That florid turd Barnaby Joyce is at it again, I see. No one wants your opinions, mate. Fuck off with your anti-abortion rhetoric. If you want to live in America so much, move there.

"Charlie is a seasoned media professional. He would know exactly who Avi Yemini is. He didn't have to engage with him … he made a direct choice to cosy up to a man found guilty of abusing his wife, while denouncing me as ignorant. Surely I needn’t point out the irony here." - Grace Tame

In a wonderful piece of Tasmanian bureaucracy I today used my WWVP card as ID so I could pay for a personal information card that I will need as ID to renew my free WWVP card. Turtles all the way down. #politas

#PennyWong has lost all respect. #Auspol

Seems like a logical conclusion if anyone looks at the facts.

NSW Parliament's voting on women losing the right to control their own bodies. I propose a 2nd vote. Men lose the right to control their bodies at 12yrs all are required to have a vasectomy, when a woman consents in writing to have a child with them, procedure's reversed. #Auspol

I asked ASIO why on earth President Herzog was given a tour of ASIO HQ - particularly given previous form of Israeli officials bugging their allies. You can watch the whole exchange on YouTube here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOb6...

Def. Chief David Johnstone “It was in our national interest” Shoebridge “So it was in our nat. interest to have Australians part of that activity to sink an Iranian frigate & leave survivors to drown?” Johnstone “That’s not what I said” “I repeat…It’s in our interest”🤦‍♂️ #auspol

The decision to abandon our sovereignty, blindly support US aggression and spend at least $368b on second hand submarines beggars belief. Labor’s desperate attempt to avoid being wedged on AUKUS is proving to be politically,militarily, strategically and economically incompetent.

I learn something every time I record with the Sunday Shot crew! Go watch:

Benjamin Netanyahu has said he has given orders to the Israeli army to seize control of 70% of the Gaza Strip in a move that threatens to torpedo an already fragile ceasefire and create catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the already devastated territory. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

The AFR Rich List shows a grotesque accumulation of wealth while millions of Australians struggle with the cost of living. There are now 178 billionaires in Australia, 17 more than a year ago. Australia doesn't have a wealth problem. Australia has a wealth distribution problem.

One of the ugliest and most corrupt property deals in history. Genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crime after war crime. The world has had years to respond to this. All our governments are complicit.

Morning. ☕️

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

Because she’s been permitted to do whatever she chooses without scrutiny or explanation she thinks she can do anything she pleases and we should mind our own business. Absolutely disgraceful that Albanese has allowed this to happen. No one voted for this woman

Jillian Segal says it’s the ECAJ’s fault that she is still listed as a Director to a Trust linked to the ECAJ, insisting it’s their job to remove her Apparently, managing her own basic legal conflicts and resignation paperwork is someone else's job description. Shocking #auspol

Segal then said that while she is no longer the President of the ECAJ bcoz of her now “independent” role, she “can’t be removed” from ECAJ because of a “technical” matter, before admitting she has hired an ECAJ “specialist” to work in her office.🤦‍♂️ Unbelievable. #auspol

David Shoebridge slams Jillian Segal who refuses to release conflict of interest docs claiming they’re “private” Segal, stumbling, then claims her conflicts are actually “public” Shoebridge “if it’s public, why do you object to them being published?”🔥 Trainwreck💥 #auspol

There's one overarching conflict of interest which provides the context for all of Segal's squirming and evasion: Her official job title is Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism. But in reality, she works for Israel. #auspol

Anyway today it has become even more evident than it was yesterday that this shit is a nightmare. Please do come along to this. bsky.app/profile/anti...

I was doing this shit for a decade. Horrible and it’s why I’ll never shut up about raising the rate and getting rid of mutual obligations Let people live their lives

Many people asked how it was that the Government decided to grant ECAJ $124 million more in funding this budget. Turns out that’s the number ECAJ asked for. Don’t know any other area in Government where this is how it works!

Just imagining the reaction across Australia if the government appointed a Special Envoy to Combat Homophobia who rated universities on their response and threatened to punish them if they weren’t good enough, and also gave 150 million to a peak LGBTQIA+ body to spend as they saw fit

nothing has changed in all the years I have been researching this area onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Australia's Employment services are useless and harmful and designed to be exactly that. bridges.monash.edu/articles/the...

We've got 30 years of evidence that privatised employment services and mutual obligations make finding work harder. It's insulting to people trapped in this harmful, failed system for Labor to simply fiddle at the edges and label it "reform".

This is 100% on you, Australian media. You can't explain a simple taxation change to the Australian people? Fuck you, don't you dare put this back on us, the Australian people. Get off your arses & go do the work. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Leaked docs show that BHP delayed renewables, slowed electrification & weakened their climate commitments. And BHP reportedly received $622m in fuel tax credits after paying less than $9m under the Safeguard Mechanism. This is greenwashing propped up by bad policy.

ABC’s 730 programme aired this bizarre exchange where Flotilla activist Neve was pushed to show documentation of her alleged abuse at the hands of Israeli forces. What do you think of this line of questioning? youtu.be/MUcQgzdyHIE

Absolutely wild scoop: Australian gas company Santos demanded recipients of disaster funding help supply the company and the broader oil/gas industry with good PR in hilariously explicit terms Read the whole amazing story here: drilled.media/news/santos-...

So the obvious question: why do people with disabilities get kicked off #NDIS to create budget savings, while an unaccountable, useless and dangerous nuclear subs commitment gets big funding increases, no questions asked? If these are our spending priorities, the nation is doomed. #AUKUS #auspol

We found more stars once we invented the telescope. The NDIS just discovered more people needing help once it was invented. The stars were always there, we didn't see them until we could look. #BudgetAus
