Watching The People vs Robodebt and it’s so spot on it’s triggering PTSD from our centerlink reliant days and those stressful, frustrating, infuriating calls on hold. It was Kafkaesque bullshit that no one has ever been being held responsible for. 😡😡😡 Not too late to get Morrison.

Misogynistic male ‘leaders’ in politics and on social media who are given an infinite sense of entitlement without a shred of accountability are certainly galvanising my feminism at the moment…Just saying….

Billionaire Gina Rinehart makes takeover bid for the Liberal Party via Andrew Hastie – LibSpill by Christmas? https://kangaroocourtofaustralia.com/2025/09/28/billionaire-gina-rinehart-makes-takeover-bid-for-the-liberal-party-via-andrew-hastie-libspill-by-christmas/ #auspol

That's because her plan with Price didn't go to plan. Price was her chosen one and she was going for the trifecta - woman, Indigenous and conservative

He is no friend to women Christofacists

Andrew Hastie will never be leader of our nation. He belongs back in the fifties. Even the fact he stuck his head up shows his true colours - disloyal, egotistical, dumb and misogynistic

Jane Caro: “Education Minister Jason Clare observed that Australia has one of the most segregated education systems in OECD. What is deeply shocking is that our children are mostly segregated according to social class.” @janecaro.bsky.social #auspol www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/21678/....

Yes, you’re right! This is the same Gina who supported Dutton’s LNP IPAs call to introduce nuclear energy into Australia - a move that would bankrupt Australians Here she is penny-pinching with solar energy while she’s trying to eat our faces off!

After watching SBS's "The People vs RoboDebt", you have to wonder how the Albanese govt can be so cruel, arrogant, and illegal in their conduct of 'welfare' policy. It's as if #robodebt was not so much a cautionary tale for Labor, but a how-to manual. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Healthcare is a basic human right Housing is a basic human right Education is a basic human right Food, clean air and water are basic human rights A universal basic income would ensure everyone has their most basic needs met It’s doable, we just have to demand the rich pay their fair share!

With Hastie in charge there’s no way the Liberals will find their way back. His ideas are regressive. Totally. Rebooted” all right - rebooted out again and again

▫️ I've obtained exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from the United Nations security room ▫️

Hastie is a wastie of spacie. Australia doesn’t have a pile of uneducated rednecks the Driberals can rely on for votes and the young want a future not a choking filthy overheated resourceless world-

Geoengineering won't save us from an economic system that runs on greed and rampant overconsumption ...

Sometimes - for no reason at all - I look back at what the former ABC chair Ita Buttrose said during this front cover story for Stellar magazine.

So yeah, the system assumes if you don’t lodge a tax return you owe back all the parenting related payments (FTB, childcare, etc) you received through the year. This is how my FTB debt was raised and was quickly dropped after I lodged a tax return

“Agencies need to be willing to review automated decisions if there is a serious question about a decision”

"Our strength comes from our diversity" once tweeted Australia's biggest grifter when bought by Gina Rinehart.

We paid millions for Mathias Cormann to become secretary general of the OECD (remember). So why not millions for a seat at the United Nations top table?

This is scary 💩

Hastie has emerged as a defacto leader of what some insiders describe as the “MAGA right” of the Liberal party, a small but noisy insurgent force attempting to drag it down a populist path. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne....

“Two of Hastie’s new focus areas – dumping net zero and cutting immigration levels – are long-running campaigns of Abbott and Advance, which have enthusiastically promoted the Liberals MP’s interventions. Abbott declined to comment and Advance denied it was “orchestrating” Hastie’s campaign.”

You can't believe the Coalition when they say....

Griffith University experts reveal that consumer power bills would be far higher under a Coalition government. Electricity generation costs would be up to 50% higher if Australia stuck with coal and gas only www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

An escalator stopping suddenly is mildly inconvenient, not a national security crisis. The fact that it has become a controversy says less about the UN and far more about an administration addicted to outrage. theaimn.net/escalating-n...
