition was getting quite enough (justifiable) heat...

"Is glue on a pizza so bad really? After all, we know it was a traditional dish of the Anzacs at the Battle of Agincourt."

Slow news day, huh? Anything we might be interested in?

Massive congratulations to @parentsforclimate.bsky.social for launching the legal action against EnergyAustralia and securing a landmark result: an apology for greenwashing and a commitment to direct emission reduction. Well done to Equity Generation Lawyers as well. Have a read:

Mail biting!

“The richest 1 percent of Americans now has more wealth than the bottom 90 percent combined.” Thx @rbreich.bsky.social for another eye opener … Glad that Australians saw through the attempt to use culture wars to divide us … now we just need to ditch AUKUS #Auspol

I make the case that recent discussion of an 'opioid crisis' narrows the focus of public policy, and ignores how criminalisation and stigmatisation of people who use drugs create and exacerbate the conditions most likely to lead to overdose.

Hear, hear Dave. Politics is brutal. 44% of the primary vote dropping to 41% is enough to tip out the incumbent as here. Lessons, yes, of course. Direction and strategic vision change? No.

Wow, this piece by David Hardaker on Australian politics. #auspol thepolitics.com.au/behind-every...

Let the recriminations, slurs, back biting and squabbles begin in earnest. You know they need it. They've certainly deserved it. Not only did the #LNP not have any credible policies, at all, the only ideas they put forth punched down on almost every minority #Auspol #AusVotes25

"Fuck me. Really?"
