In a word association game, Albo called AOTY Grace Tame "difficult". Albo knows the abuse Tame has suffered and the incredible good work she has done. I find his use of the word "difficult" to describe Tame to be thinly-disguised coded #misogyny. Abbott & Morrison would be proud. #auspol

If "difficult" means challenging an unjust status quo, Australia needs *more* difficult women. And men. Grace Tame already has a solid track record making a difference. Albo will be remembered for being far too *easy* with corporate donors, genocidal regimes, vested interests, and racist media.

Already, fewer than 1 in 5 younger & middle aged women vote for the Libs. Purging Sussan Ley won't help the party's women problem. #Auspol analysis by Aleta Moriarty michaelwest.com.au/pale-stale-a...

Better headline: PM announces $30b facility for #AUKUS subs we will never get, 'purchased' from a fascist regime we should never deal with. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Malcolm Turnbull says the problems he had while PM weren’t with Labor, but “with people like Angus Taylor & Tony Abbott, & their friends in the media” “They had control over Dutton, they burnt it to the ground.”🔥 “They’ve now got their man in again with Angus Taylor” #auspol

The Productivity Commission’s Report on Government Services 2025 again exposes a deeply unfair school funding system, with government funding growth continuing to favour private schools over public schools despite rising student need. Read more: https://bit.ly/4bHUu0x

According to new Australia Institute research, the inequality between private and public education will continue to grow, and Australian students, along with the Australian community and economy, will suffer. Read the full piece on The Point: https://theaus.in/4rsPW2I

A man threw a bomb into the crowd at an #InvasionDay rally in Boorloo (Perth) on 26Jan. The device contained explosive liquid, ball bearings & screws. Fortunately it didn't explode. Terrorism. Minimal media coverage, using gentle language: "a device designed to explode". 😠 #auspol #journalism

Almost all salmon in Australia is from Tasmania, and the industry there is essentially unregulated - and dangerously unhealthy. Do not eat it.

“One teacher lamented that not only would her students not get a fancy bus driving them door to door, they would have no bus at all. The recent privatization of bus services has led to the cancellation of the route that used to go past her school’s door.” satpa.pe/50n6pEd

Who is Zohran Mamdani, what is his agenda, and what would his equivalent in Australian Labor be promising to do? by @richarddenniss.bsky.social #ThePoint thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

Grass roots. My @smh cartoon.

Laura Tingle on #ABC has slammed Trump’s actions in Venezuela as an “extraordinary breach of international law.” Says if this is about oil, “well, actually, natural resources belong to the country where they come from.” 💥 #Venezuela

CBS News filmed but DIDN'T air this interview in which NYC Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, clarifying that Mamdani is opposed to Zionism and Israel's genocide but he's NOT antisemitic. A Jewish rabbi praising a Muslim Mayor. I wonder why they didn't air it? 🤔 #USPolitics

Be aware - pretty much everyone in the press gallery calling for a Royal Commission into antisemitism is doing it because they are completely annoyed the government is not "listen to meeeeeeeeee".

This story should be framed not so much about ABC management's 'defence' of Tingle and Ferguson. But that the pro-Israel lobby and its proxies in politics and media continue to try to monster the public broadcaster into submission. #auspol www.theguardian.com/media/2025/d...

PM Albanese calls on the Coalition to get their act together & stop playing politics with the #Bondi tragedy. “My message is that this is not a time for partisanship.” “This is a time for national unity.” “After the Port Arthur massacre, that is what occurred.” #auspol

Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career

Hey Frydenberg, don't let facts get in the way of your attempt to use the tragedy to get your snout back in the Parliamentary trough. #auspol

Not surprised but it won't stop them blaming everyone else.

• You can oppose Zionism AND grieve the murder of Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah at Bondi Beach • You can oppose Israel's genocide in Gaza AND want Jewish people in Australia to feel loved, respected & safe. • You can want a #FreePalestine AND mourn the deaths of innocents. #BondiBeachShooting

Spread this image of this opportunistic hateful woman far and wide. She feeds off hatred and without it, she’s nothing.

The symbolism of Australians racing to donate blood to help the victims of the antisemitic terror attack in Sydney should not be underestimated. This is a people saying: I give of my most inner self to help you, unknown friends. I give without credit. I recognise that humanity is one body. #auspol

This is so insane. Public education needs a massive boost, not cuts. Almost all non-gov schools are religiously affiliated in some way- why are we outsourcing education to religious orgs? Education is compulsory- we should have pride in and strengthen our secular public schools, not undermine them.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee flips his lid on #abc730 saying Donald Trump is not happy he wasn’t given a “heads up” about Australia’s decision to recognise the state of Palestine. Sorry Mr Huckabee but we make our own decisions. You can shut up.

"The report labels itself as a, “policy oriented framework for government and the Australian community” and yet it is totally devoid of any evidence for said policies and the Australian community.

"If Marles cannot renegotiate terms that prioritise our sovereignty, he should step aside ...Australia deserves a minister who can assert our position as a confident middle power, not one tethered to US policy." Marles is a US sycophant. Which makes him a security threat. #DitchAUKUS #auspol
